to all. He is Risen!!!

I sat mine down in the field last night a turned around for a moment. When I turned back I was a bit worried for a moment. AR 10 308

Franklin Gun Shop is well know for their high, take it or leave it prices. Great place to look at guns but getting a fair deal can be a challenge. It can be done but it should be easier than it is.

I've never been brave enough. Nothing I would do could turn out that good, looks good.

I kinda get the feeling that some of you guys feel that if you had the need to use a shotgun as a home defense weapon it must be black and tactical. I on the other hand think the bad guy should have the opportunity of being taken down by a gun that is every bit as purdy as it is functional. Plus, if he is taken off to the hospital or jail I wouldn’t want him describing the gun he was looking at as “ugly”. That just wouldn’t be right for either of us.

No, I would guess they don’t sell a lot of them. I would need to see any $3K 1911 out shoot a standard ~$1K 1911 from any of the big boys. Don’t get me wrong I’m all about a gun looking good as well as being accurate. But most of them don’t look any better or even as good as a S&W, Kimber, Springfield, Etc. I’d rather have one quality 1911 and a couple of other guns, than one with someone’s name on the side of it that use to build custom guns. I think they did you a favor. You already have a Compact 1911 in 9MM. Now drop a grand in a quality full size .45 1911 and head to the range. I think you will be a happy guy, with an extra $2k in his pocket. But hey, I could be wrong.

He is risen indeed!

Placed an order for the Fiocchi, 124gr Blazer, and some 55gr Lake City / Hornady "match" SGAMMO had the deals yesterday. Thanks for all the help!

Hi power got it right. Buy her what she likes. The 43X is the superior firearm out of everything you listed.

Ok, I just have to comment. Don't be cheap! Buy her the 43X. She likes it. She will carry and use it. Hopefully, but try to get her to shoot one first. 1 PPQ...I love mine, but I personally feel it's to large. 2 LCP9...I feel that the first time she fires it will be the last. I've owned 2 of them. Harsh, loud, and the heaviest recoil of any small frame 9 I've owned. 3 43X...it's a Glock. Proven track record, at least on the name, and I have no doubt about this one. 4 G2c...Buy the 43x. See above #3. Yes I do own several Taurus guns, and I do like them. As the owner of all these, at one time or another, and a multiple Shield owner...I personally feel the 43X to be the best choice. I tried to pick my wife's. I didn't work. She likes the Smith 351PD in 22mag. I used it to replace a 416 in 22lr. Little more potent I think. She likes it. Light and easy for her to manipulate. Didn't like my auto-loader choices. I learned...the expensive way. But on the upside, I have a couple of small pistols I like. lol OK...my personal opinions...nothing more.

Having owned Browns and Baers, I’ll vote for Dan Wesson, to ME they are a better value. The Dan Wesson’s of late have been Fabulous!! I cannot speak for WC, but hear nothing but good, albeit expensive.

Buy her what SHE wants and buy it brand new.

Oh well, I always wanted to give rattle can a try...

Intermittent crank no start on a 4.0 Jeep... Crank shaft position sensor. I have been in the auto service industry my entire life, ASE Master certified with L1 for over a decade. Now, Obviously Internet diag is impossible, and I wont promise you that is the fix... But it is very much an educated guess.

A bad couple days that would test the faith of the most devoted for sure.

Yep. Sounds like a bad connection in the key switch.

Just when I thought a Ruger couldn't get any uglier...

while we may feel loyalty, I've never seen an insurance company reciprocate.

Have you shot it yet? Is there something you don’t like about it? Rather than mods, I’m the type of guy to recommend ammo and practice.
