I know there are a lot of really fine little 380s out there. I recently got rid of all of my 380s and went to 9mm. There's just one 380 I could not part with. This little honey is just too sweet to part with. The slide is silky smooth, nights sights and the trigger is crisp but not too light.

    I love my CZ. It's my range warrior. It's accurate, good trigger out of the box (not great), very low recoil for 9mm, night sights, 18 round magazines and totally reliable. You would think I would use it for home defense but I don't. It because of the extra weight. I have a few pistols that are lighter, even though they have more recoil, than the CZ. I prefer a lighter handgun if I am going to fight in a phone booth. (Tight quarters).

Bob Bowen is a guy I work with. He is a great Building Automation Technician but is passion is photography. He just got back from Yellowstone. The highs were in the twenties and the lows at night were in signal digits. They found a fresh kill and set up cameras. After several hours the wolf pack returned and he got these pics. The black wolf was several hundred yards away. Bob said it was very rare to even get this close to a wolf pack. The link below is to Bob's photos. he gets a big kick when people visit his web site. The Bullfrogs he photographed make me smile! http://rdbowen.smugmug.com/Nature

Bloody Friday off Guadalcanal. More sailors died fighting the Japanese fleet, at night, with their big guns, than Marines fighting on the island.  So many ships were sunk off Guadalcanal that they named it Iron Bottom Sound. This was some of the bloodiest fighting of World War II. The Japanese chose to fight at night when the US Navy and Marine aircraft couldn't fly. The Japs had a secret weapon called the "Long Lance" Torpedo which ran on oxygen. The US Navy was out numbered, out gunned and out trained. The Japs underestimated our resolve and courage.

The Marine Corps has a fine rifle training class. :usa:  :rock:

This man is insane. Hates America. Hates guns. Loves Mohamed.     http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2091786/Liam-Neeson-considers-converting-Islam-following-trip-Istanbul.html

 Dubai? Really? Americans who own guns are a disgrace yet the corruption and human rights violations (slavery for one) in Dubai, that's OK?  I goes like this: There is a construction boom in Dubai. They get poor Asians to come over with the promise of high wages. When they get their they find out they are basically working for enough food to keep working. When they try to leave, their passports are held by the construction company so they are forced to work until the job is finished.......slaves.   I'll keep my gun and will be a slave to no one. I will never give Liam Neeson another dime of my money.

One word. Mayonnaise !  Thanks France. No Southerner would eat a Tomato Sandwich without it.

I'm a little old for that. This is what I had.

There is one word you will never, EVER, hear Obama say and that is "Liberty".  I'm all for it. If you have earned the right to own and carry a firearm you should not be hindered. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights is one of the greatest documents ever written in the history of mankind.  The men who wrote it were a lot smarter than anyone gives them credit for. Just read some of the things they wrote. Brilliant!

      I wish I had a dollar for every time someone complained about a plastic mainspring housing. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a plastic mainspring housing. It there were then Colt and Kimber would not use them.

If it is in the original box and is in real good condition then $450 is a premium price. The model 10 is a classic handgun but they made a lot of them. If you are going to buy it as an investment, the price is too high. If you are going to shoot it, then you will put so much money in ammo through it that the price makes little difference.  I can shoot $100 worth of ammo easy in one range session. I have shot more money in ammo through my model 36 3", than I paid for the gun.

The sound is better coming off a quality turntable. Back in the 70s, it was all about sound quality, with big speakers, big amps, vacuum tubes. People are starting to realize that there is more to just owning a little "light" box with every song ever made on it, listened to with cheap poorly made speakers. I recently gave my son all of my LPs like: Beetles White Album, Lynard Skynard, George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers, The Pretenders Learning to Crawl, Doc Watson's best off album, The Steve Miller Band, Leo Kottke, Brain Salad Surgery  The Cars Fleetwood Mac Stan Lee Jordan. Blue Oyster Cult.

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'll tell her that tonight, everyone in the world gets the best gift ever. Tonight our savior is born. Merry Christmas!

   What do you say to that? 

When I went into the theater I was sure this movie would suck. I was wrong. It was a great non stop action film. It finished up the series nicely. The first movie was kind of slow. The second movie had that ridiculous scene inside the mountain where mighty Smaug was chasing the tiny little dwarves around but just couldn't seem to catch them. It was like a Tom and Jerry cartoon. The "Five Armies" showed Smaug as one badass dragon. Of course I could write a long list of how the movie strayed from the book. The tallest giant of an Orc was nearly as tall as a man, according to Tolkien. But this is Peter Jackson's movie.

I think the Cubans are ready to buy some new cars.

There is nothing like a good book. The kind made from paper and ink. 

When did people start sticking objects inside the trigger guard of a handgun before they photograph it? Why do they do that?  I think the reason people do it is because they see other people doing it and they think it's "the hip way" to take a picture.

I have seen the USS North Carolina on display in Wilmington NC. It was the first Battleship to enter Pearl Harbor after the attack, brand spankin' new. The harbor was a wreck, full of oil and sunken ships. Thousands of men were working to get the harbor cleaned up. They all stopped to cheer the North Carolina. She was a fast ship, going in harms way. During the Guadalcanal Campaign she fell victim to the deadliest spread of Torpedoes every fired from a submarine. Six torpedoes were fired from the IJN submarine I-19. Three hit the USS Wasp and sunk her. The three that missed traveled over two miles where they broke the USS O'Brian in half and put a 20 foot round hole in the USS North Carolina. The "Showboat" never broke speed and shook off the hit like a champ.

Babyface Nelson, was shot seven times in the torso with 45acp from a Thompson sub-machine gun and was shot with 00 buckshot, eleven pellets in the legs. He still gunned down two FBI agents, got into a car, told his girl friend "I'm done," I was driven away where he later died in bed. 

  Our Navy is the undisputed ruler of the oceans and the seven seas.  No one else comes close. No other country is willing to dispute that nor do they have the assets to challenge it. Those Tube Jockeys can be anywhere and nobody knows it. The silent service............

I was never in the military. My reward for not being in, was not having to be in the military. That's all I get.  When all you soldiers, sailors and Marines are honored, I stand aside. I don't deserve that honor.

I have read The Hobbit many times. This will be the last Tolkien movie. I will be there.  I do not like 3D movies. I prefer to have the entire screen in focus. With 3D the background is often blurry. I grew up going to movies. I feel comfortable in the theater, especially now that I can concealed carry in them.
