IWB (i've tried a lot) K&D Dakota Defender or Thunderbird. The DM Bullard Dual Carry is nice as well. OWB, I really liked the Hoffners Hybrid Warrior. Of coure the next guy will recommend brand x and so on so on. It is trial and error and the ultimate holster will be the one that happens to your nuances the best.

I shot it exclusively for 2 years when you could get it dirt cheap at Academy and never had a problem. It is much cleaner than Wolf or WWB IMO. I've had more problems with WWB (which cost more BTW) and never with Blazer. BTW Blazer is the same thing as Speer/CCI and their stuff is GTG. You're not going to save anything loading 9mm unless you loads thousands. Just buy it and save the equipment money for more ammo!

People who carry only need 911 after the fact!

I'm definitely going to have to use that in the future!

Why is it a problem? My M&P mags do that as well.

I think getting caught carrying in a park bathroom is the least of the offenses they would get you for!

Lincoln, JFK, J. Edgar Hoover, Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, etc. I in no way said it was acceptable or right. I simply make the point that this has been going on behind the scenes for a long time going back to even the Civil War technology aside and that now it is finally defined and addressable. When did this become a "real" issue? It certainly wasn't a mainstream conversation before Bush 2. So my point is not that Bush was right to do it, but rather by bringing it to the public eye in the way of the Patriot Act, it made what had been done in secret tangible and visible. With the curtain removed it has allowed for Americans to have discourse and an actionable subject to deal with. whether this was intentional by Bush 2 or not is irrelevant. These conversation were considered tinfoil topics as recently as the Clinton administration. Our freedoms are being eroded away but not by the Patriot Act. t is being done with other much less obvious methods like socialism, taxes, education, political correctness, etc.

About the only thing I liked about working 3rd is I got off before Obamaroma started and slept till it was over!

Could be worse. Try getting a 6.8 upper! Stag is backed up 6 mo. and all the custom guys are that much if not more. A lot of the builders quit taking orders or raised prices to slow ordering.

I meant the barrel. I wouldn't want to buy a whole other upper. If it's just a matter having another gas port drilled and the carbine port closed, it might be an option. Just a thought.

It is what gives him validity and power. It is the magic wand to wave in front of the masses so they won't see the the ideology. It's the same with Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, etc. If the problem ever gets acknowledged as fixed they loose their money and power.

Anything is better than the stock sights. I'd say go for it. XS makes two different kinds BTW.

Now those make it look good.

Just thinking.... what is the possibility of making a carbine length AR into a mid-length?

I've got two. You can have one if you want it.

I like the 9 myself, but I'm a mid length kinda guy.

I just read some about them, can't remember the source, but everything was very complimentary of them. You should get one so we can live vicariously through you.

I would say that qualifies as a hand cannon!

Nice! I hope to be adding my bit of "change" with a new 6.8 SPC upper. I have a feeling I needed something a little more potent than 5.56!

Ah... you mongoloids!

You are correct in your interpretation. Keep in mind if you shoot till the threat is neutralized (as my instructor put it... not to mention several LE firends!) there will only be your word.

The Millet DMS-1 gets great reviews. If you can find someone who has them in stock they are well worth the money. http://www.swfa.com/c-1395-millett-tactical-riflescopes.aspx Burris makes and simliar one called the Xtreme Tactical XTR but is a lot more pricy.http://www.swfa.com/pc-12453-591-burris-1-4x24-xtreme-tactical-xtr-30mm-rifle-scope.aspx There is another one called GRSC CRS that is pretty novel. http://www.grsc.com/combatriflescope.php These are all lower power but should do the trick without breaking the bank.

The Patriot Act actually made transparent and legal what had been done in this country for a very long time before Bush every got into office. To that I give Bush credit. He didn't try to covertly do as his predecessors did but rather brought it to the public's eye like had never been done. I see it quite the opposite of a lot of our Libertarian and liberal friends. You can't check and balance what doesn't "exist". Bush will forever be seen as the master of the practice simply because he pulled back the curtain.

Who's not?

Technically there are only 3 main "races". Caucasian, mongoloid, and negroid. It is thee epitome of ignorance that we have people running around talking about race when they are usually in the same "race". African-american, Asian-, etc are not races they are people groups that are usually mixed races. Obama's father was 3/4 Arabic (caucasian) and his mother was American (caucasian) so technically he is less than 1/8 negroid and 7/8 caucasian IIRC. Of course this is all mute becasue people want to believe in illusions, ala socialism.
