I have had a Pandora One subscription for about two years now.  Love it.

It'll be alright.  :)

  Actually... I probably would.  Kimber quality isn't what most folks think it is, and the Remington is a more "true" 1911 than the SW1911 if you're into the whole internal vs. external extractor debate.  If I were in the mood for a good 1911 at a reasonable price, I'd take a hard look at the Remington.   I'd also look at the Ruger 1911s.

Where are you hanging out that you haven't heard much good about Remington lately?

  Look, what I am seeing here is failure to comprehend what was written so let's take this from another angle:   SHOW ME WHERE HE INSULTED YOU.   I've read it several times and nowhere in there does he make a statement that seems like it was designed to insult or offend you.  I see a point where he makes the statement "If you do not have at least five meetings scheduled with legislators at LP tomorrow, you are talking, not doing." but in this case the word YOU seems to be used in the first-person.  That is the only area what I see what what he said might be misconstrued, and even that shouldn't trip up anyone who has ever written a first-person narrative before.   So back to my last challenge, show me where he insulted you in his post.  I maintain that you completely misunderstood the point of his post the same way you went straight to a literal interpretation of my statement about being slapped with a glove.   While you're doing that, I can show you where what YOU (not used in the first-person, mind you) absolutely intended to offend him with your response.  Hell, it offended me for him.

  I think you REALLY missed the point of his post.  What I got from it is it's a tiring, grueling, thankless task where you are up against overwhelming odds all the time.  Maybe you missed the part where he said he does this using time-off from work when his family would rather they be taking vacations.   Honestly, very rarely do I read things on TGO that make me wish we were still in an age where we could remove a glove, slap another man across the face with it, and demand that an apology be issued for their transgression.   You unlocked that achievement with that post.

It's very unAmerican not to own a 1911.  Congratulations on joining the Society of 1911 Owners.  :)

  Yeah don't get all crazy and go buy a Glock or something.   :)

I just... It's not... I... oh forget it. This is why we can't vote and get nice things.

No but I've been seriously eyeballing the Gen 4 Glock 20.

Over-penetration is most certainly a concern with this stuff but the 10mm cartridge was one of the first things I thought of after watching the ISIS shitbags shoot up Paris while wearing body armor a few weeks ago.

Apple Mac users with Retina displays should notice an improvement with the look of the header and the menu tabs across the top of the screen.  Specifically, the header now resizes dynamically and does not screw up the alignment of the menu tabs now if you view the page at 100% zoom in your web browser.

  Oh I love this euphemism... Might have to borrow it!  :up:

You know, it's a nice thought and all... and I certainly support the notion of less taxation... but I have to wonder what better use of his time there might have been than filing a proposal that we all know good and well won't get passed.  How about spending more time on Pro 2A legislation that will actually make a difference?   This just seems like an empty token gesture to me.  We need Pro 2A legislation that will benefit our state for generations to come, not novelty legislation that matters for one day a year and saves someone $50 on a $500 handgun.

The Welcome To The Party poster is comedy gold.

HOLY COW!!!! If I'd have noticed that, I'd have shut the TV off right then too! Might have even thrown it out of the house!!! Not really. :)

Meh.  It was a great mini-series.  It wasn't 100% accurate and they compressed a lot of history into three days, but it still pointed out that this country was birthed by hellraisers and beer drinkers.  I'm rather proud of that aspect of our history.  We have a long tradition of bucking tyranny and our current administration would be well served to remember that.   If Sons of Liberty inspires a renewed interest in our nation's history among young people (or people in general) then that's a good thing.  We live in a day when we really could use a reminder of where we came from.

Welcome.  Glad to have you among us.  :wave:

Welcome!

Fantastic gun.  I'll add a SIG 1911 to my collection sooner or later!

Welcome aboard, Jim.  :wave:

Welcome.  :wave:

I do.  Pocket gun and a full size.
