Another Glock that's found a "forever home" (haha) is my G27. It's my favorite carry item now. I really like the 40S&W round!! I just wish I could find the perfect OWB holster for it that won't break the bank.
I haven't owned a subcompact Glock in a long time...but I love this for my G19:

Raven Concealment Systems OWB Single Mag Pouch.
It's perfect.
For AR mags, Eagle Industries FB's.

Looks like Colt's going to follow BCM's model for rifle sales. Stripped rifles - you add your components.
Heck, I wish this was an option back when I bought mine.
For a street price of around $725-ish...it'll sell.

If this is for a rifle....
Get a Aimpoint T1, leave it on and change the batteries once a year and you're GTG.
I've had mine for four years (constant on) and my original battery finally died last month.Yep - total agreement here.
I'm roughly two years into my second battery - owned my T-1 since '08. I keep it on "7."

Doubt it.
Magazine pouches, though - absolutely.

My dilemma is that I have a Glock 21 (purchased new in 2000) that I cannot have fun with at the range. Aside from the ammo expense vs my S&W 910, the Smith is just more fun to shoot. I have trouble with the grip on the 21 because I do not have gorilla hands and so my accuracy suffers. I think I want to sell the Glock 21 and get a 9mm that fits my hand better and I would enjoy shooting more. I am not sure what the Glock would bring and need to shoot a few different models to determine what I want to buy. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Just one - see if you can find a used Gen3 G17, serial numbers in the H-M range, get a decent set of sights and a few extra mags for it, and enjoy.

Larue makes the best QD's in the industry - my Micro T-1 sits on my 6920's rail securely.
Buy with confidence.
Enjoy the dillo dust. Good on burgers, steaks and occasionally chicken.

A HUGE +1 for Raven Concealment Systems. They're the gold standard in kydex, not to mention they're the originator of this design of holster that...well, I'll just say that a lot of folks out there aren't very original and leave it at that.
Many of these companies popped up in 2010-2011 when wait time for RCS Phantoms was approaching six months from time of order. Cut to today, and RCS can deliver most holsters immediately, while the, ah...duplicators, still need a 3-4 week turnaround...
Been using their holsters since '08 - and I'm still very pleased. I won't use any other brand of OWB rig...and my soon-to-be-purchased VP9 is going in one.

Like sybo stated, Wilderness Tactical is tough to beat. Made to order premium gun belts at a good price. I've been using the Frequent Flyer model for 7 years or so now. Great holster, especially the polymer-lined model.

Also, Ares Gear makes one of the best belts on the market - pricey, but great quality and secure enough to allow you to cvarry that S&W .500 in a pancake rig, strong side :up:

Lots of decent ideas here - so I'll throw out one more:
Drop trou, then as soon as you're sitting down, re-buckle your belt and use your knees to offset the difference in dimensions.
It works if you're carrying OWB just fine. I've done it with AIWB, too - it's more of a challenge, but still better than placing your gun on a dispenser.

Maybe the horse twitched at just the right moment and everything lined up just right. Could have been the shooter, could have been the gun, could have been the horse, probably was mostly just pure luck.
Reading the guy's story, I don't his shot was anything other than pure skill with his sidearm.

I've owned both a USP Compact and USP Tactical (both in .45ACP).
Felt recoil was/is a non-issue. Both guns shot point of aim, and ran like sewing machines.
The USP45C was a great CCW gun. The USP45T? Meh, not so much.
Having said all that, I'd CCW a USP45 - carry it AIWB at 1 o'clock.

Looks like S&W got their act together, and...
This guy needs his own TV show:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/12/06/austin-cop-sure-shot-stopped-crazed-gunman/
Holding the reins of two horses with one hand, Austin Police Sgt. Adam Johnson raised his service pistol and fired a bullseye into the target some 312 feet away.
Down went Larry McQuilliams, and so ended his rampage through the streets of the Texas capital, where he’d fired more than 100 rounds from his AK-47 and .22-caliber rifles at buildings. The shot, from Johnson’s Smith & Wesson M&P .40 pistol, hit McQuilliams square in the chest...

I have my eye on the aimpoint PRO but just don't want to fork out that much dough until I am sure I like a red dot. I feel the vortex is the right balance between value and cost at this point for me. If I don't like it I can always sell it.
Go to a stocking Aimpoint dealer and look through one. It's only $400...and it's a combat-quality optic.

I've had a 4MOA optic of some sort for almost 20 years. The next optic I buy will have a 2MOA dot. Don't confuse dot brightness with dot size. Crank up the power, and the dot can be seen.

OP, check these out - HTH:
And since you're running a RDO:

OP, you'll be fine with the PSA, or if you want to take a step up, with this (comes with a free BCG):
Combined with a blem'd BCM lower, you could "build" a complete mid-length rifle for around $900.
Or, if you want to try something different, buy a NIB Colt LE6920...hard to beat $900.00 for a brand new Colt carbine.
http://www.impactguns.com/colt-m4-carbine-6920-ar15-16in-6920.aspx
A 1/7 barrel will be fine for everything from 55-grain ball up to the special 77's like the Mk-262. And will work just fine with really great loads like the 55 and 70-grain Barnes TSX loads.
Good luck in your search.

OP, the only advice that I can give you is this: AR's look alike, but not all are built the same.
If you're looking for the best possible compromise between quality and price point, I suggest that you take a strong look at the Colt LE6920. It's available at multiple retailers at a good price , but here's the best one I've seen lately:
$899.88 and in stock as of 10/22/14 - http://www.impactguns.com/colt-m4-carbine-6920-ar15-16in-6920.aspx

I had one of the first G34's sold in the US...and stupidly sold it. Great trigger, ran like a sewing machine.

I'm 6 feet even and 170, Carrying a full-size pistol is easy. In fact, have you ever considered OWB rather than IWB?
I've carried OWB using a Raven Concealment System's Phantom since 2008. It conceals well with just a t-shirt, and flat out disappears with a button-down or a polo-style shirt.

OP, suggest that you take a look at the following:
1. Pick up a "real" fighting handgun, chambered in 9mm or better. Since you like M&P's, the choice should be obvious. Here's one:
http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=209301
2. A good weaponlight > laser. Having said that, Surefire > other light brands. Their X3000U is the gold standard in a dedicated weaponlight:
http://www.amazon.com/Surefire-Ultra-Ouput-Weaponlight-Black/dp/B00999CBJ6
3. For holsters, you need only look here. Often copied, they are the originators of this design:
http://raven-concealment-systems1.mybigcommerce.com/smith-wesson-phantom-light-compatible-holster/
And an extra magazine on the belt:
http://raven-concealment-systems1.mybigcommerce.com/single-modular-pistol-mag-carrier/
4. Don't forget a good gunbelt, either. The polymer-lined model is awesome:

Now get some training!
HTH, and good luck to you.

OP, here's a recommendation (as I was also born in 1965):
Step 1: Buy a Series 70 Colt Government Model
Step 2: Talk to one of these guys: Wayne Novak ( http://www.novaksights.com/customguns/index.html ), Hilton Yam ( http://www.10-8performance.com/ ), or Jason Burton ( http://www.heirloomprecision.com/ )
Step 3: Have them build the 1911 of your dreams, which, given your price point should be pretty easy
Step 4: Pick a durable finish and keep it a shooter...even if it is an heirloom gun. Salt bath Nitride, for instance, looks pretty good on 1911's.
HTH.
