The only thing that I would wonder about is the joints normally when appling the SPF you get a monolithic connection except when your finished for the day, however a simple scar on the one joint and you are on the way to finish the deck, it just looked like to many tie ins to me, but I don't do SPF any more I'm still a hot BUR man and will probably never change lol , you were mention a variety of special weapons that you have had and or still do, My main weapons were a scoped M-14 and a side arm 1911, now with all of this thuggery going around in our area I have decide to purchase a product by Taurus Manufacturing it is a concealed carry 5 shot some times call ed the judge, this unit will fire 45 caliber or 410 shot gun shells, I'm not looking to kill any one just would like to bs up their legs and let them see what it is like to ride around in a wheel chair how here is ample 45 slugs to terminate if it was necessary I really like the weapon and it just might be what I'm looking for, with a quick draw non catch holster I was thinking of using a shoulder mount piece, I have seen this piece in action and it has left a lasting impression in my mind lol what left of it lol for ur pleasure www.taurususa.com
