  1. I use a service called Dropbox. It is great for syncing files between my work and home computer over the internet. They also have mobile clients for practically everything. Typically when you create a free account, you get 2GB of free storage. If you use the link I have provided below, I will get an additional 500MB and you will get an additional 500MB (for a total of 2.5GB). Get Dropbox (with 500MB additional storage) It also works PERFECT to post photos to forums such as this. Instead of placing the photos on a site such as Photobucket, all you have to do is place the photo in your "Public" folder, right click on the file, "copy public link", and then use that link the same way that you would a link from Photobucket or the like.
  2. Just so everyone knows.....SWFA also has a 110% price match guarantee. I filled out a form on their site today for the Pmags...matching them to the Manventure site. They got back to me within 12 hours, and it looks as if you could get them for roughly $8.86 each if you purchase $15 of them. Unfortunately I was unable to enter into their form the 5% FTL coupon listed above for the Manventure price, however basically since it is a 110% price match, you are getting an additional 5% off. Now...I may call them tomorrow and see if they can match the coupon as well. But Magpul for under $9 each?!?! I priced 20 of them and they would be $8.70 shipped. http://swfa.com
  3. I really love the feel of them. They make it very "slender". I haven't had a chance to shoot it with these VZ's, but I think I'm going to be very impressed! For those that missed it or want to know, these are the VZ Tactical Diamonds (Tiger Stripes). And IMHO, are worth every penny I paid for them.
  4. I ordered a few PMAG's from your Manventure Outpost site. They should get here today. The wait got me thinking though, how prevalent are counterfeit PMAG's? Don't get me wrong, I fully understand the capabilities of buying power and the free market, but being able to buy them for roughly $10 each shipped is just amazing!
  5. It's actually ironic that you would post this today. I actually just got home hoping that they would be here and they are! I will post a picture later when I get home again. For some reason I guess they don't make the "Frags" or the compact, but I agree that they look great. Will be carrying the rest of this evening with them. They do give it a bit slimmer profile!
  6. With my High Noon belt and High Noon Down Under holster along with my P-01, I find it very comfortable. I've even fallen asleep several times with it on and woken up without any regrets or discomfort. I suppose it depends on the following: Firearm, holster, belt, body type, carry location.
  7. I went ahead and purchased the VZ Tiger Stripe Compact G10 grips. I think they'll look great! Cannot wait to get em! Perhaps I'll post a picture whenever they arrive!
  8. Mainly wondering if anyone in the Cleveland area has any VZ G10 grips (hopefully for a 75?). I'm looking at putting some on my P-01, and would like to handle some if at all possible. If noone in the local area has any VZ's, what do you all think of them? They have many great reviews on the internet. I'm hoping that they will make concealing a wee bit easier due to their thinner nature? I have a knife with G10 handles, I am also thinking it might not cause an overshirt to ride up as much as the stock rubber grips. Either of these the case?
  9. I wonder if anyone has ever tried taking on of these soft cases and applying some sort of silicone treatment? Something like spraying Remoil (or equivalent) on the contact surfaces ever few days for a few weeks? I suppose you wouldn't want to soak the material, but a "layer" and then air dry, theoretically the silicone would stay put right? Or is this all just foolish talk?
  10. The obvious answer is safe. However, I do not have one and do not wish to go through the hassle of purchasing one and having it installed in my rental house that I don't plan on staying in more than a year. Thus, I'd like some input and ideas on how to store a rifle and a few pistols that will keep them out of the way (of us), out of sight (from thieves), and clean (from rust). I was very close this morning to purchasing one of these two: http://www.castlerocktactical.com/crt_dc16.htm http://www.laruetactical.com/covert-rifle-case-mkII However I gave it a second thought and decided that soft cases like that would probably promote rust. I'd like to store the rifle and pistols along with some cleaning supplies, ammo, and some loaded magazines. Obviously there are many options if one does not mind spending money, and I'd love some recommendations of different products. If there is an option for it to be made in the USA, that'd be awesome. Mainly I'm hoping that some of you here will chime in on what you've done in the past and what to do and what not to do.
