[QUOTE="OV1kenobi, post: 1874119, member: 5005"] I recently (60 days ago in OSBI's hands) applied for my CCW. Looking for some direction here. I don't have an unlimited supply of funds, so I am looking for the most effective use of my available discretionary income devoted to firearms-related purchases in the order of most importance. Right now, I own a completely stock Glock 19. I do not as of yet have either a holster or night sights for it. So, it looks like I need to decide what I need to do among the following: 1. Stock up on components. I do reload and have a supply of powder, primers and brass on hand. I've been thinking on stocking up on some more powder and 9mm bullets to get in lots of practice. I really do believe in lots of practice. 2. Buy a really good holster or two in the carry methods of my choice. 3. Night sights. I am 54 years old, near-sighted, and am thinking of the XS Big Dot system. On the surface, it seems as though I should concentrate on acquiring components because one never knows what sort of run might occur leading up to the election (remember 2008?) So, components might be in the shortest supply/potentially regulated category. Still, with good holsters sometimes running six weeks or more in delivery time, I am also thinking that it might be better to place my order for a holster in order to at least have one once my license arrives - even it is a Don Hume. Please don't get me wrong. I don't mean to slam Don Hume; particularly as it is an Oklahoma company and I have had good luck with them and Bianchi in the past when it came to an "off the shelf" holster. What would you advise?
