  1. Good for you, and your wife!!! That's exactly how I was raised.
  2. Thanks Mark! Pm sent.
  3. Anyone from around Morristown going today? I could use one more ammo can!
  4. I am the same way! I get claustrophobic whenever I'm so crowded in like that.....I feel like I can't breathe and can't escape fast enough!
  5. I went today. Got there at about 1:15 and couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought it wouldn't be too bad today....boy was I wrong! There were so many people in there that it was impossible to really look at the merchandise. I gave up after about 30 minutes of fighting the crowd. However, it was a good day because I came home with a case of XM193 for me and one for my brother. Got lucky on the second case for my bro...ran into a guy outside selling it for a surprisingly reasonable price. I also got to meet David today and was able to see why he is so popular around here. Very nice guy! I wish it wasn't so crazy at the show and I could have visited with him longer, but he did give me some good advice on what kind of reloading setup would be best for a beginner. Thanks David! :)
  6. I just talked to David. I've got claims on the case of .223. :)
  7. There has to be more to this story.
  8. 44mag.com has them for $1.49.
  9. In my relationship, I am the gun nut and my husband has no interest in them whatsoever. I grew up in a shooting/hunting family, shooting since the age of 4, and was given my own bedside gun when I was 11. The arrangement my hubby and I have is that whenever I get to spend money on guns or gun stuff, he gets to spend equal money on his truck project. :)
  10. I agree 100% with QuietDan.
  11. He attacked the music and movie industry too, not just video games.
  12. It's sounding like the NRA is pushing for armed security of some sort at all schools to protect our kids.
  13. It is not user error. I can't even do it on my desktop pc, and I'm a moderator. I can however, do it on my tablet. Something very strange is going on with this it seems.
  14. Awesome. I'm going to order one right now!
  15. [quote name='Dolomite_supafly' timestamp='1355183492' post='858132'] I prefer to have everything in AA as well. That is because I have a charger for them as well as a solar charger for it as well. Dolomite [/quote] Where did you get your solar charger at? I've been thinking about getting one of those too.
  16. Thanks Mac. That one looks very nice and I like everything about it.....except for it being yellow! Might just have to deal with the color if I can't find anything better.
  17. I want a good LED Headlight that takes 2 AA batteries. Everything I've found takes three AAA's, which I hate. Any recomendations?
  18. Now that's a happy ending.
  19. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
  20. Best answer imo. You are missing a .22 and since you like the Sig 556, I'd get a Sig 522. It has the same folding stock and basically looks just like your 556.
  21. I made my decision. I'm going to get the Sig 522 with the quadrail. I've been doing quite a bit of reading on the Sig and the M&P and every side by side comparison I've seen puts the Sig on top. The trigger is supposed to be much better and the overall quality (they say) is better. And the fact that I already have a dozen Black Dog .22 mags that will work in the Sig is the icing on top of the cake for me.
  22. Hahaha I love the story! The Kimber is very pretty....actually very very close in looks to the EMP. The only differences I can see, without getting out my EMP to compare, is the Kimber has front strap checkering (the EMP does not and I've always kinda wished it did) and the grip safety on the Kimber is stainless (the EMP is black, which results in tiny little scratches where the safety rubs as it enters the frame), and the ambi safety lever is stainless (EMP is black). The EMP comes with Trijicon night sights (which are awesome!) and, correct me if I'm wrong, but the Kimbers that I've seen usually have plain old black sights (that seem to me to be very hard to see). I personally have to give the first prize in pretty to the EMP though.....mainly because of the beautiful cocobolo grips with the crossed cannons. So, in all honesty, the Kimber does seem to have a couple things going for it that the EMP could use (front strap checkering and stainless grip safety), but the EMP has a couple things over the Kimber (Trijicon sights and prettier grips). However, the Kimber could easily be fitted with your choice of night sights, and the grips could be changed out to some really nice custom grips. The EMP has a bull barrel that is incredibly accurate for a 3" barrel.....I'm not sure what the Kimber has in that department, but I would love to see how the two of them shoot in a side by side comparison. The EMP also has an amazing trigger, again not sure about the Kimber since I've never shot one. Does this comparison make it easier for you to choose? Probably not. I'd say it boils down to whichever one makes your heart go pitter patter the most. Remember, half the fun is shopping around and making your choice!
  23. What do you think about the HK 416?
