  1. I stick with Holosun. Seems like the best compromise of durability, usability, and cost. I’ve broken several Vortex red dots. I’m not selling the ones I’ve got, but I wouldn’t buy another. 
     

    I’ve got a Trijicon RMR with the 6MOA dot. I think it’s a little too big, I prefer 2-3 MOA, but I’m a little younger and I like to shoot a little longer range. 6 MOA makes it hard to shoot my carry pistol at 100 yards.

  2. I have 3 Ruger Americans and I’ve never had a feeding issue. I’ve heard the rumors, but I’ve got to wonder if more internet hysteria than actual real world. My dad has a Gen 2 American that he likes. If feeding is a concern get one with the ACIS mags or a gen 2. I don’t care for the bolt throw on Savage rifles, so for my money, the American can’t be beat. My 6.5 shoots 3/8 inch groups.

    I've had a few MK18 and ill tell you this they are great guns if you suppress them not so great with a comp also the ballistic really suck out of a 10.5" barrel so you have to pick the right ammo. 11.5-12 is really the barrel length you want out of a 5.56 gun. The Mk18 is over gas so plan to use a heavy buffer and maybe adjustable gas block if you are going to suppress.

    I’ll second this on all points. I got rid of my 10.5 in favor of an 11.5. The 10.5 was over gassed, but not obnoxious, though I hear DD Mk18s are. 
     

    11.5 gets you a better performing, softer shooting, more reliable gun.

  4. I started down the 1911 path probably 15 years ago. I’ve had my fair share of plastic wonder guns, heck even looking for a new one at the moment, but I always come back to the 1911. I’ve found my perfect match in an aluminum framed CCO pattern Dan Wesson, it’s currently sitting in my handgun safe with a Milt Sparks holster ready to go on my belt (when I’m not being a homebody that is)

  5. OK, I'm relisting this because I kept changing the last ad so I wanted something fresh and updated. Price adjustments stay the same. Was $800 Now $700.

    Great gun. Direct milled for the Holosun/RMR footprint and re-melonited. Has trigger mechanism polished and a Lone Wolf 3.5 lb connector, but I can include a standard dot connector if you want. Holosun has the solar backup on top. Also comes with Galco leather OWB holster and a Blackhawk! SERPA. 4 Glock magazines included.

    Will throw in 50 rounds of S&B to get you started shooting too.

    I’m a sucker for a bob-tail girl.

    Was deburring done on the extractor?

    Yes. Deburred and tuned extractor, polished ejector, deburred and polished chamber, polished feed ramp (ramped barrel), and I don't know if they polished the trigger bow or the channel in the frame, or both (they did something, but notes just said trigger polish), but it is buttery smooth.

  7. Title says it all. I got this gun new. Have only fired 100 rounds through it. This is the compact model (15 round mag) with the 3.6 inch barrel. This one is supposed to be optimized for appendix carry, but I just can’t get the hang of appendix carry. So, I’d like to trade for a 4 inch version of the same model. Optics ready. If yours had a comparable optic we can swap optics too, if not I’ll hang onto the optic. 
     

    I’ll throw in one of those side car style appendix rigs
