  1. I don't but I too would like to know.
  2. Yeah, the forums did a different feel that day!
  3. This is widely reported to be the origin of the term "mall-ninja". While it has been posted many times and been around for a quite while, it is a terribly interesting piece of interweb history that will last forever.
  4. None so blind is he who refuses to see. Good piece.
  5. BS. The Leather part is forced against the gun by your body which pushes it into the formed Kydex part of the holster. The only way it could get loose is if you were to low ride you pants, but then you would have more than a gun flopping around to worry about! BTW mine was very uncomfortable as well. I Dremeled the top edges down to where it fit the gun profile better and it was much more comfortable. That was with a fullsize XD.
  6. While I only worked there, I can say Tunica is NO Vegas. BTW if you stay at the Grand Casino Hotel, I did the plumbing work on the outdoor pool. The hottest most miserable job I ever had!
  7. Personally I like clips a whole lot more. Easier on off, stronger/longevity (IMO), less print, etc. I also like a holster to ride as high as possible OWB and sit fairly low IWB. I also carry full size guns and like a "FBI" or forward cant. It just hides better the way I carry. I've also discovered that different body types can conceal better carrying different ways. It is truly a trial and error decision, so get a dedicated gun drwaer ready!
  8. Galco X-Project. I've never tried it but looks like it would be a good idea. It also seems to be the least bulky and fairly versatile. http://www.copsplus.com/prodnum6437.php
  9. Granted I've only dry fired a few, but the trigger was fairly nice for a DA. It was a little long but was very smooth and easy. Don't know if it is a better option than some other guns out there, but it is a nice gun IMO.
  10. I do have to admit they look better in person. I saw two this week but can't remember which shops here in town had them.
  11. I've had both the 19 and XD that I EDC. The XD is bulkier and heavier but not so much it is uncarriable. The 19 is about as perfect as it gets for a near fullsize carry piece. If they made a compact XD or M&P I'd go with those, but since they don't.... it's the 19.
  12. No offense taken. once these kinda threads get over 50 post it usually degenerates into the one of these kind of discussions. Which is probably why they get locked down.
  13. Maybe disprove it, if you can. It is a very legitimate argument to say the decay in morals has lead to a lot of our current problems. There is historical as well as current empirical evidence to support the idea. I think what you are responding to are the many that want to use it as a cope out or discussion ender instead of truly thinking through the proposition. With that I agree with you, but throwing everyone with a outright religious world view as a hypocritical extremist is against you better arguments on fact. I was simply pointing out the emotionally reactive response from both sides is counterproductive. Kinda like the glass house thing.
  14. Or when the "heathen" respond with the always productive "churchie" hypocrite rebuttal to everything they disagree with? So much more productive. Seriously ones religious views/world view, whether you think you have them or not, shades everyones comments. Generalizing for derogatory purposes is ignorant. As does the +1 to those comments. Some of you guys are hard core libertarians, so does that automatically disqualify you from a position because we already know where you are coming from?
  15. I was given gift certificates to Outback and the movies so we went Thursday. (my day off). Ate well and then saw Taken. Earlier that afternoon took my 5 yr old daughter out to Chuck E. Cheese and for ice cream for our "date". Friday I had my "special day" with my 2 yr old son and we went to Chick-Fil-a (he likes the playground). He also like to ride in the "big" seat in the truck. Saturday took my 4 yr old son to the train show for his "special day". Was a great weekend!

    StageCoach Shotguns

    I don't know about the ones you speak of, but Guns and Leather always has a few on the floor racks. I believe they are usually the Chinese ones.
  17. If I read that correct I can "rent" a gun to someone out of state and not have to use a FFL? Interesting loop hole I might try out!
  18. Sweet! You got one of them Cop Killa's the Mexicans are raving about!

    Help Me Choose...

    I'm gonna go with the Smif. Ohshoot?... oh don't shoot!
  20. If you check the date on that (1992) I think you will find it outdated and that the consensus has changed since then.
  21. Here's one we see eye to eye.
  22. While I'm no expert the way it was relayed to me was like boxers. .45 is like a lumbering heavy weight who relies on shear mass to exert power. He is slower but more power behind a his punch due to the mass behind it. 9mm is akin to a middleweight that has tremendous power but relies heavily on speed and quickness to transfer the power of his punch. while the analogy has obvious holes it made sense to me. In a .45 you want the biggest heaviest bullet because speed is not really a factor. In 9mm, velocity is the main factor. So the size and speed relationship is critical when choosing a load. That is why .357 SIG and .357 Mag are such powerful and effective rounds. Different principles to achieve effectiveness.
  23. He is one I posted awhile back and is pretty good. www.elitedealseeker.com
  24. Federal HST 124g +p, Hornady TAP 124g 9mm, or Winchester Ranger-T/SXT 124g +p depending on what I can get and what I have left over.
  25. This week... Glock 19. Of course that is until I trade it for a new flavor:D
