Where do you live? If it is in the Nashville area, my wife and I or perhaps some of the other regulars, would undoubtedly be willing to meet you and yours at one of the many gun ranges nearby and let you try out a few different handguns. Sometimes just a little "time behind the wheel" is all it takes to make a better decision. My wife and I have several 9mm, 45ACP and .38spl handguns. I do not at present have a .40SW but that is probably a little snappier of a caliber than your wife might prefer. Women often tend to favor the softer push-like recoil of the .45ACP to the abrupt jerk of the .40SW despite the .45 being the larger caliber. The offer is an open invitation. Just let me know. If you live elsewhere in the state, I'm sure others would gladly accommodate you just the same.

Any 5-inch SIS "Custom" models without rails?

Frankly the only "case" that this conservative would accept for Obama is a long wooden box. Any other case for him than that just doesn't work for me.

Just a little suburb rivalry to keep it interesting. Didn't mean anything by it.

I probably watch Family Guy way too much.

The guard dog scene was a hoot.

I bet that hurts.

Oh, well then. In that case I have some useful contact information for you should you ever find yourself the victim of a crime: Telephone Assistance for Individuals: Toll-Free, 1-800-829-1040 Hours of Operation: Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. your local time That's the number for the IRS. Perhaps the tax collectors will be of assistance, but please note that they are open only between the hours of 7am and 10pm. If something bad happens to you during the night, you'll just need to leave a voicemail and perhaps someone will get back to you.

re: Magiccarpetrides... I'm sure you know this, but +P is a very open ended term. Once it goes beyond SAAMI spec it can be labeled as +P by the manufacturer, but each manufacturer's idea of +P is different. +P is generally 10% higher than the SAAMI spec, but fudge factor is allowed. As you indicated, running it through a chrono is the only way to verify what's really happening once the wick is lit.

Nope. I overlooked adding that back in. It should be there now though.

The guys holding down the fort in the Green Zone think it's safer than other parts of Iraq too.

I know what you're talking about dralarms. I just need to add it back in.

I don't think we'd allow that. Dotsun, let me know what your post count should have been.

Thanks... I will forward that information to the funeral director tomorrow.

{cough} glock21sf for everyone {cough}

So... did you put the rifle on the top of the stairs with a bow on it and say "Come and get it! Come on! You can do it! What's wrong? Can't you wheel up here and get your gift?" On second thought, obviously not. She has the rifle and you're still alive to post this.

This statement probably won't get a whole lot of traction here.

And we have a winner!

"It's an 88 Magnum. It shoots through schools." Name that movie!

How about now? Less blue, more earth tones.

Repressed anger I guess. He also talks a lot about hugs. Maybe he needs to seek regression therapy to deal with something inappropriate that happened to him as a child. Or a good swift kick to the head. Sometimes that helps.

Nope, we are sending one as well. I've been pretty covered up with both the forum overhaul and trying my best to assist with those trying to ascertain what Mars' final resting state and place will be. Lesson learned: Make sure you have a will drafted that specifies all of these things!

Full Military Honors is what the director said to me on the phone earlier. I provided him with my cell number and told him to keep me posted on any developments. I need to call and let him know that we've hit a wall locally, and will pass along that inquiry as well.

Received and responded to. Thanks, David. I appreciate the effort and will keep you all in the loop.
