Ok, the idea here is to post concise reviews on anything you feel may help someone on this forum. Anything you have had personal experience with is fair game.

Here are a couple to get things going:

S&W M&P 9mm pistol, fullsize: I have put probably 2500 rounds through mine and it runs extremely well, is very comfortable, and I recommend it highly. I bought mine without a magazine disconnect or child-safety, and I feel I made the right decision. I had some initial problems with the pistol, but S&W customer service was top-notch and in addition to fixing my pistol, they installed Novak Tritium sights for free.

Eotech 552: I like this optic a lot. It is noticeably sturdier than the civilian 51x series, and the NV button is convenient. It is much faster to acquire a target than the aimpoint is, but it is also a little clunkier, and you have to fiddle with it every now and again or it will turn itself off.

Eotech 510: I can't stand these. They are not built to take abuse. I recently watched 5 out of 12 of these crap out on us. Usually, the prism inside the sight would break loose and would rattle around. Don't get one of these.

Beretta 92 (m9): If you buy one of these and you intend to really shoot it, make sure you have a couple extra locking blocks on hand. Personally, I can't stand this weapon, though it seems to work well enough when it isn't broken.

HK USP Compact: Very good pistol, ultra reliable. But it is expensive and is built like a tank. If you are looking for an ultra reliable higher-capacity weapon that can be carried with the hammer back and the safety on then this may be a good choice.
