You mean the Colt Python?? Better than a 1911 or Glock any day.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
LOL! shup man!!

O'Bama will not let this stand. He will use whatever trick needed to defeat it.
I think that will be the mistake that undoes him.
If you remember, Bush attempted immigration reform with the same viewpoint that Obama has.
His approval poll plummeted to 30% and that's how he left office..with the lowest approval rating of any president, ever.
according to a poll on cnn, 51% of AMerica likes this bill 41 don't and 8% don't know. and that wasn't a rasmussen poll...this bill transcends parties and both parties know it.
Even a few of my liberal friends get angry over illegal immigrants.
70% of Arizona residents like this bill (I'm thinking the other 30% are either family members of illegal immigrants or illegal immigrants themselves.
Also, one thing to think about.
Gov. Brewer mailed a request for help with the problems on the border not once, but FIVE times. She didn't even get a response to let her know that they received her letters.
She repeatedly asked for help through various media outlets. ...Nothing
yet when she signs a bill to take care of the problem herself, Obama immediately criticizes it.
yeah..take on the immigration problem "mr. president"..
This guy is his own worst enemy! LOL!

this sounds like a problem for a retired man.
Now I know of a fella..he's a retired chemical engineer. I asked him about it. he says that he spends his free time in retirement converting Beer whiskey and wine into urine.
He doesn't seem to have a problem with his palate, or the order in which he does his conversions and suggests that in order to get it right, you practice daily.

Now I did not know that. Respect increase 100%
another thing you probably wouldn't know...those folks who knew him would tell you that he was as fast with his fists off the set as he was on the set.
oh..and some of his quotes?
"Tequila. Straight. There's a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won't go down. Then you know you've reached your limit. "
"If I have any appeal at all, it's to the fellow who takes out the garbage. "
"As soon as people see my face on a movie screen, they knew two things: first, I'm not going to get the girl, and second, I'll get a cheap funeral before the picture is over. "
"I love Marlon Brando. Never seem him bad, just less good. "

I know Jan. He might get sideways of a few folks about the best firearm ever made, but this SO doesn't sound like him.
he enjoys this forum and I can't see him flying off the handle.
the post itself sounded like he was replying to someone who was complaining about the board. LOL!

Exactly, of course, Brando, Marvin, Stewart, and a host of WWII era actors went to war, went in combat, and came back.
Today's "stars" are wimps.
One that I will remember? Jack Palance.
Palance was badly burned during WWII when a bomber he was piloting crashed; the resulting plastic surgery helped give his face its taut, leathery look.
He was born of Immigrant parents, from Hungary. He played bad guys and good guys.
but for me..the true tough guy would be Lee Marvin.
If you've ever read some of his quotes, you'd like him. The ones he made OUTSIDE the movies.
and the truest test of his character? he was buried in Arlington. No special headstone or plot, like many of the other actors who never fought.
Just a simple head stone with a cross and the words "Marvin, Lee, PFC Marine corps. and his birth and death date.

for one, the 357 is a better round, to my mind.
-for another, if you're comfortable with that pistol, KEEP IT..you're more likely to be more accurate with one that you know well, than one you barely know.
I agree with the other guys..hang out, wait to buy a 9mm. Keep the old standby.

It's not held in by a drift pin?

You may want to keep an eye out for FIOCHII .22 ammo. I was in Chattanooga last year and happened up on a case of match grade ammo. It was cheap and it shot so well, my wife has since shot it all up! she wouldn't use the cci, winchester or any other ammo while she was plinking.
Oh, and this is HER rifle. the one I'm not allowed to touch now that she has it configured to her body.
I bought it, but the closest I get to it is to reload her magazines and call her shots through a scope..
-
I'm waiting on the Glock 88 Magnum...you know, the one that ''shoots through schools"? Pay attention to my smiley!
Oh man, I shot pepsi through my nose on that one!!!
-
I've actually shot the danged thing..the muzzle blast is, to me, prohibitive to my aim. After 2 shots, I had to wait and let the blast disappear from my retina..
other than that? great pistol!
it was a light, plastic fantastic futura blaster, (thanks mark@sea, I LOVE that phrase!) that as several others have stated "has real world bonafides, not just some nerd doing the math on paper"..
I myself don't see any immediate need for a pistol that defeats body armor and I can buy more ammunition for a 22 mag or even a 22 pistol, for the money I spend on the FN's ammo.

This reminds me of a guy I spoke to once who kept asking me "where do I register my firearms here?"
I kept telling him that it's not a requirement in the state of Tn. but he kept phrasing it a different way...the question: So I don't have to take them down to the police station?
the affirmation: cool! I don't have to register my firearms in any way in the state of Tn.!!
the disbelieving question: You mean to tell me that I don't have to tell the state or local gub'ment how many and of what type of firearms I own?
I finally told him : Look, you don't have to register firearms in the state of Tn. and if you ask that danged question again in any fashion, I'm gonna stop talking to you because I figure you're a lunkhead who can't hear, or you doubt my veracity.
he just smiled and started talking about his preference for different firearms.

Oh yeah, I also returned the other garbage mail they sent to me. Maybe they will recycle it.
Mike, I would have stuffed it with a bunch of junkmail, wrapped in a sheet of printer paper with a note that said "since you feel inclined to send me junk mail, I feel inclined to return it 10 fold and let you pay the freight on it. Thanks for playing, you ARE the weakest link".

