Thanks for this great resource.

I found this recently, put it under a "research" category:

http://proofhouse.com

S ;c

What should we call a category with companies like:
Brownells
Midway
Natchez
etc. ?



Thanks for the training links. I hadn't thought to include those with 1911 links, but what the hey training is valuable and it couldn't hurt to include that as a seperate category.

I'll try to locate the links for those additional holster companies, FlaChef, thanks. ^c

Alumagrips is there right at the top of the grip list. Great product btw.

Great link and idea for a "Research" category, Scott. Was thinking that some historic and GI issue info would fit well too.

alumagrips, and I even checked the list twice.

sorry

Sorry is not allowed around here, buddy. If you see something else to add please chime in. ;?

The holster makers are up. Gemini is there, but I really need to alphabetize that category.

I'm going to put up the mega retailers next, but I'm not sure what to call that category.

It's stuck!;) ;f

How about ONLINE RESOURCES

Mega Retailers - has a nice ring :)

Updated to include two new manufacturers and the category of gun auctions and bulletin boards.

Suggest adding Yost-Bonitz under the SIGHTS section, particularly for their nicely done Retro.
:)

Done, thanks WIG! ;?

Lights:
http://www.digilightusa.com/LE

sights:
crimson trace

Training:
Options for Personal Safety
Blackwater

Thanks FlaChef!

I posted up links for Crimson Trace and Blackwater. Does Digilight make a weapon mounted light? I might be missing it. Can't find a link for Options for Personal Safety.

How about www.reddiamondonline.com

Holsters, flashlights etc.

Thanks PrincipalGlock!

They're a good outfit. I added them under the category of MEGA RETAILERS because they have so many product lines to offer.

that's because i misremmebered the name, it security not safety...

Most of digilights smaller line are designed w/ pistol use in mind, they have several mounting brackets fit for their lights (sold seperately). A couple of the larger ones are also rated for shotgun use. I know a guy from steyrclub who works for them and they sponsor his IDPA and 3-gun habit.
