Got out of stamp purgatory and topped off the MP5. It's complete with nothing else to add.... Finally

My son had all the 1911's out yesterday so I thought I would share a pic. Left to right; Springfield Loaded, Remington R1 (my son's), Taurus PT1911 Staiinless, PT1911AR (my son's) w/ custom coating by Mike at Law Enforcement Sales, Ruger SR1911 Commander Stainless (my son's).

Don't forget your towel . . . . .

Is this the part where I say "So long, and thanks for all the fish"?

Well why not? Everyone else seems to have. Come on...fess up...be honest. I'll start. Two times more than likely. Once many years ago I dated this very hot Ukranian girl...daughter of what probably was a mobster of some sort. He was nuts and his daughter was well...even more crazy. Second time I talked to a street vendor....turned out to be Russian and asked him where I could get one of those cool Russian flags that you see all the time on the news. I'm surprised I wasn't contacted by the FBI or Homeland....just sayin'.

I had posted awhile back about the Taurus PT-111 9mm I had bought. I have taken it to the range on several occasions and fired several hundred rounds through it. I have enjoyed it immensely. The trigger does have a rather long pull before firing (training gets one used to the pull) but it does have a short reset and follow-up shots are easy. Even one-handed shots are comfortable. I did replace the stock dual recoil spring assembly with an all stainless steel version from Lakeline, LLC. I am considering buying some tritium night sights from them to put on the gun. It has been a reliable pistol. So much so that I bought me a Alien Gear Super Cloak 3.0 iwb holster for it. It conceals really good with my new holster. I will say that wearing the gun next to the skin with an iwb can be slightly uncomfortable with the aggressive texturing on the grip. I have read a lot of great reviews (albeit a few negative ones) about this gun. I had been reluctant to consider Taurus pistols as a purchase due to the negative reviews I have read and heard about them. Their QC seems to have improved with the PT-111 Gen 2. If you are looking for a decent 9mm compact pistol which can hold 12+1 rounds then I highly suggest giving this gun a try. I paid roughly $280 for it at my local Bass Pro store. I have seen them on PSA for $209.

Don't tell CNN, MSNBC, and the Never-Trumpers....... But some of us have even been known to wear Russian watches! Vostok Amphibian 916 with IDF insert

Years ago I bought a used Vulcan 111F on Ebay for about $275 if my memory serves me right. I really didn't know what needed to be done to it to make it work out for a parts hardner and mostly a unit that could color case harden receivers & parts. I knew it could easily provide the 1500 degrees F that is the highest I would need but just what was its failing. Well I found out pretty quick that the thermostat is pretty bogus on a ceramic kiln. It needs constant monitoring and fiddling with the super imprecise thermostat regulator. At the time Vulcan wanted about $475 for a refit controller that could be a set it and leave it unit. So the project languished. Ebay comes to the rescue with a digital PID plug & play controller for kilns for the sum of $168 shipped. So I just finished heat treating a part I made and man this thing works slick now. Here is the Vulcan in stock form with the mickey mouse regulator knob Here is the new PID digital regulator unit Now I really didn't like having the 2 units as separatee entities so I gutted the PID box and installed the components onto the 111F's control box frame The digital controller monitors the temp precisely with a variable pulse width that slows the heating coils gradually so it doesn't over shoot the set temp value. Only down side is it only works the high temp I need in the Celsius scale so I had to print out some C to F tables. I like the fact that its the perfect size for gun parts and it should be just right to fit a receiver sized crucible for encasing single shot receivers like rolling blocks. Here you see a junk Rem 742 receiver in it. So far, so good!

I got an email back from Senator Ketron with the opinion of his legal department...

Don’t Panic.

Love the guide.

My son bought a PT92AR from a pawn shop a few years ago-upon getting it home and to the range we found a good size chip out of the area under the feed ramp-he called Taurus to see if this was a problem and they agreed to have him send it in on their dime. They found the pistol to be not fixable-although in all fairness the chip did not effect function. They replaced it with a brand new PT92 with the railed frame free of charge-which I still have and shoot.That was in 2010

I've been surrounded by a lot of Russians...., even had these serious looking fellows in black trench coats shadowing me. BUT...., I cannot recall ever meeting with the Russia Ambassador. However I did go to Moscow to brief the U.S. Ambassador to Russia.

