  1. I have an XD40 Tactical and ended up trading for a Glock 22 last year. Personally, I don't think there's enough difference between the two to fuss over. Both shoot very well. Both are comfortable in my hand and I have a most agreeably low cost in each. The only thing I really can say is that I prefer the grip safety on the XD now that I've shot both enough to break them in. But to confuse the issue, I prefer my Glock 30 to the XD45.
  2. Ok, some really great ideas here guys. And for what it's worth, here are my picks: Babylon 5, Space Above And Beyond, FIREFLY, Moonlight, Flashforward, Surface--but only for Lake Bell, Invasion, Dinosaurs, ALF, and very surprised no one mentioned The Tick.
  3. I agree, David Lynch is one seriously strange dude.
  4. Thank you for awnsering and proving that my impression and assesment was correct. I can be a smartass too,at times; so I'll not hold it against you. But I will say you'd make a lot less of a negative and irritating impression here by dropping the fumbling, uneducated immigrant act.
  5. This question has plagued me, and I dare say others here for long enough. Is strel for real? and I mean that in a literal sense. Reminds me too much of an agitator. The broken grammer and syntax. The spelling and broken English. The misuse of of words and bad spelling. Upper and lower case letters randomly used. The roughly formed phrases. Then...a perfectly formed sentence with no ambiguities, no question of the meaning or intent of the wording. I really am beginning to feel like there's a rat in the woodpile here. This guy reminds me entirely too much of kwikernu. All bs and enough knowledge to do real damage to others. Does anyone here know strel? Personally? So I ask again...Strel, are you for real? You just don't add up to me. If I'm wrong here, I humbly apologize and will take my chastisement and deservedly so. But I really question all this. From your first posting and comments; I've felt like you were silently laughing at us all. I've worked with immigrants both legal and otherwise. Those who spoke English and some who didn't. My former job had me in contact daily with shops and businesses operated by both legal and illegal. From all the usual countries and the different nationalities we find in middle Tennessee. And I'm still puzzled as I read the threads you post in. You really do puzzle me. As an immigrant, you don't really come across as one who appreciates where you are and the opportunities you have here. If you disagree so much with the way things are here...Like has been suggested...try California or someplace else. And if this gets me kicked out...it's been fun.
  6. This is a little off-track, so please pardon me. I have no long term experience withe the PC wheel guns, but I own 2 autos--a 945Micro and a 4013TSW. Both are accurate and fun to shoot, but a little finiky with ammo and need to be well lubed and fanatically clean to function properly. My brothe-in-law has a PC952 that is a dream and doesn't require quite the care mine do. I have handled and shot several PC revolvers, among them several Thunder Ranch variants, and a couple of 44's and a 41 mag. The revolvers in my opinion, are much better and I would, money permitting, would like to have one...or two... Anyway, I'd put them in a class with the best of the Colt Pythons, and maybe even better. If you've got the bucks, go for it.
  7. +1 on the LEO trade in's. I've had a couple as well and except for some holster wear, they have been great. And for what it's worth, I have a G22 and find it great. However, my favorite at this time is the G30--a great little powehouse in 45. Light, accurate, and not a problem since I got it here from a fellow member.
  8. Doesn't matter, too many witness still alive to deny any of it.
  9. The only speed issues I have with the site are because of an old computer system and an even older non-computer-literate dinosaur on the keyboard. Wel I do have one other speed issue...but that's for another thread.
  10. Maybe Steven Brust? His books' cover art is fantastic.
  11. You know this just keeps getting funnier and funnier. I'm kinda gettin' used to the picture. It almost brings back memories of some of my college frat parties.
  12. I LOVE IT!!!
  13. Well said, Lester.

    Bad English

    Sorry, Mike, but I hear you the same way.

    My taurus PT1911

    I agree, I've always wanted a 38 super. Heard so many interesting things about how great a cartridge it is on a 1911 frame. But I always seem to find something else instead. There are just so many things out there to choose from and so little time and money. But now that I've got the PT1911, maybe I'll look into a 38 super kit for it. Yeah, that's an idea.
  16. Excellent old work. Had a really interesting substitute teacher once in about 4th/5th grade who read that to us. I believe she was responsible for getting me into sifi.

    Great choices all the way around. Especially like the ct grip plans. I've got them on several and really love them.

    whoohoo...!

    Try a glock 30; that will change your mind about the compacts. It's one of the best shooting short-barrel, polymer pistols I've ever had.
  19. My 2 cents worth---Xd45 Tactical. "Nuff said.
  20. Sleep...spider solitare...read some Tom Kratman/Caliphate. Love the slide graphic, btw.
  21. To quote Bill, the Cat... "Ppphfffttt"
  22. Actually, I think i like it.
  23. Congratulations. And a Happy Fathers Day to you. I've toyed with the idea of a PPk occasionally, but never jumped in. Maybe someday.
