[Anyone use Invictus Practical Holster Hanger?]

I've got one of the older ones so I'm not sure if it's the long or short. Using it on a 5.11 Thumbdrive with a techlock. It works great. No complaints at all.

[is a long barrel really necessary?]

I like to run shorter barrels on my rifles. My dedicated match rifle is a 16", but I've probably shot just as many matches with my 11.5" gun. I used it in the 3GN SE regional after the 16" turned into a bolt action on the first stage. No Issues at all hitting the 300 yd tagets with the 11.5" and an Aimoint Comp M-2. I shot BRM3G last year with a 14.5". The 11.5" really is my favorite out of all of them.

[Options for putting a sling on a Versa Max Tactical?]

Just one on the stock.

I've been meaning to see if one will fit on the forearm.

They will. Mine has one in the rubberized flat area.

[3nd Annual AR15.com Rockcastle Pro Am 3 Gun Championships]

This was my first Pro/AM. My wife and I had an awesome time all the way around. I'll definitely be back. Thanks to all the sponsors who made the match possible.

[Independence AR 5.56 x 45 Ammo]

I used it for the Pirates of the Carbine match in Texas a couple months ago. Plenty accurate out of an 11.5" Noveske barrel. It seemed like it was hitting steel targets way harder than what the other shooters in my squad were using even out of longer barrels. I had no ammo related malfunctions out of it at all. It's good stuff.

[Anyone seen any M&P Pro 9mm 5inch?]

There have been a few on gunbroker lately. Not sure on the 2nd gen but I did see one with the new textured grip inserts. I'm guessing that was a second gen.
