  1. I read on a 10.5" Ipad. The default font on it is larger print than most hardback books. I also enjoy a lot of PBS. In fact Create is one of my favorite PBS networks. I also love to cook, so enjoy the cooking shows. I also enjoy the travel shows. Tennessee Crossroads is a great show too!!!
  2. I use Overdrive too! Great service and it's free!!! And my Amazon account is also linked to Overdrive, so it counts the books I "borrow" from the library toward my reading numbers. My current Reading Insights numbers since I switched to Kindle are having read a book on Kindle over the last 172 weeks. My reading days in a row right now is 672 Days. There is only a couple of days break between this streak and the last streak, which was 532 days.
  3. Look forward to meeting you!!! Stacks of books everywhere is the reason I went to reading on a Kindle. Now my library is physically much, much smaller, but has grown leaps and bounds! And my wife is much happier now that the book piles have gone away.
  4. You and I have a lot of interests in common, when it comes to reading. Andre Norton was my introduction into Sci/fi too. Still read plenty of it and I'm almost 60! Got Kindle unlimited and I think I'm keeping several sci/fi authors in the writing business! I'll throw in some of our favorite shows to watch. Longmire and Justified are two my wife and I highly recommend. We've watched both through twice now. Enjoyed Yellowstone, but I also think it's about run its course. 1883 was a great short series. 1923 is going to be another great short series. So far, we have enjoyed Mayor of Kingstown and Tulsa King. All those are Taylor Sheridan series. The guy knows how to make some great TV series!!! Of course GoT was great, right up until the end. Then they screwed it up. I've enjoyed The Lord of the Rings series on Prime. You just have to accept that it's not Tolkien Canon, and then it's great. Enjoyed the Expanse series as well, though I must confess that I enjoy reading sci/fi far more when I read it.
  5. I wasn't expecting that much cosmoline on it. Aren't these commercially made pistols? Varsol is your friend!!! Can't wait till you get it cleaned up. I want to see how it shoots.
  6. Actually Canada and Great Britain tried to shoot one down with 20mm cannon fire and both failed to bring down the same balloon. Read that the other day. I would link it, but I can't remember where I read it. The mind is the first thing that goes, when you get old.

    Congratulations on the getting the Equalizer! This is what the original 9mm Shield EZ should have been, I completed discounted the Shield EZ, due to compacity. I don't mind single stack mags at all, but not in a larger semi-auto and the EZ is not a small pistol.
  8. Those are the lowest I've seen!
  9. Bravo for the Federal Judicial system!!! This is the right ruling. I hope it is appealed to SCOTUS, who rules the same way. I've felt for a very long time, that marijuana should be treated just like alcohol and be made legal and then regulated just the same. Of course, our fearless leaders in DC, will fight like the devil to not see this happen, because it means money for law enforcement agencies across the country. This would affect the lifestyle of 10s of thousands of bureaucrats everywhere. And money is power in Washington. Now if we could just get the judiciary to declare the Federal and State income tax system illegal!!!
  10. We shot it down, off the coast of South Carolina.
  11. Just about anything in .32 caliber is getting hard to find. I'd love to have a revolver chambered in .327 Fed, which can also shoot .32 H&R, .32 S&W long and short rounds. But good luck finding one, anywhere!!! Ruger and Taurus still list them in their catalogue, but they aren't new out on the street apparently. As for the Ruger Single Six in. 32 H&R, apparently, it's a reloaders dream and a fantastic woods gun. Very capable of putting meat in the pot, while roughing it. I've not seen a Single Six under $500 anywhere and most are north of that by a $100 to $200. I see .32 long on the shelves often at several places around Knoxville, but not .327 or .32 H&R.
  12. At least with Prohibition, We The People got to vote on it. It was approved by voters in 36 states, before Congress enacted the 18th Amendment. This crap is just a bureaucratic power grab, by the ATF. And driven by the greedy powers that be in DC, that are scared of We The People.
  13. I’m old school. Give me a good .308. It can take anything on the State. To me, it’s the perfect all around caliber.

    I love a happy ending! Now, what did you purchase? We all want to know!

    Welcome to TGO! Things should be settled with the appeal. Truly sorry for the embarrassment to! Don't hesitate to ask questions here or for some advice. As you have already read, there's plenty of that here.
  16. Quite honestly, I hope most brace owners decide to ignore the "free SBR Licensing scheme", being foisted on them and tell the ATF to go f#$& themselves. If this brace ruling is allowed to stand, I think it will just a matter of time, before pistols with magazines forward of the trigger, will be placed under the NFA, just like they did the Street Sweeper back in the Clinton era. We either win the ensuing lawsuit against this rule in the Supreme Court, or we see a further eroding of our 2A rights. But if you want to SBR your pistol, go right ahead. Me, I'd just take the damn thing off and put in the closet, for a time when it may be needed.
  17. I have no preference. It's just funny how this thread seems to roll around every three months or so. It's been going on and on and on since Nov. 11th, 2013. And honestly, most of the opinions about this pistol are not in line with the OP's. Mine certainly are not! BTW, for those that don't know the original poster, TankerHC, was kicked off this forum not very long after he started this thread.
  18. BTW, if you Google Tisas 1911a1, this thread comes up first.
  19. Oh look, it’s back again! The thread that never stops! That’s a great price on a basic 1911! I have the Tisas U.S. Army 1911a1 and it a very reliable pistol. And as JMB intended, it’s combat accurate. I bought it because it was the closest model for sell, that was like the one I carried in the Army. But instead of “character lines” it looks brand new.
  20. I think it has it's place, but not in my arsenal. For one, I have never liked this types of revolvers. And for another, not at the MSRP of $949. My dad on the other hand has been interested in one of these since he saw one. He's not a gun person, but he had a .410 shotgun and so it resonates with him.
