I stopped in there on leave a couple weeks ago. Mike was EXTREMELY friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. He's got a military and contract background, extensive training, but is sadly a fan of the standard issued Beretta...:dunno:
Anyhow, i will certainly be returning next time Uncle Sam gives...
I paid $120 here locally for mine. Great price! I've had it out in the field for a tally of perhaps a few months. Rations, sticks, boxes, seals on ammo cans, plastic banding, rope and twine, uniforms, paper, cardboard, plastic...I've cut everything with this guy. I think I've sharpened it twice...
Thats a very good point. Shortening the barrel to such a length is extremely detrimental to your ballistic performance. I have opted for a modified 870 with a variety of loads. Weight isn't an issue for me, as we get conditioned to ruck march/assault packs on a weekly basis.
Kudos to you, sir, for letting your son get some trigger time and for letting him have his own opinion. Education is the best way to teach some firearms safety, and a huge step towards responsibility in a growing child.
I love Glocks, I've had the mix of brands, fired all sorts of firearms, and...
Just saw your post, nice!! I've thought about a side saddle. What brand did you go with? My stock is the buffered stock too, yours are the standard right? Mine won't collapse that short, but about an inch farther out.
The Federal Champion Value Pack has worked well for my .22lr's. I used to just buy whatever, but my Walther P22 is picky. i got really tired of manually cycling it, and the upgrade in ammo definitely made the difference. Went through an entire box about two weekends ago without a single failure...
I have the same holster...
I didn't really do anything special for its fitment of the pistol. It loosened a bit pretty quick, and it's stayed consistent. I think I've had it around 5-6 months now.
What bothered me about mine is the curvature, or lack thereof, in the holster itself as it sits...
I purchased a shotgun from him while home on leave. He tried cutting me an excellent deal just for being military(he practically wanted to give it to me). We settled on what I felt was a more honest price, and I'm extremely satisfied. Great guy to deal with.
