This is getting awfully intellectual. I just think they look stupid.

Actually, that is what I was thinking when I first read this topic.

I think there is some confusion here about responses to posts and what those posts are responding too. Got that? Anyway, I think it's refreshing to hear a LEO tell the public that yes, they do try to trick you. This is one of those videos that the general public should hear and play again every 3 months or so as a refresher.

I have to admit I "hoed up" my G23. The sights were changed, of course. The G26 I had came with Glock's idea of upgrade sights - adjustable and all. They still sucked. Should have changed them rather than add a LaserMax - another bad idea that at least I didn't duplicate in the G23. The G23 also was modified with an extended magazine...errr...clip release that just hindered holstering without dropping the magazine. It did help in magazine changing though, intended or not. Also had the butt plug with the two pins that allowed you to completely disassemble the gun in the field - as if you would ever need to do that - and even a "recoil buffer" that basically limited slide travel. Yet another terrible idea. I also added a gun lock built in to the slide assembly. At the time I was doing reenacting and the loaded gun sometimes stayed in my tent while a bunch of drunks wandered in and out. A locked gun with the key on a chain around my neck seemed like a good idea. Then of course there were the fuzzy dice, but I never actually installed them. I think that in the case of Glocks, manufacturers know that if they make add-on junk, people will come and buy them.

Useful info, Doughnut. For some reason, I never thought of Uncle Sam's.

Remind me to never become a hostage in France.

I did the same thing with darts. Guess I'm more Scottish than English.

You know, I actually have some of those throwing stars. I may learn to use them just any day now.

OK now.

That's what we always end up voting FOR. The lesser of the evils. That hasn't changed since I was of voting age. I have never liked any of the candidates. Maybe that is because I have know them so well.

Ooo. Blue Balls

I don't even get the red X. Such is life.

At the risk of being chastised - I hate being chastised I didn't re-read the other thread. But I do tend to agree with my wife (ex-wife on Thursday) that stereotypes generally have validity in observation.

I'm not neutral at all. I wish Obama would shut up and go away. McCain is inept, Clark is a tool, Obama is all flash and no substance.

Of course it was great. He was high on cocaine (no kidding). Much of the humor in SNL was drug related in the early years.

FYI, Jumbo Shrimp are shrimp served on the "Jumbo" a restaurant at Aberdeen, a municipality on Hong Kong Island. The place has delicious food, if way overpriced because of its tourist patronage.

Maybe a bit off-topic - maybe - but I think it fits into the Glock add-on market discussion. I have a Beretta 92SB that goes back to the 80s. Absolutely the only things I have changed in all of these years is the slide spring - and that was only changed because someone gave me a new spring - and I went to thinner grips. About the only thing you will find as accessories for the 92 are grips. What else would you want to change - except the recoil spring every 20 years, just because it is there? My point is that in a well designed gun (and I'm not picking on Glock) the parts that come with the gun are the ones you need. No point changing out sights, magazine releases, guide rods, etc. because the ones that come with the gun are proper for most purposes. And they should last the life of the gun. In a real sense, guns that have been around for a while might be judged by how few add-ons are available, instead of how many can be purchased. The 1911 has a lot of available parts "improvements". Hey, it was designed in 1908. Great gun for the time and for years after. But there were shortcomings and the market provided improvements. Getting us back on topic, Glock has been here since 1989, is very popular and has tons of "flash" (a trailer sale term) available to add. But is this good, a sign of needed improvement, or just a desire to "ho up" our handguns?

Just like civilians with little to no training.

McCain's response looks better on paper than hearing him speak it. He sounds wimpy if you hear his voice.

The basic story is to not talk to the police without your attorney present. Videos like this help explain why. John and Patsy Ramsey handled the situation correctly. If they hadn't refused to speak to the police, they would have been convicted of their daughter's death. They may have been guilty of that crime, but even if not, they would almost certainly have been charged with it and probably convicted of JonBenét's killing.

You can get by OCing with less hassle if you look like someone who should have a gun on your hip. I don't know how Doogie...errr...I mean Eddie does it.

But according to Gun Tests they have their own feeding problem. And my 2nd generation P3AT has never had a feeding problem. I have heard reports of the LCP having problems with feeding right out of the box too. Looks to me that either gun you may get a winner or an easily fixable problem gun.Either will do the job. I think the one fix Kel-Tec needs to make is to a better marketing department.

Trunks? I found an old Speedo the other day in the back of a drawer. I can still wear it fine. I may hang out over the top a bit more than in my 20s...but I can wear it.