Mine stays on the back of the console. It's mounted via a Blackhawk QD setup. This allows me to change the holster or if I park and leave my pistol I can remove the entire holster with the gun and pop it in the glovebox.

When you're wrong, you're wrong... I bought my first M&P back when Smith and Wesson introduced them in 2005. It was my M&P 40 and I still have it. I was shopping for a Glock 23 when the S&W rep who was visiting Guns & Leather handed me one and asked if I had considered their new plastic-fantastic. I left with not only it but also an M&P 40 compact, and soon after added an M&P 9 compact, an M&P 9 full size, an M&P 9 Julie Goloski edition for my wife, an M&P 45 Mid-Size, and an M&P Shield 9mm. To say that I have had my share of M&Ps is maybe a slight understatement and I definitely wouldn't consider myself a Johnny Come Lately to the ownership circle given the timeline. For at least 6-8 years, my M&P 40 was my every day carry but it was eventually replaced with a Glock 19 for reasons that most of us have probably given at one point or another. "For the sake of change" is probably the most honest answer I can give anyone, but I had an assortment of other reasons waiting in the wings if I was pressed on it. Besides, the Glock 19 is arguably a very reliable and functional gun. But so is my M&P 40. Fast forward to late 2016 and the new M&P M2.0 was announced by Smith and Wesson. I admit it. I yawned. I scoffed. I publicly stated that I saw little about it that would motivate me to go back to an M&P 9mm after having had a relatively bad experience with the full-size M&P 9 that I had owned before. I was wrong. Last weekend I had the chance to shoot one. It felt better in the hand thanks to the aggressive stippling that S&W has applied to the frame and palm swells. The beaver tail was gone and suddenly it was even closer in length to my Glock 19 than the previous offerings and it felt better riding inside of my TT Gunleather inside the waistband holster without the frame protrusion digging into my chiseled, well-muscled midsection. The frame was less "flexy" at the front of the slide thanks to the change in design that extended the metal skeleton all the way forward. The front cocking serrations weren't all that big of a deal, but they weren't ridiculously ineffective either. They didn't sway me either way, but they did add a bit of flair to the expanse of boring metal forward of the ejection slot. But the trigger. Damn them, the trigger was better than I anticipated. It was smooth and clean right up to an abrupt wall, then it broke crisply and without grit. The reset was firm, tactile and audible, and the reset travel was maybe 3/16 of an inch from the terminus to reset, measured at the bottom tip of the trigger itself. The reset still isn't as forceful as a Glock 19 with OEM connector and trigger return spring, but it is right on par with the feel of a reset from a Sig P320. It honestly feels better than any Apex'd M&P that I have owned or fired. So what does a guy do when he's as wrong about a firearm as I was? Yep.

One of my favorite books to. Just watched the movie again over Christmas, was as bad as I remembered. Here is another equally obscure reason for 42. In 1966, mathematician Paul Cooper theorized that the fastest, most efficient way to travel across continents would be to bore a straight hollow tube directly through the Earth, connecting a set of antipodes, remove the air from the tube and fall through. The first half of the journey consists of free-fall acceleration, while the second half consists of an exactly equal deceleration. The time for such a journey works out to be 42 minutes. Even if the tube does not pass through the exact center of the Earth, the time for a journey powered entirely by gravity (known as a gravity train) always works out to be 42 minutes, so long as the tube remains friction-free, as while the force of gravity would be lessened, the distance traveled is reduced at an equal rate.

The first time I read the complete book was about 81. We were on the way to the beach in my 76 VW camper Van and broke down somewhere around Maysville, NC. Somewhere I've got a pic of me sitting on the road leaning against the front bumper reading the guide and awaiting the wrecker.

picked up one as well, out of the box it outshoots the 5" M&P CORE (unless you are considering buying the one I have for sale, then it does not).

