  1. Sure looks nice. Hat to hear about the rail, but shouldn't the smith have caught that or was it something he wouldn't know?
  2. South Korean democracy is NOT the same as the US. While they may be a democracy they, like a lot of small countries, are very socialist in their mind set. There is a reason why NK has been constantly invaded and fought over by China, Russia, and Japan.That being said thee are wrose places than S Korea. They are a very good country. Thanks to the fact we have kept them free.
  3. Had an interesting conversation with a lady I work with and thought I'd share. From my experience it is indicative of how most of the rest of the world thinks, why they don't understand us, and why they envy and despise us at the same time. This particular lady is from South Korea and has been here for 15 years. Although you would not know it from her very poor English. Our first discussion was on health care. She stated she didn't understand why the government didn't take care of everyone. She then went on to talk about how her in her country there are no jobs and everyone is very poor, but they have free health care! I responded with, so where do you want to live. She looked at me crazy and said here (US)! Our second topic went to guns. She said in her country no one but the police and military have guns and she thought it was crazy that "everyone" here has guns. I responded with, "that's why your country is constantly invaded and the US military has been there so long!" I said, "here if someone tries to invade us we would all fight back. What did the communist do when they took over? They took all your guns." She seemed to begin to understand but she responded she was just to afraid of guns. She went on to tell me of several repeated armed robberies a store she owns experienced. I said, "you need to get a gun to protect yourself. Bullies will bully you till you stand up to them." She responded with, "i just too fraid. I would rather just die than to have a gun! I too scared!" I continued our discussion a little more explaining the concept of personal liberty and the right to life, but her socialist mindset had conditioned her to think that living in fear was normal and some how more righteous. Although she is in her late forties it seemed like I was talking to an irrational kid at some points. I offered to take her shooting, but I doubt that will ever happen. This was all positive and lighthearted but it really saddened me to think of what happens when the concept of personal freedom and liberty are stripped from a persons mind. Folks this is what socialism does and why socialist like to use it. Their people are very easy to control.
  4. Get it and then get an EFK conversion barrel. The heavier slide will allow you to shoot the +p and +p+ loads without worrying about problems. According to Bill Laughridge of Cylinder and Slide that is the best way to go.
  5. I'm a HP fan, I've had 4. Think of it this way, it's what John Browning wanted the 1911 to be before the military stuck their noses in development! Get it and don't look back. They aren't very many around anymore. The only reason i don't have mine anymore is because they were just too nice to carry and I couldn't just sit them in a safe.
  6. I might add they did offer me the EOtech 512 for $359 as an alternative.
  7. Glad you posted that. i had no idea. I got mine back in '06 and had nothing but a good experience. Looks like things went down from there. They are the best sight idea I've ever seen though. Too bad.
  8. I tried Opticsale.com and they don't have them. Took my money for 4 days till I called them.
  9. I guess its because they were discontinued.
  10. I just looked for one and all I can find are ones running $400. For that I'm bumping up to the Eotech.
  11. I'd rather use something like the Sure Sight. I had them on an XD and they indeed worked very well. Looked odd, but they worked great and were surprisingly smaller than they appeared. Fit just about every holster made for the gun. SureSight and no, they are nothing like the other pyramid/triangle sights out there. different principles.
  12. As a History major I can attest that History (incorrectly so) is more often than not seen and taught through the perspective of the one telling/teaching it. There are some who try to look at it purely in it's context, but it is so easily to put it in the wrong context and so change the conclusions one draws from the facts. What they are doing in Texas is adding back time honored facts and contexts to what liberals had been stripping away for so long. The very basis of conservatism is that we honor historical contexts that have held true throughout different historical time periods. Thus validating principles and facts as opposed to "new" theories. We aren't opposed to new theories, but we are are slow and skeptical to change until there is proof of the need to do so. Liberals want to rewrite history to validate unproven theories, because that is the only way they can continue an illogical idea. So why would liberals do that? Human nature. The idea that we are gods and we can create, destroy, or manipulate what we haven't created in order to demonstrate our superiority. That we can change the very laws of nature and humanity because we are smarter than all who have come before us. Ironically every time they do this they prove themselves wrong. There's my late night historical, theological, and philosophical rant for the night.
  13. You'll probably have to wait till they get the warranty department in order with whatever company takes it over...... if any.
  14. Ah, the intellectually elite Dems!
  15. ".... and I'm not going to do the Ramen thing!" How beneath him. The thought process is so perverted I don't know where to start.
  16. So it turns out to be a setup, to show how exposed kids are to the very stuff we were appalled at. Cool!? 'Scarface' video features children - CNN.com
  17. You can get the H&R Pardner Pump which is an 870 clone made by the same company that owns Remington for under 200. Can't beat that IMO.
  18. There is nothing church, baptist, christian, or good about these people. They are a family who have self labeled themselves. They represent the opposite of what they call themselves. They would make good democrats :screwy:
  19. True, but the thing that raises my radar is that what he said, while borderline, is not necessarily extremist. As I and others have pointed out Hassan said far worse and in far more direct ways and nothing. A bullet tends to hit where it is pointed. When there are 37 known radical Islamic camps here in the US and the so called "Christian" group and guys like this get pinched.... it makes you wonder just where it the governments gun pointed.
  20. WOW! a 3 yr. old thread revival ..... and a Rabbi one at that.
  21. Why in the world would he have to pay their appeal fees when he won? Can't think of what it's called but isn't it the other way?
  22. I call BS. Everyone knows Silver Bear combloc ammo and a Hungarian surplus piece can NOT achieve that kind of accuracy.
  23. ???? A little early to be drinking. Isn't it?
  24. The police think so. Personally I would go for the 23. It has all the benefits of the full size 22 while being compact enough to be very easily concealed.
  25. Wow. Is it just me or does every new "investigation" of "right wing extremist" hint at the coming persecution by the socialist left? I may be getting my tinfoil in a wad, but it really seems like these things are picking up specifically against what HMS has laid out as the biggest domestic threat - right wing, Christian, military, Americans. Coincidences or ideology in practice? How come they couldn't have done this was Hassan, who had far more cause for concern?
