I took a few minutes to read the Wikipedia page for A&F. It was very interesting.

Yea, but your build is way tacticooler than mine. I doubt you'll be much impressed with mine.

I think all ST lowers have the full-auto markings, but they are only markings. The switch will not actually rotate into the full-auto position.

Congrats. They look nice. I remember your initial post about the grips. I'm happy to hear the transaction went smoothly.

That's interesting. All this time I thought Abercrombie and Fitch was nothing more than a clothing company for the highfalutin.

OOOOooooooooooh, that trigger!:-\ Kimber should have known better than that. Congrats on the purchase.

I can't get myself to do that much. I do miss the food, though. I just can't seem find too much Chicago-style food around here.

Illinoise. There isn't too much about that state that I do like. I couldn't wait to get out of there 13 years ago, and I have little (if any) interest in going back.

Hey, you never know when this guy will jump out at ya while ridin' the Dragon.

I like the 7.0, but because I opted for the low-profile gas block, I was forced to go with the 9.0. It was a tradeoff, but worth it, IMHO.

The are two differences. Neither are all that spectacular, IMHO. Well, #2 is kinda nice. 1) Looks. The BDL is a little better looking. 2) The BDL has a hinged floor plate. With an ADL, if you want to remove the ammo, you'll need to work the bolt for each round. With the BDL, you simply work the bolt for the first round and remove the magazine.

That's starting off very nice, Tungy! Looks like we're in the same position. I'm still waiting for the mate to go along with my lower half. Congrats!

+1/2 I would have given that statement a full "+1", but the word "Glock" was mentioned. Substitute "Glock" for an XD and you'll get my approval.

In the near future, I will be getting my 9 year old daughter a Cricket .22. They are small and cheap. A friend of mine purchased one for his son, and several thousand rounds later, it's still going strong. As of now, she's very excited about shooting with me, but I'm not sure the enthusiasm will continue, so I'm going the cheap route.

OUCH! I'm not a Glock fan, but that's kinda sad. This is not something I want to attempt myself. That's why I'm looking for a professional.

If we had such a law here in Tennessee, Kwikyboy could easily be in serious trouble. I know I shouldn't mention that name, but strangely enough, he was the first person that popped into my head while reading that story.

I'm trying to find someone, locally, who can stipple like this. This is not a regular stipple job. I think it's called tree bark, but it may be called something else. I'm looking to have this done on an XD Service Model.

WoW! Maybe I should stay away from you. I guess things can only get better from here. $20 sounds more than fair. I don't need anything now, but I was wondering who would be a good person to contact when I do. The pictures above looked great.

I've never owned one, but I've shot many of the ultra-expensive 1911's. They are very nice to look at, and generally very nice to shoot--when they're not being a pain in the butt. The main pro and con to these type of 1911's, is the fact that they're built with ultra-tight tolerances. Having such tight tolerances makes for an amazingly smooth and accurate gun, but this can (and often has in my experiences) create real feeding (and other) issues. With the tolerances being as tight as they often are, this leaves almost no room for the slightest imperfections when it comes to the ammo itself. Everything has to be perfect. If I had the extra money to blow, I can't say I'd never own one, but I can promise you one thing, I'd never let my life depend on it. This is just my opinion based on my experiences, and I'm sure there are many who would disagree. Even the owners of the gun's I've shot think I'm crazy. They swear by them.

Class act guy right here! Thanks for the offer. Count me in.

Don't make me bust out the Kodak 5.0 Mega Pixel on dat a$$! You can't handle this 3X Optical Zoom.

Amen, Brother! Amen! I hate to even hear my daughter talking about a cute boy at school. I don't even want to think about it.
