I guess my thick sarcasm wasn't heard over the internet.

I can almost guarantee they are .50 cal of some sort. That's the only use those rounds have......isn't it?

With your size a full size shouldn't be a problem. I carry a full size FNP-9, Hi-Power .40, and previously an XD-9 both IWB and OWB. I had a PF9 for the same reasons you mentioned, but found that with very few exceptions I could get away with my preferred full size guns. Plus I didn't practice much with the pocket guns. They just weren't much fun. I get a lot more use and enjoyment out of full sized guns.

So now 13 guns is "hoarding" and if you have more than a couple thousand rounds you are a nut. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,346788,00.html HOMESTEAD, Fla. — The brother of a 20-year-old South Florida man charged with threatening to re-enact the Virginia Tech massacre says he never intended to hurt anyone. Vincent Wong says he brother, Calin Chi Wong, just had a stockpile of assault weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition at his Homestead home for investment purposes. He says Wong traded the weapons like "Pokemon" cards. Police say Calin Chi Wong had 13 firearms in all, including two sniper rifles, more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition, some that could pierce armor, and 100 rounds in a feeding clip with bullets meant to take down aircraft or military machines. Police say he made the threat over the Internet after he felt he was ripped off in a gun deal. Homestead is about 30 miles south of Miami.

I was just typing that in! I also has a belt attachment.

Ahhh, the wonderful world of hi-tech gossip. I think it will get the same results as lo-tech gossip. A lot of hurt and not much good.

Only road bicyclist worry about where they get their coffee. Kinda like they worry about has a Bianchi mint green frame and who has the Telekom pink frame!

Why not use a Hi-Power. Very easy to get back on target, accurate, SA, parts, and with a little tuning - can have a great trigger.

Make you're belt tighter or be cool and don't worry about it and tell everyone you're trying to relate to the younger generation. Kinda like a white Robert Randolph!

Kinda like the neighborhood around our church. With the downtown boom, a bunch of 20 somethings are tripling house prices and putting "No Race Track" signs in their yards (we are by the fairgrounds). I've even heard some rumblings about the gun shows at the fairgrounds. They want to make it a green parkway! The folks who have lived there 50 yrs just don't understand. It's as if they think, "Hey here's a quaint little neighborhood we can save from these people." then they forget that they move out all those folks who were there.

Thanks that makes sense.

THanks for the explanation, but why was it necessary to cut all ties with ETS?

You can't get any better than the Truglo TFO's. Best I've ever used.

....and we're surprised?

I have an elephant with alligator band for my Hi-Power that should arrive tomorrow. I let you know how it is. Great prices, pretty quick, customer service is a little weak - via e-mail. If you need something call them. Similar to this :

Your right, it is impossible to prove a negative. That being said, I challenge anyone to show hard evidence of embryonic stem cell research being used in any positive test. The so called "potential" miracle that might be found is about as good science as Al Gore's global warming science. However, there is plenty of alternatives and sources of stem cells that have nothing to do with embryonic cells. Consequently they have been used in numerous positive treatments and therapies. Currently they are being used in some cancer treatments as well as Hodgekins. As a right wing, religious, anti-abortion, zealot I fully support this research. The sources at the bottom of the Wikipedia source is a good resource. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell_controversy

There is exactly zero science or proof that science can come from embryonic stem cells. However, great advancements have been made using the many other resources of stem cells. The embryonic issue is really a ploy to find a market for abortion research thus ensuring the abortion issue. Not to get that whole issue going, but that is really what the so called "stem" cell issue is about. I have no problem with current stem cell research, but the wanting government to buy aborted babies for "research" that is unecessary is troubling.

It is a perpetual swing. It will never stop in the middle. It will go waaaay left and then react and swing tooooo far right. It is the nature of humans to live in extremes.

Try this. it seems like a sound and good procedure. It is a series of abrasive bullets in progressively milder "grits" to polish or "lap" the barrel. Here is the full article http://www.gunsandammomag.com/gun_columns/notes/0707/ and the company that makes them. http://www.superiorshootingsystems.com/

Might I add that our country has progressively gotten more secularist in it's voting as time has passed. Many issues we face today are a result of that - some good, many much worse as far as crime, criminal punishment, drugs, ect. go. IMO. It would be a hard argument to say less religious tone has been better overall for our nation. If you want to get back to the founding fathers intent, you can't ignore the religious aspects that were the foundation for their ideologies.......that would be called liberalism. And with that the hate mongering, right wing extremist, Christian radical will now leave the thread alone.

Either is extremely good. It's a personal choice. You can get the Cochise Defender and wear it either way.

You do realize our Founding Father's were the Moral Majority? This is more liberal propaganda conservatives have bought. That somehow religious people (by nature uneven and extreme:rolleyes:) will slowly legislate their own extremist beliefs. Isn't that what everyone does? Vote their beliefs? At least you know where they come from, unlike the "moderates". Isn't that what scares everyone about McCain? He's a moderate and you never know which side he will fall on. This is liberal non-sense and I'm sad to say some of you have bought it.

That is expensive for what it is. You can get a top of the line custom made for less in some cases. Try K&D http://kdholsters.com/. You'll have to wait, but it'll be worth it.

I think that is because a lot of us have met one another.It takes some of the anonymity away, which is a good thing....sometimes ! Some folks are a lot dumber looking in person!:D

Why? This is rather intriguing discussion. Nothing is out of hand or mean spirited. If you don't want to read it don't.
