Boss was on a entry team and he wanted Colt Commandos with full auto but this little dept. doesn't have the funds for those or the Trijicon sight he had either! If money were no object we'd be ok. We might and I say that with a big gulp, might be able to float $600-1,000 total for 3 optics.

Take a look at the Vortex line of optics. The SPARC II is only around 200 each and is a great micro red dot and it carries a lifetime, no questions asked guarantee. I have one on one of my rifles and love it!

You can also look at Primary Arms. I have no experience with them but they get great reviews as one of the best budget options available.

Anybody here like Browning High Powers? Lately some Mark III models have been imported from Israel. They were police/military issue for many years. I would guess there can't be that many left in the supply pipeline. Conditions vary but I just got a pretty nice one for about $500 plus tax.

New production BHP's run about twice that. And since FN/Browning has gone full tilt into making polymer handguns now, I believe the day of the High Power is coming to an end soon.
