How do you like the laserguard? Any issues with finding a holster that will accept it?

Honestly, I consider it mostly a fun accessory. I probably wouldn't have bought it except the shop was selling gun and sight as a package, $100 cheaper than the total retail for both.
It's not a real precise sight because you can push firmly left or right on the nose of it and get it slightly out of alignment. I think that's to be expected, I mean precision isn't really the point anyway, right? If I ever actually point the thing at someone I would hope it acts to increase the deterence, like the sound of a 12ga racking. You know, fear the red dot! It's good enough for that.
Makes a good cat toy too, once the girlfriend has figured out you're not actually trying to shoot her cat (tempting as that may be). Protip: introduce her to the fact that your Laserguard makes a nice toy beforehand, don't let her first encounter with this concept be walking through the door to find you pointing your gun at Fluffy.
I already had a Blackhawk nylon hip holster, size 7, that I used to holster a Beretta 96D until I got a Serpa for that one - it fits nicely in it. Not my favorite holster, but this is mostly my glovebox weapon, so the holster is really just to protect my nice new Glock from scratches.

I just ordered one of these Primary Arms micro-dot sights:
For this, my shiny new Ruger 10/22 Take-down (a real, honest-to-gawd workhorse!):
The 2 25 round mags were extra...just ordered a couple more of those, too.
Plinking fun, plinking fun!
Gawd, I <3 this country

I have a 20 year old Ruger 10/22 that I added an Axiom adjustable stock, single point sling, and TruGlow green/red dot sight to. I have a few of the newer 25 round mags, a handful of the 10 round rotary mags.
Fun to shoot and nice to carry around the field when hunting small game (rabbit, grouse, and the occasional rodent nuisance).

Not, but it's ok. He fits inside the 9mm just perfectly.

I don't think you know what pedigree means, unless you are trying to imply that your Mini 14 was somehow a product of THAT weapon in the photo.
Aside from that, hmmm... picture of a guy, in a snow-covered forest, "hunting for a fugitive" (presumably an activity that took more than 5 min) without wearing a warm jacket or a hat...
Yeah, really smart guy... or a really staged photo. Whatever he is doing, everyone else should, also.

Well Lena the if the officer in the picture is like any of the others I know who work in cold climates probably wearing:
Meduim to thick base layer
Bullet proof vest
Fleece lined softshell jacket
Those three in combination are very, very warm. Heck the bullet proof vest is warm to the point of being hot, even in winter.
As for the hat I can't say I'd want to be out without one but he could have one but not wearing it in an attempt to regulate is core temp because he was moving around a lot. I mean it's not like he can take off outer layers while in the field. I know a lot of officers will stuff a wool cap into the breast pocket of their outer jacket when not in use.

It doesn't look like he is wearing a soft-shell top layer. More like regular uniform fabric. But fair enough. I guess the cold weather I am thinking of is not the California cold weather.
I picture officers dressed for winter looking more like this:

I don't think that English was your first language (it wasn't mine either.) However, here's a heads up: a "pedigree" doesn't always have to be biological. In a broader sense, it can mean the history of something.
I hope that helps.

Love the folding stock for its tacticool looks, but it just would not be very practical for anything other than CQC where a good cheek weld might not be so necessary.
