Didn't the VT500 originally come with a rectangular headlight? That was such an '80s feature. This one looks much nicer than the VT500s I remember.

I have the basic model with a Vortex red dot. It's everything Garufa says it is. Totally fun. Cheers, Whisper

If it has a capacity of six rounds, why does it have a cylinder with only five chambers? Wondering, Whisper

I still have a Rockchucker and use it occasionally, but if you shoot in much volume you will want a progressive press like the Dillon 500 series, which is what I most often use. It will cover almost all handguns and the most common medium length rifle cases (mine won't do .45-70, for instance). I agree with Grayfox 54 that looking for used equipment is a good idea -- I've seen some remarkable deals. Good luck, Whisper

I've had good luck with my Kodiak and would recommend it without hesitation. Cheers, Whisper

Last I checked, the UK and Japan aren't the same as Austria. My point, perhaps too subtle for you to follow, was that it's ridiculous for an Austrian to claim the US can't make great products anymore. Many countries, including Austria and the US, have different areas of industrial excellence, and areas where they are less competitive with other nations. Austria, for example, imports most of its food, while the US leads the world in food exports. Not surprisingly, US agricultural equipment (especially John Deere and Case) also leads the world. The US is also the global leader in construction and mining equipment (Caterpillar). Five of the top 10 medical device manufacturers in the world are American. And while I'm sure the Austrian military is proud of its Glocks, guess which country makes the Huey, Kiowa, and Blackhawk helicopters and the C-130 transport planes used by the Austrian Air Force? Just because it's popular in some circles to say the US can't make anything nowadays, that doesn't make it true. Cheers, Whisper

P365 with 10-round mag for pocket carry, or P365XL for appendix carry, depending on what I'm doing that day, plus a pocket knife of some kind (most often Swiss Army), POM pepper spray, and Streamlight Microstream.

Hmm. I'm sitting here trying to think of great Austrian medical advances of the past 25 years, and wondering where there's a dealership that sells Austrian cars, and for some reason nothing comes to mind.

Their website says yes: Red Dot Optic Cut (glockstore.com) Cheers, Whisper

It's interesting to read this about the new ones. I've always heard that the earlier ones were jammomatics that, when they fired, would eject their superexpensive brass into low earth orbit. If they've finally gotten these guns to work after so many years, it would be fun to try one. Cheers, Whisper

Hmm. Glockstore in Nashville will mill a slide for an RMR for $200. You won't get an OEM slide for that amount.

I see this is a Liberty Model, i.e., made in 1976. Nice. One of you folks needs to buy this. Cheers, Whisper

Welcome. CA is a beautiful state, but its leaders have created too many problems for me to ever consider living there, and I fully understand why you would prefer a place like TN. Hope you enjoy it here. Cheers, Whisper

I'd SBR one of my .300 AAC rifles, get an SBS of some kind, get an MP5, and put cans on a rifle and a .45 ACP handgun. If only.... Cheers, Whisper
