  1. Dont worry; thanks for the recommendation... I like the CZ pistols too... Im just tryin to get all my semiauto stuff in the Glock... XD pile... leroy
  2. Hipower may have nailed it... i need ta look for a G24... I looked at the specs... It is a semiatomatic SAA... HEHEHE... Long barrel, 38 oz weight... Now to find a "lovingly cared for, lightly used model"... HEHEHE... And a special thanks to all who have taken the time to opine... leroy
  3. Dear Brothers n Sisters.... I have re-emerged from my long winter's nap and have been thinkin again about a big, soft shooting 9 mm plastic pistol... I've got a Glock 20 and a 21 layin around... I like the size... Either a Glock or an XD... What do you "Frequent Shooters" like and why...? Thanks a bunch and Merry Christmas... leroy
  4. I like it Brother...! My guess is that the "Astral Overseers" have commandeered it and are using it as a base to contact Elvis, Obama, The Great Gonzo, and anyone who has dirt on Trump... I cant wait ta see where this one goes.. HEHEHE... believin leroy...
  5. Wish I wuz Brother..! This one will be great...! leroy...
  6. HEHEHE... This one will be fun to watch... Another great day for America... laughin leroy...
  7. Good luck Brother...! I love these things... They are truly a great machine... IH leroy...
  8. Side.. I would live ta have a 10 inch Contender Hornet...! That's where it's at Brother.., Leroy...
  9. I love this guy Bob... These old Blackhawk 45 Colts are, i think, "The Best of the Best"... I have burned powder by the pound thru a brother to this one (...A "Made in the Two Hundredth Year" beastie...) and carried him a many a mile... They are my all time favorite Ruger single action, and that's a pretty tall bar... Thanks for sharing this great photo of a truly great pistola..! This is what colt should have built Brother... admirin leroy...
  10. Dave has hit a homerun shot here... Notice that no one talks about the Pueblo... Feckless foreign policy doomed the Pueblo... When your foreign policies are toothless, you get "Pueblos".... Dave.. Thank you for re-reminding all of us about this sad incident... rememberin leroy...
  11. The "hornet", itself, is an ancient cartridge... The ole 22WCF with smokeless powder added... Very few of the old black powder cartridges of the 1800's survived the transition to the "smokeless era"... The fact that the hornet did is a tribute to it's accuracy and versatility... The fact of the matter is that when you shoot that hornet, you are shooting the father of the modern, and very useful 222 and 223... The old 222 used to own the benchrest range... I've shot the hornet in turn bolt guns... The accuracy is superb... The hornet wll shoot as good as you can... Enjoy it... leroy...
  12. Did a bit of cleanin here a few minutes ago... Things are definitely better now... I flushed everything in the slide and in the trigger group with a bit of Ronsonol (...that's right... lighter fluid... It is a great cleaner for oily or gummy parts... Learned the trick from a photographer buddy...) and a bit of Blue Lube, then a few drops of Tuff Glide... leroy...
  13. Thanks Mike... Here's hopin we dont have ta find out on this little beastie... Thanks again for the great vote of confidence... leroy...
  14. Thanks alley... I appreciate it greatly... Been lookin at these too... This is the "Plan B" option... Been watchin the videos... They look a bit more complicated than a Glock... Like UG said, most folks don't find much not to like with the XD trigger... This particular one is long and stacks up pretty hard toward the end... It could be that it needs a good cleanin and inspection... We'll take her down and see what we find maybe here in a day or two... Thanks again... leroy...
  15. Thanks UG... I appreciate it greatly... This particular one has been thru the recall... I'm beginning ta think it's time to take it down and see what's goin on... I haven't disassembled it yet, and im anticipating the worse... Im kinda like you, ive never heard much bad about them... Thanks again, leroy...
  16. Brothers n Sisters... I've got a 45ACP XDs that i like alot... About the right size, width, n weight... The problem is that the trigger pull is miserable... I need some recommendations on someone in the east tennessee area that might work on this beastie... Thanks a bunch... leroy
  17. Ya did good Brother... A genuine "Deluxe Coon Hunter's" revolver... I don't know that ive ever seen one that nice... Congratulations... leroy...
  18. Brothers n Sisters... I have an XDS 45ACP i really like, but the trigger pull is miserable... I've looked at the "how to" videos on tunin these guys up, but it looks like too much of a headache for an old curmudgeon like me to tackle... Does anyone know of a competent XD gunsmith or tinterer around the East to Middle Tennessee (...East of Nashville, preferably...) they would recommend.... Thanks a bunch... "tired finger, poor shootin leroy"... The XDS failure...
  19. Thinkin about one myself Brother... leroy...
  20. This is interestin stuff... Austin is a hotbed of nutism... This guy might have thought he was "Harry the Anarchist" from the Muppett Show... Ya aint got to look far for dangerous people in some places... This guy appeared to be readin from the ole IWW playbook... Make folks afraid, cause chaos... Glad he is gone... watchin leroy...
  21. Greg... The thing with the guitar is the "what are ya gonna use it for" thing... My bunch (...not me...my youngin...) is pretty musical... Everything gets played here... The best thing is to play or have someone play 'em all... Pick the one you like... Ya got two great places there in Nashville... One is George Gruhn's pace, Gruhn's Guitars, the other is Carter Vintage Guitar right down the street... Ease on over there and take a look, and remember this; all guitars aint equal from any manufacturer... It's kinda like pickin a girlfriend or wife; pick the one you like... For what it's worth, Joe has a Golden Era D18 that i think is out of this world... If ya are old enough to remember the great Earl Scruggs playin the gospel lead ins on the guitar; they were done with a D18... Probably a 1930's era one... A simple mahogany guitar with an adirondack (...red spruce...) top... listenin leroy...
  22. Thanks for the kind replies... No subsonic or esoteric loads... This would be a genuine rifle... leroy...
  23. Garufa speaks a great truth here... Don't draw any conclusions from what a bunch of 50/50 yankee/hoodlum demorat yahoos in florida do... Rick Scott has no core values, he is a damned politician positioning himself for a senate run... He is the Lamar Alexander of Florida right now... He cares about nothing other than building a constituency to become a senator... It will be interestin to watch how this plays out... Watchin leroy...
  24. Brothers n Sisters... Once again i find myself wantin to build a 300 Blackout 16 inch barrel upper... Please school me as to your recommendations as to the best barrel, gas system, bolt, etc for this endeavour... The upper would have a simple free float handguard and tritium iron sights... Thanks a bunch in advance... 300BO leroy...
