  1.   Couldn't agree more, my title is Project Engineer, but I'll be damned if I know what that means.
  2. I've been really thankful for a mild summer overall and for a north-facing garage that doesn't get any direct sun. I've only been run out of the garage one or 2 days due to heat so far.
  3. I don't exactly want to cuddle up with any spider, nor have their darn webs tangled in my face when I walk through one, but I do like them better than everything they eat.
  4.    I swear, I wasn't poking at ya, just clarifying...sorry if it seemed that way. When it first came out, you could get one as low as $325. They REALLY wanted to establish a foothold in the tupperware market AND the Euro style non-dropfree mag didn't go over well here. They fixed that and started selling a ton of them. Now they can charge more, I guess. If you haven't felt the trigger on a P-07, wait until you have $500, because you won't want to leave the gun store without it.
  5. The slide of a P-07 Duty rides inside the frame, just like the other 75 variants they make. The grip angle is the same too. The only thing that set is apart to me is the flat (non-humped) backstrap and flat grips (no palm swell). I like this about them, since I run ultra thin aluminum grips on my other 75 variants. Still, it's definitely a personal taste thing. Some people just have poor taste...just kidding, of course.
  6. I'm a big fan of Larry Potterfield and MidwayUSA. They sponsor a bunch of my favorite TV shows and no doubt they wouldn't survive without such a strong sponsorship. Plus, I think they do a great job all around. They're usually my first stop when I'm shopping on the web for something, I can't get locally. I feel like buying from them instead of say, Amazon, is like supporting a locally-owned shop instead of walmart.
  7. Ted died of a self-inflicted broken neck. Saul sent over some goons to get him in line. Ted panics and runs, slipping on a carpet and taking a header into a cabinet.
  8. Moving here and complaining about how our state runs is paramount to someone picking on your sister. It's okay if you do, but nobody else is allowed. But seriously, we get a lot of transplants here and all they do is bitch and moan about how much better things were where they came from. It just gets old and we tend to get defensive after hearing it for so long. They are usually from much farther north, though. "Take your whining ass back home" is just a natural knee-jerk reaction. There must be something they/you like about TN or you wouldn't have moved here. It's usually jobs, no income tax, or some other economic reason, but everything can't be perfect for everyone or we'd be WAY too crowded by now.
  9. I don't know if there's anyone on this show whose boobies I'd want to see, but I see your point. I have the same thought when I'm watching Continuum.
  10. Year old thread or not...we need to be talking about Breaking Bad anyway. This could possibly be the best TV show of my lifetime or at least DAMN close.
  11.   They've been out of stock for a while, but I keep checking back. Glad to know I'm on the right trail, at least.
  12. I have the same itch. I want a full size .45 that isn't a 1911. I've also been leaning toward a P220, but would probably get in trouble if I ever found a CZ 97B for sale somewhere.
  13. http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=218720&page=96 see post 2382, is that you jphillips63? ...and here too at post 504? http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?p=3752488
  14. I wish somebody wanted to see me in heels and a pink tshirt bad enough to just buy me a rifle like that. I'm sure I'd be smiling in every pic.
  15. I've always been rather fond of the Lee powder through die. It does a great job of flaring the case mouth. The only feature it has that makes it special is that as the die is expanding the mouth of the case, the brass cartridge CAN be raise up and activate a powder measure that screws into the die. In fact, I don't see any reason why you couldn't use a Lee Powder Measure (http://www.midwayusa.com/product/537685/lee-auto-disk-powder-measure) on your Rock Chucker, saving yourself a step.   Unless you're loading +P rounds, don't worry about the brass. The 180 gr bullet actually needs less powder than the 165 gr bullet, anyway. So, you're probably at less risk of stressing the case. The chamber will be supporting the thinnest parts of the brass anyway, unless you're shooting a Glock. They are notorious for leaving a bulge in the base of the brass due to the chamber not fully supporting the case.
  16. I'd wear a pink tshirt and heels to the range to shoot it, if I won.
  17. The ram must've seen what that biker did to his sister
  18.   I did the same thing when I got my HCP. Took me a while to get used to it, but I can't imagine going back now.
  19. +1 on Shooter's...nice, clean place and decent folks to do business with Gun City, on the other hand, is a complete mess. You could put a 6" desk fan in a window have better ventilation. Not to mention the place is filthy. If you have nothing against shooting outdoors and only paying $5.50, hit Stones River Hunter Education Center on a Fri-Sun.

    CZ-75 type pistols

    I've looked at a compact .45 acp clone recently and like the one EAA puts out, but only because CZ doesn't even make one.   As far as the 9mm clones go, I have read several reviews that say the Witness clones have cleaner mill work, but never read one that says they are as accurate. CZ just has the barrel mfg process down cold   Another aspect to consider is that if you think finding holsters for a CZ is hard...wait til you need a part for a Tanfoglio. Most CZ parts are NOT compatible with the clones and the custom shops that can butter-up your CZ trigger to make it feel like magic won't work on a clone.
  21. Remember how the press beat the crap out of Bush for saying "nu~cu~lar" instead of nuclear? Remember how much play "Read my lips, no new taxes" from his dad got in the press? Remember how they tried to twist Romney's "I like to fire people who provide services to me." statement?   ...the list goes on and on, yet aside from the HUGE perjuries Clinton committed during his impeachment, you seldom hear much bad about the libs. 
  22. sounds cool, I don't have popcorn, but I'm listening.
  23. I bought a set of wood grips for my CZ P-01 from him about a year ago. The fit wasn't perfect (uneven at the bottom and a gap on one side), so I sent him pics and asked to return them and let him clean them up some.   He straight up REFUSED. He just apologized very nicely, refunded my money, and told me to keep the grips. I tried to say no and asked for only a small discount, but he wouldn't have any part of it. That's a man that wants to please his customers. I hope he gets rich selling grips on eBay. A nice, honest man like that deserves it.
  24. I have the new Lee XR and always thought it was fine. It's not perfect, but at least it has a square primer flip tray.
  25. Am I misreading this? This happened 11 months ago and he's just now being arraigned. Without a sample of the pizza to test for OC, medical evidence that they ingested OC, or a confession, I can't even see this making it to court. I'm guessing they have some kind of evidence in order to get a nearly year-old complaint into court.
