We never seem to throw anything away. Wife's shop, once a garage, is full beyond belief! Sadly, the attached garage is my hoarder's lair. I almost have a path from front to back.

Envious!! I had one of the Dreaded MSAR versions for a while. Not bad, at least to me; but I really didn't know much about them. Finally sold it for more than I paid, and bought a couple pistols with the cash.
-
That may be happening! Just need to learn how to post pics so I can tease you!

XXXXXBuddy...I'll take it. PM sent.XXXXXXXXXX OK...I have been talked out of this purchase!! LOL!!! No actually Smith was kind enough to point out a few things that would affect my using this pistol. The arthric hands to be exact. His suspicion is that if I hadn't liked the G43X, I would most likely not be very happy with the 920. After reflection, I believe he might be right. We've dealt with each other enough, that I trust Smith and his judgement. So this is open for the first cash going to Smith! For the sake of clarity, I asked Smith some questions, and he gave me straight, honest awnsers. It was my choice to not proceed with purchasing the MR920. I admire Smith very much for his honesty. Would you try to talk a man out of a sale if you were convinced it wasn't right for the buyer? You have to respect that kind of integrity. I do.

I tried to watch one years ago. Got bored quicly...wasn't enough T&A! Just a lot of gabbing about themselves!

Well said sir! I've been saying this all along. Yet most people don't seem to understand that just because Biden says it's so...You just can't magically produce all the extra electricity overnight. Nor do they understand the problems in cost of manufacture and disposal of the EV products. I sort of like the idea actually, but we just aren't at that point where it's feasable yet.

pending Beretta 92 Volunteer edition - SPM on 2/4
hipower replied to NickinTN's topic in Firearms Classifieds
Sorry Nick for jumping in on your post, but since your post way back when...is responsible for my buying this Beretta, I just had to. Thanks for cluing me in on this fine piece. Now sell fast before I make my wife upset by wanting a second for a shooter! -
I'd love to double my current stash. A hundred rounds or so should do it!
-
Been there. Done that. Many times. LOL.

Useless reply here. I totally wish I could afford this! It's a hellavua package! GLWS

What model CZ are you wanting? -
pending Beretta 92 Volunteer edition - SPM on 2/4
hipower replied to NickinTN's topic in Firearms Classifieds
This may or may not be true, but one of the tales on the Tennessee Beretta floating around back then is this. Supposedly a shipment of pistols destined to become Wilson Combat specials were turned down by WC. I don't know why. When they were returned to Beretta, rather than destroy them and take a loss on the order; the big-wigs decided to do a bit of work and the slides and sell them to the public. I heard this story several times, as I said, have no verification on it. Sounds good anyway. -
As Grayfox54 says, know what you're capable of doing before "customizing." My skills are such that I would not attempt many things I see done. My eyesight and hands are not good for many changes anymore. I personally buy stock condition and generally leave it as is. My only exception to this is a few I've bought from 2 gentlemen here, whose abilities are known to me and this forum. Although these pistols were slightly modified, I knew these men and their reputations and work for items like triggers and sights.
-
INSANE! Owning is ok? Just can't mount it? Sounds like the old auto-knife days when they could be sold; it just wasn't legal to carry them.
-
A solution, yes. But most that I know of, have these braces on items with barrel lengths of less than 16".
-
What's the official and unofficial proscribed methods of "getting rid of it?"
-
Nosey guy wants to know which forum it is. lol.
-
Those grips are gorgeous! Do you remember what they're called and where you got them? I've got a 4" Mountain Gun they would look fantastic on! Thanks.
-
Was it the one on a cold, wet, and windy day? I was at that one.
-
I believe this! Mine brings up an incident from 40 years ago every now and then. I don't think I'll ever be forgiven for it.
-
Yeah...I always wondered about that.
-
Equally good was El Dorado. If I remember correctly, El Dorado was JW's "corrected" version of Rio Bravo. Seems he didn't like it and did a remake to suite himself.

DAMN...she was a FINE looking female!

Just spit-ballin' here...but would a mass meeting of members be of any use? Just to guage actions and reactions? If I had the space, I'd offer our place for a meet, but couldn't really accomodate but 2/3 people.
-
Lots of ambiguity there. I'm still not sure where it all really stands. As for the 120 day "free" registration...I really don't know what I'd do if I had such a creature.
