  1. I'll just wait for the Pistol version.
  2. $25 for first, $10 for each additional is what I've been paying to Dickson dealer.
  3. Welcome from west Williamson Co. and yes there is a LOT of info to be gleaned from this Site.
  4. The unsecured and exposed wallet is a tip to me that this guy has a completely different mindset on security. I never exposed the fact that I'm armed in public. And I don't tempt professional pick-pockets or 12 yr old kids that could probably lift that one pretty easy.
  5. I kinda appreciate my local Barber. 2 parking spaces outside and a room just big enough for one chair. $6
  6. I'm glad to see it's "allowed" to say a prayer at the Army/Navy Game. I'm not overly religious myself but I do see a correlation between the decline in religious ceremony and decline in morals. JMHO.
  7. Probably not much help, but some of the slickest internal mating parts I ever saw were in a Zastava CZ-99. Rivaled my Sigs. Just had that one example but it was finished nicely. And functioned with no issues.
  8. Any idea what the associated costs(admission, parking) would be?
  9. Glad to know I'm not the only one that avoids St. Louis and IL.
  10. Yeah, I have to admit I don't watch too much TV news any more. Maybe it's because I don't believe or agree with most of whats reported. Or give a crap!
  11. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/12/01...ntcmp=trending   Maybe I missed it but didn't see any national media reporting this.
  12. Your comment on "fly over country" strikes a chord with me. Maybe it's just my limited travel experience but it seemed to me that the folks in the Midwest(KS, Neb. WY, etc.) display the most universal patriotism. I'm guessing there are less transplants in those states to "water down" the sentiment. Not that we don't have a fair amount of patriotism in this state, but there are a huge amount of people that have moved here in the last 20-30 years(me included). I like to say I wasn't born here, but I got here as quick as I could.
  13. I suspect most that see this movie will relate to your comments. 
  14. I agree 100% with the sentiment, but I can't always follow that sage advice.   And BK is the WORST when it comes to Management oversite. They just don't seem to give a dam.   I seldom visit them. There are usually many other options.
  15. Small world huh? And yet so complex and complicated.
  16. Agreed. Some of the most emotional scenes required no dialogue.
  17. I watched a movie called Taking Chance Tues. afternoon. Highly recommend for anyone that hasn't seen it. True story of a 20 yr old Marine returning to WY...........in a casket.  It should be require viewing for every politician in this country.

    .41 AE

    I was very pleased with the .41 AE cartridge both ballistically and from a reloading aspect. I could stuff a 215 gr SWC in a case and they cycled fine in a Tanfoglio. Very mild recoil and cheap to shoot once you had the cases. Never bought dies. 41 Mag sizer and belling. .40 S&W for seating and crimping as well as I remember.  I did eventually get tired of the potential mixing with .40s.
  19. Fair enough.  I as well hope to never pull the trigger on a fellow human. Happy shootin'.
  20. Never used the Glaser "Safety" slug but I thought it worked on a similar principle of multiple projectiles and energy dispersing in a torso. In fact, I didn't buy these Federals. They were thrown in to a whoppin' $5 deal I made. I generally create my own ammo. For the past 38 years. And I've had opportunity to test innumerable bullets and loads for "effectiveness". Obviously there are different opinions on what's "effective".   Now as to the "all situations the same" comment; if that's true, why do you need/have more than one Gun?
  21. Second question. Is that case mouth split on the other side?
  22. 2 phunny! If I thought you were serious, my question would be why start with an insufficient case(barely able to push a 165 gr projectile) when the .45 case design has worked for the last century?
  23. Well evidently I'm in the one man pup tent that says blood lose is NOT a fast enough way to kill a human. Shock and awe has been my experience with animals. Case in point. Uncle put 6 little bits of 22 lead in a groundhog from a 10/22. It was still moving for about 2 mins. About 40 mins later I squeezed off one round from a Browning BL-92 .44 Mag into a groundhog at greater distance. Dead before it hit the ground. Still had the clover in it's teeth. And I always held the notion that Humans are ridiculously easy to kill. But blood lose is not the quickest. Nor 2 holes. I believe there is a Dr. down in Florida that has done numerous studies of shooting victims. Seems he talked about the shock wave effect that can happen even if the heart is untouched. Heart muscles don't react favorably to massive shock waves. I really find this amusing that there is so vehement display of animosity towards such an insignificant product. Nobody's holding a gun to anybody's head to try these. I just said, "I've never seen a bullet do that before"!  Play with what you want, load what works for you, and I'll do the same.
  24. Well if I have a marauding Rhino coming thru the front door I'll probably reach for the .460(Weatherby) or .600 Goliath. But most of the threat posed in this neck of the woods is 2-legged. Therefore I WILL mix a couple of rounds Guard Dogs in a clip with a couple of Silvertips and Hydroshoks followed up by a couple of rounds of Ball for distance and PENETRATION! What the condemners  fail to take into consideration is that ALL situations are different. What works for my surroundings and my house will definitely  not work for everyone. I don't believe I ever suggested such. But I sure got a LOT of push-back that there's only one perfect choice for everybody.   
  25.   Answer: Full transfer of energy to the target. I've never hunted in Africa so I guess I'll shoot what best serves my purpose and you're welcome to do the same. And since it's question time; what does over-penetration get ya?
