  1. If you have access to Sam's, check out the Vizio line. Good quality and the LCD priciing is dropping rapidly as the LED and 3D technology cones in.
  2. although I didn't take advantage of the posting offer this weekend; I really appreciate the event. David, this was a great thing for you to do for the forun members. Many thanks for it. I hope to be better prepared should you offer this again.
  3. Same here. Bought a PT1911 from a tgo'er in Murfreesboro, and it's been really good. But I didn't sell it when I got my TRP. I just hate to part with a good weapon when I get it.
  4. Had trouble with them as well...tried to order a knife for my brotheri-n-law and ran into the same issue--Can't ship into TN. And don't even get me started on the "free shipping" issue. I pretty much gave up on SG several years ago, and was really surprised when I got a new catalog the other day.
  5. I've not heard anything like this before, so I'm very interested as well. I have some inlaws with life memberships; so I'll be checking in with them to find out. Thanks, David for posting your question. This could be a great deal for a lot of us who would like to become life members.

    IMI baby eagle

    Yeah, I like the Jericho as well. Bought the 941 kit some years back and really liked it. But it has become somewhat of a safe queen of late.
  7. Lately, my Mod 66 S&W, glock 30, and my k22 Masterpeice in 22mag.
  8. For whatever reason, Bud Adams seems solidy entrenched behind VY. Vince being Bud's hand-picked QB says quite a bit about the possible future of Fisher as head coach. Adams has fallen on the VY side of pretty much everything that has happened to bring questions about the maturity and ability of Young. Fisher pointed out tonight that he has one year remaining on his contract and hopes to finish his career here. But, and these are my thoughts, not Fisher's, Bud Adams is very fond of Young and Jeff Fisher has not been a great advocate of Young, especially since being told that Young was THE choice for his (Adams') team right at draft time these many years ago.

    H&R 930

    Congratulations on the find. Those are sweet little pistols. I shot many, many rounds thru my dad's while growing up.

    new addittion

    Congratulations on the new addition. I don't have anyexperience with the Bersa line, but from all the commentary here, I sure am getting curious about them.

    new pistol

    Congratulations on the new addition. Don't own a 23, but the're nice. But I like my 30 better.
  12. I was In Eastside las week and checked out the Bodyguard 380. Personally, I didn't care for it. Hated the laser activation button, and really wasn't impressed with the trigger either. John showed my an LCR as a comparison for size...Guess what? Yeah...I bought it. Fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Felt great in my hands. Had a natural easy feel to pick up and have a good sight picture without shifting my grip around. Haven't shot it yet, I hope to take it out this week sometime.
  13. OK, I'll add to this as well. I've had a Colt Officer's Model since the mid-90's and have only put 2000 or so rounds thru it. But other than one mag with bent feed lips that frustrated me, it has digested everything from surplus hardball to hollowpoint SD. Granted, for me, it has become more of a range toy and most recently a safe queen. Also have a SA LW Loaded Operator and love to shoot it. Actually prefer it to the O Model.
  14. For whatever my opinion is worth...I've shot both and own neither one, but I'd choose the 23. Not a glock hater, I have a 22 and a 30. My personal preference of the four is the 30. Great shooter, Very accurate, and feels good on an owb for me. JMHO
  15. Ditto. I have the 44 ported Tracker also. Good, accurate shooter. Not real uncomfortable with magnum loads, but much more fun (and downright pleasant) with the special loads. And unlike my last ported cannon, it doesn't part my hair with the muzzle backblast. And for the record...that pistol was a Taurus also, a 2in in 45LC. It was a real bear.
  16. COMPLETELY AGREE. Bought a used 637 thinking it would be good for the older, weaker, arthritic right hand. Boy, was I wrong. But it's not too bad with Rabbi's 38 Plinky rounds.
  17. I'm a fan of the xdsc, but have you checked out the Ruger Sr9c? Really has a great feel to it, and the trigger is awesome.
  18. Another Zombie book...I haven't read it yet, but it was recommended by a store employee. It's a spoof of the Zombie Invasion Genre. The Zombies of Lake Woebegotten by Harrison Geillor.
  19. Sedona for sure! Beautiful hills, lots of color, woodlands, and desert trails available. If you have a rental, consider a ragtop for the trip. It's a little warm and dusty...but the scenery is worth it.
  20. Totally agree. Two mags should be the norm, but unfortunately there are quite a few manufacturers that don't agree with us on that. And the $35 seems to be the norm on .22 mags for the most part, at least the ones i can remember at this time.
  21. I agree. Sold a 220 several years ago to fund another purchase; another 1911 of course. I've regretted selling several times. I thought it a bit large and heavy as a carry for my taste. But YMMV. Personally, when opting for .45 carry now, it's usually a glock 30.
  22. I certainly hope so. Moss could be a definite help to the team's season. Even though he has the rep for being somewhat of a problem child; he's far from the kind of headache that Pacman and other "bigname" players have been. And even if he is on the downhill side of his career, he's still a high caliber player that should bring a level of consistancy to the recievers that we've been sadly lacking.
  23. Jamie, I'm so very sorry. Bless you all. Sorry I can't seem to link this here, but google "The Rainbow Bridge" and perhaps it will help.
  24. From the thread title, I thought we were going to talk about Forrest Gump.
  25. Yes, I've always thought that conceding the race with 2 to 5% of the votes counted was somewhat silly. Vote projections are exactly that--a projected educated guess.
