  1. Very nice sir.

    FNS-9

    Looks just like the FNX except with a different trigger. I hope the trigger is a lot better than their FNP line. I owned a FNP for a while. The gun had great ergonomics and was reasonably accurate, but it had one of the longest trigger pulls I have experienced.

    Snow Report

    5 - 7 inches in Chattannooga and still snowing as of 9:00. It looks like I won't be going to work till Wednesday. I don't feel like wrecking my car while trying to drive 60 miles to work.
  4. Hardly. One thing you need to realize is that I only got into shooting a little over a year ago. I am having to play catch up with the rest of you guys who have been shooting your entire lives. Maybe in a few years I might be able to hold my own with some of you guys. Last year I shot roughly 15-16k rounds of varying calibers. I know there are people on this forum who shoot a lot more than that. In regards to cost, ranges fees are $200 and $150 (belong to 2 ranges) per year. My weekly ammo cost is probably around $70 (less than 2 rounds of golf).
  5. Well, at least you will be getting in your fiber.
  6. I will be buying it.

    Help me spend $400

    You didn't mention which Glock you have. Have you ever thought about just buying some aftermarket parts for your Glock? A new trigger or barrel perhaps? A 3.5 lb connector and polish job? I owned a HK USP 40. Yes, it is accurate, but probably not as accurate as a semi-custom 1911. However, they are still more accurate than me. The trigger though was long and very heavy. I saw the same thing with my FNP-9. It had an incredibly long trigger pull, and that is why I no longer have it.

    Relationships...

    Sorry to hear about that. Seems like everyone else has pretty much summed it up. The only thing that comes to mind is: "Women. Can't live with them, can't kill 'em." -- Tom Arnold, True Lies

    1911s

    Dammit, I have my head up my butt today. No, sorry. For some reason I was thinking Ed Brown. Those are top notch as well.
  10. Thanks for the info.

    1911s

    Last time I went into Outpost Armory, they had quite a few Les Baer 1911s.
  12. I'm game if it is on a weekend and the weather isn't too bad.
  13. I know it. Are you trying to get me in trouble or instigate something. In all seriousness, I have ran into a few that I would have welcomed a confrontation from a crack or meth-head any day of the week.
  14. Hey folks. I was searching the forum to find any information on the H&K P30 V1. I didn't find what I was looking for. Does anyone on here own one or have shot one? If so, please describe how you feel about it? I am in the market for a P30L V1 (4.5 lb LEM). I know it is reliable based on the torture testing from pistol training.com. I would like to read what you guys have to say about it. Thanks.
  15. They are both pretty bad, but nothing compared to a woman scorned.

    GUN STORE RANT

    Ya know, I have had only one experience of running into "That Guy" working at a gun store. It didn't really bother me. I politely listened to what he was saying in one ear while letting the information go out the other ear. Now, I have ran into a bunch of "That Guy" as customers. I am amazed at the number of people who come into gun shops who have read a book or something on the internet and now they are experts. It is quite funny with some of the stuff they say.
  17. That is the best price I have ever heard of for a NIB FS2000. Most of the time they are > $2k. I am pretty sure they are all 223.
  18. Gonna post some pics when you buy it?
  19. Okay, I just got back from the range. I had the Kimber conversion kit attached to my Nighthawk T3, and I was using 40 gr CCI Mini-Mags (no hollow points). First thing to note is that the Kimber conversion kit won't attach to all 1911s. For example, the kit will not fit at all on my Wilson CQB, which is understandable since the CQB is a semi-custom gun. Since you have a Kimber, I doubt there would be any problems with fit. The fit on the Nighthawk isn't the greatest, but it functions. I haven't used this kit in almost 8 months and it was good too see how it performs considering I am way better at shooting now than I was 8 months ago. I shot 200 rounds with two failure to feeds, which I believe was due to the fit on my T3. As far as accuracy goes, I am not anywhere near as accurate with the kit as I am with my Ruger Mark III Hunter, which was expected. However, the kit was accurate enough for what I would want to do with it. I placed the target at 7 yards and all of the rounds at rapid to semi-rapid fire were within the x and 10 ring. There was a nice big hole that was approximately a 3 in grouping. The sights were off slightly, and if they were adjusted and I worked at little more with the platform, the grouping should be smaller. The accuracy of the kit was good enough that I will continue to use it while working on various exercises. Overall, I was rather pleased with the performance of the kit. Just to reiterate, the Kimber conversion kit does not like all ammo brands. Kimber even recommends using higher velocity ammo. If you are wanting to use the cheapest of the cheap 22 ammo. then I have no idea how it will perform. Lastly, $330 is a little high for the Kimber conversion kit. If you decide that is what you want, then I would shop around because it can be bought for under $300.
  20. I have a Kimber 22 conversion kit that I bought back when I had 2 Kimber 1911s. They are okay. I originally bought it to cheapen up my practice. When I first used it, I did not think it was very accurate and I hated that the slide did not lock after the last round. I ended up by a Ruger Mark III Hunter to use as a 22 instead of using the conversion kit. One thing I need to mention is I am a lot better shot now than when I originally bought the conversion kit. One thing to mention is the Kimber kit doesn't like all ammo. I used CCI Mini-Mags with the kit. I tried hollow point CCI Mini-Mags and had a failure to feed with every mag loaded. Last night I put the conversion kit on my Nighthawk T3. I am going to try it at the range today. I will let you know how I feel about it later on this evening.
  21. I ran across this story a few minutes ago. Quite funny. Flier Blames Tabasco Spill For Lewd Act | The Smoking Gun The story made Drudge. So now the guy is going to have millions see his mug and will forever know him as the Tobasco guy.

    Hot or Not?

    Well, I guess I am the only one who liked the first woman. I don't think she has too much muscle.
  23. Normally I do a few short sessions during the week. I hardly ever go above 200 - 300 rounds. It is typically about 200 rounds. Doing much more than that starts to get a little expensive.
  24. mav

    Hot or Not?

    I will still stick with the first, but would take both at the same time if I could.
  25. mav

    Hot or Not?

    She looks pretty hot to me. I have no problem with women having some muscle. Anyone saying they wouldn't hit it and come back for seconds is either nuts or a liar.
