Bump

If Colt would chamber the new Anaconda in .45 Colt, I would absolutely buy one.

new guy. He seems to be digging up zombie threads and trying to buy guns. Most of the OPs are no longer on here.

I have 4 like new Ed Brown stainless 1911 9mm magazines with bump pads. Maybe used once. Would like to trade for equal quality 1911 mags. Prefer 38 Super, but might trade for 45acp. Otherwise $25 each.

I like Red Lobster, but it is kinda expensive for my budget. I only eat there maybe once or twice a year. I looked and it seems they only closed one in Memphis. Winchester Rd. The one here in Bartlett almost always has a waiting list.

Oh, I get that. That's exactly what happened to me. We were young, two small kids and even though we both worked, things were tight. We managed as long as things went well. But that rarely happened. Something would break, the kids need clothes, yadda, yadda, yadda. Unexpected expenses just came along and always at the wrong time. Back then, credit cards were hard to get. There were long forms to fill out and they actually checked up on you. Many people got declined. I did get a MasterCard which I used sparingly. But then I managed to hit the mother load. I got a Sears credit card! You could get anything you needed at Sears! It saved my butt many times. But it also drowned me in credit card debt. The interest was outrageous! The day I finally paid it off was a huge celebration for me. I canceled the card and cut it up in little pieces with a huge smile on my face. Now days they hand out credit cards to anybody and everybody. They don't care at all. Here, take it, no problem. Enjoy! I can certainly understand how well meaning people can fall into the trap. I was one of them. But I still believe that most people today did it to themselves. Financial responsibility seems to go right over many peoples heads now.

Looks like something was spilled on it. Most soft drinks will do that to a blued gun.

Here's a pic of my meager Colt collection. I'm afraid that they only pic of the Python I have currently. That's it at the top. I hear ya about the S&Ws. I have a safe full of 'em and there ain't a single lock in the bunch. I only have one with any MIM parts. S&W ain't what they used to be.

Those star farts have the potential to do a lot of damage. Look up the Carrington Event of 1859. Then imagine that in today's electronic world.

With our current educational system, that's pretty much everybody under 40.

I'm mainly a S&W guy. I collect those and have a bunch of 'em. But I do own some Colts too. Including a 1975 6" blue Python. I like 'em. At this point I think that more than likely I will buy one. But as I said, so far I've never held one.

Tennessee is on the list primarily due to Memphis. Consistently in the top 5 of the FBI's most violent cities list.

Been there, done that. Once I was drowning in credit card debt. Its especially hard on young people trying to get themselves established in this world. The interest charges will eat you up. But many do it to themselves. They want what they want and they want it right now! I think all of us have had to stand in a checkout line waiting while the person in front of us tries multiple credit cards to make their purchase. Or worse are the people who buy little items such as one soft drink or fast food and pay with a credit card. That sort of thing adds up real quick. I got myself out of credit card debt some 30 years ago. Today I have one credit card and its used primarily for internet purchases. I also pay off the balance every month. For most everyday items, I pay cash. If I don't have enough cash, I just don't buy it.

I've been very interested in these since they first came out. Now that they're doing them in Blue, I may well buy one. But then again, I may wait for the 5" in blue. Either way, I've yet to actually see one for real. Once I get one in my hands is when the decision will actually be made.

Can't see it from my house. Too much background light and too many trees. But the portable radio in my house sure knows the Sun is up to sumthin'. Lots of static and signals are breaking up.
