Videos of the lines at the testing sites are incredible! Fear seems to have returned. That's all I have to say.

Wish we weren't so far apart. I would love to ad this to my small DE collection! GLWS

Ann Margaret. One of the most beautiful women ever! And such a sexy voice!

Yep. My downfall as well. Everyg just looks and smells so darn good!

YES. That is true. Bad feet, back, and just generally a slothly sort of guy has packed on a bunch in the last few years. And it's dang hard to move it off!

Sadly, he looks like a few members of my family. That could account for the poor driving history. Well, that and the fact that a few 'shine runners just might have been involved.

Thank you...you old coot! Now although for a variety of reasons, I'm finding it really hard to get into the appropriate mood and spirit this year; I wish only the very best for all here, and around this nation and the world the very best this life has to offer. Merry Christmas my friends, and may God Bless and keep us all.

This is a joke and a free bump for you...feel free to dop it some more and old broke guys like me might start sweating. Now truthfully, I own several Caniks and have a great liking for them all. Trying very hard not to go after the all white "Signature Series" pistol. lol After all, who needs an all white pistol? They are great shooting, accurate, and triggers that rival any stock out of the box gun I own; short of a 1911 that is. Great pistols, and with that light...I can't help but wonder why it hasn't sold yet.

Now that's just not right! A classic thread that yielded some of the funniest posts ever! And the (in)famous Kentucky Conan Pic! I got more laughs out of that one than you'd ever believe. Showed it to many, many people. With many and varied reactions. lol

For some strange reason...I sort of identified with it.

Wow!! That's a mental image I haven't thought of in a long, long while. LOL! You really need to find it and repost that pic! Just for grins'n'giggles.

Very sweet pistol! Having fired one last spring, I can appreciate what it is. However, as much as I would like it...not possible at this time. So let my opinion out there for buyers. You won't be dissapointed in this fine pistol! GLWS

50cal cans with dessicant packs are my primary storage manner. Rounds left in factory packaging. Oldest commercial ammo is roughly 15 years old. No noticable difference in it and "new" ammo in safe. I ran a room dehumidifier in the room until it gave out. Now have "Golden Rod" units in each safe. With the temerature variance here in TN; in cold weather I have a small space heater set to 56 and a fan to circulate the air. I actually think my precautions border on overkill, but better safe than sorry. As far as age on ammo, I have shot 45acp that my Dad loaded in the mid 60's without issue. Also some Military 45 Ball that may have been even older. Same results. Unless you are flooded out and all your cans cover in water for a 24 hour period(I use this timeframe because it happened to me), standard ammo cnas with good seals will hold up for decades without problems. My opinion...not a professional nor a Holiday Inn guest. Now I do have some 38 spl and 9mm that were exposed to the above conditions that have discolored cases...but all have fired. So far anyway.

I'm with you buddy. All the way. What was once a wonderful time has now become a season that I'd just as soon pass on. That is as far as the secular side of it anyways. But...I'm proudly ALL Grinch!

Thanks guys. I'll look very closely and try to compare the 2 models/manufacturers. Leaving hints with my wife, so hopefully I will see one soon.

