I want to thank Michael for coming on the show and hanging out with us. I personally love modifying and personalizing my gear, so I’ve long been a fan of Agency Arms and the personalized touches he puts into his pistols. For me nothing is better than a functional work of art and Agency Arms certainly takes that concept to the next level.
