Jerry Miculek on Glock vs M&P vs XD
Jerry Miculek compares the three most popular polymer frame guns. He goes over trigger pull, disassembly, mechanism,
There is a point where trigger pull is measured and Glock comes in around 8 lbs. This is not a shenanigan. Glock tends to have an internval for triger pull and 5.5 lbs is not exactly what it is in actual pull.

FBI moving to 9mm?
According to Pistol-Training.com there is
A formal proposal to remove all .40-cal guns from service and replace them with 9mm is sitting on the FBI Director’s desk and is expected to be approved.
A new ammo procurement would begin in 2015.
This would be an interesting revelation as .40 S&W was developed as a response to 1986 Miami shootout. FBI wanted better ballistics so 10mm was made, but after facing some problems, they went with .40 S&W. It influenced LE agencies across US.
There has been significant advances in ballistic science and now a 9mm JHP is vastly improved compared to those available in the 80s.
A few years ago there was the transition from SIGs to Glocks in .40S&W and now they are moving to 9mm, if the rumor is true.

Larry Vickers Glock sight
Larry Vickers has been working on his new Glock sight for sometime and he posted some photos and reasons behind his design.
LAV sees 4 issues with factory Glock sights
1) they are plastic so are easily marred
2) the rear sight notch is too narrow for the front sight so there is very little to no light on either side of the front site
3) the white u notch rear site draws your attention to the rear sight vs the front site
4) with a proper sight picture the bottom 25% of the white dot on the front site is cut off so many shooters subconsciously elevate the front site in order to see a complete dot- thus shooting high
The fact they are plastic is really the least of the problems with them ; they are simply poorly designed pistol sights - period
The LAV sight is a variant of the new Battlesight by Wilson Combat. LAV prefers U notch since shooter can get side-to-side reference and alignment on the front sight. He says it works better than a flat bottomed square notch as it picks up misalignment better.
Height is same as Heinies, Warrens, so it seems like it will be possible to use front sights of those products too. Rear sight will have a hole for tritium dot.
No word on when they will hit the market, but they are getting closer.

FNH FN15 confirmed?
Sportsmans Depot has a webpage supposedly for FNH FN15, the rumored FN AR carbine.
There has been some rumors flying around about FN's entry in to civilian market. Larry Vickers posted one of carbines he acquired from a former FN employee, and now this.
This is going to be interesting since FN has been making M4s for US military using TDP(Technical Data Package). One of conditions is that FN cannot use the knowledge gained from the TDP to go in to commercial market. There has been rumors of FN selling parts via a well-known online website, but nothing has been explicitly mentioned.
It would be interesting how this would turn out.
