Can you post a image, thanks

I have not seen that model in the coyote brown from the factory. I saw the regular MOS version in coyote brown and thought, I wish they had the Aimpoint COAs on the market again but with the special coyote coloring.

I recently purchased the Daniel Defense 5.56 LE Duck Camo and it had the Vortex AMG-UH-1 mounted. I am sure it is a fantastic item, but my site is showing my age, HA!. I was at the shop today, and purchased the Sig Sauer Tango-MSR. A better fit for me, and have always like Sig products anyway.

A lot of the lower end Sig optics are Chinese made so comparable to any other low end brand. I will say however that their customer service is awesome. I had an sig red dot lose zero badly and one phone call and they mailed out an upgraded version from tualatin OR. I asked for smaller dot and he obliged and also sent the upgraded version of it. Pretty impressive I thought.

I absolutely agree, they have one of the best customer service departments in the industry. I just figured it was a good price for this gun, since it was not too expensive compared to my long range rifles. It was finally nice to spend under 1K for an item HA!

Any input on this hollow-point?
What about the Norma speed bullet?
Thanks Orange Guy...

I don't know anything about those. Here are the ones I trust for SD: (1) g9 external hollow point (2) HST 124 or 147 grain, (3) Speer gold dot, (4) Critical duty and critical defense. Also never buy low recoil versions.

R.e. Norma NXD, here's some gel testing on it (skip to 2:00 in):

TLDW: it relies on fluid dynamics (Venturi effect) to transfer energy into the target instead of expansion. Benefits are reduced recoil impulse due to lighter bullet weight, improved cycling due to bullet shape, and more consistent penetration than a hollowpoint. Drawbacks are not as impressive a wound channel and the bullet is half the weight of other 9mm ammo.

I'll try a couple of boxes.....
Thanks.

Not good when your local shop sends you, "Hey Look, The Shot Show Items Are Arriving", HA!

Had to go and see it, and then well, it made it home.

Tanfoglio Limited Master Xtreme, very very nice pistol. Unbelievable trigger, looking forward to shooting tomorrow.

For those like me (extremely new to the sport), and need a little guidance, definitately you local shop, and I hope you have one as good as I have here, but I have been watching the "Collector" on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@TheCollectorOfFirepower). Absolutely a great collection, but really great videos to watch. Just be careful, it is a slippery slope and before you know it, your gun safe is filling up with his collection.

Gun safe, singular?

Just wait my friend. Soon it shall be gun safes. Plural...

God willing, and the creek don't rise.

Wait until you buy a second safe because the first is now full.

Hello,
It is so funny you posted that, I am right now looking to purchase the second safe. The original is packed. I am also looking to make a vault secure room light the Collector. I think that would be cool and absolutely fun.

Ya im worried of floor collapse at this point with all the safes lined up

My safes are on a cement floor. It started life as a two car garage that I converted into a family room - 20'x22'x10'. The garage was built so that you could get one car in at a time and have to back it out down the driveway 100 feet to turn it around. They weren't thinking when they built the house. Not enough room to turn the car around.

If I had to move, I would have to reinforce the floor before adding the safes.

And just for grins, one of those full-auto electric BB guns.

Like most things a safe is limited by its space. You can do anything you want inside it, but you cannot make it any bigger! Buy more space than you expect to need.
Never heard anyone on here complain about having too much extra space.

Always thought I'd grab the Scorpion 3+ if I ever saw it in person. Nearly impulse purchased the Evo S2 when I saw it in a Bi-Mart of all places, but got ahold of myself.
