B.A.G. Acquisition

B.A.G. day is really about associating two things:

• Grudgingly following the law and doing the paperwork and paying the taxes


• Exercising a right that too many in government (and those who love government power) grudgingly admit is protected

Since we finished out paperwork and payments weeks ago, I procured my B.A.G. acquisition just after that. The actual date, however, is as good a time as any to show off what I've scored:



(I'm no Oleg, and an iPhone isn't a real camera. Go see the professional stuff here.)

Smith and Wesson M&P 45C, no manual safety, with Viridian C5L. I'm hoping to replace my P14-45 as my regular carry piece, as, let's face it, that's a whole lot of steel.

The pistol and light are a great match up, and the ergonomics are nice, but it's a little short on holster options. Naturally, I don't want to be carrying this until I have a holster that will cover the trigger area. Viridian says they'll have some Kydex holsters for this pairing later this year.
