  1. PM sent.
  2. AD Closed. Thanks for looking guys.
  3. Struggling with my old standard of OWB these days. As OldIron mentioned above, I too have a few extra inches. Been looking to get a Hank's Belt, just haven't gotten to it. Keep saying I'll drop a few inches and then do it. Guess I'll look into these as well. Have never been this large before and I am not liking it at all. For those who might want to know...a 44 waist these days. Blaahh!
  4. If it were an auto trans...
  5. Nice start. lol. That Detective is a good looking one.
  6. Thanks guys. I was all set to grab this one...but I found something else!!! It starts with the numbers 4 and 5. I just HAD to buy it! lol.
  7. Guys, ran across this Ruger Charger 22 and got to wondering...can a brace or a stock be fitted to this? Just idle thoughts running thru my cobb-webbed mind. Also, were the Chargers done in a break-down model? Yes, I know I can look it up...but thought I'd give the residents here something to expound upon tonight. I know the 9mm version has this option, but the 22? Thanks.
  8. Watched the show way back then...but I have to say I can't remember the car in it. Wasn't particularly impressed with any of it but David McCallum. The only wone who interested me at all. Robert Vaugh was just horrible back then. As he was throughout his career.
  9. Nice. Sorry I wasn't here to harass you on it.
  10. Thanks. Just ordered one myself.
  11. Buddy, do you know if this will fit in an earlier model, not the 2.0? I would think it should, but never know these days.
  12. Actually, most of it was over the fact that I'd brought a pretty much brand new gun to the class. And admitted it. lol. I'd probably shot about 200 rounds or less with it, so some of the comments were well deserved. Well...he did use me as the class whipping boy. lol. Since we knew each other a bit, I got to experience the "correct vs incorrect" ways of doing things for the class. I was the demo guy. At least the demo dummy for that class. It was fun though. I brought up all those questions everyone wanted to ask, or should ask, but were afraid to. So I was always up front and being shown as the person being attacked and then showing all the reactions Buford wanted for the class. I didn't mind. I learned more than I thought I would that weekend. Actually did a 2 day course. About 6 hours of classroom, then on to the range for drills and then qualification shooting.
  13. Way, way back in the olden days...I took my carry course with a brand new Sig 40. Got laughed at by the instructor. Buford Tune if you must know. lol! But scored a 99 and Buford asked to shoot my pistol when the class was over. He was a straight up Beretta man and admitted the Sig was "OK".
  14. Agreed on the Khar. Had 2 over the years. Just could not like them. The 40? Well, not crazy about it, but like TripleG, I do have a gun or so with lots of 40 still stashed away.

    1911A1

    First off...I love the 1911 platform. Secondly, I'm not the most ardent in cleaning and lubing my guns. I do get lax with it at times. But I have been taught, and re-taught from personal experience that a 1911 must be 1...kept well lubed, and 2 realistically clean. Doesn't have to be spotless, but clean. My biggest problem is lubing, I admit it. But the 1911 likes "wet" not dry. It doesn't have to be dripping, but if you can pick it up and get an oily feel on your hands...the odds are you are keeping it properly. Some will run with less lube, some with more. You have to find which way yours prefers. JMO
  16. Recently...that has been me. At least according to my wife.
  17. I'll certainly keep an eye open! Been absent recently, but watching for a GT Bowie could get me back more often!

    Arthritus

    CBD cremes work wonders on my arthritis. Thumbs and fingers. Especially gripping a big pistol frame.
  19. As of late Saturday afternoon...Inglewood ranged from 3.99 to 4.19. Yes that hurt when my 20 gallon tank was on "E", but not as bad as it is for guys traveling with their camper trailers and big buses. I'm sure you guys saw the news blurb the other day about the 970+ fill-up on the big RV. That had to hurt!
  20. I've had the 43x in my possesion. I really liked the size and the feel of it. Especially with those 15 round mags. Alas, this small, lightweight package was too much for my arthritis. Pretty stiff recoil for my hand. That's just my experience with them. Otherwise, I liked the 43x a lot.
  21. Don't feel bad, buddy. I had bought a Sig 365XL and was feeling pretty good about it...until this appeared. lol.
  22. I've been saying that for a long while. Like about January of 2020. I didn't believe a word of the origin story then and I still don't. Even if I had thought of believing any of it, after a few words from that weasel Fucchi I would have.
  23. A single man can sometimes be good. Mankind as a whole sucks.
  24. Why not...I'm In! XL
