Nice spot there, did you build the bench or buy it?

Well if there is an Internet mastery award, Mac you win.

Streamlight P1L http://www.streamlight.com/product/product.aspx?pid=200 It's 110 lumens and about $40 bucks online. I love it

Man I didn't realize your price point was so high. You can easily find a Springfield TRP for under $1500 if you look around. I bought one brand new out-the-door for $1200 earlier this year. You might also find a Dan Wesson.

no those are Pachmyer Grips which can be acquired very easily on the internet or some gun shops. these are popular on 1911s without checkering on the front strap, and for those who don't like the checkering.

The barrel is threaded on the end so you can attach a suppressor (aka "a can" "silencer")

Don't buy or don't buy a gun because some guy on the Internet doesn't like them. Understand that any production 1911 can have an issue out of the box. Most of which are caused by the magazines. I would go with a company that has great customer service. Springfield is one of those companies, but so is Kimber. Remember that Kimber makes thousands of 1911s every year so the number of complaints on the Internet are gonna be more. The more guns you sell the higher chances of some problems. I have a Kimber Eclipse and love it, carry it every day. But I also have a Springfield TRP which is awesome. For a target shooter/ range gun, I would buy the Springfield Range Officer, just my two cents

You are required to identify yourself as a handgun carry permit holder when pulled over by police. And you are correct in hat you can't carry in any restaurant that serves alcohol. That's the main factors to know

WBIR says they hope to open before holidayshttp://www.wbir.com/rss/article/173302/2/Academy-Sports-and-Outdoors-to-come-to-Knoxville I think Knox news compiled a story with Target at mortgagors that is planned to open in July 2012

Where did you get this info? Looks like the walls are going up right now. Could be a different store next door though, they have the sign up for hiring people. Seems a little far out to hire people for July 2012, but I don't know much about staffing that's for sure

I can understand your frustration, but any qualified gunsmith could fix that without much trouble. He hardest part is removing the old material from the whole. Rest assured that S&W should fix it

I thought so too. $20 for 1 hr is high as well. I'm used to CCA in Knoxville where it's $10 shoot till your done.

I won't bash because I don't fins it constructive. I will say this, go to a range and practice drawing and chambering if that's how you are gonna carry. It's definitely not my choice but if that's yours training is essential. Oh and I carry a single action 1911. I also pocket carry a p238 cocked and locked. Once you get over the initial nervousness you will find it no big deal to carry, and carry chambered

Find a program as powerful as Excel not made by Microsoft and I'll use it, otherwise office wins.

Yes apparently it's no longer at you're discretion where to go get you're fingerprints. You have to go to one specific place (in Knoxville anyhow). I was not aware of the extra price though.

Numbers is compatible with excel, but I would not risk it for professional or Student use. If Excel won't do what you want, its definitely because you don't know how to make it do it. Excel is a very powerful tool if you can get the education on how to use it to its potential. Most people though only scratch the surface of it's capabilities.

I'm a forester, so I'm outside a lot, climbing through brush a lot. The last 4-5 years have been pretty consistently hot as hell in July, Aug, and early Sept. 2004 & 2005 had some cooler days mixed throughout the summer which was nice, but We haven't had any of those lately. I remember in July of 2005 hey high for a couple days in a row was 70-75. I long for those days sometimes

We bought Microsoft Office for the simple reason that that's what we were familiar with, no learning curve. I have used the iworks stuff but I like Microsoft better. Plus if she needs to exchange documents with classmates she won't have to worry about compatibility. Just my thoughts. I would not buy both, that just seems like a waste

My exact thoughts. Sugar coat it with saying "faster and easier".

+1 I'm exactly the same way. S&W, Sig both make fine 1911s, I just can't bring myself to buy one with an external extractor. To me it's been proven that an internal can be perfectly reliable, so why no go with the original design? To the OP, I've heard they are fine weapons and wouldn't hesitate to buy one based on function.

I'd love to try it out if you have any invites left pm sent

Broken firing pin? I have seen them break and the two pieces will no longer make contact with the primer or will only occasionally. Just a thought

Yeah I have to agree with worriedman. Mexico is not Gina show any US resident any more leniency I we stayed that creeps execution. Apparently GW Bush said while he was in office that we should not execute this man for he same reasons. Personally I'm glad he is dead. Piss Mexico, if they don't like it, don't come rape 16 year old girls. Btw he admitted guilt in this case, the debate was that the consulate could have prevented him getting the death penalty.

I would agree with an Internet sales tax. The state is hurting financially and this would go a long way to helping. I would much rather have a consumption tax than a property or income based tax.

Last time I checked, it's the law of whatever state the park resides within. I've been wrong before tho
