I start at 20% and move up from there. As an example my wife and I ate at Red Lobster tonight. Our server was very attentive and quick with whatever we requested. Our glasses were never more than 2/3rds empty before refills were brought and we were brought more cheddar biscuits (yummy) without having to request them. She received a nearly 30% tip (just south of $10 on a check just north of $30) One odd thing that we do though is that we pre-bus our table (plates and bowls stacked and everything grouped together at edge) don't know why or how we started, but we leave as small of a mess for the busser as is possible.

Just installed the RAM and DCAEK kit and from dry firing there is only one word to describe the difference. WOW. Very clean, smooth trigger pull with a light crisp break . No more mushy indistinct reset, it is now short and positive in feel with an audible click. I can't wait to get this thing out to the range and see how it operates there. S&W really ought to just install these parts stock. If you have a M&P you need the Apex DCAEK and RAM.

I'm not a Kimber fanboy, in fact, I don't really care for them. However, when I read this article I didn't get the impression that the Kimber's were crap. I got the impression of a state agency that likes to buy new toys every couple of years and wants to do so again but this time needs to blame the manufacturer as an excuse for the purchase. Also, I would put money on somebody's cousin, uncle, brother-in-law making some money off of this deal. I can't wait to see how much those Kimbers end up on Gunbroker for.

My wife has an SR9c for carry, and I very nearly bought one myself for carry. The newer models have definitely fixed the trigger issues. In fact, I think it has a much better stock trigger than my M&P. I did remove the mag safety from it, that takes all of about 5 minutes. It is a very accurate little gun and I do like that it comes with a full sized mag w/ grip extension giving you 17 in your reload. Leaning towards and 1911 grip angle, the backstrap flips around to replicate either a flat or arched mainspring housing, I thought that was kinda neat. All in all they are great guns and if not for a few intangibles along the lines of "I just like it better" I would be using one now as my EDC.

That was definitely a seriously lowball non-offer. That was an offer that said "I'm not really interested in what you have to trade in, so let me offer you an amount so low that you won't take it."

I have more respect for the actual prostitutes, at least they are honest about being whores.

Ordered the D/CAEK and the Reset Assist Mechanism yesterday. We'll see if my smithing skills are up to the install when they get here.

Regardless of price, carry what you can competently use. Likely though any of the Glock/XD/M&P pistol lines would do you well. Go to a range, try out the different guns they have buy one you like best.

Win.

Nice, looking forward to the update & pics. I very well might be picking one of these up.

This is a universal maxim across ALL Service branches.

Can we get "SHUT THE F**K UP POOLIE!!" as a macro or sumthin? I mean really.

I think I resemble this remark. Considering the direction the money flows, wouldn't Magpul be the whore? I wonder if "John" isn't a more appropriate term for me since I am always left with a lighter wallet and an desire for more...

I am pretty sure he is referring to the intention of many of the founders for the U.S. to not have a standing army as they were distrustful of them. The intention was to raise an army only in time of war, and allow the unorganized militia to be at the ready if needed for actions less than full scale war, hence the "When called into the actual Service of the United States" portion of that clause. Sometimes, however the needs of reality frustrate the best of intentions, and the fact that we have been in a semi-constant state of conflict over our 234 years just doesn't allow for the military to stand down in the way the framers would have preferred. Though the argument against the constitutionality of a standing army I believe is fatally flawed, it cannot be fully dismissed as it definitely was the desired position of many of the founding fathers.

I just got one too. I really love this little guy.

Big gun, Short lived. Taurus 28 Gauge Revolver. | The Firearm Blog ATF ruled it a Short Barreled Shotgun.

He had a good run, 96 years is a long time to be awesome.

Once I get it out to the range I will have a better idea, but I would like a crisper reset.

The grip safety on (used to be) my pt 1911 was stiffer than other 1911's I have handled. I believe that is intentional on the part of Taurus. You will likely end up adjusting the sights, mine also shot a bit low OTB. The Taurus factory mags I had also had issues with locking back. I would recommend doing as I did and buying some CMC or Wilson mags and letting the factory ones for the range. I sold it yesterday and already miss it.

This is the note that was included at the end of an email from Guns America

According to an email I got, Taurus has pulled the Raging Judge and decided not to make it after 1.5 days at shot. I think the NFA reality just came home to them.

Oh Lord, here we go again....j/k I would go with a diesel. You never know when the ability to run off of reclaimed vegetable oil will come in handy. Not being facetious at all, totally serious. A diesel is about as close to a multi-fuel vehicle as you can get. Plus, engine longevity of a good diesel is somewhere around twice that for a gasoline engine for the win.

Was he wearing special boots to climb the walls with?

See if Capy will let you borrow his. You know he will probably have the first one to hit Memphis, LOL.
