I was actually just talking to a good friend about his iPhone and explained that I had just seen some news that the Verizon iPhone launch doesn't look too far away. Nikki and my contract was up and we could either take $250 credit per person and get new phones on Sprint or jump to another carrier. We previously had the Samsung Instinct which I found to be way to buggy and slow, I didn't like the Instinct at all. Then I read some more news that said the Verizon iPhone is being pushed to late Q3 2010+ so I couldn't wait any longer or i'd risk smashing the Samsung Instinct to a billion pieces. We decided to pick up the HTC Hero Android (Sprint) and so far I love it! It has tons of features like full touchscreen, GPS, bluetooth, Wifi, fast PROC, 5MP camera and a TON of apps that I can download for free. I'm glad we made the impulse buy cause it's always fun to have more toys.

As you already know I purchased my first handgun back in march and have been having a lot of fun with it. Recently several of my friends have acquired rifles, so after shooting theirs I got the itch to make a purchase myself. The rifle of choice among my shooting buddies is the AR-15, but I really didn’t want to sink that kind of money into a rifle…not yet anyways. I wanted something cool that I could have a lot of fun plinking with. I decided to go with German Sport Gun’s GSG-5 MP5 clone which is a semi-automatic .22LR carbine that looks exactly like an H&K MP5. After I watched a review by Nutnfancy I went to the store right behind my house and made the purchase. We went out last weekend to test it out and I am very happy with my purchase. It is extremely accurate and sturdy, and a great value for the money.

I have already purchased an H&K replica collapsible stock, 30mm red dot Aimpoint replica scope & a tactical laser. Once I get all my new accessories I’m sure it will make it that much more fun! Below are pictures of the stock rifle with only the collapsible stock installed, as well as a picture of the scope and laser that I should be receiving soon.

A good friend and I purchased our first handguns. I have been thinking about getting a handgun for awhile to protect against zombies so when my friend said he was getting one, I couldn’t think of a better time. I went with the Springfield XD-9 Service model in a bi-tone finish (silver and black), and he went with a Springfield XDM-9 all black. We went out to his parent’s house to test our new guns and it was awesome. We both put about 150 rounds through our XD’s and we are very happy with our purchases. My friend’s uncle and dad came with us to give some pointers and they also brought along a bunch of other weapons for us to shoot, including a wonderful AR-15 with scope and a Tech-9. The AR-15 was absolutely incredible to shoot, almost no re-coil and super accurate. His dad and uncle are both avid shooters so I was very glad to go with someone who would make sure I didn’t shoot my eye out. View the full album here.
