My Latest Purchase (or just pictures of your current guns)

Thanks! Remarkably little wear on frame rails and barrel hood. Still locks up tight and no rattling of slide on frame. Barrel lands and grooves all look good. Its been a great shooter - strictly a competition and fun gun at this point. A simple Gen 4 G19 is my primary defensive weapon that goes in my briefcase and car.

Can't beat a Kimber. This is my everyday duty gun, and it's a tack driver. Mine has a little be more wear evident, but I think it has held up well.
In all honesty, If I was actually in the field everyday and subject to being out in the rain on a regular basis, I would probably carry a Glock. My plan is to get an Ed Brown and carry that prior to retirement. I've got at least 4 more years to go, so I have time to make it happen.
Possibly. It would be a great range and defensive pistol. Perfect for any Red Dawn type home invasions.Is anyone else thinking about springing for the new M17 now that Sig has released to public? Looks like it can be had for around $600 street price - my local Sig dealer has quite a few...
Meh. Not a fan of FDE. Maybe the Nitron compact.Is anyone else thinking about springing for the new M17 now that Sig has released to public? Looks like it can be had for around $600 street price - my local Sig dealer has quite a few...
I bought the P320 (Civilian version) last spring and I love it. I just wish they released the M17 earlier so I could have purchased that model. I know that there isn't much difference between the two so I would definitely recommend it. I've put upwards of 2000 rounds through mine so far without any malfunctions and I carry it almost everyday.
Nice write up on EO Tech - factory tour Part 1 and Part 2 -
I am frustrated with my AimPoint - as my 54 year old eyes render the dot now as a smudge of three dots! I understand EOTech HWS's are immune from this.
BTW the President of EO Tech is a Hornet dude (and USNA grad and a watch guy with cool vintage Speedy) - good guy - although he has not come through with free review units for AW'ers - I will ping him on that.
Didn't want to create a new thread for this - but I suspect a EOTech is in my purchase queue for my carbine.
@Gatordev is the AimPoint still something you are sticking with?

We just picked up a M2 propane firing weapon for one door mount of the UH-1B Gunship my Army Aviation Heritage Foundation chapter is completing restoration of. It looks authentic. I thought it was a real de-miled weapon. Barrel even has rifling. But when I opened the top cover I then noticed it was missing parts and had a spark pug screwed into the chamber. The other door will have a bungee mount M60. The M60 is an awesome all metal replica air soft gun, just $440. It even has real (not live) ammo in the exposed belt. Will send photos when we have it all mounted up. M-40 Grenade launcher is already installed. Rocket pods and guns to go this weekend. Will debut in a Veteran's Day parade on Nov 12th and be loaned to the Commemorative Air Force Museum at Air Base Arizona, Mesa AZ.
Very nice pair. What is that pistol grip on the AR?
Thanks ChuckMK23, it looks more ergonomic than the classic A2 grip.
