  I still have an ass whippin' coming from Tulip over doing that. Please clarify... 10PM Eastern, 9PM central.  :rofl:

  I suppose. With this bunch though, when an idiot does show up, it's like throwing a mouse to a pack of wolves. :) We don't even get to play with them much before they get killed off :)

  A lot of the mods are pretty scarce these days. I guess it's like being the Maytag repairman.

  I was gonna let somebody else say it :)

  "Beware of Dog" may be a more effective sign. May also help in court when Buster shows up on the front porch with an arm in his mouth. :) 

  I swapped my Gen 3 for a Gen 4, mainly because my 23 is a Gen 4. Nothing wrong with the Gen 3. Just have a slight preference for the feel of the 4

  You done good, Nacho! 

Guess I'm the odd man out. I have a stainless one that I bought new a few years back. Never have shot it. Didn't plan it that way. Just haven't got to it. Tried to shoot it one time, and grabbed the wrong ammo can on the way out the door. One of these days.

  I am

There is so much truth that I'm afraid to use it. :)

  Eat me

  Party pooper. I haven't seen a good cat fight in a few weeks  :rofl:

  And they accuse the NRA of fear mongering. I hate liberals.

HOLLOW POINT BULLETS!!!  :panic:  :panic:

  Well, a 1911 is gonna be about 2' in the ground. A Glock might bounce :)

Shoot it!

  Should have said within their own ranks. I had no idea that they looked to law enforcement. That's a good thing. Of course their requirements are more rigorous. but, it's helpful to look at the group that uses handguns as their primary weapons.   So... is jumping out of a plane infrequently harder on a pistol than daily handling with fingers dipped in donut grease? I think not  :rofl:

  I love the 1911. With that said, it's heavier, more complicated, and more prone to malfunctions than a number of the newer service pistols. I love 45ACP. But, it's heavier (2x the weight of 9mm), and isn't always superior. Depends on where it hits.   This is one case where the military is not the expert in making the choice. IMO, they need to look to services that USE and DEPEND ON their handguns every day. Of course they need to be assured that the chosen weapon will stand up in combat conditions. If they do that properly, the 1911 will most likely fail in the reliability department. More than one civilian trainer has stated that the 1911 couldn't make it thru a pistol training course without malfunctions.   A patent is only valid for 17 years. That's a short time for a gun design. I'm guessing the patents have expired on most by now.

  Time to come clean, I guess. I haven't stopped carrying my ZT 550. These autos are fun and all, but...

My Godson is REAL sharp

Can't go wrong with a 336. I have a stainless one that's still a virgin.

  The only way to gain confidence in ANY handgun is to shoot it a lot. The LCP is a great pistol, from a great manufacturer. Defects happen from any manufacturer. Once you think it's fixed, run a few hundred rounds through it.

  Yep. I loaned mine to a friend and he shot the bejeesus out of it with no malfunctions. Been awhile since I have taken mine down. Doesn't that pin snap into place?

  :wave:  me too
