New Sig P226 Elite Dark

I finally "pulled the trigger" on a new handgun: a SIG P226 Elite Dark in 9mm that I'd been looking at for a long time. 15 round magazine (illegal in Canada, Commiefornia, and much of the Nazi Northeast; my one handgun that takes a magazine with ≤ 10 rounds, my Springfield 1911 EMP, is still illegal at least in Canada for having "too short" a barrel).
I bought it on Wednesday the 14th (GunBroker auction, from Osage County Guns in Missouri; there were no opposing bidders). I declined the insurance and used a credit card instead (which provides insurance of its own); I had it sent to a local FFL dealer, Wain Roberts Firearms, because they offered a $15 FFL transfer fee for members of Florida Shooters Network. I picked it up Monday the 19th. I was worried they'd give me grief about the three day waiting period since I don't have a Florida concealed carry permit, but apparently they knew the three days started from the purchase date, which would have been the 14th, as the invoice showed.
I took it to shoot at my club, Wyoming Antelope, on Wednesday morning; great gun, crisp trigger; I was shooting nearly as well with it as my Glock 34 almost immediately, keeping in the black center ring at 30 feet without difficulty.
Books finished: Execution.
