Alright, I'll play devil's advocate for you. Don't do it. You'll hate yourself in the morning. It's too big, too heavy, and way too expensive. There. Did that help? No? Then go get the freakin' Sig.

Glad you like it. Seems like a gun that has a small place in the gun world. I would like to pick up one at some point as well. As you know, lots of negativity about the Judge in all its forms, but I'd consider it at least as useful as some of the monster caliber guns in production today.

I'm puzzled too. The comment that you have to have an FFl to buy and sell at a profit? I'm not fussing at Strick, I'm really curious. I've not heard of that. What about anyone who trades at a gun show and gets a better deal than the other guy? Could that not be considered profit? I've traded guns that were bought sometimes years earlier when I decided for whatever reason to let go of them. Some I got ahead on and some I got behind on. And some I lost my but on because of impulse buying and hating what I got after shooting it. I know none of us like coming in behind in dealing, but usually someone does. Usually me. But no one forced me. No one held a gun to my head and said "Buy this at a great profit for the seller of I'll shoot." We all decide relative worth to us on an individual basis, if it's to high...walk away. But I'm not aware that it is illegal to make a profit, even here. Is it a TGO thing, or have we all misunderstood this thread and transaction?

I'll pretty much echo the senitments of others here on the keltecs. I've had a P32 for about four years as bug and pocket carry It's light, snappy with the right ammo, pretty accurate for no sights. With practice, 6" patterns at 20/25 feet is doable consistantly. But, Practice with it! Stay used to the long trigger. Run a few round thru at each range session. As for ammo, I practiced with fmj and winchester silvertips , using the latter for carry. Then found some prvi partisan fmj; liked it better than the winchester and kept it loaded withe the pp since. I would recommend the 32 over the 380 for all the usual reasons--caliber similarity, etc, and the ease of getting 32 ammo. Had a first gen PF9 and absolutely hated it--Long sloppy trigger, harsh recoil and fte's. Sold it as fast as possible. I do understand the newer version is better.

That's the problem.. it's simple for a bunch of computer geeks, not for everyone else.

A short-haired border collie/blue heeler(?) mix. Has lines, legs and body of the border collie, and the coloration and markings like the heelers. Sweet, lovable, hyperactive bundle of love. Rescued from the humane society when her owners couldn't handle her at 12 weeks old. Molly is 18 months now and still allows us to have a small portion of the bed at night.

Never owned a Kimber. Seems like a love or hate relationship with them from what I hear and read of them. Having no personal experience with them I won't degrade them. I have had several SA guns, among them a Lightweight Champion Operator in a Commander style 4" barrel. I can say that I find it to be the equal, if not the better of 4 1911s I have currently. And one was a considerably higher priced gun with a matching reputation--a Performance Center SW 945 Micro Pistol. The springfield is more accurate, feeds anything I put in it, and was priced at about what you are finding. As you can guess, my vote would be for the Springfield.

I was there, Guess I just missed it. Going blind in old age. But I'm looking forward to it also. Really like the idea of a semiauto 22wmr. I'vve got an old S&W K frame, a 4'' Combat Masterpiece that is an absolute dream to shoot. A little loud, but very accurate. The only complaint I ever had... it would lock up after about 15 rounds. Had to cool down and wipe it down before firing again. Had a good smith check it out and was told that the frame/cyclinder tolerances on it were so close because the pistol was produced as a target gun and probablly not shot much until I got it. Anyway, a little filing and fitting and about 15 minutes had it corrected.

Very subtle, you little devil.

So is the Rabbi!

You don't have to sign in to take the test or get results. There's some other tests there too. Some are even fun to take. Well...maybe that's a bit untrue. They're at least not too long.

Mike, where'd you see the prototype? BTW, I ran an bodyshop parts truck thru Arrington for Keystone up until last year. Did we possibly meet?

So i'm the idiot who just had to read the mall ninja saga and take the test. Great. Maybe Rabbi can come back, retake the test, and make me look better?

Mousegunner. Thank you for this posting! Between the orginal Mall Ninja saga and yours and Dixiegirls' lists, I been laughing so had I've cried and choked at the same time. This should go into an archive with the Voldemort and grammer police threads!:cool:

I am so ashamed. I just found this on mousegunners post. I'm 40% mall ninja.

Thanks. Unfortunately for you, I've noticed a similarity in comment patterns from some occasional postings. You are brilliant, but somewhat demented.

The Cougar mentioned above is a good choice but I like my CZ 2075. Very good size. Accurate. A little snappy but not bad at all. I think I'd prefer it in DAO instead of the SA/DA configuration I have now, but thats just a thought. Still a very good gun.

Pardon the rant. It's late and the drugs are kicking in. Don't get me wrong, I meant it. And enjoyed saying it too.