  11. It really would just depend on what actually went on during the potential sale. If during the entire time of selection he [husband] was the one handling everything, discussing what he liked and didn't like, and then towards the end the conclusion was "she's going to buy this one", well that is probably sour and the Walmart guy is just trying to do his job. After all, you never know what sort of pressure has been put on him by management to avoid any possible straw purchases. If she was the one handling everything and it appeared she was trying to make a decision, then the Walmart guy made a huge error in making a decision. Keep in mind Walmart is also the place that refused to sell me a knife sharpener when I was 17. A knife SHARPENER. So it is obvious that they are bending over kneeling in hopes that they are not at all held liable for anything. Straw purchases are funny anyway. Anyone that cannot legally purchase a firearm knows how and where to find them. And anyone that cannot legally purchase a firearm that wants to purchase one NIB from the store knows that all they have to do is find someone willing to go into the store alone and then what store is going to deny the sell calling it a "straw purchase" then? I have actually seen the "straw purchase" rule prevent quite a few purchases that were probably legal. Such as a female at Walmart I overheard asking the attendant if it was ok if she purchase a firearm for her husband for Christmas. He called it a straw purchase and said that was illegal. As long as the recipient can legally own a firearm, it is my understanding that in this case it is legal. If he hounded her about not being able to handle it, that's not cool. But it is also possible he said something like "That's a lot of gun for a young woman like you, sure you can handle it?". After the denial, her and her husband may have exaggerated what was said and claimed is was discriminatory.
  12. Posey's, just went in their the other day. Lot of stuff on the walls and in the cases, but I was hoping that they would stock larger selection of ammo and magazines. But I suppose $30 is as cheap as we can get it since we unfortunately have the check fee. $30 isn't bad, just wish we could have them for half that like some places in the country.
  13. Wow! Just comes to show you can sell anything. Kudos to him. It is actually a very awesome piece, I just cannot justify it but maybe someday. I'm also sure that ThinkGeek has quite a nice markup.
  14. Finally I found something that works! Just for those of you that don't know what to do with your accessories Seriously though, I'd buy one if it were about 20% of the current price! http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/edfc/?cpg=47832954&msg_id=47832954&et_rid=508493335&linkid=47832954_headline_edfc
  15. Silvers, the one shop in town I have never been to. Good thoughts though! Sidenote: Fugates claimed when I talked to them about it she would have to charge me salestax. I personally have never actually had an item transferred from the internet, but it is my understanding that if you were to purchase the item from out of state and have it shipped to your FFL, all the FFL does is transfer + background check. Is this correct?
  16. I am pretty sure it is $30 plus the $10 transfer fee/tax.
  17. I'd like to find an FFL in the Cleveland area that doesn't charge $40 for a transfer. Anyone have any experience with any good ones around?
  18. I had one. The first gun I bought (Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec) for $400 came with one. Got the factory .45 ACP barrel, as well as the .400 CB barrel with 1.8 boxes of .400 CB ammo. I fired I think five rounds of the .400 CB. It was very awesome, but with ammo being scarce and took the ammo and barrel to a local gunship/smith and the smith paid me $100 cash for the combination. I figured $100 would buy me a lot of (figuratively) .45 ACP and then I'd only technically have $300 in the gun. It was...an awesome round to say the least.
  19. I buddy of mine recently acquired a CZ 100 as payment for a debt owed to him. He just really wants some cash. I know they weren't produced and imported for all that long, but what do you all think of them? Reliable? Accurate? Parts easy to find? What would a good buyers price be for one at probably 90-95%?
  20. I carry anywhere I can, except for posted areas and work. In the handbook at work it is mentioned that one of the possible reasons for dismissal (permanently) is possession of a firearm without permission. I work at a "corporation" with 200+ employees. I plan on it, but I haven't got around to making mention to the President that I have a permit, and ask if it would be ok if I were to bring a firearm into the office and keep it secured. Anyone with any such experience in a similar situation?
  21. Probably a month ago I took my wife to the land of unclaimed baggage in Scottsboro. Got back late that night. Guess from being tired I slipped and left my vehicle unlocked. Next morning we jumped in to go to church and I noticed that the cable that usually resided in my glove box connected to my iPod was pulled out and laying on the passenger seat (the cable is connected to the radio). That is when I noticed that my iPod would never see me again, nor I it. Her car door was a bit ajar too, but they didn't find anything in there I suppose. We live in what I consider a very good area downtime, however late at night I figure some punks were walking down the street checking all the car doors to see what they could find. Now I drive my wife crazy making sure everything is locked

  23. Although I would love a Kadet kit and would love to have one someday, if I am going to spend what it costs to buy the kit I would much rather just have a dedicated firearm. That said if I ever see one of the kits used I may pick it up if it is a good price.
