A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a very attractive woman waving at him.             She says, 'Hello.'             He's rather taken aback because he can't place where he knows her from. So he asks, 'Do you know me?'             To which she replies, 'I think you're the father of one of my kids.'             Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife.             So he asks, 'Are you the stripper from the bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table, with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?'             She looks into his eyes and says calmly, 'No, I'm your son's teacher.'

Guys, this will be the first, last, and only warning for trolling. If you have a problem with someone, man up and talk to that person face to face, not anonymously on an Internet forum. Or for that matter, not out in the open on THIS Internet forum. TGO will NOT be the conduit for you to attempt to trash someone who hurt your feelings. If you require counseling, I can recommend a good therapist.

I have never been a big fan of the Redhawk. I always preferred the slimmer frame of a Blackhawk. This new Redhawk looks interesting. I kinda dig the funky shape of it and like the smaller grip. Looks like it will ship with three moon clips so it can shoot 45LC or 45acp.

Why are they running around with their fingers on the trigger?

Having your vehicles serviced at Walmart is roughly akin to expecting to get a gourmet meal through the McDonald's drive-through window ...

So tonight my nephew tested for his yellow belt (second belt) in Taekwondo and Hapkido. The man who test him was the same man who tested me, my dad. I thought it was pretty cool that we now have 3 Generations of Martial Artist in the family. My dad is a 6th Degree blackbelt in Taekwondo, Hapkido and Judo, My oldest sister and myself are both 1st degree black belts in all 3 arts, and now her son and my nephew has started on the same path. Here are some pictures from tonight's test. The test included judo, even though the judo belt ranks take much more time to achieve, the school has always taught all 3 together and not made separate time or classes for each.

For the hipster, it's just another way to be fashionable and see who can spend the most money on the current trend. Not that the guys at zero tolerance or benchmade or other high end makers will complain. Sales are sales.

Do ya really think Beretta will stay when they find out the State is requiring them to stamp "Go Big Orange!!" on all their guns? :bow:

Worst.  Excuse.  Ever.    Either their firearms safety training program is substandard, their officers adherence to firearms safety is substandard, or some combination of both. 

Well, my patients can't talk, but I did have a scratch on my cornea once.  It felt like sand or a hair was in my eye constantly (like I wanted to rub and flush my eyes, but it had no effect).   When animals have corneal ulcers they will have similar symptoms--spasms of eye, excessive tearing, redness, and sometimes a constricted pupil.   I would go to an ophthalmologist.  An optometrist is more focused on correcting visual deficits with lenses.  An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who then specialized in diseases of the eye.  Their education overlaps, but the ophthalmologist will have more training and experiences with eye diseases.

I guess if I had to choose my 2 I hate most it is a toss up between the Lawyers and the Pharmaceutical companies pushing their pills that will treat 1 issue and give you at least 5 other bad issues to get rid of one. Gotta love those with 25 Plus bad side effects to get rid of an ingrown toenail...................... :shrug: :shrug:  

No sympathy whatsoever for a company that can't exist without a firm bite on the .gov teet. 

Tough love? keep screwing around with your eyes, they will give you a free dog! Seriously, go to an Opthamologist, our opinions are worth exactly what you pay for them.

All I have to say about this is I wish they would have stayed with Beretta's because the new plant here is under construction and I want them to be successful here..............jmho

Colt messed up big time by basically ignoring the civilian market while their pockets were being filled with uncle sams moola...Now that uncle sam dropped them as their small arms supplier in favor of Remington, they were left with nowhere to peddle their wares with an already booming civilian market...

I'm not allowed in local Arby's since my last visit when I refused to leave the store until they made me a sandwich that looked like the one in the TV commercials. The manager finally made me one with all the meat they showed on TV and served it to me in a bag with fries and politely told me not to come back so I have not been back. They advertise that they have the meat so I wanted the meat.......... :rant: :rant: :rant:

Those two dufus guys for Sonic just make me sick. Talk about insulting your intelligence...they are some of the worst.

Transitional training from the 92 or 5906 to an M&P in the hands of a 10-20 year veteran is a major shift in direction. All of the potential bad habits of staging a DA trigger while on a target become a ND  in the making with the M&P. E1 has the right of it, this is a transitional training issue that's only going to be solved by repetitive training. He's also right in questioning the type of holsters being used. I'm not going to point a finger at "finger on the trigger" because of sloppy gun handling.  

It's sickens me that we have so many pieces of low life scum running around our wonderful country. No one should have to worry about harm coming their way here! Swift and severe punishment should be the norm instead of freakshow liberal bleeding heart liberal policies that give scumbags the lack of concern for being low life's! Right on for the good guy and for the justice served!

Good Mojo sent your way. I hope Bogey takes a turn for the better, we know how you feel.

Fun Fact:  Restasis for the treatment of KCS was first invented and patented as a medicine for dogs for the treatment of KCS (by a Georgia veterinarian, no less).  I was using topical cyclosporin for KCS in dogs for a long time before the human version was approved.  Most medicines shared between the species start on the human side and then are adopted for animals.   Probably costs a lot more for humans, though.

