[QUOTE="BrandonMF, post: 1538332, member: 13086"] Thank you all for your help and advice. It was invaluable. I know some people think I should've gone and done research myself, and I did. But some of you, I value your opinions more than some random internet stranger, and so I asked. If you were offended by this and any perceived laziness on my part, get over it. Now here's what I decided on based on research, AND advice of trusted elders. ;) [attach=full]91282[/attach] I went with CMC Powermags and a shooting star for reliability, and five other cheaper ones including a a MecGar for range fun. I'm def getting more CMCs soon. They're amazing mags. The gun came pre-installed with three dot night sights from the gentlemen I traded to for it. I've only done a cursory glance, but they appear to be Trijicons. I put five hundred flawless rounds through it with the only malfs being my cousin who couldn't grasp the idea that limp wristing made the gun malf. After shooting it a bit, I realized I HATED the arched MSH, so I traded it out with a Springfield Armory flat mainspring housing. Greatly increased the comfort of both gripping and shooting and it points more naturally for me. The US grips aren't the greatest looking or feeling. They became slippery when my hands started to sweat. I gave the hogue soft rubbers a thought, but my friend has a hogue grip on his AR and I hate them. I like something a bit more rigid and grippy. So I went with the Miltac G10 laminates, both for function, personal preference, and looks. The desert camo was just too sexy imho. :P As for Holster, I went with the Summer Comfort from Galco. The best holster I've ever worn. Not even my Crossbreed was as comfortable, although crossbreeds are far, far better for concealing the handgun. However, considering it's a full-sized steel handgun, I put comfort above how well it concealed. I carried my 1911 fully loaded around the house yesterday, doing yardwork and some medium to heavy lifting, and barely noticed it. It was lightweight and comfortable, and draws easily, while firmly retaining the gun during manual labor. and it's beautiful. :) [/QUOTE]
