The flat trigger is just my preference. The safety is required because I'm a lefty. And the VZ grips I have found to be of universally excellent quality at a decent price. Load up with Wilson Combat 47D magazines and you're good to go.

Probably nothing other than range time and possibly being 'around the house' for zombie attacks. It came with an ambi-safety, but I'm not a lefty, so that doesn't matter. It's got 3 dot sights already. It's got what feels like fairly grippy grips, but I haven't shot it yet. I think they are plastic. I'll probably just keep them, but something like wood or G10 would be more appealing.

Thanks for the heads up on the magazines. I probably will pick up a couple.

Try Alien Gear for a good IWB holster at a reasonable price.

I've got an Alienware IWB. It was priced very right and is a decent holster. I don't like it as well as my Crossbreed Supertuck for a couple of minor reasons, but it's close enough that I haven't forked over the nearly $100 to upgrade. I've been thinking about it though.
