Another strong recommendation for CZ pistols, specifically, consider the P01. I own and shoot pistols from Glock, Sig, FN, S&W, Springfield and CZ. I also owned and sold a Ruger SR9. The CZ pistols are, for me, by far the best combination of shootability, performance and price. My favorite is...

I got them from a local pawn shop in Colorado and saw them online at opticsplanet.com

I found three near-new Underwater Kinetics model 518 cases, complete with foam linings, at a local pawn shop today. I got them all for $48.00 plus tax. I am not usually very lucky at finding deals so I just had to brag a little about this. They are an older model but are still available...

I found an ammo box at a local surplus place that is about the same size as a jerry can which gave me this idea idea. I attached a small piece of angled steel to the top of the box and a small flat plate to the bottom of the box and coated it with a can of spray on bed liner. The box fits...

There are only a few brands of roller skis available in the US and they are all pretty good. One particular piece of advice though, is to avoid any model with wide, soft wheels. These are used primarily for practice with classical technique; althougth, V2 does and Proski did make some skate...

Maybe this one: http://www.rei.com/product/802251 Event material has a good reputation for breath ability and water resistance.