Appeal from a stranger. Reconsider...Don't remove yourself from something you are obviously passionate about and derive pleasure from. Granted--I don't know you and the cause of your decision. It is assuredly something you feel strongly enough about to remove yourself from the forum and the source of the agravation. I have taken similar actions and had cause to regret it in time. You say you enjoy the forum and your friends here. You have given and taken information and enjoyment; that is evident from your comments. Your comment about rightwing lunatics interests me. I am not terribly intelligent, but I would consider the majority of people here could fall into that catagory simply because the love of, and ownership of firearms is usually enough to lump us into that catagory. Also granted that variants of right vs. left politics and personal philosophies abound here. Personality, morality, and political sentiment also. I would say that most of us are aggressive and outgoing personality types, not to mention strongly opinated and less than completely tolerant of, or capable of stepping outside of our comfort zones in relation to our beliefs to accept differing sentiments. That pretty well describes me. I am opinated, stubborn, intolerant of others who disagree strongly with me, sarcastic and caustic of wit (or half-wit as many have told me), and have been thin-skinned to the point of taking personal offense to a point I disagree with. Especially if about something very dear to me, in which case, right or wrong, win or lose in discussions/arguements; I will pack up my toys and go home. But, I'm learning that isn't always the best thing for me to do. And this forum has helped in that regard. I've read comments that made me scream at the screen because some idiot threw out lines that were totally opposed to my thinking. I've thought that some of these insane tree-hugging, global warming, Al Gore brainwashed morons, and save-the-earth from the humans nutcases have no place here and shoud be evicted for the benefit and betterment of all. That left-wing, Progressive, Socialists in sheeps clothing, wannabe communistic politicos who believe their ideas of life and country are better than mine simply because their social, economic, or educational standings are loftier than mine. I could go on, but I'm sure you understand. And truth be known, I'd still like them gone. But it won't work. Then I'd be Them. All I can do is keep on enjoying the topics I find interesting, informative, or entertaining. And as you know there is no shortage of the other side--idotic topics, stupid questions, morons with faulty, twisted minds just full of crap that infuriates me. And yet I stay. Why? Because I'm selfish; This place is mine. I consider it a place of rest for me. I can come here and laugh at the monkeys, scream at those with the wrong opinions, lifestyles and politics; and learn from those smarter than me. And that's most of you. Well, some of you. I've had my comments in postings laughed at and poo-poo-ed because they didn't fit with the senior guys opinions. I've had nasty return comments and probably given a few too. I've thought some of these egotistical snobs should go pound sand. The same for those with derogatory and inflamatory comments about military, social, and governmental issues and people I care about. But you know, I'm still here. I don't have a lot of time left to me so I'm staying and enjoying all this insanity I can. So, Muttling...don't let those loose cannon, crapheaded, dingbat, environuts, Rightwing extemists, Leftwing extremists, middle-of-the-road undecisive idiots, and general loudmouth malcontents run you away. Stay. Come back. Don't leave. Whatever. Just don't give up. Don't give any part of your precious life and time away because of jackasses like me on a forum. If you don't agree with them, rant, rave, go talk about it with a buddy. Go cap off some rounds. Relax. I apologize to everyone whose time was lost reading this, and to those offended by it...in the immortal words of the great philosopher of our time....Opus PPPHHHFFFFFTTTTT!!!!

^ I concede. U 2 Win.

I thing we're all just giving TGODavid a hard time to see how far we can take this thread. I know everyone here is having fun with it, I sure am. Can we extend it to surpass the adventures of Voldemort?

My orginal safe came wired with outlets so I've used golden rod units with it. My second, larger safe, wasn't wired. So I used one of the mounting holes in the base and ran a line thru it and sealed with caulking. I am not really thrilled with my new safe, it doesn't seem to have as good a door seal on it. So being the paranoid that I am, I also have one of the Remington units I found on sale in it. It seems to work well, but as Magic said, they seem to need recharging pretty frequently. And lately I have been giving some thought to a room dehumidifier. My safes are in an area with a concrete floor and we have a humidity issue because of a running spring under the house. I have a haz-mat cabinet I found at a great price for ammo storage, so I really think the room dehumidifier is in my future. The local Essex store just got in some LG and Sears units selling for about 30 bucks, so that's my plan. If anyone is interested, I'll post my thougts on the results later.

The soundtrack from Trueblood season 1. Quite an interesting mixture of cajun infuences and about everything else. Nathan Barr's theme song is fantastic and hauntingly addictive. As is the show.

Right on both counts!

We older farts must stick together. Some of these young whippersnappers (man, really dated myself on that one, didn't I?) need to kept on a tighter leash and brought to heel occasionally.
