Now, granted, the politics of the author are somewhat rightist or libertarianish and they show through in his writing, but the story is compelling enough that it's forgivable for the most part.

Sadly, I can't find anywhere they are currently legitimately available as e-books. I snapped them all up when eReader was selling them (back when it called itself Peanut Press) but the only stuff that comes up on Google right now is torrents.
Thanks for the recommendation. It sounds interesting to anyone who is familiar with weapons. I enjoy fiction from either side of the aisle (left or right) and it sounds like at least the writer at least has some factual knowledge of how pistol's work. So many hollywood "type" writers obviously don't know their subject matter, and glaring errors show up in their shootem- ups.
