How timely. Tonight, my daughter is going to the prom. I sent her boyfriend this picture. I think he is scared of me. Mission accomplished.

Re: Ruger mark II grips
What about a set of Hogue grips for it? They are rubber, and would probably hold up better when riding under the seat in his van. Just a thought.

Re: Bersa pistol
My wife carries a Firestorm 380 (same as a Bersa Thunder 380). It is very accurate, and she is quite comfortable carrying it. If your .40 is anything like my wife's 380, you'll like it.

I have a Savage 17 hmr with the standard wood stock, not the thumbhole. I have a Leupold vx-I and a bipod on it. I can easily shoot 3/4" groups at 100 yards with it.
