So, I did a thing last week.
And its something I said earlier in this thread that I probably wouldn't do.
But,because I shot it better and actually found one in the wild and because I think I got a kick ass price on the trade, I traded in my VP9 and graduated
to a full size 9mm usp.
So, now I'm trying to sell my extra vp9 mags that I just got recently.
7 of em to sell/trade.

2A Heaven. Should be listed as recommended places to visit on TripAdvisor
The ATF recommends the Mill to people that are looking for a place to set up shop (one of my best tenants came on a referral from the ATF). They also told me there's no place like it anywhere in the country, and it's not close. I'm going to write a book about the place when I retire.

So, I had an eventful day today.
It started with the mail coming in, and a couple things I wasn't expecting till tomorrow.
2 more mags for the usp.
Extended magazine release for the usp.
And cleaning and disassembly mats for the usp and cetme c308.
A good start.
Then I went to a local dealer and 4 seasons and bass pro at the end.
Ammo came from local and 4 seasons additional safe from bass pro.
And to finish it off, I got to check off a bucket list gun, that I've wanted since I was little and wanted to be Riggs. Along with a 22lr conversion kit. Added bonus, it already has the extended mag release and stainless steel recoil rod.
Houge grips are on order, so i can try em out.
Originally I was going to swing up to New hampshire again, but didn't need to due to the ammo finds.
The only downer of the day was when I got to mass firearms to go shoot and found out they closed at 6.
I guess I normally went on Thursdays when they are open till 10.

22 LR conversion kit was a wise choice. I also have that lock box its not bad for in the car loop the wire around your drivers side seat and you can carry an extra pistol in there not just in the glove compartment. Are the USP mags MASS capacity or standard?

Another cool day today.
Got to meet @Rocco Mozz and get pieces for the next project.
Also got to meet @413dan and trade my VP9 mags for some ammo for the next pistol i get.
Both super chill and cool dudes.
Thanks guys.
Also got a range day at mass firearms.
Started the range day by forgetting my keys for the lock.
Thankfully they had bolt cutters to fix that.
Also had magazine malfunctions for both the Berettas and one of the HK.
I think I fixed the Beretta, but im going to try and find a new spring and follower and the same for the HK.
but like a dumbass, I forgot to mark the HK mag.
And again, I think I did horrible.
I'm giving myself a little leeway since its the first time I fired both.

Well, I was hoping to have a better update than this today.
Ive been aquireing a few things over the past month or 2 for a build.
But today, I admitted defeat, because I'm pretty sure I f***ed it up 150%.
Pictures of my failure later. It has to do with the 80% lower.
But, here's my acquiring.
It Started with meeting @Rocco Mozz .
He was cool enough to give me a deal on an AR upper.
So I started ordering parts.
Here's that list:
Anderson lower( the my fault 150% f*** up)
Radical firearms upper
Aero precision enhanced buffer kit
Aero precision m4e1 lower parts kit
Pof usa ambitious qd endplate
Odin works extended mag release
Magpul bad lever
Fab defense ptk vts combo foregrip
Nikon red dot (carry over)
Utg qd mount
Utg 3x magnifier (I know, but the scope worked)
Amazon mlok picitinny rail
Warhunt usa aluminum trigger guard (amazon)
Mission first tactical stock
Tacticon armament iron sights
Midwest industries hand guard
On that same day, I meet up with @413dan and showed him the upper. Chatted for a bit about how its my first AR.
Then he was a wicked cool dude and sent me 3 pre ban mags. I upgraded the followers with magpul and I bought some magpul 10 rounders for range fudds.
The last piece was a flashlight for my usp. Streamlight tlr3
Also bonus, I am now a member at braintree range since they opened back up.
Bonus #2 , since this is my first year of ownership and I couldnt build up ammo, my brother bought 100 or so rounds of wolf 308 for me and 500 rounds of Winchester range 9mm for me. Which I have to pay him back for both. But still awesome since I don't have the money up front for that much 9mm.

So for the failure part.
Here's a thread I started
www.northeastshooters.com
The f*** up in my drilling because either I cant read directions, or they are shitty directions
Pretty sure that was too deep
And when I gave up
Said instructions attached in case anyone is curious
So yeah.....
Here's a thread I started
80% lower ar15 i think i screwed up
So I started drilling my 80% lower. I got to a part in the instructions where I got a little baffled. The circled holes, I drilled to 1.25, because the wording said the most screws to the left. Am I screwed? Did I ruin my lower? Or, do I now have to run a pre-assembled self contained trigger?

Well thanks to a member here, my lower was salvaged with his knowledge.
I'm ready for the flame war for my choice of painting (which came out horrible) , but its my gun so
I swear , its not the color represented, its darker in person.
One day it'll get cerakoted in a similar fashion

I had good luck with the other scope from UTG, so I figured I'd give it a whirl again

So this thread has been quiet for a bit.
It prompted me to do one last update for my first year in the 2A world.
So for the 92f I got some upgrades it already had the extended mag release and stainless steel rod. So I got essentially everything in the picture below.
I didn't replace the ss rod with the Wilson, thats for the next picture. Actually 90% of the items pictured are for the next picture.
So now I have twins, thanks to @beriky
But one is different from the other. Care to point out the obvious anyone?
It wasn't the Beretta's that only got attention either.
The USP got some love as well.
With a match trigger job and a cheap red dot that I'm still tinkering with.
Also, thanks to @beriky , I got to shoot another gun.
It is now on the list to purchase maybe next year. Full size HK45. Gun fit the hand perfectly and it didn't have a beast of a kick like I expected it too.
And for the last bit, for my bday in October, my brother got me a new edc item I have yet to work into the mix.
A VZ G10 "ghost"
" knife 
Overall, for my first year, I think I did rather well.
