My rifle started out as a stock civilian Colt M4. I added an ACOG right away and eventually added a rail system, flip up front and rear sight and side mounted sling attachments. I have tried a Redi-Mag and a front grip but did not like the feel of the grip (they aren't for everyone) and I...

My wife and I keep a variety of weapons in the bedroom. Right now that variety consists of a S&W 640 in the nightstand, no holster; a Springfield .45 Compact on my dresser, no holster and my wife's Glock .45 on her dresser in her duty belt holster.

Congrats CZ! I have a 9mm CZ-75 I picked up in 1988 and my wife has one in .40. We both love our CZ's and will probably keep them forever.

I agree, get him the gun. My father recently passed from a long battle with cancer so I am familiar with the effects it has on a person as well as their family. If he has an interest in one then I urge you to go forward with your plans to give him a gun. Hopefully you have the opportunity to...

To my knowledge the military uses ball ammunition only in it's sidearms. My wife is a member of the Air Force SF and they only carry ball ammunition. For the individual who was shown expandable ammunition by a member of the SFS I would bet the ammunition as carried without proper...

Viking Tactics The V-Tac sling (made by Viking Tacticshttp://www.vikingtactics.com/) is an excellent design that has been adopted by many within the spec-op community. They have two versions (wide and thick) and adjusts to any user.

I use a High Noon IWB for my Springfield Compact .45. It's of all leather construction and solid stitching. You might also check out Wild Bill's Custom Leather. The only draw back I can see is availability. I had to purchase all of my High noon and Wild Bill products on line. I believe you...

Way of the Gun.

I agree with Jason M on the ammo purchase. Besides, you tend to get the better deal on ammo on the last day of the show. Most people don't want to load all that stuff back in the truck and would rather sell it.

I don't know that much about them however my friend's brother has a BM and is very satisfied with it. If you have ever read G. Gordon Liddy's book "The Monkey Handlers" his main character uses a BM. Of course according to G. Gordon the weapon was made from the armor from the German pocket...

By all means get the night sights ($65 is a great deal). Tis better to have them and not really need them than to need em and not have em.

The G19 is a great choice if deep concealment isn't an option. I'm a small framed guy and have no problem with the G19 most of the year. I'm not sure about your body size or more importantly hand size, but the G26 may present a few problems if you have large hands.

Hmmmm, decisions, decisions. I've never handled let alone fired a G20 or G36, but I have a G19C and love it. At one time I owned a P99 and thought it was a great firing weapon (although the trigger took a little getting use to). In the long run I'd go with the P99. Great weapon, plenty of...
