  1. Sweet!! Do mind telling the features and mods to it? Rough pricing? I'm looking into a full-size 1911 next.

    The Big Cheese!

    Make that Extra Sharp Cheddar!!
  3. God Bless You and Keep You and your Family. You will be remembered in my prayers.
  4. Welcome to Glockitis. Just recently got my second--a G30. Really like it better than the G22. Have been pretty much been a Springfield fan and still am, but...
  5. Foolishly sold both of them, but the prettiest guns I've ever owned have to be the beautiful blue 4" Python and the SS 629 44Mag.
  6. May god Bless and keep you and your buddies. Thanks for your Service!

    New .45

    No bad choices there. Got a Springer and a Glock. Would like a DW. Pick your favorite and go shooting!
  8. Point 1--The review is right on point for me. A very pretentious movie full of allegorical story and commentary...meant to further the cause of those wanting a non-technological society and lifestyle to "save mother earth from the evil human population." Point 2--As entertainent, if that's what Cameron accidently did while furthering the liberal agenda and propaganda of the movie, it was only moderatly good. It was full of vibrant imagery and color and wonderful CGI work. Probably the best ever. So it was fun to watch for some of us. Point 3--As a message piece, I felt like I was being beat over the head with the terrible way we have treated native peoples and destroying our poor, poor world. Can't we just have meaningless escapism in our movies again? Do we really have to be berated even when trying to remove ourselves from real world problems and just have a little relaxation?
  9. Not to change the subject from Avatar, but I agree ...BR gives the absloute best picture in today's market. Personal opinion. The BR player enhances standard dvd play as well, as most know. My first home BR movie was "50 First Dates" and we were blown away with the colors and scenery. I bought Avatar yesterday and am waiting for a time this weekend to watch, probably Sunday afternoon after meeting Erik88 for a little firearms business.
  10. Glad to see the fine arts of communication skills are alive and well in you young whipper-snappers.
  11. Well said, Murg. Welcome to TGO. Welcome to the fun.
  12. Ditto. I've sold a few of my firearms lately and usually tell them up front that I'd like a Bill of Sale or transfer form of a sort for my records. I've not had anyone object to this so far. It just seems wise to have documentation on your personal property to me. And when I've bought from an individual lately, almost every one has wanted to do the same.
  13. I'm sure it's pretty obvious. It was the first really good pistol I bought. Then I took it to a bowling pin match one weekend and learned why most of the guys were using 45's. After the humiliation was over, one of the guys said something to the effect of "Hey Hipower, get a bigger gun." So I kinda liked it and used it when registering on the forum.
  14. Amen, Brother! We must all be keenly aware of the actions necessary to retrieve ths nation from the liberal/socialist infuences funded by George Soros and his minions. As you say, the beginning is retaking the Congress; then the Presidency. And along the way, fighting to keep the Constitution from being re-interpreted/reinvented by the Judicial and Executive branches.
  15. :-\:drool:
  16. Well said.
  17. Humor and Intelligence...and sooner than I expected.
  18. Please stop this mugging while I reload my gun.
  19. How can you question and reject the sanctity of ages-old Southern dialectial tradition? Isn't it Karmel Apple pie? Karmel apples? Karmel toffee? Surely we can bend pronunciation just a bit for the Old South. Can't we? Ya'all ain't frum around hear air ye?
  20. You guys are making me want to go check out the M&P line. Stop it. I don't need another!....Yet.
  21. I think you have a well-thought out plan there. In most cases, I think having her husband do the teaching is a big mistake. As you say, ego and the "I know all about this" syndrome will rear its ugly head and cause problems. I learned the hard way when I first took my wife shooting. It didn't go too badly, but the tension was there and caused her to feel uncomfortable.I think the best course is exactly what you have outlined for her. Having your wife go with her will sure calm her, if necessary, and give support. A good pair of hearing protectors should be sufficient for her, with foam earplugs as a backup. I haven't bought new ones in quite a while, but most gun shops will have them and so will the sporting stores as well. I wish them well on this trip. Let us know how it goes. I have a 21-year old cousin moving to Nashville soon and plan to take her to several places and pick a course for her permit as well.
  22. Good Lookin' rifle there fella! Wanna donate it to a poor man short on weapons?
  23. Welcome from Nashville! And Thank You for your Service to our country!
  24. The times call for a complete and thorough evaluation of your situation in respect to ones job. Does a company policy prohibit carry? Can you have a weapon on company grounds? Does the area or the job cause you concern for your safety? These just scratch the surface on what to cover in considering going armed. My previous employer banned all weapons; even tried to stop the carry of pocket knives; on company grounds and in company vehicles. Most of us ran routes of 200/400 miles per day, carrying product and collecting for sales and due bills from customers. Oficially, this was the case. However, several did carry with the knowledge that it would cost our jobs if found out. So you must ask yourself if the lose of the job is worth the risk to you. Is your life worth more than the job? Each situation may be different, but I know what my awnser would be in the case of pizza delivery. Care to guess what I did on my job?
  25. I can't decide whether to cry or rage against this scum. One of the very few good things to come out of prisons is that most of those incarcerated will feel as we do and take care of this pitiful excuse for a human being for us.
