Ohhhhh, I love Hi-Powers!

I bet you could save quite a bit of weight changing out the HEAVY RRA quad. I do like how the look and feel though. Nice gun.

The Rossi M92's are nice guns for the money. I have one of the carbines and it is my favorite gun. I prefer the 16" or 18" barrel as you don't gain much velocity once you get over 18". Looking around the $450-$500 range if and when you can find them. They are pretty true Winchester 92's without the price. The wood isn't the nicest but that is easily fixable.

C&R license.

Yeah, the 10mm has it going on. Good point on the .40 having the ability to cross caliber. Actually, now that I think of it, that's what I always did with the .40's I've had. I love the .357 SIG, outside of finding ammo and cost. Can't you replicate .357 SIG with +p/+p+ 9mm?

So give me a good argument for why someone would choose a .40 S&W over a 9mm or .45 ACP. From the latest studies I've seen, the difference between 9mm, .40, and ,45 ACP (in apple to apple defensive round comparisons) are within 2-5 percentage points. If I want small and fast, I'm going 9mm. If I want big heavy and doesn't need velocity, I'm going .45. IMO, the .40 does some of what the 9mm does but not the bets parts and some of what the .45 does but not the best parts. I have no problem with the round and I have had several, but I can't seem to find a compelling argument to choose it over the 9mm or .45 ACP. I know folks like them but what is the edge it posses over the others? Is there something real or is it something perceived? BTW - not intended as a caliber war, just a fun discussion.

Sounds like the holster was not molded properly to allow clearance.

Come by the shop and talk to Brock. He's doing it and droped a lot of weight.

I use the TRX and love it. Light weight, slim, solid, and modular. Can't say enough about it. The Alpha looks pretty cool with the fold down front sight built in and I'm curious how the rail locks on the barrel nut, but it looks like a winner.

I'd say it was fair. I always judge deals by how much money I could get out of it if I have to sell it. I'd say you'd be able to get you money out of that deal.

I've got a Rossi/Puma 92 and LOVE it. It is by far my favorite rifle. Mine is the pre-safety version. It eats pretty much any ammo I feed it and with the hotter, Cor-Bon or Buffalo Bore ammo, it's pushing mid range 30-30 ballistics. IMO it is an ideal personal defense carbine. Light weight, easy to carry, easy to shoot, lots of available ammo, .357 is great for most game, and can be loaded down for smaller game with the .38. Add to it the reliabilty of the lever action and it's also an incredibly fun gun to shoot.

From the hole in the end, it looks like a .22 or a bb/pellet gun.

Was there a law passed that necessitated the warrants or what? Somethings amiss.

That or get the kids to stop growing!

Haven't been on a vaction with my family in 8 years but if you want to pony up the money and foot one more vaction bill, I'm game.

No it really doesn't, except that it does. BTW - I'm agreeing that it's a non story.

He's an idiot for making the comment, regardless of the issue at hand. I have a problem with a lot of the Presidents and their "travel/vactioning". They can do that after their four years are over. As far as "buisness" I have no problem with that.

www.burwellguns.com and www.accurateiron.com are also M&P specialist.

Apex and the Smith Custom Shop are about the only ones I know of. Then again, the M&P doesn't need as much after market support as Glock and XD!

Customer specifically wanted "highlighter green". I personally think Chris did an unbelieveable job of making a less than desireable choice a look as good as it possiby could. While it wouldn't be my choice i kinda like that green 442. Great job Chris and the customer was very happy!

Here is my Sabre mid-length 16" with Troy TRX. Can't say enough about either. The Troy's are slim, light, and I like the modular abilities to add what I want where I want. I personally have always ended up with mid-length systems. I just like the look and percieved benefits.

Wow! This is our media at work. Not even sure how these things get correlated together, but her it is - http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/trayvon-martin-shooting-shame-nra-newest-poster-child-george-zimmerman-article-1.1061033?localLinksEnabled=false

Premise is wrong. The circumstances are irrelevant to the absolute, regardless of what one chooses. However, information or lack therof, is essential to ones personal decision but again it will not change the truth of the scenario.

Yep that's the arguement I've always heard and it's (IMO) a way to over complicate something simple. It all comes down to God vs. Man. If there is a God then there are absolutes and they are absolute in their application regardless of perception, culture, circumstances, etc. Man's application is irrelevant since he is not the holder of the absolute truth. If there is no God and Man is the final authority then things are completley relative to the individual being and his perception is the only reality that matters to him. That is the base for Russell's entire argument in "Perception and Reality". He later denounced it. Of course I disagree that man is an authority in and of himself, due to one simple fact that there are already universal understandings of right and wrong from cultures who have been truly isolated from any other. Like you mentioned murder, stealing, infidelity, etc are universally considered wrong. There are cultural variances in their application but the main principle is universal. If there is even one universal absolute then relativism is extremely weakened. The fact that there are many is damning to relativism. This is only taking moral issues. Math in and of itself completely denounces relativism as it was not derived from anything but is a simple reflection of absolute right. It can not be changed nor will it evolve into a conflicting stance.

So you are absolute there is no absolute. Just messing with you.
