  1. this is a good deal.  and a great company to deal with in my experience
  2. Thank you for checking TNguy. I have amended that detail of my post to reflect this.
  3. whatever location you choose to carry in, at this range i would assume one of your arms or hands may be busy holding off your attacker while your other is unholstering a weapon. With that in mind, i have a few thoughts to add to the many excellent thoughts posted here. as others have noted, an extreme close contact fighting class is a must. IMHO if i was in your same circumstance, i would NOT be selecting a semi auto pistol. i would choose something along the lines of the ruger LCR in .357 the choice is because of the extreme close contact, the possibility of ANY malfunction must be removed from the equation and only a revolver can reduce that possibility. the LCR is ultimate point and click. repeat until the threat is stopped. no safety, minimal externally moving parts, no problem. it is small and easy to conceal. A revolver will operate in any position, and even if being grappled for (a semi can fire one round and stopped if the slide if being controlled or held. I've done it) A revolver can also operate when aggressively pushed into the threat. there is no risk of an out of battery failure to fire or failure to feed. This risk is real with any semi auto handgun, even the XD with the standoff device. The LCR is hammerless allowing it to be fired from deep cover, from a suit jacket pocket or anywhere without risk of clothing or other interference. the fact that it is hammerless also adds an aspect of decreased legal exposure as is well documented. A revolver has no safety to manipulate or in any way possible to be set if being grappled with. in an extreme case where one is physically fighting to retain control of the weapon, a revolver (the entire pistol) can be gripped with both hands and fired. unlike a semi which can only be gripped with one hand with the other hand cupping the strong hand. again, when hands on grappling for control of a semi, the possibility of the semi being held out of battery or out of function is real. To be fair, It is possible to hold the cylinder of a revolver and render it temporarily inoperable. A revolver loaded with something along the lines of the Hornady Critical Defense round, i would bet my life on it. even the LCR .38 just my thoughts. and i would consider ankle carry depending on how you sit and cross your legs, etc. or 5.11 makes an undershirt with a carry holster on the side under the arm. This is very deep carry however and would likely be far to difficulty to access. tucking a revolver deep into the side cushion of your chair is also an option. in a slip out holster of course. a lot depends on your body shape and size as well. a lot of unknowns here. I agree with others, have a conversation with Cruel Hand Luke and get in the class and he may even have some perspective on location of carry or off body options in your office. best of luck to you and keep us posted. (i welcome any critical review on my thoughts here, and am open to thoughtful discourse)
  4. a sad but true story
  5. i'd like to escort him to the border.  
  6. Me likey.
  7. this is great!  i'm not familiar with Rockcastle, perhaps you could give more info??   Nothing near me even close to this...   i love the math problems that LR brings...
  8. i am learning a lot...  mostly that i don't know what i don't know
  9. Awesome. Thanks
  10. That's a sweet high speed looking rig would you consider giving a run down of the build? L to R or top to bottom, etc... Have a similar rig but learn a great deal from others, and your rig looks great.
  11.   worth every penny
  12. Sure!     http://intrepidts.com
  13. happens all the time... even in the U.S.
  14. Try this http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M26_Modular_Accessory_Shotgun_System Also, there are 12ga uppers for the AR10 platform One would think it wouldn't be too hard to mill a single shot 12ga upper receiver for the AR 15...
  15. Lots of important details missing from your query, but based on what you've given, an 08 or newer FJR is a great choice It does everything very well, including keep the mrs. Happy Having ridden for 30 years and probably over a dozen bikes (although none were a GW ) I can say its perhaps one of the most capable bikes I've ever owned or even been on.... I love mine.... And doubt i will ever find more bang for the buck in all the important categories I can commute year round, get groceries, do 1K mile days in comfort, and drag a knee when the devil calls... All that with shaft drive, 5 min oil changes, bullet proof engineering and very long major service intervals. A Simply amazing machine.
