Thanks for this info. The key for me is to not get overwhelmed by the number of things I've not done; and, not discouraged by not getting everything done immediately. I've started calendaring one "new" prep task weekly. The financial, mental, emotional and domestic strains are lessened that way. The last is lessened by mentioning to my wife that "Keith said so." End of conversation...LOL!
At the risk of being an annoying scold (OK, I've crossed that threshold!), there was a "minor" accident at my range today while I was on duty as one of the RSO's. An overweight man about 60 tripped over one of the legs on a spotting scope and face-planted on the concrete pad. Thankfully, he wasn't seriously hurt and one of the other RSO's had been a medic. POINT: Get fitter. As we age, we lose dexterity, etc. I have no doubt that if this man had tripped when in his 40's (he's an experienced gun guy), he'd have never hit the ground or it would have been a soft landing. Be well, my friends, "stay safe out there", as the Roll Call Sgt. used to say at the end of the shift briefing on Hill St. Blues. Have a blessed Sunday.
Nothing wrong with your preferences, but my CB minituck is for a subcompact 9, as I'm slightly built and my "compact" .45 Kimber prints too easily. There are several new "types" of 9 these days, including a lighter load HP that doesn't over-penetrate and expands rapidly in one's intended target (hopefully). It's a 77 gr HP by Double Tap available at MidwayUSA. Not cheap. I've not done a gel-test myself.

lol. I always tell my wife you can’t put a price on safety.

Thank you fellow bro. In Christ for the information.
My preference is crossbreed inbox mini tuk with a xds or glock 36 in .45 acp. No 9mm for me.
