That's a Frankford Arsenal lower with the castle emblem.

I have found what is IMHO the most comfortable and discreet IWB holster/gun combo. During the past few years I have tried numerous iwb bolsters including the C-Tac, M-Tac, Milt Sparks watch Six, and the Bianchi Pro 100. While all of these were relatively comfortable there was always something that made them less than ideal. With my newest acquisition I have no complaints. It's a Nick Mathews #1. I think the keys to it's comfort are the cant and the all leather construction. Having the belt loops on either side of the gun rather than on top of it help minimize printing. I can now wear just a t-shirt with no worries. I couldn't do that with the other holsters. My G26 (acquired in August) just disappears. Wait time was a very reasonable 4 weeks and Nick was great to deal with. Here's the link: www.nm-holsters.com

Did I ever mention that I have a thing for .22 trainers ?
Another two added to the herd this week.
My 2nd Walther Sportmodell V (the 1st came without a rear sight)
and a Mauser ES 340 B
Will add a Mauser Mod. 71 (Danzig 1876) and a Mod. 71/84 (Spandau 1888) later today.
Need the cam's batteries to charge first.

My newest IDPA and USPSA toy....Glock 34
Steve
Nice gun Steve_P.
Always room for another Production Division USPSA shooter.
The G34 is by far the best Glock... IMHO.
Don't waste time experimenting with holsters, get yourself a Blade-Tech and start with the best right from day one.

Very nice. I love 9MM 1911's.

I'll take some of my own pics later but I bought one of these preowned but unfired.

Purely in terms of build quality, it feels much better than the S&W 1911s I've handled and on par with a lower end Les Baer I've played with. I'm not a 1911 expert though.

I just picked this up. Excuse the quality of the pictures, I'll do better when I can get outside to do some in natural light.
All Bushmaster AR15 with A3/M4 upper, 20" target barrel, iron sights. MA compliant, of course. I plan on a few accessories, but I don't plan for it to become a Tacticool rifle.

Thanks Cuz,
I started with a G17. I bought the 34 to use as my main gun, so I will have the 17 as a backup in case I ever have problems.
I've been shooting USPSA and IDPA this season. My main holster is a TKW...works out really well for IDPA.
Next season I may go to a bladetech DOH with a C&R belt for production.

Don't know if I can call this a Sept acquisition, but I completed building it this month. My first AR ever, based on the 2008 lower NES buy. Original GI barrel, FSB, and stock set. Now all I have to do is find some ammo and try it out.
The actual build was really fun and very simple. If you haven't done it, you should try it.

Just bought this today.
It won’t be in my hands for a while but worth the wait.
I’ve been looking for this item to handle bears for a long time.
I spotted another black bear last night that caught the scent of one of my does that is about to go into labor.
I won’t be relying on it alone it will be a backup to my DSA Stainless steel FAL.
Just need to come up with some soft point ammo for the FAL, I have plenty of FMJ 308 but I’m told that the soft point is what I need to do max damage.

So what is it exactly? I really like the non-fluted cylinder.
