1911 not included? I don't think so. The 1911 is my first choice and always will be. Everybody already knows why. 2nd choice is a S&W K-frame revolver. Again, everybody should already know why.

Sorry for being old and forgetful but thought it would be fitting and proper   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70Ikj1hZDnw

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed. She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of coffee in front of him. ... He appears to be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wiped a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee. "What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room, "Why are you down here at this time of night?"   The husband looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly.   The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes I do," she replies.   The husband paused. The words were not coming easily. "Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making love?"   Yes, I remember," said the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.   The husband continued. "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?"   "I remember that too" she replied softly.   He wiped another tear from his cheek and said..."I would have gotten out today."  

  mhl spoke a great truth here; along with greg's comment on the 1911 "platform"...   There are some of us "geezers" who remember when the double action revolver and the 1911 wuz king... Like mhl;  im a great fan of the double action smiths in any flavor (...N, K, or J...)... I grew up shootin them and they are my revolver favorites... The fact is that a double action revolver is utterly reliable and if a finished gun man who is handlin it can shoot double action; it's as deadly as a drug store til the first reload (...which ya usually dont need...)... The same is true of the 1911...   The fact is that i like all the legacy gun "platforms" because they all work and work very well...That's how they became so popular...  I've got a 25 year old who is deadly with a 4 inch 629... He wuz taught to shoot double action by his geezer dad (...who can't shoot nearly as good as he can...)... Never feel bad about being "outgunned" by carryin a good double action revolver... If ya know how to shoot; ya ain't... The newer stuff may tote more rounds in the magazine; but that's about all...   All that bein said; we've got a pile of "modern" glocks; and that's what we carry...   The smiths and the colts are locked away in the gun safe... Too valuable to carry...   The polymer stuff is like a hammer or a handsaw; it's simply a tool... The revolver and the 1911 is a work of art... Meant to be appreciated, praised, and shown to friends... The polymer stuff is meant to be shown to your adversaries...   leroy

Hard to beat a Smith & Wesson revolver for power and reliability.   Glock if I want a "platform".

A Smith & Wesson (or Ruger, for that matter) revolver.  Snubbie, 3 inch, 4 inch, doesn't matter.  My reason:  comfort level, reliability, and just sheer beauty.  

It's the state's loss.  I wonder who's brother-in-law got the job?

If it was my only handgun, a .357mag revolver would win. A revolver would also encourage you to make your shots count vs spray and pray.

For a change, I have an interview with Yates Nissan tomorrow. Wish me luck. I had one interview with Viam today, They offered me a job but i think Nissan might be a better company to work for in the end. It's the Decherd plant.   First interview, then hopefully training, then hopefully i'll be working full time. (Just hoping i get hired on).        

  Yep. Definitely a Good K-frame in the top 2. But...for all round comfort to hold and shoot, it's gotta be a....   Wait for it....   A Hipower. The classic Browning.

K-Frame S&W.

Smith & Wesson M&P. They cover the whole range AR’s (.22, .223, .308), full size duty weapons, compacts, sub compacts, options the way you like them, best customer support in the business… what’s not to like? Would I give up my J,K or L frame revolvers or my SW1911? Nope, glad I don’t have to pick just one platform or gun.

So I have a job interview tomorrow with TWRA in Nashville, as a forestry program coordinator. I am qualified, it's just a matter of convincing them of that. I'm pretty much reserved to the fact that if it's not in Gods plan then it won't happen anyhow, but it would be nice, for sure. So if your so inclined, I'd appreciate any prayers y'all can muster.

What a great picture!!

Wait, You posted the stages? I thought the SO's were supposed to get them earlier than everyone else so we had time to set them up and practice more.

H&K USP platform     i have always been a fan of the mag release on these pistols. i have a broken bone in my thumb which unless i shoot a single stack handgun, makes it hard for me to reach the mag release. with the H&K i can train my index finger to drop the mag and it allows me to utilize the double stack platform without adjusting my grip every time i engage the mag release. i also prefer the way the slide is cut, flat top with the sides having a prominent angled drop. The reliability is also a deciding factor with the history H&K has built for itself. the only downfall is the proprietary accessory rail and the price of magazines or any part for that matter.       i started lets hear from someone else

I'm so proud of my 14 year old daughter. She attends a private school. Her school requires all 8th grade students to do a 25 hour project and log their hours. I helped her with a couple of difficult cuts on the angle grinder and router but she did most everything on this. She even demonstrated it outside of her school. Her teacher was so excited to give it a try as soon as the teacher shot it she said "Well you'll be getting an A!". Other teachers heard about it and came out to give it a go. This was her project: -Stock is 2x4 pine -Trigger and mechanism is a flat piece of steel cut and bent after she heated it with a blowtorch. -Bow is a piece of 1" PVC heated and flattened then reheated and bent to shape. (People on the interwebs are getting 150lb draw on 1 1/2" PVC so we went with 1" -String is 550 paracord -bolt is an oak dowel rod with a penny ground into an arrow shape and packing tape fletching. ( I actually made this arrow, she made two like it with foam on the tips in case they wouldn't allow her to shoot the sharp one) Yup, my daughter rocks! -southernasylum

That makes it easy... with everything else having guessed and missed, my money is on these... now I know why you've waited so long to tell us...

If I know trouble is coming, 1911 all day long.  EDC, Colt Agent snubbie, but I would be just as comfortable with a Ruger LCR or a S&W, 442/642.  I give the little Colt the edge for holding one more round.

