Mags are an issue. The newer more curved ones seem to have fixed the problem. My main issue is that ammo cost is such that the caliber and platform no longer have anything to offer when combined. It's like dropping a Cummings diesel in a Ferrari. It just doesn't make sense. Even 5.45 is getting to be null as well. If you want a cheaper alternative get a .22 conversion. If you want something with better power than 5.56 go with 6.8 or 6.5. If you just like x39 (I do) get an AK while you can.

Haslam is a good honest guy, but not exactly in line with my train of thought on things politically. I wouldn't support him and he is a family friend. Thompson.. absolutely. Ramsey and Wamp.... pretty sure I could go for either of them.

He won't go to Israel but will promise Jerusalem to the Arabs, Hillary attends the swearing in of Funes in El Salvador (communist rebel anti-American guerrilla leader) and talk about how much he and Obama have in common, support Iran, bow to Saudi Kings, apologize to every muslim he can find, and still there are those who will argue the sky is green.

I got a little bit of everything in a Millet DMS-1. They have received great reviews on the interweb. It can be used as a red dot/holo type scope or power up anywhere to x4 for any distance stuff you may need. They also are available for right at $200. That leaves room for a really nice ADM Recon or Larue mount of your choice.

That looks vaguely familiar:D You did a great job on it. The more I see those Ace stocks the more I like them. Especially on the 12. It just fits.

Now that would get ugly........unfortunately.

I'm with you on that. If they had interviewed any of the pastors I know, including myself, that worm would have turned.

"You know the Germans always make good stuff!"

Man those are ugly. Like B-movie sci-fi props.

I'd say that's manning up! Nice to see that around here sometimes.

why don't you bring some to a shoot and let us try one out! I'm sure there is an immigration/ATF loophole somewhere!

I really like the CRKT M-16 line (not the zytel handle ones though). Lost my good one in my motorcycle wreck. I just got a S&W for $10 off amazon and I really like it. Here are a few of the others I have and I'll post some of the ones my dad had custom made and he engraved later. the S&W CRKT: CRKT I don't have but want: Gerber:

Uh, you can hang up the Reds. Early season luck for them, but in the end it will be the Cubs!:D

Excellent videos. I haven't thought about Gun Control origins from that point of view, but it absolutely seems plausible.

I'm pretty sure you can run it on Carfax and it will tell you a simple yea or nay, but you have to pay to see the details of the flags.

So you are saying you ARE un-American? Seriously, relatively little is one Presidents fault (Carter/FDR the exception). All that is going on is the culmination of leftist movement over a period of years with the crowning of the uber liberal Obama, which is driving one of the final nails. He is the face of the movement that is in the shadows no longer in America. He is not the beggining and may not be the end, but he sure is trying to bring it! Haliburton was a Clinton company BTW. contracts were extended under Bush because there are only two companies that can do what they do and the other is French (enough said). There is also economic downturns roughly every 7-9 years (end of 2 terms?). The question is how quiclky we start the recvory or do we make it worse. Obama is making it much worse now and in the long run. Triple national debt in one month, growth of government, unsolvency of SS moved up several years, devaluation of currency and on and on. No he didn't start it, but taking the mole hill and making it a Mt. Everst is his responsibility. Also don't forget that under Bush the stock market hit record highs daily for nearly 3 years consecutivley and prosperity was at record levels. All that coming out of a recession and 911. Anyone with half a brain should have seen a correction coming that had to go down. Mitigating it is what we needed, eploiting it not si much. Like I've said, the numbers and time will show the reality that some refuse to see.

on the FNP9, CDNN had them for $429 when i got mine with 3 mags and the accessory kit. i don't know how current that is anymore.

I've had two XD9's and I loved them both. the difference would be the XD's are blocky and heavy feeling compared to the M&P. Triggers can be very good on both with minimal work and after market parts (sears, transfer bars mainly). The XD also has a higher bore axis which I don't care for. They are both great. Mainly it's prefernce. You can't go wrong either way. The FNP9 is also a great gun if you like DA/SA. I loved mine but just couldn't get used to the DA pull. That being said it was one of the best stock DA pulls I've ever felt. Negatives for me on the FNP was holster availability (still slim), magazine cost ($50), and the rather large mag base pad (although I'm told there is an easy cure for that).

Mainly trigger, size, available accessories, feel, customer support, resale value, and it's a better gun all around. The 250 was designed for PD as an easy and economical way to fit as many needs as possible. The compromise they had to make was in function. The 250 isn't bad, but all things being equal I think the 250 fits some large departments needs but not the vast majority of the general public.

The P250 is not akin to the 226 except they are made by the same company. It's not bad but is' just not a 226. I would highly recommend the M&P. I think in the long run he would enjoy it a lot more. Not to mention it is much easier to sale if he so desires something different down the road.

Wow! I didn't see that coming. Should be interesting.

I've got a Millet DMS-1 and love it. I can use it as a two eye open red dot or turn it up to x4 and use like a regular scope. I have heard nothing but good things about them. Run under $200. Millett 1-4x24 DMS Tactical 30mm Riflescope

I've seen your post. All I was saying is maybe you got mixed up in his mind and he mistook you with some of the jerks over there. I never saw anything negative from you.

I think you are an anomaly. I've had exceptional service both time I've dealt with Kevin. I will say on the XD forums he was getting a lot of grief over the wait times and some folks were making some uncalled statements about Kevin personally. He had did finally respond to some of those folks and cancelled their orders since all they did was bad mouth and complain him and his company. Maybe you got taken out of context with some of the jerks over there.

I'll be the silent "right" on this.
