Ta-Daaaa!!!! It has arrived...
One of my friends owns a gun shop, so I just went ahead and ordered one [at cost!]. Picked up the Burris FF3 directly from Burris through their Industry Discount program [50% off MSRP if you are an NRA-certified instructor]. I have an Eotech MRDS [which is what I really wanted to put on there], but the power button is occluded by the rear sight... so no joy there. I like the Burris so far, but time will tell how it holds up to repeated use.
I also fabbed up an OWB holster for it w/ a SF X300U [I'm such a tacti-nurd], because I want to want to drill with the gun and see how I like using a RDS on a pistol [I use them on my carbines, so I figured... why not give it a try? All the cool kids are doing it ;D]. My primal fear is that I will really like it... and we all know where that leads.
For shits + giggles, I also fabbed up an AIWB rig for it [senseless, as I never intend to carry it]. Surprisingly, it carries rather well... it's not much worse than carrying a full sized 1911 [which I will do for awhile, until I regain my senses and put my Glock back on :P]. It definitely makes its presence known [saying "Hello" to Larry, Moe and Curly down there]. But even with the optic, it can certainly be carried well. I probably wouldn't advise it, but hey... it's 'Murica.
Sadly, no range report yet... I will be out of town the rest of the week with family and there will be no time/opportunity to shoot. However, I hope to run the gun hard in the next couple of weeks and will have something to report. I can admit that I'm totally like a little kid that gets the new toy, but can't play with it yet. :(

Very nice, congrats! Great to have friends in the business! :D
Awesome sauce! Looking forward to a report once you get a chance to wring it out.
Congrats on the new pistol!
Congrats! Range report and hopefully video if you can!
Very nice Ron. Look forward to your range report.
Nice, I do like the G40. Looking forward to the range report.
They do shoot nice...you will enjoy that one...
I picked one up about a year ago this time... It had a previous owner who fortunately put the same night sights I was planning to put on, which are the TRUGLO TFO. He "unfortunately" he did some "modifications" to the internals he didn't tell me about that caused an imbalance but was easily taken care of once he sent me the original parts...
Also purchased a Lone Wolf .357 SIG barrel that shoots really smooth and accurately...
