Also, a new video game from the makers of Red Dawn is coming out... it's called Homefront. Looks really cool. HOMEFRONT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uzqx-lDoCr8&feature=player_embedded

You guys may be happy to hear that Season One will be out on DVD / Blu Ray in on March 8th. Amazon.com: The Walking Dead: Season One: Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Laurie Holden, Sarah Wayne Callies, Emma Bell, Jeffrey DeMunn, Frank Darabont, Gale Ann Hurd: Movies & TV

Really? Those guys are usually pretty smart. They usually don't do it as a day job either. Of course the last guy that I worked for that had his master's in IT was perfectly suited for his job of attending meetings all the time. It would have been a total cluster if he'd ever tried to do any tech work. (back to your regularly scheduled home security talk)

Cool... I had a guy with a master's in IT working for me once.

The last time I checked that whole part of town wasn't safe to not carry in.

As Smith said, you can polish them and end up with a stainless gun. However the reason that S&W doesn't do them in stainless is because they are meant to be service pistols and not gaudy accouterments. I've never understood the flashy pistol craze, although I did once have an XD treated with Robar's NP3 just to see if I liked it. It was slicker than snot and a little too shiny for carry use, IMO. I do like a dull matte silver, though. Probably because they don't reflect light so badly.

Wow, you pretty much refuse to believe anyone who has more experience on something than you do no matter what the subject. At least you're consistent.

Ah. I've not quite been in that situation but I've been in a dating relationship years and years ago where she was apparently still getting reamed on certain days of the week by an ex of hers. You don't want to be in that situation. You never know what they're bringing back to the bedroom, or whether some pissed-off jealous other boyfriend is going to show up to beat your ass or worse. She did you a favor.

Not sure how that got turned on, honestly. I need to turn it off.

Well played. Maybe they've invested in laser engraving equipment.

Hahaha... Sig has never really cared to compete against anyone on a cost basis, except maybe HK. The Sig will cost more because it's a Sig, and the faithful will pay more for it because it's a Sig.

Did you guys read the letter? Basically Adams is warning season ticket holders that the NFL Players Union is about to start playing dirty and the season may be delayed this year as a result.

Thanks for the reminder. I needed to order more 230gr .45ACP FMJ anyway.

The PM9 is about as tall as I'd want in a gun that can be carried in the pocket. It's already pushing the envelope in the front pockets of 5.11 cargo pants.

Merged the threads and changed "executed" to "punished" to hide the truth behind how things are run here. Ignore any references to the Iron Fist of Stalin.

Whenever this happens, I end up punishing a moderator for not saving me from myself. For some reason Strick always volunteers. I think he just likes the rough stuff.

While I am generally a fan of Magpul stuff, some of their more recent products are being classified -- by Magpul themselves -- as "theory based" products. In other words, they had a theory that a certain product would be an answer to a problem, but there is no anecdotal proof to substantiate it. Further with some of these products, I'm not sure there was ever really a problem to begin with. But that's just me and I'm not near as highspeed or lowdrag as the Magpul guys. When I'm hanging **** off of my rifle, I try to keep it simple and idiot proof. Two-point straps just work for me and I don't really find myself needing the complexities of single-point, three point or bungie cords. YMMV.

As found elsewhere on the Internet, Ruger is apparently introducing a single stack 9mm sized like the PPS, PF9, and PM9. At least the sights on this model appear to be usable, unlike the utterly worthless sights on the LCP.

I run a CTR stock on my short barrel AR and use the attachment point shown in the photo you linked. No problems, although the CTR's design is such that the QD swivel will not rotate 360 degrees. The sling loop bangs into the butt of the stock and prevents it from rotating completely. I'd guess i can rotate it about 90 degrees before it bangs. Not an issue, really, but it might surprise or frustrate you as well.

I laughed... a lot. It's even funnier if it wasn't intentional.

I'm generally not a fan of padded slings on AR rifles. The padded area has an inexplicable ability to be in the way and annoy me, and these rifles aren't that heavy to begin with. Now were we talking about a .308 of some sort or maybe a longer, heavier AR (ie. designated marksman style) rifle, I might be more inclined to use a padded sling. That's just my personal preference though.

LOL... I see what you did there.

Done

Do yourself a favor and read this thread: The OFFICIAL "Which AR SLING do you use and why?" Thread! - M4Carbine.net Forums Before you buy, or before you buy your next sling.
