Things that go bang, or stabby stab. I've always been into guns. My dad was in the Army, my step dad was a country boy. I grew up in a small town, where hunting was a way of life. We leased 800 acres across from our house growing up. My first firearm was given to me by my uncle. Daisy 2202 Bolt Action .22 . By far one of my favorite most prized possessions. Most recently (after leaving the Army), I purchased a AR. Then I got into pistols. My first pistol, Walther PK380. Purchased so my wife could comfortably action the slide and fire, should she ever need to. After a couple years noticing my wife doesn't really like guns, I bought my first Glock. Being a smaller framed guy, I hated Glock. But then the 42/43 came out. Shortly after the 43x came out. I had to get one of those. It was honestly perfect for me. I got small hands (I wear x-small Mechanix gloves 
). Started with a few simple upgrades. Vickers flat shoe, HYVE mag release, S15 mag (15 round). A few months ago at the gun shop they had their Poly80 on clearance. Grabbed a 19, version to start building. A couple weeks later, I realized that the GlockStore had a 43 sized P80, so ordered one of those to build. About a month after, realized I could purchase one more Glock under the blue label program as a veteran, so back to my favorite store to purchase a 48. I'll throw some pics up, I'd love to hear everyones story!
Here's my EDC setup, I change the blade quite often. I'm a fan of the cheap Kershaw blades, this blade shown is no longer in rotation. Also pictured is my wifes car key, I didn't have the Taco during this time. Glock 43X, Shield S15 Mag, Desantis Slim-Tuk, cheap slim wallet, Kershaw Ember, Catalyst Apple Watch case (I have a charcoal version as well).
GS SS80, shown with my 48 slide (thus making a 43L). I have since finished this pistol. Vickers Mag release, Amend2 mag (OEM glock LPK from my 48) Eventually I'll upgrade all my 48 parts.
My intentions with the 48 is to send my frame to a friend for stipling work, then use that frame on my 43x, while it goes for the same treatment. I'll upload more pics of other stuff here shortly.
