  1. Why google when all the knowledge I need and trust can be found right here. Or don't you know either?
  2. OK I've heard hippy before but what is a emo. Nothing, I suppose, like a emu.
  3. S&W M&P for CO SP, IA SP, NM SP, NH SP http://www.smith-wesson.com/wcsstore/SmWesson/upload/other/ColoradoStatePatrolOrder.pdf Smith & Wesson Receives Order from Colorado State Patrol Contract Represents Fourth State Police Department Order for M&P Pistols SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (January 28, 2008) --- Smith & Wesson Corp., announced today that it has received an order from the Colorado State Patrol for 850 of the company's Military & Police (M&P) Series of advanced-design polymer pistols. The Smith & Wesson M&P40, chambered in .40 S&W, will be issued to each officer of the Colorado State Patrol to replace early-model Smith & Wesson pistols that have served as the primary duty firearms for the department. Officials at the Colorado State Patrol indicated that the M&P pistol incorporated several key features including enhanced ergonomics and ambidextrous controls that are valuable for their officers. The department added that the polymer pistol's interchangeable grip sizes, ease of maintenance and ability to disassemble the firearm without pressing the trigger were all primary factors in their decision-making process. The M&P40 was selected after an extensive testing and evaluation process, which included various competitors. The M&P40 pistols will replace the department's existing Smith & Wesson Model 4006 pistols. The contract with Colorado State Patrol represents the fourth state police department order that Smith & Wesson has received for the M&P pistols. Other full-conversion state police departments that have selected the M&P pistol for use in duty include the Iowa State Patrol, the New Mexico State Police and New Hampshire State Police. Currently, the New Mexico State Police issues four categories of Smith & Wesson products to its officers. Along with the newly acquired M&P357 pistols, the department also issues Smith & Wesson M&P15 rifles, Model 637 backup revolvers, and Smith & Wesson handcuffs. The New Hampshire State Police and Highway Patrol divisions currently issue the M&P45 pistols to their officers while the Iowa State Patrol selected the .40 S&W caliber polymer pistols. Leland Nichols, President and Chief Operating Officer of Smith & Wesson Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Smith & Wesson Holding Corporation, said, "We are extremely pleased with the continued success that the M&P pistol has achieved in police departments across the nation. Contracts from agencies such as the Colorado State Patrol allow other departments within the state the ability to access their testing and evaluation results, saving those smaller agencies both time and expense by streamlining their own selection process. Smith & Wesson will continue to support the professional law enforcement community with new product additions to the M&P line and we especially look forward to continuing our partnership with the Colorado State Patrol." The M&P pistol features a Zytel® polymer frame reinforced with a rigid stainless steel chassis and a through-hardened black Melonite® finished stainless steel barrel and slide for durability; a passive trigger safety to prevent the pistol from firing if dropped; and a sear release lever that eliminates the need to press the trigger in order to disassemble the firearm. A loaded chamber indicator is located on top of the slide. The firearm also features an ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release, as well as an enlarged trigger guard designed to accommodate gloves. The M&P40 has a 15 + 1 capacity and the Smith & Wesson lifetime service policy is standard with each pistol. The M&P pistol series is available in 9mm, .40S&W, .357SIG, and .45ACP calibers. Compact versions of the M&P pistol are also available for concealed carry and back-up use.
  4. It's a company phone and these are the only choices the IT department has given me. At least I get to choose from the three rather than here's your new phone. Looks like the Saga is leading at this point.
  5. Thanks TGO David. You must have found the hurry up switch. Much better now.
  6. You're right. Much slower today. Maybe I was in some kind of time warp yesterday.
  7. I've heard the Blackberry is great but it's not one of the options I have available. I have to go with one of the three I mentioned. But thanks!
  8. I need to get a new phone for work. I'm pretty much old school. I use a phone as a phone and to check my company email. I know phones today can do more than that but I'm pretty clueless. I want to get the best phone that I can and maybe would use other features if I could figure them out. The buttons and screens are so small it's pretty frustrating. Here's my three options, all from Verizon. A HTC Touch Pro, a Samsung Omnia, or a Samsung Saga. I know there are those of you that consider these things essential to daily life and have a much better understanding of the features and functions than I do. Which would you choose and why? Thanks for any advice.
  9. The more you shoot it, the more you'll like it. Not so much as a hiccup from my M&P40 and accurate out of the box.
  10. Good morning all
  11. going and going....
  12. one for today
  13. But I always wear full body armor when riding. Not really, I just had seen this a couple of weeks ago and got a chuckle out of it. Thought it fit with the holes in the arses comment. It was meant to make you smile, not fire you up. I'm suspicious of any organization that has "fed" in their name.
  14. Apparently others have noticed a connection between Glock and AD. Not in very good company according to this: http://www.consumerfed.org/pdfs/Firearms.pdf
  15. The guy with a gun is my hero for the day. The talking head is at the extreme other end of the spectrum.
  16. Everything on the TGO site seems to be loading faster this afternoon. Is this just me or has anyone else noticed this?
  17. I once picked up a gun and held it for a couple minutes at a show and thought about buying it. Then someone else bought it. Does that count?
  18. I know this will make many of you sad, it did me, but my wife ate the biscuit. The latest batch had no faces.
  19. please no pictures
  20. too much information
  21. Lived there before
  22. too many people
  23. hot and humid
