MacGyver

Welcome. I like the Micro Eagle in .380 and the Walther PPS in the baby 9mm format.

You know...I bad mouth Kel-Tec all the time. In saying that, though I think my attitude about them is influenced more by a few of the Kel-Tec owners I've known over the years than their products themselves. I always wanted one of the Gredel p-30's, but know it had A LOT of issues. This is basically the same concept. I may have to pick one up to play with. Maybe it'll get me to come around on my thinking on Kel-Tecs in general.

I also made some stops at a few Wal-Marts while traveling by myself yesterday. One in Atlanta, one in Dalton and one in South Pittsburgh. I wasn't looking for anything in particular, just wanted to see if the other stores had it as bad as we seem to. South Pittsburg had a pretty healthly supply of 9mm and 40, but outside of that, all of the shelves were pretty empty.

I love how the finish on the grip safety has been worn down by the oil in someone's hand. You can tell that this is a trusted weapon.

As someone who spends a lot of time in courtrooms, find a way to work this out without getting involved in a suit if you can. In so many cases in modern business litigation, it doesn't really matter who's right and who's wrong, it's all about the money. Litigation is really expensive, and so often the party in the right (assuming you in this case) still loses because they spent so much on litigation.

I had the pleasure of shooting a .303 Enfield when I was 11. I've got a mark on the bridge of my nose from where the scope bit me. To this day, that is my standard point of reference when judging recoil. If I fire it, and I'm not bleeding when I'm done, then I just need to suck it up because it wasn't as bad as the Enfield.

Without the government spending like there is no tomorrow, the economy is still locked up tight. And, I really think the other shoe has yet to drop. Commercial real estate collapse, personal consumer debt collapse, major terrorist event, Israel deciding enough is enough with Iran, etc... You name it, it may yet get a lot worse.

If I were going with a red dot, I'd have my eye set on the Aimpoint Micro T-1, or maybe the H-1 since your weapon is stainless. They aren't cheap, but they won't leave you wishing you had something else.

I put Crimson Trace laser grips on mine. They were a total splurge, but I've ended up really liking them. They hold their zero well, and are a lot of fun.

This may be proof of why actors shouldn't open their mouths unless they're repeating lines from a script. I didn't really take it as an assault on capitalism. Anti nanny states - yes. anti uberpowerful corporations - yes. Corruption of power - yes. Anti-capitalist - not so much. Mind you, this statement is coming from a free-market capitalist, so take it for what it's worth.

Finale was pretty good last night. I won't post any spoilers, but thought they wrapped it up pretty well. I initially thought I would have done the last 30 seconds differently, but thinking about it some more, I'm okay with it.

Yeah, with 2 episodes a night it's hard for me to block out time as well. Luckily on Comcast, AMC played them at 7&8 and then again at 9&10 so I was able to watch after I put the kids to bed.

I have a feeling I'll be picking this up when the DVD set comes out.

Anyone watching AMC's remake of The Prisoner? I was always a big fan of the original series- even though it originally aired 6 years before I was born. I was curious to see how a remake would fare, and so far have been pleasantly suprised. I think it pays proper homage to the original while dealing with issues in today's world. Overall, I rate it worth a watch. On a related note, I think this would be a great way to get us past the bane that has become reality television. I know the networks produce the stuff because it's cheap to make, but it would be pretty cool if you got some great writers/actors together and make some shows with the understanding that they would only run one season. That way, you don't have to worry about stretching out plot lines to have something for next season, contract negotiations with actors who think they have eclipsed the show, etc... You could just have one season of a great show with a great story.

Wow. Glad you guys made it through okay.

Welcome.

That is truly deplorable.

Nice report. I wouldn't mind picking one of those up.

Those are really nice. I wasn't familiar with the pinned and recessed term. Not being a Smith & Wesson guy, I had to look it up. Pretty cool.

I use my Mark III in my survival kit. It's primary use is small game on the run, so it's sighted at 50 ft with the ammo I use.

Nice dude.

I was really impressed with David Bullard recently. I ordered 4 holsters and a new belt from him. While I think he is a one man shop, he responded to my email within a day, worked with me to get my stuff like I wanted it and I had them all on the 29th business day after placing my order. I can't speak highly enough of him and his work. I know he's in Texas, but I'd love to see him there.

They're big enough for it. If there is one thing our military is very good at doing, it is taking command of a bunch of navel gazing whiners and teaching them that the world is about more than just them, and that there are things out there that are more important than you and what you think. It's an option that would do a lot of people some good.

As someone who was in One World Trade on September 11, and spent 9 months there afterward, love Bush or hate him, no one can accuse him of not doing what he said he was going to do. I truly mourn the loss of togetherness and patriotism that was present in the days and months following September 11. We have made a lot of mistakes in the time since 9/11 and the Bush administration certainly made some of those. That said, I am and will always be grateful that President Bush was on watch, did the best he could with what he had, and that his support for our troops was not used as an opportunity to stump, but was always humble and heartfelt.

Any idea of price on these?
