New MK40 Elite 03 on the Way!

[JFootin]

So...I sold my PM40 at my LGS for $400(bought it for $499 from them back in January) and also sold some jewelry that I had from old exs. I browsed GunBroker.com and found a great deal on a brand new MK40 Elite 03 with standard sights for $726.99 with shipping. My LGS wanted $785 for a regular non-elite MK40 so I passed it considering that I had to wait about the same amount of time as if I ordered one myself and I knew that I could find a better deal online.

I would've bought it if they had actually had it in their possession. It annoyed me that I had called them and asked if they had a MK40 in stock and upon getting to the store and waiting patiently for the next available person to help me, they couldn't find it! I know that stuff like this happens and that it's just a mistake. I had actually gotten them to take down my info to order me one on the following Monday if they couldn't find their mystery MK40. On the way home, I was thinking about it and figured that I should get exactly what I want this time and save some money in the process. I really wanted an Elite MK40 with XS Big Dots. I ended up calling them to cancel the order and apologize for the time spent on locating it. They understood and were ok.

So long story short, I sold my PM40 on Sunday and won an auction for a MK40 Elite 03. Got my local range to fax their FFL on Monday. Shooters of Jacksonville FL shipped my new Kahr today. I'm excited and can't wait to take it to the range. Hopefully my XS sights and spare follower comes in tomorrow so that I can get the sights installed when I pick the gun up and do the break-in. Hopefully it'll be a trouble free break-in. Wish me luck! Sorry for the repetition and possibly confusing story

Hey, Cuz, is my dream gun on the way.....to my house? I don't know how I'll ever repay you! Send you some North Carolina pickled barbeque pork or something. Thanks, Cuz!

Haha no...it's on the way to my FFL! unfortunately it was shipped via USPS Priority so I have limited updates on where it is. On the bright side, I received my XS Big Dot sights and extra mag follower from Kahr today. It sucks that I'll probably have to wait til Sunday to take delivery of my MK40 since I'll be busy with an autocross event all day Saturday(when it most likely will come in). I'll be there at 9am sharp Sunday morning if not earlier waiting at their door like a dog waiting to go outside to pee

Haha thanks and nice! IDK if I'd get the wood grips though since I plan on getting a CT laser grip later on. I had to make a choice between CT laser or night sights since I couldn't afford both at the time. I feel like a boy who knows what Santa is bringing him and the suspense of not knowing when exactly he'll get it is overwhelming...yes I'm impatient! I feel a bit awkward carrying my P380. I'm used to carrying a pocketful of 40

Sugar plumbs dancing in your head - LOL


I have to wear dress cloths during the week. So it's my 11 oz 38.
On the weekends, in my tactical pants, I'm always carrying my MK40 and two 6 round extended mags.
I do feel a little under armed with my 38 too.

Got to watch some NFL now...

Haha stop teasing me! I can't wait to break her in. I plan on doing the field strip and cleaning when I get to the range, then shoot at least 100 rounds of fmj along with some hp to try out. I'll have four mags to use but it'll make me blow $40+ in fmj in ten minutes lol. I'll try to take my time though. I want to duplicate those 2-3" ragged holes that I've seen people bragging about! JK I'm not even sure if I could really do it unless I tried my best with every shot. But who knows, maybe the big dots will help me out. I do ok with the factory sights. I tried to train with the laser enabled and disabled so that I wouldn't be dependent on the laser.

I'll post pics of my targets when I go out for the first range trip and of course I'll post some Kahr porn if I'm unable to shoot it the day I pick it up.

Well, my gun is waiting for me at my local range so I'll be picking it up around 5pm today. I hope my background check doesn't get delayed for too long. Some guy with gun offenses has the same first and last name as me. When I bought my P380 it took over two hours Their gunsmith won't be in til tomorrow to install my big dots so I'll probably just bring it home tonight and clean it. Does anyone have experience with tapatalk? I'm thinking about getting it for my iPhone so that I can upload pics with it.

Lol I'm serious! My mom was suspicious as to why I was voluntarily taking driving school one Saturday morning. She looked my name up on some govt site and found that guy and was mad because she thought that it was me!