  Like all the North East states, even the conservatives are liberals. It's just that there is a severe lack of something, training or intelligence to have that many ND's in one group.

I know i'm just an armchair civilian but, would it be out of line for me to suggest that the LAPD might want to make some changes to their firearms training? Just saying. It is California, one problem could be liberals handling firearms peroid, that even sounds dangerous by itself.  :eek:

I find it difficult to find any sympathy as well.  I do hate to see another iconic American name bought up by foreign investors but Colt is just that, a name.  Their relevance passed many years ago.

  Well, since it's called a Redhawk and in the Redhawk family it's probably Redhawk size.

Reminds me of the gp100 champion. I got the email notification from Ruger as well. I would assume it is built like a tank. I'll still stick with the gp100, sp101, lcrx and the blackhawk's. At least for now ;)

Maybe S&W will buy the rights to the Python and Anaconda?

And why the hell isn't he wearing a belt? What the hell kind of man tucks his shirt in and doesn't wear a belt? WTF?!

Bring back the python and anaconda. If its done right bet their sales rocket. 

  It's always easier to use your own insurance, and have them file back against the other party. Sure it may tie up your deductible for a few months but its worth it not dealing with the heart burn.

I'm in on this one bud. I'll take the usual #16 with a stonewashed blade. Thanks!

  Seven ND's out of that many officers is pretty close to perfect already.

Hmmm. I hate to date myself, but my parents were having this same conversation when we got our first TV set back in 1951 - 64 years ago!!

training aside, it would seem that a tiny # of officers have gotten in the habit of resting their fingers on the trigger with the understanding that the excessive trigger pull won't go off without more force being applied.  This is not working out well for a usable trigger that goes bang when a small amount of force is applied.   I suspect this has nothing to do with training and a lot to do with a small # of people doing it their own way and getting schooled on their mistake.

This reminds me of the NYPD and the KAHR K9...lighter/different trigger than the duty weapon coupled with limited training. The gun is at fault because your finger was on the trigger. In a mega department with tens of thousands of officers, how in the world can they get adequate training unless it is off duty?

Does their training not include keeping the booger hooks off the bang switch, regardless of what type of pistol?

    While salt does indeed absorb moisture, those drops should have the same salinity as tears.  They'll work fine to lubricate your eyes.  It a 12oz bottle of the "natural tears" stuff for the same price as the 0.5 oz bottle.   Yes, go see an ophthalmologist.  Talk to this person in depth, tell them everything.  The more they know, they better they can diagnose.    Do you wear sunglasses?  Your eyes might be sunburned. 

I'm betting most everyone on here shoots way more than police officers. They really don't shoot that much. On another note, when I shoot any of my varied guns, the guns only go off when I expect them too.

The original story has me flashing back to the early 90's when a guy decided to clean his ears with one of those wooden shaft qtips & it broke off in his ear. The look of sheer terror on his face as he said help holding up the broken stick, someone fished it out with some forceps, no harm done but it cracked me up thinking about it.

That depends on the department involved. When my outfit transitioned from revolvers to auto pistols, the transition course was 1,260 rounds, fired in two range days. Having experienced California's emphasis on peace officer training standards as a police trainer out there, I would guess that the state's Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training would probably insist on a minimum of at least a 300 - 400 round course for officers already qualified on auto pistols when they transition to the new pistol, and the ammo requirement for monthly practice courses would probably be increased quite a bit for six months or so. Like I said that's an educated guess, and each department would be allowed to fire as much above and beyond the minimum as they wanted or could afford. They take firearms training out there very seriously - my department had a 2,000 round training standard for cadets in training twenty years ago, just to give you some idea, while Tennessee had a 600 round requirement at that time. They get in lots of shootings out there and do indeed take it seriously. Very seriously. Hope this helps answer your question.

Inquiring minds want to know When will danny have another sexscene!

I have to weigh in with EssOne and TNWNGR on this one.  Going from DA/SA to striker after many years is a big change.  LEO's spend a lot more time with their guns than the rest of us, making vigilance all the time more difficult with that natural tendency to gain a comfort level.

Sounds like safety is not a priority in their training!!!   :2cents:

If you had something simple like a corneal scratch, then I would assume any urgent care place should be able to do a fluorescein dye test.  It is relatively simple to do and interpret in animals, so I would think one of those urgent care docs should be able to muddle through it.     (Human doctors are just like veterinarians who specialize in only one species. :rofl: )

Get to an eye dr., the pain in your eye is a warning sign. Do not ignor this, you only have 2 eyes and as of yet can't get replacements.

60 are better but not by much, unless you shoot FA there's really no reason to go over 30

Crossfire thanks for the reminder, this is a day that I generally don't forget. Another few dates that most don't celebrate is June 5th, 1944 this is when the Allies entered Rome, also the Brits dumped 5,000 tons of bombs from 1,000 bombers on Normandy coast. And the one that really counts is May 8, 1945 which is VE day, victory in Europe. Thanks to all the vets and their families who paid prices we cannot comprehend for our freedoms.

Great info! Know where can I can order some food stamps or other government assistance? I like this getting stuff for free ... I might be hooked. Hillary 2016!! Hahaha. Jk