I simply marked that 2 people live here, and included this:
To Whom it May Concern,
Pursuant to Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution, the only information you are empowered to request is the total number of occupants at this address. My “name, sex, age, date of birth, race, ethnicity, telephone number, relationship and housing tenure†have absolutely nothing to do with apportioning direct taxes or determining the number of representatives in the House of Representatives. Therefore, neither Congress nor the Census Bureau have the constitutional authority to make that information request a component of the enumeration outlined in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3. In addition, I cannot be subject to a fine for basing my conduct on the Constitution because that document trumps laws passed by Congress.
Interstate Commerce Commission v. Brimson, 154 U.S. 447, 479 (May 26, 1894)
“Neither branch of the legislative department [House of Representatives or Senate], still less any merely administrative body [such as the Census Bureau], established by congress, possesses, or can be invested with, a general power of making inquiry into the private affairs of the citizen. Kilbourn v. Thompson, 103 U.S. 168, 190. We said in Boyd v. U.S., 116 U. S. 616, 630, 6 Sup. Ct. 524,?and it cannot be too often repeated,?that the principles that embody the essence of constitutional liberty and security forbid all invasions on the part of government and it’s employees of the sanctity of a man’s home and the privacies of his life. As said by Mr. Justice Field in Re Pacific Ry. Commission, 32 Fed. 241, 250, ‘of all the rights of the citizen, few are of greater importance or more essential to his peace and happiness than the right of personal security, and that involves, not merely protection of his person from assault, but exemption of his private affairs, books, and papers from inspection and scrutiny of others. Without the enjoyment of this right, all others would lose half their value.’â€
Note: This United States Supreme Court case has never been overturned.
Respectfully,
A Citizen of the United States of America
What can I say, I felt like poking the bear with a stick!

that I will be home in time to help with the range as well!
My wife has decided that she loves Tn. more than Kentucky so after 2 years of traveling around and living in purgatory (Ky.) I'm moving home!! wooot!!
*does the snoopy dance*
As such, I intend to look for a local job and try to pick up various quick tower jobs around the house.

Hmm. Really? $800? Ah, no. I wonder how much it would be worth in original condition...
I am just cursing myself for not taking that M44 Mosin still wrapped up for $190...
Sigh.
wow!! I bought one still in the crate for 60.00 not more than 2 years ago...
I can't find one on gunbroker for less than 200.00 now.
-
I have a Yugo mauser that I love to shoot, a Garand that I also love to shoot...an m44 mosin and every once in awhile I have an 1866 yellowboy replica in 45LC that I shoot.
so...yep..lots of us here shoot the old service rifles...and old rifles and pistols...
-
wow..I'll bet your dog was glad to see you on that porch...he was thinking..."oooh..yer gonna GET IT NOW!!!"
and he was right!
Your dog should be ok, just take the yotes in for testing, I would think.
and you can talk to some of the guys here..they'd be HAPPY to trim the numbers of coyotes in the area for ya.

I reload .308, and 30-06.
I was comparing the cost of reloading my .308 rounds the other day and, after doing the math, It costs me 58 cents per round to reload my .308 rounds.
the exact same round, if bought would cost me 1.23 cents.
Not only that, but my .308 rounds are 3 times more accurate than factory ammunition.
I could probably go cheaper than .58 cents also..but this is stuff I have in stock.

"paint it black" Glenn.
Black never goes out of style. If it did you wouldn't see guys in tuxedos when they get married.
Black goes with anything..since it's a neutral color, if you're worried about it clashing with your fashion accessories, you don't have to! it goes with any other color!
So...paint it black.

This is a Faljen Legacy series stock. my wife wanted a stock to fit her, I found this one (it's a little expensive) but it'll fit anyone, can be quickly adjusted and it's drop in.

Up here on the Cumberland plateau we've got 6 inches and it's snowing hard...
temperature is at 19-21 degrees and the salt trucks have stopped spreading salt..they're just trying to keep the major roads scraped...my road hasn't had any attention at all...good thing I've got a jeep
-
speaking of which, strick, you need to clean your pistol..I can see the barrel fouling in that pistol from a mile off!!
Tsk Tsk!
remember: a clean firearm is a happy firearm!
-
I would second the idea for the cz-82 or a makarov clone..there are quite a few on the market now and they are inexpensive. they're also not huge so they'd fit well in a pack and aren't bulky.
Wife help.......

Bubba, My wife was like that until we were in Nashville. I was working and I would get on to her about not carrying her little pony pistol with her.
she went to the car wash, and was washing out the floor board mats when she saw a guy actually lurking around the low wall off the property..he was observing her.
she left immediately and I've had no problems making her carry or keep a weapon close since then.
she doesn't like to go to the range as often as I do? but she's ..pretty proficient with a .45 pistol (made the 2nd highest score in the carry class.was mad because I beat her..LOL!) and has even bought her own without imput from me.
(desert eagle in .45). when she travels alone, she's got a pistol to hand.
I would say, make it a family outing. take cousins, wives and brothers and such..and a picnic or something and spend the day. make competitions.
and the more women there, the better.
