People say this every time open carry is passed.. "There will be gunfights in the street, it'll be like the old west" And it never happens. I think that the majority of people are smart enough NOT to open carry.
I recently picked up the Canik TP9SF Mete One Series and added a Holosun 407K GRX2 Green Dot optic to it today. I'll probably run to the range tomorrow to sight it in. I was excited to see that the gun also accepts the Mete Series 17 round mags and I have plenty of those thanks to a sale at PSA.
No, the gear up program expired a few months ago, but you can still find the gear up packages that were shipped to some retailers. I believe Palmetto state still has some.

But in all honesty, I owned the 509 and it never really impressed me much. I've owned a multitude of carry guns over the years trying to find the right one and I was still looking when I picked up the Echelon. I really wasn't impressed when they first came out, but the Echelon grew on me...
