22lr upper (tactical solutions, etc)
Had a Spikes ST-22 and liked it for the most part. Pros: same lower so same ergos (training?), proper twist for a 22LR, sights don't have to be re-zeroed as opposed to a conversion bolt. Cons: expensive, doesn't hold the bolt open on empty, just rests on the mag follower. I ended up trading mine for a M&P 15-22

Red Dot Magnifier - forward of optic?
Just my uniformed thoughts but the magnifier is probably focused on the back of the red dot, if you put it out front it would only be focused at a similar distance (like...your FSB would be in sharp focus and that's it). Any optics with magnification have a focal length outside of which stuff will be blurry. But, again, I don't have one.

Sent out a price request for a new pistol...
You can shoot my .40 full size with the DCAEK if you want. But you might not want to go back to your Glocks

Somerset IDPA this weekend?
Victor would have stolen the show if those Experts hadnt shown up. Sounded like machine guns on some stages! EDIT: I meant Master. Two Master shooters.

Somerset IDPA this weekend?
I've NEVER gotten a reply to any of my emails...that being said, Cam ran the practice on Wednesday instead of Tom. Maybe he's out of town?

Colt Revolvers
Colt will refinish and retime a Python for you at the factory if you're willing to drop the coin. $300 last I heard, I had called about having some holster wear repaired but for that price I'll just tell myself it adds character.

what pistols come in pink
Idk about factory but I've had good results with DuraCoat paints as long as you take your time and are careful. I'm sure they have pink.

M&P 15 SPORT FRONT A2 SIGHT TOWER
I did it once with a hacksaw and bench grinder plus cold blue. It's only aluminum so it's not bad. If you grind it down far enough and get a longer handguard you don't even need to blue it.

Self Guiding Bullet
I don't know that's going to be the price or anything ...but judging from other guided ordnance I took a wild guess. The XM25 is supposed to be only $30 or so per shot in production but that's only special fuze timing, not actuating features and onboard telemetry and currently it's like $1k per round (Armytimes)

Plastic Cased Ammunition
My biggest concern would be how the plastic expands to fill the chamber when firing. It has to spring back afterwards or else it can't be extracted. Polymers can be heat resistant. Or elastic. Or affordable. Getting all of that is the trick.

Which gun for IDPA
If you're a member of SCFGPA like your profile says, come on out to the practice the wednesday before matches. Low key and very helpful. BTW I see lots of Serpas at the matches. I don't have one myself but I think it does the job just fine.
