  1. M&P...for all the above reasons, plus it just looks better.
  2. Bil has one and really likes it. I've run a few rounds thru it and find it acceptable. The trench site takes a little getting used to. Personally, for the cost, there are other small-frame guns I'd get. Don't know about all the particulars, but there have been several recall notes on them so far.
  3. Brrrrrrr. I hate snakes. Glad you're ok. Good shooting and reaction. Watch out for a mate to this one.
  4. As others have said already...Thank you. Stay safe. we look forward to your return.
  5. Well guess how I feel about the Browning Hipower? My Belgian model was the third pistol I bought, right after a Browning BDA 380. My first purchase was a pos German Police trade-in, the HK4. Anybody have or had one? It was so bad, I took it back to the seller and traded it in on the BDA. Anyway, really love the feel of the hipower in my hand. Fits perfectly. Just as comfortable as a 1911. JMB was a genius with designs!

    Brother

    Thank him for us. I will pray for him as well as all our service members.
  7. My wife and I watched it last week. Very good, thought-provoking movie. Much better than Gamer. Wife was drop-jawed at the end twists. Definitely will try to watch again.
  8. I hope some of you watched the segement "I'm a Good Ole' Americam" Wonderfully done.

    My New Colt

    Absolutely Georgeous!! The jeweling on hammer and backstap are beautiful. Did you consider on the trigger too? And the grips are aces.
  10. All of the above. I'm a Taurus fan and I woulndn't do this trade. In a nutshell, you're giving a good carry gun for an oversize piece of questionable worth. Althougth, I'd like a judge, there have been too many unresolve issues with them yet to purchase one. And for you to give money between them is just not even right. If you want one, save and buy it outright. You will be much better off and a lot happier in the long run.
  11. I know, like me, you took one on a trade and can't get rid of it.
  12. Still, I'd check with Sig Customer Service Center. Shouldn't have ramp issues on something this new and they can take care of the mag problem at the same time. I'm not the most experienced guy here, but those are two issues I wouldn't want in a carry gun. And check with your seller, maybe he can furnish information or posssibly sales reciept for the pistol. But I still think Sig would stand behind a broken feed ramp. I know the mag problems are getting resolved for people.
  13. Chunk out of the feed ramp? See you dealer and send it back to sig.
  14. Totally Agree!
  15. Ditto! Double for me. My BIL is building my first AR, not anywhere as sharp looking as yours though. Congrats on a great SBR!
  16. Jamie, you're too young to remember those good ole' Fords. One of my friends had a 65 XL500 2-dr with a 390 and C6 tranny it was a beauty.
  17. Congratulations on your permit. And may I second the holster purchase. When you buy your xd(?), check out holsters at the same time. Doesn't have to be a real expensive one for your first, but look them over and try them on. Try the fit of your gun. Release and draw pressure Inside waist band, outside waist band, belt slide, try all you can. Please resist the temptation to buy a cheap kydex first. They do have their place but you'll probably put it in a drawer like me. My personal preference is leather after buying cheap ballistic nylon and kydex and having a box of mismatched parts. And if you get the xd, don't think the belt unit supplied with the XD Gear will be perfect for your pistol. Most I've seen are poor to average fit and a pain to draw and reholster from. Anyway, JMHO. Have Fun.
  18. Most of you guys make me feel older than I am, I had a lot of those great old cars. However, my first was the family sedan: a 1962 Ford Galaxy 500 XL, with the 390 Interceptor Police Package. A local Sherrif ordered the car but the county refused to accept it because it had carpet, floor mats, chrome trim, and a radio. My dad found out about it and bought if. A great old car. Like most of us, I'd sure like it back now. I made lots of memories in it.
  19. My wife once worked with the DEDE Wallace Center and had to deal with DHS pretty frequently. Thirty years ago they were a well meaning agency an did a lot of great work, But in this liberal, nothing goes world today, just saying "spanking" or trying to discipline a child in public will bring a world of hurt on you. Something like that picture could bring everyone from DHS to BATFE down on you because someone didn't like the picture. "Why that child is in an intolerable evviroment with all those nasty old assult maching guns lying around for him to get into. He will probably shoot himself playing at best or grow up to think those ''illegal" things are good at worst." We have to be careful in even jokingly posting pictures these days.
  20. Currently using 185 jhp in my SA Operator. The round feeds well, is very accurate and my old wrists really appreciate the slightly lessened recoil on them. I usually practice with WWB 185 and keep Golden Sabre, Speer Gold Dot for hd/pd loads. So far, the little 4" has digested every 45 load run thru it.
  21. Anyone remember the orginal imported under the Jericho name? Some came as a pistol pack with both a 9mm and a 41AE barrel and slide. I think I'd prefer the 45 setup.
  22. hipower

    h&k usp 45?

    I am personally biased since I own several 1911s and a SA Operator. Love'm all. Especially the Operator. But like previous comments, I think you have as good a pistol, if not better, than the offered trades. And if you're not getting cash as you wanted, and you like the SA 1911, unless you just want a different gun, why trade? Just my opinion.
  23. Who let tha dawgs out? Woof! Woof! Who let tha dawgs out? Woof! Woof!