A little update that might interest some of you.  HB826 was also passed and signed by the governor.  Most people thought the bill just removed some of the lunacy associated with zero-tolerance weapon violations in K-12 schools.  One of the changes, however, removed some key language that previously stated the law did not apply to Georgia Weapons License holders "when picking up or dropping off a student" in a school zone.  That part in quotes was removed, so the law now says that GWL holders are exempt when in a school zone.  It also redefined school zone to be K through college.  The bill passed with only 2 Senators voting against.   Basically, Georgia legalized campus carry for license holders.   However, everyone from the legislators who voted for it to the Governor to now the Attorney General are trying to say the law doesn't say exactly what it says.  HB60 left the original language in; HB826 changed the language.  They are trying to say that HB60 changed the law back because it was signed last.  However, that only applies when two passed laws directly conflict, which these do not.  Also, originally it appeared that HB60 was signed first, but now the record on the website has been changed to make it look like it was signed last.  GeorgiaCarry.Org fully expects to have to sue to get the State to follow the law as written.     The sad part is either that the legislators and governor passed a law without knowing what was in it (unlikely for the governor, who has a team to review bills before signing), or they passed it with the intention of immediately trying to circumvent what it does.

Got a email from chase that my bank account was suspended (yes I know) so I clicked their link and proceeded to enter the most bogus info I could and it actually logged me in. I'm going to startfilling out all the emils I get with bull crap info just to screw with the scammers.

I have always likened to the Sig P series, my P220 and my P228, just fit!  My P6 is the best feeling gun I have ever held.  I shoot Glocks, but I am much more accurate with my Sigs. 

China has always been the country you equate with loud neighbors, oozing cathouses, thump thump music and Richard Lewis singing broadway tunes in a feminine off pitch key...no offense to any asian descent members here from proc...lots of noise, theft and unrest thats always unproductive.....except for the few that want good deal...Booger Jr in N Korea is the one ive got crosshairs on....that lil cat turd is capable of some stirring up some crap..

One vote for the battery tender... That's more useful after this project for sure.

Drill it smooth and wood glue in a dowel then re-drill. Quick easy and a strong repair.

LOL, forgot to check TGO for a bit, suddenly it's ogrish.com all over again!

FYI, depending on how badly the wood is "gouged" you might be able to steam it out with an iron.

I'm not familiar with that rifle so this might be a dumb idea.   Can you drill out the area making a larger hole and then insert/press/glue a "bushing" with the original size hole for the ID?   You could make the "bushing" out of wood, plastic, or metal to suit your need.  

That's almost as bad as telling a 44 year old you're thinking of trading for two 22s.  She wasn't amused.

Sorry it didn't work for you, but the right job is out there for you.  I lost out on a job I thought was made for me a few years ago, only to find a better job than I had imagined very shortly afterward.

We have a term for people who don't like Garands - heretic :)

Another Golden fan here. I had to put mine down about 4 years ago now, but I still miss her. Best and smartest dog I have ever had. She loved the water and to ride on the seadoo.

Love my Blackhawk convertible! :up:

Since I have a revolver that shoots,357,38spl and 9mm I pick both.

I'll leave it to the legal scholars on here to debate the legality of the transaction, but if you were wary or uncomfortable at all then I would say yes, you made the right call regardless of law. Of course, it could be argued that you were only wary because there are thousands of laws on the books regarding the transactions that have made us, as gun owners, ridiculously paranoid.

Whoa whoa now. That was solid sarcasm. Hence the laughing.

  Nice avatar!  That Karen Gillan is a real looker!

Is it new?

If you clear cookies from CNN each time, you can vote over and over. edit: didn't work on this one, guess IP is locked in, but it does work on a lot of them.   Anyway, these kind of polls are a joke, but the channel may use them as "news" on their broadcasts too -- IF results fit their agenda. So I guess it's good when gun forums are alerted on gun control related ones.   - OS

"One night in Birmingham Al, what shouldn't I miss?" Your ride the next morning!

Too bad you're not in Memphis. I've almost 300k sqft of air-conditioned empty warehouse with 20+ available dock doors, pallet jacks, and forklifts... And I could cut you a deal for short term storage and access. I'm guessing laundry or dishwashing detergent containing phosphates. ;) that stuff is near worth it's weight in gold now days to people who know what it is and is almost impossible to find.

was just down there for a gunshow I was funny watching vendors load up at night when leaving the gunshow is across from the main police station

Got my receivers and rail back from Mike at Law Enforcement sales. Looks great. It's a little lighter than magpul but it's close enough. I want to shoot animals in the woods and I doubt they're gonna see the slight difference. All in all it's gonna look sweet. Especially once my stamp comes back for the suppressor. Hopefully I get everything assembled next weekend.

I am amazed at the dedication and time some folks have to keep brass in "batches." In my world, the stuff gets, shot, picked up and tossed in a bucket where it will sit until it's full, at which point it will be sorted. Then, as time permits, it will be polished, deprimed, primed, and eventually loaded. I have no idea how many times a round has been loaded. I guesstimate some are nearing the dozen mark based on how many bullets I've loaded and how much brass I have for a given caliber. If a case is suspect, I toss it. Pretty much all there is to it. I rarely have to chuck brass, but when I do it's usually 357 splitting at the mouth.

I stopped in the Murfreesboro Walmart on Old Fort tonight and stopped by sporting goods to renew my son's fishing license and there sat about 40-50 50 round boxes of Federal .22. Normal price of $2.47.   The surprising thing was that there was only 1 other guy there interested in it. He got his limit of 3, I bought 3 and no one else seemed interested in 50 round boxes, although 1 guy did ask if he had any of the bulk boxes but passed on the 50 rounders. Guess they're harder to turn a profit on.
