  1. I don't like the ones linked. Seems like there is too much going on. Especially with that very small tip of the triangle. I had some Sure Sights for the XD when they first came out and they flat out work! They seem huge when sighting but aren't any bigger than other sights in comparison and bright doesn't even come close to describing them. They are however, very poorly supported at the moment and should cause some pause.
  2. Tired of just griping about the so called "Stimulus" bill that is really a Democrat/Liberal payout spending bill? Sign the petition and learn some of the facts as well. http://nostimulus.com/
  3. HaHa, that's great! Of course this will never be heard in the media and he will be decried as some marginal scientist at best. Do you have a link to the piece for reference?
  4. Mehh, everyone here is always complaining about PC and then when someone articulates (very well I might add) the truth in a very straightforward and concise way - calls a spade a spade - the same people starting saying how much they don't like them. Give me Ann and Rush all day all the time!

    P99 or SW99

    The SW99's frame is made in Germany by Walther and the barrel and slide are made here as said before. There are some cosmetic differences between the two and I much prefer the P99. However, they are running around $700+ if you can find them. At that price point, as much as i like the P99 (my favorite HG of all time) I went with the M&P. The P99/SW99 are also very light. In .40 they will have a sharp recoil that the M&P will handle better.
  6. Yeah, I gonna say M&P as well. For one you can change backstraps to fit here better and it is not near as blocky as the XDc. While i like the XD (have owned 2) the M&P would just look better on a woman.
  7. Could this friend of a friend cousins relative not strip the parts and sell them while the receiver disappears back to the field? Just sayin.
  8. Yep, I'm seriously considering OC like this!
  9. What is truly said is that with Europe's long history with this subject one would think they would have learned by now. History truly does repeat itself. Great video BTW.
  10. It really is unfortunate, but I think calling them "murderers" is over the top. I know here in Nashville a quick call would prevent this sorta thing and if he had family or friends they should have borne the responsibility more than the government. The fact people knew his condition but didn't check on him till after the fact says a lot. I doubt it was all that preventable aside from someone checking on him round the clock. I will say for some of the elderly these things will always happen. I have checked on many an elder in the summer and they will be bundled up with the heat on and 90 degree weather! I'll be sitting there sweating bullets while they complain about how cool it has been. There is a reason so many have strokes in the summer. At that age their bodies will lie to them. It's unfortunate all around.
  11. For Cruisers, I'm thinking a shotty in a scabbard would work ala "Renegade"
  12. Here we go again with the principal over practical. It likes arming some guerrillas to overthrow a dictator. Will they do every little thing you want? No, but they will get rid of the bigger evil. Then you are left with more manageable smaller battles. The war is more important than the battle and this is where conservatives/libertarians etc. fail to the liberals. Get out of the tower and into the fight. The best defense is a good offense. We have consistently been winning more battles than loosing. The stats back it up. Ownership is up, permits are up, court cases are leaning once again our way, more and more manufactures are coming on line and all some people can do is complain about the NRA not backing Olofson more, which is a questionable legal case to sink money in anyway or the Auto weapon ban. Join the NRA and GOA and then keep pushing on local levels for more change. Otherwise it's like the people who voted for Perot, who only managed to elect Billary.
  13. Only the frame (or serialized part). the rest are just "parts" according to ATF. Plus it wouldn't save you any doing it this way. Just box it up and drop it off.
  14. Tuck-This is fin, but for the P11 I would just get the clip and not worry about it.
  15. After I my spill I can honestly say I am SOOOOO glad I was not OWB/IWB. I landed on my strong side and it would have done a tremendous amount of damage. I was carrying in my shoulder bag, which I think is a little more accessable and safer on a bike.
  16. I'm thinking some deluxe checkered Alumagrips would look awesome on that 1911! http://www.alumagrips.com/main.taf?p=2,1,3
  17. I just found this site and it is pretty good when you are looking for something specific. It cross checks a lot of different forums want ads and list them by time posted so you can find what you want. You can customize it to some extent as well choose the categories you want. I like that it doesn't link back to TGO as I'd like it to stay local. I did a search and couldn't find anything on it so here it is. http://elitedealseeker.com/
  18. Yep, "From Russia with Love" and also made an appearance in "Goldfinger" when Tilly tries to assassinate Goldfinger. Here is Maxwell Smart's AR-7 from the show "Get Smart"
  19. Man! Where in this thread was that even said or implied. The OP is the only one who said anything about Dems and he gave them credit while putting the Reps down. Besides Democrats are compared to Republicans. Conservative is related to liberal and not parties per se. You are a liberal democrat as opposed to a conservative or Rep.
  20. Yes you can. The FFL only applies when guns are interstate commerced. However, like previously said, if you tell a carrier what you are doing they will freak out and say no even though their policies say yes and the law says yes. I know form experience. I have done it before and just have to get creative on how I notify the shipper of contents. do not say machined parts. Sometimes thye will check to make sure their is no oil! FedEx is much better in this situation than UPS.
  21. Just curious, but why the compensated?
  22. I see a lot of whining about the NRA from gun owners, but think about it this way. What would things look like without them? I would dare say we would be far worse off. That being said, are they perfect..no. Do they get every stance right, according to me...no. One thing we conservative/independents/whatever have to quite doing is eating our own. One of the great accomplishments of Reagan was unifying a bunch of individualist. The Dems are good at uniting because they are followers. We must learn to work together to win the war and stop worring about every little battle WE think is the most important one. Big picture people. Jackdog, is there anyone you DO support?
