Thanks, I had to special request the way the slide is and the bobtail among other things.

A fun short story:

As some of you may know, I went to an Army-Navy store recently and bought a Zippo lighter. Well, oddly enough I also found an exact pair of shoes I needed to buy for pep band (red Converse) as well, and unsurprisingly they had a glass case of guns and knives.

I was familiar with many of the knives, but I wanted to hold one of the pistols. I ask the friendly clerk if they had any Glocks; they didn't. I checked for a USP, and he said they had one model. I asked if I could hold it, and he gave this half-amused half-concerned look and asked if I was 21. Well, you guys look at my profile picture; I sometimes don't even look 18.

So the best thing he let me do was look through the glass at the USP Compact. Better than nothing, and I was shocked that the price tag was close to $900 (like, $875). Thought it would be more around the $500-$700 guesstimate.

I'm not sure that those are tracers. They look like poly-tip expanding bullets to me. Somthing like Nosler Ballistic tips.

Plastic tipped bullets can be had in everything from hard-as-woodpecker-lips virtual FMJs to varmint bullets that won't make it through both sides of a full can of pop (of course there aint no can left either ). I load molyed 60 grain V-max in my "social" .223Rem.

You're probably right. The picture color gamut makes me think of the M196 rounds.

That's pretty damn high. Maybe a huge markup for the store. I've seen them for less in the stores near me.

I have a NAA .32 Seecamp clone. My wife just got her CCW and I wanted to know if there are any newer small Seecamp type pistols on the market now?
