These threads always end up this way! The morals of community and personal responsibility are not the same as an economic system. Though it should have those as a base, it is essentially a machine. Much like a computer is just a machine. It is the operator who has moral dilemma's. When we start tinkering and adjusting the computer to do commands based on situational scenarios, the odds of becoming immoral go from 0 to infinite. If it is consistent, irregardless of the current scenario, it cannot be unfair. This is the problem with socialism. It seeks to adjust the computations depending on the environment and so is inherently flawed, unfair, and will fail in the outcome. The problem with free markets is that occasionally the people it serves elect morons who adjust the computations!

Those aren't morals or values, they are feelings and will cause inconsistency at best down the road. A free market has to exist without feelings or else it will be tremendously unfair and biased towards who ever controls it - ex. our current mortgage "bailout" scheme. It needs to apply the same rules in hard times as it does in the good times. Not trying to pick on you personally.

Here's a pretty good write up from the XD sight. http://www.xdtalk.com/forums/latest-hs2000-sa-xd-faq-stickies/33888-coloring-your-engravings-write-up.html

Use the Crayola first. You can always remove it. I've found i don't always like the first try.

They work and are awesome. I had some on my first XD and do exactly what they advertise them to do. They also will take forever to get. Customer service seems to be their weak link so far. They look big but aren't in comparison, but the sight picture is huge, in a good way. Of your two, I'd go with the Warren's. I'm not a big fan of the XS sights.

free markets have a way of weeding out the dummy's among us by breaking their bank and putting it into the banks of smarter people. Seriously prices will come down when people quite acting like idiots. But then again, maybe we aren't as poor and broke as the government tells we are.

I got pulled over for that about a year ago. I'm in a mini-van with my wife and 3 kids. He must of thought they were mules! j/k He ran my stuff and let me go. I think he was bored.

Good place. Cheap, I've never had a crowd problem, range masters are genrally pretty good. I have heard of some RM that are jerks, but personally the times I've been I haven't seen anything that would turn me off.

I like the PF9 as a backup and pocket gun but prefer something a little "more" for primary carry. I currently carry a 19 and have had two PF9's in the past. I wouldn't and haven't felt uncomfortable with the PF9, but really like the peace of mind the 19 gives me as far as reliability, capacity, sights, etc. go.

Chlorine burns off pretty fast. In fact one day without fresh chlorine and you will be easily in drinking safe levels. In fact, a lot of tap water I tested in Nashville has more chlorine than swimmming pools. When chlorine combines with bacteria, foreign particles ect. it breaks it down. What's left are neutral chloramines/chloramites. These are easily removed with filters, which is why pools have filters. Salt water pools use a very low level of salt (in ppm) as a sanitation medium. If you can taste it you have too much. It will not "burn" or hurt you in any way unless you drink a whole lot of it. Salinity is also easily lowered with dilution. Just a little rain in a salt water pool will lower salinity fairly significantly. All that to say, a good filter will do just fine for drinking purposes in a pinch if you give your pool a day or so to deactivate. all other pool chemicals are made to break down and filter in fairly large filter mediums. Drinking filters are much finer than any pool filter. Especially a sand filter. BTW - I was the post construction service manager for a high end pool company that dealt with a lot of the musicians and athletes here in Nashville and almost all of our pools used salt systems. Great stuff and cost difference is negligible even during install.

Yes. In some ways 9mm is superior to say .45 or .40, and in some ways not so much. Which is better, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Toyota, etc.? same thing.

How bout this? Engraving done right.

Just saw this on Brownings sight. In one way I really like it and at the same time I'm really offended. What do ya think? http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/firearms/detail.asp?value=007B&cat_id=051&type_id=022

Good stuff. They are Rock Islands imported by CD and are generally well regarded

and that's when they come out to get you!

I was up there and the had a lot of Stoeger's and Benelli's. They had a p350 with the Pistol grip that I believe had ghost ring sights on it. It was pretty nice looking shotty. HeroGear is also a Stoeger/Benelli dealer if their announcement is still accurate. I can beat if there are tac upgrades for the Stoeger, they will have them.

Why not get one of the Millet DMS-1 scopes. $200 and you won't have to get anything else, unless you just want a reflex/holo sight. http://www.swfa.com/pc-10714-1395-millett-1-4x24-dms-tactical-30mm-riflescope.aspx

Jumped on it quick, like ninja! finally some HST 124g +p!

For that money in .308 I'd get a M1A and deck it out, in .223 I'd do the same with the Sig 556, and in 6.8 I'd go with a AUG or LMT MRP. Of course the RFB would be awesome as well and you could change barrels as well, but i heard they changed some of the quick change ability.

Dang! Now that is a response and a heck of a rebuttal! I want you to write my opinions from now on!

When I was started rehabbing my house, I sent my buddy under the house to help me with some plumbing. He started yelling and when I shined the light down he said it look like a million little demons were looking at him! The whole underneath of the house was covered in those buggers!

Walther. If only they can get the ever elusive P99 QA in 9mm!

When I was pastoring in Arkansas I had an older man (late 60's) get bite on the right testicle! evidently it was in his pants when he put them on. I didn't see it but the doctors told me he was lucky to be alive. caused a lot of damage that took nearly a year to get over.

as long as they aren't Brown Recluses or Black Widows they are fine by me. I hate the bugs they eat more! On a side note. In NW Arkansas the tarantulas used to migrate every so often. Imagine millions of tarantulas moving at top speed like a wave! Freaky!

I don't understand the hoopla about these. I can think of other rifles that do the same, cost less, and look a heck of a lot better.
