NF's military pricing significantly helps, although the wait is a little longer. The SOB band is for sling storage when not in use (repeat photo, I think, but see below).

What a funny-looking scope you have. ?

Wish the red dot was a little brighter on mine.

In the direct FL sun on a white fence, it does fade noticably, but still usable, but given that's not a typical shooting situation, so far my "dot" has been very usable everywhere else, albeit on setting 10.

Not as cool as @Gatordev blaster but my parts bin gun continues to evolve. No problems hitting 12” plate at 100 yards and a 24” gong at 300 yards.

I work in local law enforcement near a Ruger manufacturing plant; I get about 49% off of anything Ruger makes, and 30% off LE discount on anything else from a local LE contractor. I've been eyeing a Glock 42 and 43, and a Ruger American. Should I take advantage of this mega-discount before I leave for OCS? What do you recommend of the 3 being the most worthwhile investment? I'm biased towards Glocks, I am not new to firearms, but I primarily enjoy rifle shooting so pistols aren't the most fleshed out information-wise for me. Thanks guys!

42 and 43 are basically the same gun, just different caliber. Having both, I like the 43 better.. Being a Glock fan (42,43,17,19) I got my wife the 42 but she liked my buddies wife’s Sig P238 better. So of course, now I have both. I also like the Sig better for a .380 caliber. My 40 is a Sig too but I’m neutral between it and a Glock. 9mm hands down, my 19 is my favorite. I just read an article on the Sig 365 and I just might have to check and see if it lives up to the hoopla cause it sounds like the perfect compact.

White fences in the Florida sun are destroying this country! Maybe if you shot them just a little more they wouldn't be so uppity.

I know what you mean Chuck.. But come my range and leave it in ‘Fire’ even with a magazine out, chamber open and flagged and you will still get an ass chewing..

What do you enjoy shooting as far as handguns, that is the real questions? I would go to a range and shoot a few magazines through each gun of the caliber you are looking at, if it is a glock great for you considering the discount, if not it is better to pay more for a gun that you enjoy shooting than pay little for a gun you don't and won't shoot.

When I first started shooting most of the people I went to shoot with had glocks and thought they were great, but it turns out I don't shoot well with them, in fact I hate shooting glocks, I shoot the best with gov't model .45, M&P, and XD's
