My A3 Colt AR15 has exactly ONE "Add on". The Beeman SS4 30mm scope. Yes it IS an air rifle scope, but it's rated for full automatic rifle fire!

Oh and I should say that 45K rounds through a 45acp barrel sounded like A LOT to me. But what do I know. The HK45 and USP45 series have an expected service life of 45-65,000 rounds. Their manual specifically states you ARE PERMITTED to use +P and +P+ ammo. I've never seen another manufacturer state this.

Oh hey Gary, any suggestions on what I should do to my Glock 19 (besides a set of sights)? Yes, shoot it.

Night sights are the only modification needed on a Glock 9mm. This excludes Gen4 which requires selling it and buying a Gen3.

My phone is down to 9% power so I'm signing off.
My opinions are a lot like my world view and personality: unforgivingly direct and blunt but paid for with a lifetime of actual experience. This experience borders on excess as I'm one of those over-achiever types who simply does not settle for second best.

(This is why I've now owned around 150 Busse and Kin since I started testing them in 2009).

Many folks mistake honest, and bluntness for rudeness. I DO NOT! I like frankness, even if I do not like the answer. It ensures you know the answer/where you stand.
Haha, I have added a steel mag release to it and three steel mags. This IS NOT a drop free (Mag) gun. Oh well, I still like it. Yeah I have shot it but I do need to shoot it more.
But first I need to put some sights on it considering how I ripped off the rear plastic sight! The next ones will be steel, big dot front and V rear.

Nite Gary, thanks for the Banter and advice/wisdom.
It's been a pleasure/informative as always.

Springfields are full of MIM parts if that matters to you? I'm a "wait a little longer for a better gun" person.
As such, I'd recommend looking at a Dan Wesson Valor or used Les Baer Custom Carry or TRS.
No MIM in the Valor line or any LB. It's funny you mention the Valor because I spent a couple days reading up on them! Also spent some time looking at videos and reading on Wilson Combat...oh mama...some fine looking firearms. Ended up dreaming about owning one the other night! Lol!

Rich, if you think those prices are bad, you should look at some of the other "Premium" makers fares!
