I'm pretty satisfied with buying this 5.11 belt srs. Went to the store and had my Shield IWB and it feels fine. Not uncomfortable at all. Also all of my holsters fit 1.5" belts.

Duratracs are 31x10.5x15
MTRs are 33x12.5x15

My new KO2s are pretty quiet but took more of my mpg with the rotational weight. Load range D 10 ply sidewall. Won't be getting any flats from the soybean stalks going through the sidewall though.

Really looking at these scopes for my mini
Not a huge magnification since the mini isn't known to be a tack driver and a 1000 yard gun, but it's something that'll be good for 100-200 yards out.
Either this or Tritium sights for my SR9c or Shield is next.

The Z8 only has like 60 minutes of total elevation in the scope, the X5 and the K624i have about 90. The X5 is actually a really nice scope, but Swarovski won't put a mil dot reticle in their scopes.Taken a kahles out yet?

Sword,
Many companies will sell their upper assembled instead of stripped, but you need to know whether it's got its internals or not. If you're buying in parts, you need:
-Stock
-Buffer Assembly (Receiver Extension, Buffer Spring, Buffer)
-Lower Receiver
-Lower Parts Kit (Most include a cheap pistol grip, trigger, and trigger guard, but there are kits that come without them, or that come with upgraded components)
-Upper Receiver
-Bolt Carrier Group
-Charging Handle
-Barrel
-Rail Assembly (Many new rails come with their own barrel nut. If you buy a rail that clamps on to a stock barrel nut/Dring then you'll need one of those)
-Gas Tube
-Gas Block/Front Sight Assembly
-Muzzle Device
Ballistic advantage makes decent barrels for building your own AR, andwww.monmouthreloading.comsells them with a 30% discount pretty often.
If you're building it from pieces, you'll need an armorer's wrench, a torque wrench (Advance Auto Parts will loan you one with a $30 deposit for free), a punch set, a nylon/rubber hammer, a vice block for your upper, a vice, needlenose pliers, a screwdriver, and painter's tape to save your finish. You might want to buy a cotter pin for installing the pivot pin detent.
There are lots of good videos out there. Watch a few complete assembly videos and learn what all the parts are before you get started.

Here's an interesting trick I've found that everyone might not know.
If you take somebody's phone number and put it into the search bar on ********, 90% of the time it will show you their profile. I guess everyone has their numbers linked to their account these days. Really works great when you're trying to sell something online and a random number texts you and you want to get a look at them before agreeing to meet.

I got:
-MOE Grip+
-Magpul CTR Stock
Going to cop that CMC trigger, one of the best I've played with. My friend is getting me a lower and I will buy an upper (pretty sure it comes with the sights on it). Do I need stuff like a Trigger Guard, Selector, or will the upper/lower come with that stuff too?

Then you'll have an extra lower, always a good thing.
