  1. It's Kalifornia, so who knows.
  2. Agenda? What agenda? They were forced into hiding for decades. Both of my parents are left handed. So am I. They tried to beat it out of my dad when he was a kid. It didn't work for him, but they had some "successes".
  3. Old fart story... Back in '77 (or '78), I was a one handgun guy because of limited funds. Somebody stole my Model 19 S&W, so I headed to the gun store to replace it. At the time, all my cop buddies were still carrying revolvers, except for a couple I knew in the Illinois State Police. They were carrying the "new" Hi Cap S&W semi-autos in 9mm. I had played with the S&W single stacks, but hadn't had a chance to shoot any of the new ones. Anyway, I went to the gun store intending to buy a 1911 (back then we just called them 45's). I got to the store and was fondling a Colt 1911 when the S&W rep (who happened to be visiting) grabbed me and sold me the Model 59 that's in my avatar. It's been with me ever since. Fast forward 30 years or so, and I wound up buying my first 1911. I like it just fine, but wouldn't trade the 30 years with my old friend. I have a bunch of handguns now, and the Glocks are normally the ones that go with me, even though I trust every one I own. Even the old 59 runs like a top. Just don't like the added step of dealing with the safety, or the extra weight.
  4. Natural inclination to rebel against extreme dickishness
  5. If you truly believe that Johnson can win with the FEEBLE poll numbers (and I'm talking ALL polls), then you should probably not call anybody silly.
  6. I like Kimbers for a lot of reasons. You and I also have a mutual friend that couldn't get hers to run, and wound up dumping it. Nothing against Kimber. Yeager is right. I have one (not Kimber) that wouldn't run out of the box, and had to take it to a craftsman. It's flawless now after being subjected to skilled hands. I have 3 Glocks now. Never had a problem, and don't expect one.
  7. You're a mean man . Keep up the good work.
  8. I take it you're ok with the grip angle now? Got the text.
  9. Well said, as usual (I'm stealing the fly s**t line, BTW). Some folks just can't see the forest for the trees.
  10. I'm sure there have been "successes". Takes all kinds to make a world. I've known couple of women that were probably driven into the lifestyle by wife beating idiots. I have another friend with a full grown daughter, and I'll promise you that he was queer as a football bat the day he was born. You can beat any animal into submission.
  11. Yep. Threaten folks with a gun, and you might get shot center mass. I have no sympathy for armed thugs. I don't care how old they are.
  12. More post debate polls. Swing states and all... http://www.reagancoalition.com/articles/2012/20121006001-romney-frontrunner.html
  13. He said Glocks always work. Lots of truth there. The M&P45 is great. I haven't shot one of the compacts, but the full size is a real nice shooter.
  14. Yes. It's an inaccurate statement. The one that died got what he deserved. The one that lived was an almost. They were threatening people's lives with guns. Getting shot in the chest is what is supposed to happen. The shooter certainly shouldn't have had killing as his goal. But if you die in that situation, you have bought and paid for it.
  15. I figure that will be even more impossible if they help Obama get reelected.
  16. Went right over my head. I was hoping I didn't have to hit the google
  17. I have a G19 Gen4 and a G23 Gen4. The outside diameter of the G19 barrel is .57". The outside diameter of the G23 barrel is .59". I just swapped barrels. There's an obvious gap around the barrel in the end of the slide, but it locks up pretty tight. I can see how it could be accurate.
  18. Or lop off their nutz so they can't reproduce. Oh wait...
  19. This is a simple number, but Rasmussen daily is showing 49 Romney, 47 Obama today. First debate bump finally hit. Romney is gonna bring more, and all Obama has is reruns. Gonna be a nail biter.
  20. Honest question... Did they have to? They don't endorse all Repubs, and certainly don't endorse someone in every race.
  21. Yep. One of these days. I'll get it in 9mm too.
  22. WTFYTAW? (I know... don't call me Willis)
  23. I don't think they have much choice. They would have been toast long ago if they acted like us.
  24. Well, he definately gives out free stuff. I think his messiah status has seen better days.
  25. That was a STATE law. Have you listened to anything Romney has said? Leave it to the states.
