My dad's has rubber grips. You can call them blasphemy if you like, but nothing feels that good.

Try a Python with the Colt factory wooden grip first and then come back to tell me that the rubber grip is better.

One of my Pythons came with rubber Hogue grip (and ported barrel) because the jackass that previously owned it thought that it needed to be combat modified.

Not bad at all.

My daughter wanted an AR-15 of her own since she enjoyed shooting my AR often, so I bought her a lower reciever for her 16th birthday. She worked a summer job and earned enough money to pay for the rest of the rifle. So far she's ran about 200 rounds through it and has it dialed in pretty good.
I was a little nervous puting pink pant (in the engraving) on a new rifle but the results turned out pretty good. She's happy and now the guys at the range wont keep thinking she's shooting her dads rifle!

Nice.


I did the engravings on my XD in green. Looks pretty awesome if you ask me.

I finally got some 20-rounds MD Arms drums in for the Saiga 12. The old East German paratrooper vest has a pocket that can take one drum and the AK mag pockets that can take at least two 5-round or 8 rounds stick mags and another loose pocket that can probably take three or four stick mags. Just not the really long 10-round or 12-round mags.

Right now I have a list of guns I want:

Masterpiece Arms MPA30T (yes, a ghetto blaster)
Saiga 12 with all the goodies
A nice AK 47 or 74
Glock 19
A nice AR M4
SA SOCOM II
SA 1911, Mil Spec
Colt King Cobra or Anaconda
SW Model 27

I think that is all for now. Someone should make a Zombie Appocolypse topic LOL

I'm not sure about a few of your choices there (G19? Why?), but the one that really gets me is the AK 74. Why would you want the 74 when 47s are so plentiful and (relatively) cheap? 7.62 > 5.56 every time.

You are correct but if there was "the scenerio", I would take the 5.56 just because it might be a little easier to get here in the US vs the 7.62x.39.

The G19 because again it's a 9mm and ammo should be plentifull.
