MacGyver

A little mustard is all for me.

I've yet to go to that site without spending $50. The Maratac AAA is the best EDC flashlight around in my opinion.

Interesting. I like the idea. I also like the white interior. I'm not in the market, as I just got a new safe last year. But, out of curiosity, how expensive are they?

147gr HST's in 9mm. 230gr +p HST's in .45acp.

Interesting.

First car was a 1977 FJ40 that I bought when it was sitting under a tree in Florida. Great truck. Unstoppable. Drove it all the way through college and then some. I loved the double doors on the back, and the fold down jumpseats. I also loved that you could practically stand in it if you needed to work on it. Not crowded under the hood at all - man I miss that.

Nice light. It may replace my Maratac.

Spyderco Military. Period. Maybe the best definition of what an EDC knife should be. Fast. Wickedly sharp out of the box. S30V steel makes it easy to sharpen and keep and edge. Good G10 grip panels.

These were built from the ground up, Chandler. No existing pistol necessary. I have seen examples of jeff's work on customizing existing pistols to their owner's liking, but these are new hero-gear serialized weapons.

I expect that they will last me for the rest of my life.

It's great with the tuckable clips as well. I just haven't converted them out yet. I think that makes 4 D.M. Bullard holsters and two belts for me. I have been really impressed with his work. And, he seems like a heck of a nice guy to boot.

That's nice.

Definitely let me make clear as well that Hero-Gear exceeded every expectation I had, including delivery time. I ordered one the day after shooting one late last summer. I got the first serial number they released, and knew going in that it was going to be a while. Frankly, I didn't expect to see it until sometime this summer. Jeff was great about reaching out regularly with updates. When he did get ready to build, he reached out to make sure that my weapon was exactly like I wanted it. It's the reason I go out of my way to do business with Joe and those guys. They deliver a great product, and really strive to exceed expectations. The range bags are great. Joe, I don't know if you borrowed the design from someone else or came up with it on your own, but the shock cord added with the velcro straps is a great idea. I love the pistol.

Well, the initial wait was long, as they had to get all their paperwork in order, and had to get Caspian to run with the Hero Gear serials. I think I ordered around the end of last summer (fully expecting it to take a while). Jeff told me the other day that now that they are up and running, probably around 30 days. I'd give him a call directly to check. edit: Joe answered above 4-6 weeks

Came with the rug and three Wilson 47D mags. One of my main reasons for ordering one (after shooting one at a get together last year) was to support folks here in Tennessee. I figured that as long as I was doing that, I might as well go ahead and get it with the roll marks. I kind of like it. I think it was well done.

Well, I'm glad to see you had a legitimate reason for me missing you in the store today! Looks like you guys had a good time.

Well, like Jason I also picked up my Hero 1911 today. Jeff Meister puts together a great pistol. I cannot speak highly enough of his work. If you have wanted a custom 1911, but have been hesitant, here are pictures of the pistol and a range report. I can definitely say that this gun is capable of more than I am as a shooter. Shown with a D.M. Bullard Dual Carry I picked up in expectation of its arrival Three shots - supported - 25meters - The two showing outside the sticker are the outside 2 rounds of 5 shots from 25meters unsupported. 9 rounds from 15meters supported. The flier there occured when the people in the lane next to me did a mag dump with the rental Thompson. I was a little nervous earlier watching both the girl and her boyfriend sweeping the range and each other with a Glock - and now they were shooting a machine gun. 15meters - moderate rate of fire - unsupported The remainder of a box of 100WWB from 7meters - rapid and slow fire I am quite certain the gun is capable of more than I am right now. The supported shots at 25meters were shocking (at least with me doing the shooting). I can truly say that this weapon exceeds all of my expectations, and I would rank it right with any NightHawk, Wilson or Baer that I've had the pleasure of shooting. Definitely give Joe or Jeff a call and get your hands on one of these!

That's a good looking pistol! If it shoots as well as mine, then you should be supremely happy.

that's awesome!

Sweet. That's sooner than I had heard, and certainly sooner than I expected.

Thanks. Can't wait for the Gen4 19 to come out.

While I've often questioned the authenticity of this tale, it's always moving to read. I only wish our government (and all of us) would live by it's principles.

If it is registered as a pistol first, then it has to you have to go the SBR route and pay the maker tax if you want to add a stock. You could add a rifle length upper so long as you don't add a stock.

I've got one of those SWFA SS 10x's on my old Bushmaster Varmiter. It's a great scope for the money.

Just don't double stack those containers!