Yep, as I've said before; chemotherapy is a double-edged sword. Most of the times it kill cancer cells. sometimes other tissues as well. Chemo drugs within the last 8-10 years have been accepted by our cocs as a cause for neuropathy. Mine, in 08/09, told me it couldn't happen. Next year the medical community decided the drugs were likely the cause of so many patients getting neuropathy issues. Mine started slow, and now are at a pretty high level. Gabapentin is a first stage joke. Doesn't help much. I was on 3600 mg per day and was ready to be bumped up until I asked for something different. Pregambolin/Lyrica was and as far as I know still the next level pain drug for the neuropathy symptoms. I've been on it for almost 3 years and it does help. Not a cure, but it does help. Tramadol is the next stage, according to my medical staff. LOL! Yeah, you guys in our situation will understand that line. I have taken some Tramadol, but not on a daily basis. It helps, but again, it's not a curative. Just masks the pain. Now about the CBD cremes...I use one produced locally for athritis in my hands. It works. That's all I can say. I have used it for knee pains as well, before and after knee replacements. Again, it worked there as well. Better than some of the custom pharmacy mixes and at a third the cost. I'm getting a stronger mix next time to try on the foot pains. Been using 1000 and 1600 mg mix for the arthritis. But going for the 2000 for my feet. DJTC45, I'm there with you on the foot pains. Slightly different though. Lack of sensation. Horrible balance. Can't easily walk on an uneven surface. The once satorial use cane is now a must. Provides a trpod balance for me. The pains are sharp. Searing, lightning bolts as I call them. In the heels and thru the ankles and insteps. Thankfully not constant, but frequency is increasing. Swelling and tenderness, can't seem to get a comfortable sock or shoe. Using the diabetic socks now. They help. Hard sole shoes work best for me. My beloved New Balance walkers and running shoes are for short term wear only. Like around the house. I find myself really missing walking. Always thought we'd start long walks and travel. Life sure does get interesting in the curves we get. Never thought that 3 years would make such a difference. Gone up almost 2 shoe sizes now. And the 4E width is a must. Anything less is torture from the get-go. Wish I could offer more insight to our problems fellows, but that's all I got. Prayers for us all.

I've been seeing the ads for Stikeman quite a bit lately. Anybody got one? Used one? Any comments or opinions will be welcomed. Thanks,

My 2 cents worth. He's gonna try and hang all the blame on the young lady armorer. Now with his director buddy backing up Baldwin's "I didn't pull the trigger" tale, it's almost a given! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!

I'm "affectionally" known as THE GRINCH in parts of my family. I think my 2 light up Grinch ties, my full head grinch mask, the small collection of Grinch toys, and the 6 ft motion activate...singing Grinch from a few Christmas dinners really solidified my official standing. Plus...I too hate people in general. They are lazy, worthless, greddy, and uncaring automotons. As individuals, some are worth saving. Not many. But some. And most of them are on here!

Well...that was quite a read. I won't pretend I understood all or even a portion of it. But there are things in this to really make you wonder just what is going on. And even if you don't believe a word of it...can you read it without getting a real bad feeling for our future? I couldn't. How much, if any, of this document is true? I guess that's up to you to decide. Personally, I see some scary truths in it. Sure maybe just a lot of coincidences and bovine scatology from any source you care to name. But just enough to give me pause. I need to talk this over with my medical resource staff...my wife that is. She has steadfastly declined any vaccines. Her choice. She could be correct in doing so.

Great! I haven't seen or heard this in decades! lol! Truth. Last time I saw it was with an old buddy in Cookeville. Can't remember the year. There may have been some brownies involved.

LOL! Yeah, I could have made it easier, but I was in a hurry and just threw out the model number. I bought it years ago. My late brother-in-law was working in a lgs and called me up one Saturday afternoon. Said he knew i like strange stuff, and that I should get there asap. Wouldn't tell me anything more than that it was a Smith 9. So I truck on down and he shows me this nice looking revolver. I was a bit disappointed, and asked where was the one he thought I'd want? He told me to look closer. I actually had to look at it for several minutes before I realized what it was. Laughing, I said I didn't know S&W did a wheelgun in 9mm. Short version is that I asked how much and took it home with me. Shot it a few times since, but not more than 50-100 rounds at most. Been offered a few lowball amounts from people, but not near high enough for me to part with it. Not really wanting to...but never know. Maybe sometime. I actually have another S&W he wants, but it's on my very short list of not selling. Got a Performance Center 945 Compact. Blued. It's a hoss!

Been looking for one of these. Sadly they come in 2 variations...very good and very high priced. Or...rusted out and a very high price.

As an old fat man who wears and NEEDS suspenders, I agree with you. I've been loitering on the site as well. I just have a fondness for leather holsters, and Galco has some reall good products. The one you bought is my choice as well.
