Take the pension money and roll it into the new 401k, or cash it out and have some fun. Just make sure you make contributions that put you where you need to be.I have a pension and deferred comp. You can't depend on what they are going to give you.

Honestly not sure. probably the cheapest one on Amazon.

I have 2 Glocks. If I could only have 1, it would be a Glock. If I could only have 2, they would both most likely be Glock. Thank god NJ isn't that retarded, and I can have the variety of manufacturers that I own. Variety is the spice of life.

My friend cracked the end of his frame when he put the butt plug in. Unless you plan on burying the gun in some mud, I don't see any need.

SIG is more than just a gun manufacturer, they are a weapons system provider.

Looks like the firing pin block. You can polish the contact surfaces but IMHO the M&P trigger leaves a lot to be desired.

I don't think the supply is going to tighten. 30-06 was mainly a hunting round because all the sport shooters/ plinkers/ enthusiasts shot surplus. They have the equipment to make the round, so once demand goes up, I think the price will come down. 9mm and 5.56 are in demand, but they both have affordable options.

Good, maybe now the price for the commercial stuff will start to go down a bit.

If the minimum requirements are the same as what they were, you shouldn't worry. They are very easy. The academy itself is a whole different animal.

You should write how having to go into a police station before being able to purchase discourages illegal immigrants from obtaining a firearm legally.

So we know they are not taking money in hand over fist from the civilian market, but scaling back that operation and focusing on military contracts is insane? They make what they make and it is a fine product. They stand behind it too. If you want a neat looking gun that works but don't want to spend the money, RIA, Ruger, Remington and Springfield can fit that bill. If you want a 1911, Colt is where it's at. You get what you pay for. IMHO they have character. They will branch out when they have something to offer. Look at Ruger rushing to be like the Joneses and dropping the "American" on us, or SA hyping everyone up with that big marketing campaign and Bam... Another AR. Not saying they are bad products, just saying that most of what we are getting is not true innovation. AK-107? First company to drop an AR/AK or anything with that tech will rake in the $$.

Good story, and a reminder to double check everything. When I reassemble my BCG after cleaning, I always manipulate it by hand since it has some small parts requiring alignment. I do the same if I fully disassemble the slide on a pistol. Have fun on your trip and be safe!

There are other options, but it is funny that all of the guns post Glock are very Glock-like. Off the top of my head with the exception or the M&P (if you choose that option), they all lack any manual external safety. Striker fired is apparently the wave of the future, and the only variations seem to be partially cocked or fully cocked striker. As I said previously, you can choose whichever brand you like, but if you have some special application in mind like 3-gun or something like that, then you are going to modify any production gun you choose to suit your needs. A sight swap is common across most brands, unless they come stock with exactly what you are looking for. Oh, and if you settle for plain white 3 dot, you can't talk trash about Glock sights. I have looked at branching out to other polymer wonders, and every time I decide on Glock. What other brand has factory mags that go on sale for $16-$20? Plus, as a carry weapon, why would I modify the trigger? I find the XD series a bit too light and the M&P too mushy (not positive) with it's 2 piece design. Glock kinda hits the nail on the head. Not too light, predictable and positive enough that I can keep a fist to hand sized group (depending on my kind of day) @ 25 yards with ease and confidence.

Lol, you certainly did. I'll just stick with the original point that no manufacturer makes anything that can please the majority of their customer base right off the shelf.

This is what I'm talking about: How did Glock make such a perfect firearm? The grip accommodates my whole hand (with a shorter grip) and it still holds 15+1, the same capacity as the VP9. Based on looks alone, the VP9 should be at least 17+1. I'm not even going to go into the difference about the height above the tang. The P2000 and HK45c are probably HK's best work in my opinion.

LMAO. HK is nice. The biggest gripe I have with HK is that they make a P30 full size and sub compact. Where is the compact? The P2000 fills that role, as does the HK45c, but where is the VP9c? Why do I have to choose between a P30 and P30SK? I like a "carry" sized gun with a full grip (that is just long enough) and shorter barrel. I could just be picky, but I like a G19 size gun. Oh, and then there is the capacity thing... Same size mags, but lower round count? Squeeze at least one more in there HK. The bottom line is there is no manufacturer that nails it. Everyone makes concessions when they are choosing a pistol. A lot of it depends on your intended purpose. If you are a real match shooter, I doubt any off the shelf gun will have a solution trigger wise that will better serve you than any aftermarket solution. As far as sights go, I agree with HE. The Glock sights are placeholders. The only factory sights that make me happy are the SIG and HK night sights.

What is Glock not doing that everyone else does? They cover all the sizes and a bunch of calibers that you cannot get off the shelf with other manufacturers. There are endless customizations available if the box stock Glock doesn't do it for you. The price is also reasonable, and despite them all basically being the same most people own more than one. If a "modular" pistol is really the wave of the future, I'm sure they will be there when they need to be. I personally think that the whole modular thing only really serves people that are issued guns, not people that buy them. Other than that, what is Glock not doing?

Your mother was home when you left You're right! Your father was home when you left You're right! Your brother was home when you left You're right! Your sister was home when you left You're right! Your mother your father your brother your sister were home when you left You're right! And that's why you left You're right!

Behind the door her daddy kept a shotgun! And if you ask him why the hell he kept it!

And if you ask her why the hell she wore it!

Lol, is the guy who stole it filling out his NFA forms?

I feel like adjustable pliers are the only way to put the pins in the mag catch and trigger guard without boogering the lower up. I use electrical tape around the end of my pliers. It helps to steady the pins without mushrooming them.

I don't know about a kit, but you need a torque wrench, 2 pin punches, an armorer's wrench, brass/ polymer hammer, and an upper vice block. I have the Magpul upper vice thing and armorer's wrench and they are awesome. Hand guards that don't use the standard barrel nut will probably require a different wrench, but you still need the torque wrench. Most will come with the proprietary wrench.

I orient all pistols so that the rear tang is pretty much centered in the web between my thumb and pointer. It tends to make all pistols I pick up point naturally.

Have it, love it. Best way I could describe it is like a Cadillac version of the M&P Shield.
