I think it looks good. I'm still having a difficult time coming to terms with a modern scope on an old rifle, especially one that sits so far down the barrel. Nice job.

WOOOHA! That feller there was as country as country gets. Thanks for sharing.

Mine will be the Dan Wesson Commander Bobtail 10mm. Sooner or later.

Well, I tried to lighten up the mood with my Santa comment. The mood eased up a bit, but quickly took a turn for the worst after I went to bed. Again....Merry Christmas to all

WOW! Someone must have been a good little girl to be getting a gift like that.

Hero Gear?

Yea, I was in Hero Gear a few days ago, and one of the salesmen (?) was telling me that they had to cut to stock sights off his XD by basically slicing them in half, longways. Yea, what a PITA that would be.

Welcome back, but we are now on the subject of Santa. Please don't de-rail our thread.

I finished all mine a couple hours ago. My daughter decided she could find a few minutes in her busy vacation schedule to come home for Christmas morning gift openeing, then it's back out the door to visit more family. Heck, I guess I could use the break.

So, is everyone ready for Santa?

I've been coon hunting a total of 1 time, and that was several years ago in Overton County (Livingston). I went with my girlfriends brother and some of his friends. I did more observing than anything, and even that was a blast. I esspecially liked the cool miners-type flashlight I got to wear on my head.

If you can't/won't say something to a mans face, you probably shouldn't be saying it in a public forum over the internet. If portraying yourself as someone who's in the military is an offensive act, I think it's safe to say that it's equally offensive to accuse a member of the military of being dishonest about his service to our country. I have no clue if FNandGlock was/is in the military, but calling him a liar based on little more than a hunch is slightly disrespectful. And yes, it would be equally disrespectful if he were to be lying about his military service. I sure hope that's not the case. Either way, this has turned into nothing more than a pissing match between a Benefactor and a Moderator/Benefactor. Surely we can represent this wonderful site in a more positive manner. Merry Christmas To All

Good luck. Not that you'll need it. It's a real cake walk. The most difficult part will be simply staying awake. Keep us posted.

Thank you very much. Best wishes to you and yours!

This thread really brings out the Christmas spirit.

Yea, the MDE is not my type of gun, but for some strange reason he fell in love with it. He really wants something small enough to fit easily into his pocket. To me, it's a little pricey for such a little gun. And that's wherever you buy it.

Had a real easy day at work. Now I'm ready to enjoy 5 days off. I've really been dreaming about the Dan Wesson CBOB 10mm. I want it. Bad!

Because I received a message regarding my OP, I just wanted to clarify that I was NOT "bashing" GFA on their pricing of the Micro Desert Eagle. It's their store, and they're more than welcome (not that they need my permission) to charge whatever they want. As I've stated in another thread pertaining to GFA, they were some of the nicest guys I've ever met it a gun store. They couldn't have been more helpful to me and/or my friend. I've been in their store on two seperate occasions, and was more than pleased with the way I was treated. And just to be extra fair, out of the few places I've checked, GFA has been the cheapest on the Dan Wesson CBOB 10mm I've been looking at. I'm not sure any of this post was really necessary, but I didn't want it to come across as if I was "bashing" any vendor for their prices. I was more or less looking for any helpful information about the Micro Desert Eagle.

As much as I hate to bring up the name...Voldemort?

Yea, I really want to take a look at the final product. Based on some of the pictures, they seem to be a little thicker/taller than I'd like, but maybe they've shaved a little off for final production. I do like the idea, though.

Thanks, Joe! He will be coming to see you soon. He has a couple wheel guns (no clue what they are) that he's looking to trade/sell/swap. Thanks again.

Does anyone have any experience with this little .380? Heard anything about it? A friend of mine and I were in Guns For America today, and he fell in love with this ugly little thing. [EDITED]He decided to wait and stew over the thought of carrying a semi-auto. He's always been a wheel gun kinda guy. Technical Specifications: Model: Micro Desert Eagle Pistol Caliber: .380 Auto (9 mm Browning) Length: 4.52″ / 116 mm Height: 3.71″ / 95 mm Width: 0.90″ / 23 mm Length of the Barrel: 2.22″ / 57 mm Weight Empty: 14 oz / 400 grams Magazine Capacity: 6-Rounds Trigger Mechanism: DAO Safety: DAO Sights: Fixed/Non-Adjustable MSRP $535.00

Very nice. My Father has one, but IIRC, the grips on his are a lighter shade and they say Colt on them. Not sure of the difference. Same box and all.

Honestly, I'd like to think I'm worth what I get paid. Can they find someone who's willing to do my job for less, I'm sure. This is especially true during these tough times. That's going to be a major issue when these folks who've recently been layed off try to find another job. Most of these companies know that most people applying for jobs are likely to be quite desperate, and any money is better than no money. They know they can offer lesser pay and many people are going to be willing to take the job, even if they will be making far less than before. When I found my local truck driving job about 6 years ago, these jobs were everywhere. I'm lucky enough to have one of the highest paying (non-union) local trucking jobs in the Nashville area, but these jobs are not nearly as easy to find these days. If I lost my job, I'm fairly confident that I'd be forced to take a substantial pay cut. And that's assuming I could find one at all. As far as the union workers go, their gravy train is about to run out of track. The bailout is only a very small band-aid on a very large problem. The Ford Glass Plant off Briley Pkwy. is a perfect example as to what's likely to happen with the rest of that UAW. That plant was hanging on by a thread for a very long time, and no matter what they tried to do, they couldn't prevent the inevitable. I have two very close friends who've worked over there for years, and now they are in serious financial troubles. They were making roughly $100K/year, and now they'll be lucky to find a $10/hr job. Both of them barely finished high school, and always had this crazy notion that this $100K/year job that they just so happened to stumble upon would be there forever. On top of that, they also thought that even if it didn't last, they could find another one just like it. I feel bad for them and anyone else like them. Unfortunately, they didn't listen to Dave Ramsey, because like all too many folks these days, they were up to their eyeballs in debt. Before it's all over, they will have lost everything they own. Reality bites, especially for those who refuse to see the writing on the wall.

Just missing my rugbrat and being lazy. She will be gone for the entire Christmas break, so I guess I better get used to it.
