  1. Scrapping CCW laws, and allowing law abiding citizens to freely exercise their 2nd ammendment rights would prevent such errors. As it stands today, a legal scholar who specializes in gun law would have trouble knowing and interpreting all the nuances of carry laws in 50 different states, not to mention staying abreast of the yearly changes in each state. Having said that, I don't believe ignorance is a valid excuse for violating the law, and I do not defend the woman's actions. Greg Herbert Lafayette, Tennessee
  2. Looks like you did a good job!
  3. I'm interested to learn whether or not it shoots to the point of aim. If so, I would consider doing the same upgrade to my RIA Commander.
  4. What;s the difference in a right and left hand model?
  5. I've found this set to be invaluable, along with an inexpensive set of needle files. A good cleaning kit and a cleaning mat are must haves as well. You can't do much without a Dremel tool either.
  6. Nothing wrong with my RIA! It isn't quite as pretty as my Colt, but shoots just as well, if not a bit better. Mine has a pretty good trigger. It has yet to have a failure to feed. It is a fine handgun. No conplaints whatsoever.
  7. Please post a video of this.
  8. Honkies are so cute when they're little!
  9. He can own one now. He isn't able to buy one from a dealer until he's 18.
  10. Classy folks! I must be the 1%, because these morons do not represent me.
  11. It sounded like a war broke out here this afternoon. Welcome to Tennessee.
  12. I'm a revolver guy to the bone, but my LCP sure spends a lot of time in my pocket! I'll bet you'll like yours as well.
  13. I got a couple of books I wanted, and the DVD set of the History Channel's show, "Tales of the Gun". Also had a great day spent with the family.
  14. My oldest son got a Colt M4-22 today, and I can now give a report of it. It had two stovepipes with the first mag, and no more failures ofter that, with the entire family burning several hundred rounds through it. It is more than accurate enough for plinking, buy I've yet to really test it's accuracy potential. I can recommend one wholeheartedly! I like it because it has a dustcover, forward assist, and other options found on a genuine M4 that are absent some other models. I also like the picture of the pony on the side.
  15. My boys must have been good this year, as Santa filled their wishes. The oldest asked for a Colt M4-22, and the little one wanted a 410 Shotgun. The weather was perfect this afternoon to give them a go. The family dog even chipped in, fetching unbroken clays. Hope you all have a very merry Cristmas as well.
  16. Scotch and diesel fuel tastes about the same to me. Right now, they are also competitive in price!!!
  17. I'd personally keep it unfired, but it IS yours, so make yourself happy. I'd guess Garufa is close with the $850 figure. That's a darned nice Christmas present! You must've been very good boy.
  18. Your post made me curious, so I gave it a try this morning. I wasn't happy with the 10 yard groups, always having one stray flier, shooter induced I'm sure. Anyway, here's my attempt at a 7 yard group. Not quite 3", but close. The cold hard truth is that I need to practice...A LOT!!!
  19. Has your friend showed you he can do this, or just told you? There are guys who sit around the local gun store here who can shot golf balls with one at 100 yds, although I've yet to actually witness it.
  20. A day spent with the young uns is always a good day.
  21. My father has a model 52. It looks like the 39, but that's where the similarity ends! That gun will shoot!!!!!!!
  22. 1) A German Luger, dated 1940, Mauser MFG., 9mm 2) A pristine Smith and Wesson 39-2, 9mm. 3) A Rock Island Armory 1911 A-1 Commander, 45ACP. My two sons, ages 8 and 13, and myself all shot till our hearts were content. All guns quite accurate. They are quality firearms in good condition. The Rock Island by far being the least expensive. Here's what I learned: The Luger jammed several times with my youngest son shooting it, but was reliable when my oldest and when i shot it. The Smith and Wesson jammed every shot with my youngest son, and a couple of times when my oldest son shot. It was reliable for me. The Rock Island was the only one of the lot that was 100% reliable with all three of us. It was also the most accurate of the lot. I believe that the Luger and the Smith are sensitive to limp wristing. I further believe that the old adage "You get what you pay for" doesn't always hold true. We all three had a great time. I still prefer revolvers.
  23. Evan Williams black label is o.k., especially for the price. Heaven Hill is the nastiest available, and should not be on liquor store shelves.
  24. Makes me feel a bit better about my job.
  25. Thanks. I did carve it. I'm not all that great at it, but a piece of scrap makes for good practice. That design is over 100 years old, and I've yet to hear of a negligent discharge because of it. Were I concerned about it, however, I would suggest only buying holsters that cover the triggerguard. Not sure how familiar you are with a revolver, but it takes a pretty good tug on the trigger to discharge it. I can dig up many photos on the web of famous FBI agents, peace officers, Texas Rangers, etc. who carried a similar style as a duty holster.
