Moped

I agree. I bought a Mark 2 back in 82. It was a great quality knife, but really light in the pants for anything other than thrusting. Traded it to a buddy of mine, for my first KABAR. i much preferred the heft of the KABAR. to the Gerber. Much better for general use, in the field, to be honest. Of course the Gerber was really only meant for one thing and that was fighting. That's like comparing a thoroughbred race horse to a plow mule, both will get you from Point A to Point B. The race horse will get you there much faster and you will look sexy doing it. But the mule will plow a field, pull a wagon and drag a tree, while on the way. That was what I found out about the Gerber, in the field. The KABAR was much more useful. But damn, it sure wasn't very sexy.

I never got on the .40 bandwagon, because I was shooting with the ARCOM rifle team and getting all the 9mm and .45ACP I wanted to practice with, so all my pistols were 9mm and .45. I think that if I were to look at a .40 now, I'd step up to the 10mm to be honest.

I decided to trade mine in. In truth, other than the small size, I was not enamored with the LCP and I regret the purchase. I much preferred the Keltec P32, for that size. And I will look for another one of those, in the near future. I gave the P32 to my daughter, who was looking for a small pistol to carry in her jeans pocket. While the P32, the LCP and the LCP-Max are all roughly the same size, the Max is a much more comfortable pistol to shoot, because of the slight increase in grip diameter and length of the grip. The P32, with the .32acp round is a pussycat to shoot, for it's size. Since I bought it, I find myself carrying the LCP-Max more and more, when my wife doesn't carry it. In truth, I might have to buy a second one. One last thing. I used to hate the .380 round over the years. LOL! And I had couple of nice ones. in my youth. A Colt Mustang and a SIG P230. The SIG was shooter, but literally left my right hand shaking from the recoil after a couple of mags. I guess when you get older, your tastes change. Over the last year and a half, I've bought three more! WTH?

That’s what happened to mine.

You know, when you look at it like that, then why are we concerned with the death rate? It's about that too...

My wife and I drove over to Murfreesboro yesterday afternoon and spent the night. We hit Murfreesboro, Franklin, Antioch, Madison and Goodletsville, before driving up to Ridgetop and Adams. It rained on us most of the morning, before clearing off. Later it started clouding back up in Goodletsville and it was raining as we left Ridgetop. After we left Adams, and got on I-24 to drive back to Knoxville, it poured all the way to North Nashville. Traffic on I-24 was down to 50 MPH or so in several places. We drove in rain until past Lebanon, with sprinkles here and there, past Crossville.

Love mine!!!

Interesting read. Seems just because you may live in a high vax area, doesn't mean that the hospitals there are not feeling up. And the breakthrough rate for those that are vaxxed is running about 20%. Much higher than was hoped! A majority of Americans in highly vaccinated counties now live in covid hot spots, according to Post analysis (yahoo.com)

You know, I need to get a tuxedo tee-shirt!!! Thanks for the tip! I've also wanted a shoulder holster for it, ever since I got it! Honestly, it's one of the most elegent pistols, I've ever seen! It fit Bond to a tee!

Do any of us? We seem to all be looking for that Unicorn. I don't think it actually exists. Definitely not for me, who rotates through 5 or so pistols, depending on the situation.

A business should be able to run as the owner sees fit and I have the right to tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine and walk when I don’t like their rules, which I have done twice in the past.

I remember getting bomb threats as a little first grader at Boones Creek, in Washington County, back in 1969. We even had them when I was in High School and later on during Finals at UT. Those were funny, because the University would evacuate the building wait for the deadline to go by and then send everyone right back in. They never bothered searching the building.

That's just wrong. I'm vaccinated, but I believe in everyone's right to do with their bodies as they will. This is just another case of driving a wedge between different groups. I seriously think that people are subconciously itching for some sort a civil war.

That's ridiculous!

That's why I said it depended on the situation. I like all of them. I even carry my Walther PPK from time to time, just so it doesn't feel unloved!

Chamber empty, safety off, trigger pulled already. Just need to rack the slide.

Dang! You all are making me want my Norinco back. It was stolen about 15 years ago, in a burglary of our house. It was one of the best shooting .45s I've ever owned! If I'm not mistaken (and I could be), the Cimarron is a copy of the 1911 and not the 1911a1. Most 1911s were converted after WWI, into 1911a1s. So when you run across one, they are not cheap!!!

I'll throw my vote out there for the Tisas. Bought one a couple of months ago and it's been joy to shoot. The cost was $438 OTD from Harvey's. It's the SDS !911a1 U.S. Army. I bought it because it looked the most like what I carried in the military, just new. My only complaint about it was the magazine. It was a bit flimsy, and extremely hard to load. I've seen reviews online that complained about the same thing. I happened to have a military issue mag new in the wrapper, so I changed them out and it runs fine with that. I have also used a Chip McCormick and a Wilson and both those mags work well, too. I've had zero issues with it, but in fairness, I've only shot a 100 rounds of 230 FMJ through it.

I was at Kroger in Fountain City, this afternoon around 7. Did not see a sign and most folks were unmasked.

I look at it more as a warning to get ready for what's coming. It's not going to be the end of man, but it might mark in a change in the way we do things here and a marked change in the population distribution, through the planet. We worry about terrorism and wars, but when you stop and think about it, changes in weather and other natural phenomona have had a much more profound affect on life on Earth, than anything else. I agree Erik. But it also might happen while we are still alive.

Interesting article in USA Today that sorta falls in line with the 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow... Figured most that come here to this forum, have seen that movie. If not, I highly recommend it! Anyway, the gest of the Article is that the Atlantic Ocean current system is becoming unstable enough that it might stop all together, which would have an extreme effect on the weather over North America and Europe. Time to lay in some cold weather gear!!! Study warns of 'irreversible transition' in ocean currents that could rapidly freeze parts of North America (msn.com)

Thanks! I finally got to a point where I could download this from Kindle Unlimited. Read the forward last night, then went to bed. Woke up at 5am this morning and started the actual book. Now I don't want to go to work today. I want to just read the book!!! Damn you Garufa! Damn you! Get it! It's great so far!! Alright, you old codger! Start reading! It's very good so far!!!

Even if she wasn't right, you'd still lose. At least that's how it works at my house.

You know, that all depends on what I am doing. Daily carry - Ruger LC9S Pro 9mm Hiking - Taurus Tracker Mdl 627 .357 mag SHTF - FNH FNS9 9mm

I have a couple of Magpul Glock 17 mags that look like that color. Sunlight might be shifting the shade of the color a bit, too.
