Thanks. There's two I've seen. Advantage Arms (better of the two from what I can discern) and Tactical Solutions. Price is around $300-350 for the kit, if you can find one. At that price, I could get a new pistol, but I like the idea of shooting my Glock to develop a rhythm with it. As for having any .22lr. I have some, but not much. And you're right, good luck finding any.

So I did a search on glock talk and found a lot of good info. Looks like I'll order one. Now to find ammo.

I got lucky and picked up 1500 rounds of the CCI tactical stuff (the stuff they test for the 15.22 platforms). Wishing I picked up double that now!

Nice Alex! I am trying to get a decent deal on a pistol grip type stock for my take down to do similar.

The New T4 from Nighthawk

Sig's P227 double stack .45

I don't know what it was, but it was delicious

Getting a new gun safe tonight. http://www.menards.com/main/p-1908092-c-6977.htm

It is $599.99 and then it has a $100 main in rebate, so $499 when all is said and done

It will be an improvement because right now I just have a cheap Stack-On safe that doesn't have fire protection.

Nice Dan. I love mine, it's great peace of mind (although that fire protection won't help if the house is burning for toooo long, or protect it from water. Friend found that out... then had to have a locksmith drill it!)

How bad was everything inside? Any pictures? I'm lucky I live within 1/2 mile of the local station but i still went with fire protection.

No pics, I don't remember all the details, happened about 15 years ago. Coincidentally, my friend lived 200tds from the local station too!

I think he had some minor problems with heat, but most of his problem was the water that got in from the firemen and then the 48ish hours afterwards before the locksmith was able to get it open, as far as I can remember...

I'm looking for a AR stripped flat top upper or possibly a complete upper with a 16" or shorter barrel if any of Y'all end up with extras to sell.
