Viridian C5L

Well...I went and did it.  I mentioned in another post about wanting a Viridian C5L before getting an Inforce APL.  Well, after a little searching online I found out there was a guy right around the corner from me wishing to sell his unit since he rarely shoots anymore.  The offered price was very generous considering the retail is upwards of $300 so I hurried to an ATM and went to see it for myself.  After mounting it up, I'm extremely happy with it.

Blackhawk! Serpa Holsters

I have seen a growing wave of very serious hatred elsewhere on the net regarding the Blackhawk! Serpa line of holsters, the latest via Say Uncle (here) where an instructor says no more Serpa's in class (unless modded/ruined).  I am military, and have been issued several of the CQC Concealment variant.  I've even bought one for my own Glock.  I have utilized it chest-mounted overseas while sitting in a turret, thigh strapped (I dislike this method), and most preferred, mounted on an extension to my battle belt so it rides below my armor.  I have trained extensively with this holster system, and so have my brothers-in-arms.  I have never witnessed a single incident in our thousands of rounds, and hundreds of hours of training.  I'm not saying it hasn't happened elsewhere because it most certainly has.  Let me dive into my take on this matter...

My current weapons

You might think that being a Armorer and weapons enthusiast that I would likely have a small arsenal at my disposal.  Not true.  I am working to get together a wider set of weapons for fun and defensive purposes.  Mostly for fun.  I enjoy my time on the range and it does wonders to relieve stress.  Also my range time outside of the military is what makes me a consistently better shot than many of my peers.  I'd like to have a little something for every situation eventually.   What I do have at present sometimes seems to shock people.
