Well... the camping trip got cancelled. So, I'll be available this weekend between home projects

Exactly... that's how it should be done, because it makes sense. Heaven forbid that Congress legislate based on sense and reason! These states obviously want to control all people, even those not under their 'authority' whom they do not represent. There's alot of Democrat's in that list too... if not all of them.

ALL ACTIONS: 2/13/2007: Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. 3/19/2007: Referred to the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security. Still just 33 co-sponsors... Methinks this one is headed for the 'slow-death' (Congressional committee merry-go-round)

Howabout a crutch stock for your AK-47? http://www.ak47stuff.com/Sales/Sales_Detail.php?g=sales1143004179 Get well soon, man!

Yeah... pepper-spray would just give your leg a spicy taste, from the pit-bull's perspective.

Schweet. Just be careful when you dissassemble it for cleaning... the recoil assembly can put an eye out. I ended up buying a few extra buffers after zinging them across the room and losing them (small white plastic tabs).

Tower, since I can't make it, I just engraved your number on the restroom wall at the local truck-stop... surely someone who sees it will be heading east! Welcome home! Hope you get plenty of time to catch up and relax.

It's always fun to ring the 200yd rifle gong off-hand with the 1911... have to use major elevation though, hold like 12 ft over, with .45acp. Funny thing is, I can do the same with the .357sig pistols, and they have very minimal drop at that distance... just have to aim for the top of the plate.

I might be able to do it... I'd certainly like to. It'll be a few months before I know for sure.

I would have to go with Fred Thompson... unfortunately not an option yet, but hopefully he will rise to the occassion.

I don't wear hats much, but I'd wear a TGO shirt... and I'd certainly stick a TGO sticker on all 3 vehicles. Keep the graphics clean and simple... I'll buy. Another idea might be key-chains...

Yep The sale of my M4 isn't finalized yet... so I'm halfway waiting on that, and also still trying to clear up my busy schedule so that I can actually go wheeling and dealing. I'm hoping to have the new rifle in the next 2 months or so (but I'm not too optimistic on how long it'll take to get it in once ordred... we'll see.) I'm still about 20% conflicted about whether to get a PTR 91 KPF instead... but the lower cost of 5.56mm ammo is starting to be very convincing! My intentions for the Sig, initially, will be to get a Surefire M900 VFG weapon-light, and an EoTech. And I need to research the best way to sling this rifle... The stock flash-hider is going to go, as well, in favor of a Phantom or a Vortex. I'm giving away the last of my 50gr ammo with my M4, because the 1x7 twist of the Sig won't be compatible with that bullet weight... I'll be stocking up on Double-Tap 62gr SS109. I'm excited...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ good advice... Get a camera/videocamera... use it if you see the dogs being allowed to run loose outside of the owners' property again.

Say it ain't so!!!

I've never had a problem... I always use the "insert image" button And paste in the url. I use photobucket to host.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I'll second that! All it takes is Ability, Opportunity, and Intent to do you harm, to create a potential deadly-force situation which you must respond to. Depending on how close the dogs were (20' can be closed by a fast dog VERY quickly), it would have been in my best interests to preserve my tender flesh by taking a couple of head-shots. If the dogs had charged, it is unlikely (though not impossible) for you to have been able to stop both of them before they got to you. Pit-bulls are also tough, it would almost certainly take more than a few shots to dispatch each of them with 9mm. Glad you're okay.

I haven't had a chance to swing by Hero-Gear in Winchester... And I probably won't get a chance to until next week, when my schedule clears up a bit.

Looks good... It's unobtrusive and looks pretty natural. I'll click on it every now and then

Artist: Beauty And The Beast Lyrics Song: Gaston Lyrics Gaston: Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man! LeFou: Darn right. Gaston: No one says "no" to Gaston! Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear. LeFou: More beer? Gaston: What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced. LeFou: Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together. Lefou: Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston Looking so down in the dumps Ev'ry guy here'd love to be you, Gaston Even when taking your lumps There's no man in town as admired as you You're ev'ryone's favorite guy Ev'ryone's awed and inspired by you And it's not very hard to see why No one's slick as Gaston No one's quick as Gaston No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston's For there's no man in town half as manly Perfect, a pure paragon! You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on Lefou and Chorus: No one's been like Gaston A king pin like Gaston LeFou: No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston Gaston: As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating! Lefou and Chorus: My what a guy, that Gaston! Give five "hurrahs!" Give twelve "hip-hips!" LeFou: Gaston is the best And the rest is all drips Chorus: No one fights like Gaston Douses lights like Gaston LeFou: In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston!

My what a guy, that Gaston! No one shoots like Gaston Makes those beauts like Gaston LeFou: Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston Gaston: I use antlers in all of my decorating! Chorus: My what a guy, Gaston!

The black finish on the frame of my P239 is worn entirely off in the places where it contacts my holster... I think it gives the gun character.

Every mechanical device has a limited useful life... some are longer than others. Most of the time, proper maintenance can make a device last much longer than thought possible. In terms of firearms, pistols specifically, one must consider the weak point of the given design... for example: The Beretta 92/96/98 series weak-point is arguably the locking-block mechanism, which withstands the initial force of each shot by holding the barrel and slide together through leverage. These eventually crack and break, the older ones after sometimes less than 30,000rd... the newer ones have a much longer life-span. Cut or button rifling in barrels, especially stainless steel barrels (softer than chrome-moly or carbon steel), wears down after many rounds... but are generally still serviceable up to 100,000rd. Carbon steel, chrome-lined, and polygonal-rifled barrels tend to last much longer, as already noted. IMHO, the weakest part of any semi-auto pistol are the springs and small parts with close tolerances which undergo friction, bending, and heat... Those such as the sear and disconnector, as they wear out, the gun will tend to function less reliably, or fail to engage. Springs lose their tension relatively quickly, especially when heated and cycled to their extents quickly and repeatedly. The life of these parts is directly related to the quality of the materials used, and the precision which which they were originally fitted together. It is ideal to replace springs every 20-30k rounds. But, if a gun is properly maintained throughout it's use... changing springs, refitting critical small parts, proper lubrication, use of proper ammo, and periodic inspection; the life of most modern pistols is well in excess of 200,000rd. That's more than I can afford to shoot in just a few years! Both Sig and H&K are very high-quality brands which must qualify military durability testing... There is no question that they are some of the best and most durable pistols available, with life-spans of far greater than just 20,000 or 30,000 rounds. Though, just like any pistol, they do benefit from maintenance at regular intervals. If one were to take a pistol and shoot it without cleaning or maintenance, it may well last over 100,000rd... but by then would likely be so deteriorated so as to be nearly useless after that.

Browning Buckmark. A bit more expensive, but worth it! Truly the best qualities of all the other models mentioned.
