PP 5524G incoming!

I pulled the trigger, and received this beautiful 5524G yesterday. I was debating between a few different pieces, and this one got the nod. It’s a little smaller than the Offshores I’m used to, but I like it! I have some new straps on order, and should be receiving them soon.

Thanks to Tom (GB-Man) for his input on the different pieces I was contemplating.
