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.

He just doesn't look right without them Star Trek shades.

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

[quote name="UncleJak" post="1153363" timestamp="1401414622"]Ive been watching this wondering what it could be. I finally have a guess: charcoal.Sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee[/quote]Winner! 420 bags (22 lbs. each) of "Wicked Good Charcoal", 100% all natural hardwood lump. Currently holds 2 of the top 5 spots in the world as voted by thousands of cooks, beating out more than 95 competing products. Used by 5-star restaurants and famous chefs, and by many overweight middle-aged men who love to grill, smoke, and devour great food. Most in our group use Big Green Eggs, but some use traditional grills or smokers. This stuff is normally quite expensive, and not too many dealers sell it due to cost, but we get it near half price by ordering wholesale in bulk. Congrats Uncle Jack, you win a free bag if you care to pick it up in Lebanon area. PM me any time to meet up. :)

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...

Inflatable dolls?

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.

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.

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.

The young man did the right thing in getting out while unseen but his first mistake was not calling 911 to get the police coming to what turned out to be a very dangerous situation for sure. Would have been a really bad day for Craddock had he come to my house uninvited after rifling through my out building. i would have called the police and gave them all the time they needed till he came in my house and then a body bag and coroner  would have been needed if the police didn't get to him before I did. I would give the police time till he got in my house and then it would be my responsibility to protect my home and my well being.................jmho

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.

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

All this is making me want to look again for a good 38/357 lever gun. I know the Rossi is ok, but just a few little things I don't care for on it. So I guess I'll have to find some money for a better one. Thinking a nice Winchester, or maybe a Henry.

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

Love my Blackhawk convertible! :up:

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

I like it!!!   ^^^^... I need to go ahead and pick a BCM pencil barrel and get to work... By the way; a good barrel is a good barrel, no matter what the countour... BCM barrels are good stuff as near as i can tell...   leroy

Stages are looking good Robert.. See you there....

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

I originally went to college, concentrating in culinary arts...Cut myself quite often, and at least once down to the bone. Between that, fast food, and restoration work, I learned the easiest way to not hurt yourself is to not do anything that involves sharp objects or high tension/moving parts. Since this is generally impossible, make sure you have the toughest tools, sharpest knives, and a high threshold for pain in addition to iron stomach and good humor....because when something does happen, regardless of how careful you are, the only things left to do is laugh and learn.

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.

I suspect we will be reading about him acting like LE and pulling his gun in someone. After which he will loose his HCP and get charged.

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

Found item at 4wheelgun.com

I aint got that far in doing this, still learning. Did learn not to put coated boolits that are still hot in the powder, dropped 10 in the powder to hot and I got a clump of junk out. LOL  

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 disagree. I do much better that 6 or 7 loads.
