That would be the most logical place.

No rule against it.

The last time I asked about it, Guns & Leather said that they would do lay-away and I think Hero Gear does as well. I'd defer to representatives of each shop for clarification on that.

Maybe we'll just do away with buying and selling here all together. The point of this forum was never to be a swap-market. If you want that, there are better venues for it. The forum was established to discuss gun ownership issues; buying and selling between members is ancillary to the purpose of us being here. The bugs that exist within the current trading post system were being worked on by the author of the software. I have not checked on the status of it for about a week and a half. In case you hadn't noticed, I've been busy with a family emergency. We won't be changing away from the current trading post system unless it is to do away with it entirely. Suck it up and deal with the minor inconveniences while we try to resolve the problems. If you don't like that, there's always www.golsn.com

Thanks again, all. We had a nice family get-together for Thanksgiving today and my wife and I were reminded of how much we do have to be thankful for. So many parents who lose a child mid-pregnancy like this never even get to see their child, let alone have a few hours with them as we did ours. While it may not compare to seeing him grow from infancy to adulthood, it was at least a few hours that we will jealously guard in our hearts for the remainder of our lives.

Thank you all.

As some of you were aware, my wife and I were expecting a son due in January. We had to rush to the hospital around 2am Sunday as she was having premature contractions. After a few tests were done, an emergency cesarean section was performed very early Sunday. Our son, Landon, was born at 33 weeks; about 6.5 weeks early. The medical staff was able to stabilize him, see enough of a "fight" from him to warrant transferring him to the Vanderbilt NICU, and did so shortly after lunch Sunday. We received a call around 3pm that his condition was fading fast and that I needed to get there as quickly as I could. Not sure how I made the 30 mile drive in under 15 minutes but either every cop in Nashville was on break or God cleared a path for me. I was able to hold him during his last moments here on Earth. Landon passed away from an overwhelming number of medical complications at around 4:20pm Sunday, in my arms at Vanderbilt. At this time I am asking that everyone please refrain from sending PMs. It's just a little overwhelming and almost impossible for me to reply to each and every one and I feel absolutely obligated to do that. Instead, if you want to post in this thread I will reply as I can. That way anything said more or less carbon-copies to everyone. Eddie (Molonlabetn) will be handling most of the general admin duties in my absence and the rest of the Moderators will be taking care of business as always. I am indebted to all of them to this end. Thanks. --David

Jerry is a gamer. The off-set reflex optic is pretty common among the gaming circles. It allows the operator to transition from a magnified optic to a reflex optic by simply adjusting his cheek weld. Some of the industry professionals (combat guys, not gamers) over on M4C have said they could see marginal benefits for it on a combat carbine, but I can't recall reading where any of them said they were running a trick setup like that on a fighting gun. Several manufacturers make pic-rail adapters that allow you to get the 45-degree offset needed to run an Aimpoint T1, Doctor, etc in that fashion. I'd have to Google it to find more info, but you could do the same so I'll just leave it at that.

I know way too many people who are addicted to WoW. Seriously addicted.

I knew you were. Just saying... some people are devout when it comes to SIG firearms.

Oh, so it's available for the PC??? I was going to sink money I don't really have into an Xbox 360 after I saw the demos for the game. This may be my saving grace.

To some people.

I have bought and sold through Gunbroker. No problems, but as others have said you need to do your research on the item and the seller and make sure that you're covering your bases. Again, the transaction will only be as good as the seller allows it to be.

I try to stay stocked up, so no... I didn't buy anything extra today. The idea seemed pretty silly.

Agreed.

Bookmarked it for later reading. Thanks for sharing this.

Tried any of our vendors?

I'd probably leave my Glock alone in respect to the grip size, but I know plenty of people who have tried my Glock and said that they would have wanted it smaller or larger (depending on the person). The angle is a little funky if you prefer that of the 1911, but there's no doubt that it "pre-loads" the wrist somewhat to compensate for muzzle flip. I'm actually thinking about getting another Glock 19 to have as a backup. Or maybe a 23 to have another option.

I'll let Marswolf address this one... And another Marswolf quote from a thread in the Staff area... I'd link you to the original post but you couldn't read it.

Should we all post pictures of our fully assembled ARs in this thread now and torment you mercilessly? Congrats on taking the first step!

I had one for a few months. Very accurate, very reliable. Unfortunately it was also heavier than, thicker than, and carried the same number of rounds as a 4-inch model 1911. To me, it made no sense to carry the SIG when it was bulkier than a 1911 but had no distinct advantages over a 1911 other than being... well... a SIG.

I transmit the feeds wirelessly to a DVR backpack that my 100lb male Doberman is wearing. If the thief wants to try to fight him for the DVR, he's welcome to it but we're going to end up with plenty of DNA evidence and probably a finger (for prints!) or two in the process.

I'm sure we could afford to lose one of our older C130's provided that the crew had chutes but the passengers didn't. Mechanical problems happen frequently.
