  1. I saw a few minutes of this show last night. Looks pretty cool.
  2. The trigger pull is miserable. It gets a little better if you remove some of the stuff they added to settle with glock, but it's still pretty miserable. Reliability is a toss up. I've seen some perfom well, and other have ftf's every magazine. They do seem real picky about mags - even S&W stamped ones. I did just have a friend go all the way through a 1000 round defensive pistol course with one. The pistol did okay. It's tough to manipulate it one handed because of the ramped sights. I wouldn't trust my life to one. But your girlfriend may form a different opinion after shooting one. I'd definitely try to shoot one before you buy it.

    "Good" Entry 1911

    I've got both a Rock Island Armory Tactical and a full custom 1911. The RIA is no custom pistol, but it's a great entry 1911. You won't regret that purchase. You will purchase more 1911s.
  4. Interesting. Let me know if you find out more.

    Dozen

    Congrats on the anniversary! That's a great story.
  6. Talk about deforestation. A bunch of cars running on steam boilers? Or maybe some stirling variant?

    This may be the proverbial pot calling the kettle black, but has Jeff Quinn ever reviewed a gun on that site that he didn't like?
  8. You're lucky to have a friend who raises it. If more people realized the quality of life of their meat, they would spend the time to find a source.
  9. Forensic Specialist. I really didn't have any problem with it. I used a super long blade, and a careful sawing action. The Pelican foam is pretty dense. Maybe more dense than what you are using. That definitely made it easier. Your hot wire attempts look pretty good. There's probably a business in there somewhere. I'm imaginging a large format scanner that will take an outline of the weapon and accessories. A cad program to lay them out, and a big CNC router to cut the foam.
  10. I hope you guys know the farmer you're getting it from. Otherwise, you're getting the same CAFO raised beef that may spend the last few weeks of its life with the option of going out into a pasture. Same with "Free Range" chicken bought at any grocery store including Whole Foods. They raise the birds just like they do non-free range birds. In a house. Difference in the free range birds is that there is a little door that they can go out the last week and a half or so of their life. If you ever see a free range pen, you won't see many chickens walking around because there is an all you can eat buffet inside the house. I like my meat as much as the next guy, but without knowing the farmers we're getting it from, we are all buying meat from the military industrial complex. Which oddly, brings us back to oil. We've got cheap food because of oil.
  11. Forget the electric knife and hot knife. With 2" foam like is typical in most pistol cases and in my Pelican 1750 you don't need them. Not that you can't use them. It's just easy to screw it up - fast. Trace your weapon and accessories as you want them, then just cut it out with a large x-acto knife. You just depress the foam as you are cutting it, and the knife slides right through.
  12. Somehow this discussion reminds me of this:
  13. Great news! That's great to hear.
  14. Nice. a 35 mile day in PA is a heck of a day.
  15. I don't know what the deal is. Every one I've ever shot has been great. Need a stronger marketing plan maybe?
  16. You can always have it at my house. I'll have to check with CENTCOM, but I think she'll go along with it. There's plenty of room. Three bathrooms. I'll even grill some burgers for everyone.
  17. Considering the number of states that have also passed some version of the Health Care Freedom Act, a Constitutional Convention might be one of the best things that could happen. Call it a sorely needed "Lesson in Democracy" for our elected leaders. I like it.
  18. I'm thinking it's this one in Giles Country near Prospect Google Maps Structure is the same as in your picture. Good luck.
  19. Good luck. Glad it all worked out so you could hunt. Be safe.
  20. This is a good time for some "community activism" as well. Make sure you let your neighbors know what's going on and to be aware when they are out and about. Walk in groups if you can. With a militant proposition like that, I'd think that a can of pepper spray through that passenger window would probably make sure he sticks around somewhere nearby until law enforcement can arrive. Oh...It's not too late for you or your neighbors to call the police, either. The more of you that call and report seeing him, the better.
  21. If you can hide that M&P in an OWB holster right now, you shouldn't have any issue with the Raven Concealment holster, as it really pulls it in tight. I've got no issue concealing my P99 with the light attached, and I'm 6'0" about 150 lbs.
  22. This is a fact. I ordered my latest Raven Concealment holster in early January and got it in late April. The real motivator for me was that they had a lot more light compatible options than anyone out there. Jay was great to work with. But, if you don't want to wait for it, you'd be better off looking somewhere else, or going to a gunshow that they're at.
  23. I use a Raven Concealment holster with my P99. I've got a light attached, so it's one of their Phantom LC models. It's a great holster. I can't recommend it enough. I'm around Nipper's Corner.
  24. I hope so too!
  25. First you have the "Glock Fowty" guy who shoots himself in the leg, then the examiner from Houston remodeling hotel rooms. Now this guy. Where do they find these guys? I'm as much for ear plugs as the next guy, but this is ridiculous.
