Hard find. Gunbroker sold prices are approx $2000+ for NIB ones like this. These were more $$$ than standard and loaded models.

Wow. The guy literally had only one job at the point the detector sounded off. No wands apparently? On the upside, they know the metal detector works.

I can ship to buyer’s FFL on buyer’s dime. As far as west, I mentioned I can meet within a reasonable distance. Imo that’s maybe up to an hour. My truck and I don’t really care where the compass points

I mean, I know @FUJIMO works fast....but damn

I’ve had the same kind of experience as you @willki. To get more out of it, you have to interact with interim result sets and direct it to get best results. I’m unsure how someone can get a full program out it as referenced. Programs tend to be very environment and data model specific normally…. but likely down to the interaction and information shared with it. I am limited as i can’t share data models. After years of working in SQL Server environments and transitioned to one with DB2 and straight ANSI sql, I love when it can translate to DB2 specific things with its set of misnomers and interesting attempts to emulate a SQL Svr method. I especially love throwing it a showy regex function that one of the IBM fans is super proud of and it tells me what it actually does with an example without having to look up its nonsensical control characters. Huge time saver. As far as the idea subs have of dumbing down. it’s no different than an encyclopedia on concept. The store of all human knowledge, but easier. Nothing wrong with readily accessible. My wish is it wasn’t censored.

agree, AI ‘s ability to cut to the chase and deliver usable results has noticeably improved for the tech sector. I was having some challenges connecting a third party client to Google BigQuery and it was helpful though it did not give a specific solution. The footnoted references saved a couple hours of scrolling thru search engine results. I love that it can save big time on emails. I find work emails a pain point. PC concise emails without significant rewriting are a challenge. when I remember, I give highlights and voila! Just have to remember to use it up front versus realizing 20 minutes into writing one and debating word choices. It probably would have made this post better too

Hoping you get the all clear in April.

Guns and Ammo email this AM had a list of top selling new guns in 2024 by category. Top (highest) wheel gun: Colt Python Smith’s wheel guns, nada. Mostly popular more affordable autoloaders as is typical. If you throw out the $500 ish or less options and look at anything near its price class, it’s toward the top across categories.

Great to see. But maybe a little too little, a little too late for me to buy another. Thank Colt. I think this is a direct response to sales losses as Colt’s recent revolvers are great and they truly stand behind them. Smiths problem is not just the lock. Their declining quality and non existent service for revolvers are the larger problems. As far as the lock, I did have a lock freeze up the action on my 686. It was either the first or second year of the lock, maybe contributed. happened right away out of the box. S&W fixed it and has been trouble free over 25 years. Old smith service. It’s a great gun Would love to hear them acknowledge and work on those bigger concerns. That is how they will win back those that have gone elsewhere seeking higher quality guns at their premium prices.

Shortened grip module (less rounds), reduced beaver tail, and 2 slide options including a 3.5”.

Birchwood pike is just up the road from me here in Harrison. It has a good deal of diversity as you drive one end to the other. Not too uncommon here in the county where you’ve got some nice homes on land mixed with trailers. It’s a major thru way, heavier traffic than most and has more than its share of crime. just a couple miles away, it’s much quieter without any incident to note. I don’t know if it’s just me, but that mug shot screams crazy old curmudgeon. Doesn’t it? Maybe ahead of the curve at 56.