And be wary of Vogons reciting poetry . . . . Zooey was hot in the movie . . .

So are you saying that Jackie Robinson was pronice or sphenic ball player?

You have entirely too much free time on your hands

I missed that one while I was reading about how President Trump exempting the Keystone Pipeline from his "American steel only" requirement would let a Canadian company provide a huge chunk of the steel. And by Canadian company, I mean one that's a subsidiary of a very large Russian steel/mining company.

Forty-two is a pronic number and an abundant number; its prime factorization 2 · 3 · 7 makes it the second sphenic number and also the second of the form (2 · 3 · r). As with all sphenic numbers of this form, the aliquot sum is abundant by 12. 42 is also the second sphenic number to be bracketed by twin primes; 30 is also a pronic number and also rests between two primes. 42 has a 14-member aliquot sequence 42, 54, 66, 78, 90, 144, 259, 45, 33, 15, 9, 4, 3, 1, 0 and is itself part of the aliquot sequence commencing with the first sphenic number 30. Further, 42 is the 10th member of the 3-aliquot tree.

My personal favorite!

Well yes I did, he gave me this for keeping his girl company.

Im not sure with this controller since I only ran it to the 500F you see there to heat treat a barrel lock on a Mossberg Brownie that I made. It was only about maybe 8 minutes for the 500. Im going to guess about 20-30 minutes to level out at 1500 F. 500F on 4140 should be about 50 Rockwell and the Safire blue looks cool on my mix master Brownie.

I was wondering what happened to that. It was a blast when I took my then GF there for .22LR shooting. Guess it shows why we can't have nice things. @Johnny Rotten OK is good to go...but the downsides for me are the lack of administration. Basically the firing line reaches a consensus on when to call it cold and head downrange for checking long gun targets. Can be fast if it's just a few people, or excruciatingly long with a crowd. When I go to OK, I prefer to go on a weekday to avoid the crowd.

Ya'll remember Hillary's "RESET" button fiasco a few years back? I thought we were cool with the Russians.

A few ideas This is not permanent http://www.earthquakestore.com/holsters.php This one belts around the seat. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.gunauction.com/search/displayitem.cfm%3Fitemnum%3D4534030&ved=0ahUKEwi3n-ixl73SAhWBSyYKHdwkAWsQFggkMAI&usg=AFQjCNFLHco12dlwehtRk23UoeRF8yP5Qg&sig2=A-kr7UibyL7wkyL_jDwNfg These just clip into dash I think this one screws in. Most of these are more visible than in the console, but more accessible. And just for fun

Yeah, I said I wanted one, until the MSRP was seen. $2900... No thanks, you can get a custom, built from STI 2011 blanks, gun from Calhoun for that much money.

Met one named Smirnofff a few weeks ago. He decided to go to the hunting cabin with me. I think he's still there in the freezer.

Yes, and there is no explanation of why my record was changed The best guess was that it took until 2014 for the county to get the records for the year of my conviction computerized and that the 1st offender release was not with my records when they manually added them to the database. I had to prove all over again that I didn't have a felony conviction. It wasn't possible for them to say, "Oh, we made a mistake in 2014 and we'll fix it." I actually had to get a Superior Court judge to sign a totally new 1st offender release form. Basically I was told "All we can see is what we can see and we don't see a 1st offender release for you. We can't take your word for it, you need a judge to sign one".

Good lord. The whole thing sounds dicey to moi. Good luck there, Mr. Not Providing Security But Making Sure You're Armed So You Can Draw Down On Drunks and Meth Heads! - OS

I must be slipping in my old age. It took me entirely to long to get that. Well done sir.

My notifications are set properly, but are still not functioning since the change. It has probably saved me some bucks, but I've missed out on a thing or two too. I like to shop so that's the biggest problem I've had since the site change.

David, I just checked the again.... all turned on.

I'm guessing it's somewhere above 233. Not sure what the magic number is. I dont really consider myself a newcomer as I've been on here daily for a few years, I just don't throw my opinion out there that much I guess.
