Moped

Thanks for sharing such a good memory! Sorry about you Cousin Jenny.

I hate these things! My wife was out working on the deck this morning and got stung twice. So after applying some baking soda to the stings, We both went back outside to try and spot their nest, in the grass. Spot it we did... after I got stung! Little Bastards! I'm going to fix their little red wagon this evening with a dose of gasoline and a match!

I passed the story along to several friends and also posted it on Face Book, where it's been shared several times today. Thank you for sharing it with us, Bersaguy!

You aren't supposed to make a grown man cry at work.

I highly recommend gjohnaoniv! he made a superb holster for my back in May! High quality workmanship!!!

Seems to me the Police aren't trigger happy enough! But the gangs sure are!!! Does the City Council Person want them to fill out a form too?

I don't think it's just the insurance, but financial institutions across the board. The State of New York as also warned banks that are HQ'ed in the State to not do business with the NRA. A lot of businesses take short term loans to meet payroll and then pay it off the next week. If the NRA uses such a system and is unable to secure said loans, than that may put a serious strain on their resources. Of course, this is all posturing by the NRA's attorneys as well. They want to paint the bleakest picture possible in order to gain support from the court system. I would be real surprised is the NRA isn't still up and running in the next 10 years.

I think a lot of countries issued the FAL with BHPs. Those were the ubiquitous military firearms of the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s.

Depending on the price, I might be interested in one of these.

He had a Doctorate in Theology and was a Presbyterian Minister.

I always carry an extra mag for my P32. And when I get the LCP out of lay-a-way, I will purchase an extra mag for it too. Which brings up another question. I use a leather pocket holster for my P32 in the right front pocket and I just put the extra mag in my left front pocket with my keys and pocket knife of the day. Any of you all carry an extra mag in a pocket holster or do you just put in your front pocket?

If I were to get back into 1911s again, RIA would be what I purchased. Sometimes I miss my old ones, but then I pick up my SA XDs and remember why I stepped away from them. But everyone that I know that owns a RIA, swears by them! Funny how this thread gets resurrected from time to time. Are the Tisas 1911s still being imported here?

If I recall correctly, the GB and the Glock 17 came out at the same time. Glock had much better marketing than Steyr and won the Austrian Military contract. Then it just became another Wonder9. And at that time, he market was flooded with Wonder9s!

Mine are brass...

Heck YEAH!!! At least once a week, if I can get it! Love Makino's on Kingston Pike and also Nama's, but they are expensive!!!

Well damn. I was looking forward to more firearms manufacturers moving here.

This does not look like a steak. It looks like a certain part of the female anatomy. Are you trying to tell us something MG? Exactly!!! You buy the steaks and wave ours at the grill and I'll come bake the cake, with your ingredients.

Don't see them much around here or at least I haven't. Harvey's Loan and Pawn has a couple of Shield 45 ACP on Auction right now, but they started at $360. And as I type this, I just checked their auction page and the auctioned off a used Shield 9mm, that went for $245. Only one person bid. So I guess they are out there. The only rebates that S&W is giving right now are to former and active Service members of the Reserve and National Guard. https://www.smith-wesson.com/rebates I've considered the Sccy, especially since they are building a plant in Maryville, TN. They go for really cheap here in Knoxville. You can usually find them new for less than $200. But I watched a Hickok45 review of them and while it was ok, it wasn't great. He had a couple of issues. His review of the PT111 Millennium G2 was much better. Still might get one, one of these day though.

I don't know all the circumstances in the Florida shooting. Was the shooter handicapped? Was that why he was yelling at the woman in the car? if so and he was pushed to the ground by a more physically able person, then he really might have been in fear of his life. Just playing devils advocate here. Nothing more.

My wish list consists of one firearm right now an that's an affordable lever gun in .357mag. Haven't found one of those yet. The Affordable part seems to be the hang up.

Where are you finding Shields for less than $300 at? Memphis must be a cheaper market than Knoxville. I don't think I have seen one for less than $350. I see the PT111s going to around $210 all the time, though.

So what distances do you practice with it? I can't see it being much more than a 15 yard pistol. Mostly practice with these little handguns at 7 yards though.

New hobbies like Kayaking and Hiking have taken their toll on my shooting, as have cost and kids. Lately though, I've gotten back into acquiring a few new toys. In the last three months, I have acquired two new pistols. Still haven't shot them yet. Too many other things I need/want to do and honestly around here, the cost of going to a range has gone out of sight or the rules at the cheaper and closer range take the fun out of shooting.

I don't think I'd want to be the one to initially test fire that thing.

Actually, the FNS-9 is a lighter pistol, while being dimensional similar and it can also be purchased new for less than $400. It also comes with three 17 round mags. I have one and I love it!!!
