  1. The 1911's Marines were issued in the 70's were rattle traps all right. When you qualified with them it kind of reminded me of throwing rocks. You could still shoot expert though......once you figured out what part of the target to shoot at to hit the X. I'd love to have a CMP 1911 but I can't see it happening.

  2. Last time I checked being stupid, rude or even being a bigot with poor taste isn't a capitol offense. Those people were coming to kill. What they didn't plan on was a local LEO with a serious set of balls and a hot hand. They wouldn't have gotten far anyways. There were some well armed, serious looking security dudes at that event.
  3. It truely is the "golden age" for AR's. It's amazing what you can get for under $1k now. People who don't have what they want when times get hard again (and they will) can't bitch.
  4. Yes oh yes please. Neked women, dragons and knights swinging broad swords. God I love this show.
  5.   Looks like about 4 cases of 9mm at Harding place about an hour ago. It was 5 before I got there :-)
  6. I'm not sure a 6.8 SPC would be classified a wildcat, would it? You can walk into almost any Walmart and buy ammo for it. I've had mine several years and I love it. My boys and I went hog hunting in FL a few years ago each of us carrying a 6.8 AR. We killed 4 big pigs with 5 rounds and none of those were head shots. The one pig that took two shots was running and the first round hit him a little far back so my son shot him again. The 6.8 is one of those rounds that just seems to kill better than the numbers say it should. YMMV.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ruger Ar

    Not going to get into the which one is better debate but since PSA is a part of the discussion I thought I'd mention that PSA is offering Colt 6720's at a smoking price. I'm no Colt fan boy but I've got one of these that I paid a lot more than $799 for and I love it. YMMV. http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/colt-ar-15-5-56nato-16-carbine-pencil-barrel.html Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I too have a P32 that I hang on to for the same reason. It's a Gen1 that has always worked. Never a problem. Not one. That said my current pocket gun is a CW380 but not because of better reliability.
  9. Colt Series 70 1911. It was the first pistol I ever bought and I can't believe I sold it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. My irons fail because I can't see the damn front sight anymore. Getting old is a bitch but my aim points get me back in the game. You gotta do what you gotta do. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11.   Yup you're right I haven't. I was kinda lumping prey drive in the temperament catagory but point taken.   That said a buddy of mine got sued over a dog bite by a dog that truely never hurt anyone right up until the bit a little neighbor girl. The dog was a pretty good sized GSD who was getting old and arthritic. The little girl accidently hurt the dog while playing with him. The dog bit right thru her hand. The dog didn't mean it and neither did the little girl. Didn't matter. My point is that if the dog had been a small dog all it would have taken to make things better would have been a little anticeptic and a bandaid not a trip to the hospital and physical rehab.
  12. It's not complicated really. All dogs might bite because all dogs have some level of prey drive. Big dog bites do more damage that small dog bites. Choose wisely.
  13. It's a no brainier for me. All dogs bite. When a small dog bites it hurts. When a big dog bites it hurts worse, sometimes much worse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Being able to switch from a magnified optic to a red dot without a re-zero sounds pretty good to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Para is owned by Freedom and they have or have had manufacturing facilities in Canada but I promise you that pistol is made in NC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Nope Garufa is correct. They are made in Pineville NC. (a little town that Charlotte grew up around) I used to live about 5 min from their place. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Sony is afraid of "bombs" alright but the bombs are in the form of unreleased internal emails that were hacked. There must be some really embarrassing stuff still out there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. I've ordered many times from them during their busy sales promotions and had excellent results. I'll order from them again without a second thought. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. In my bedroom it's a suppressed BCM 11.5" AR and a Glock 21SF.
  20. If you have grown children that are scattered all over the US and sometimes the world, FB can be a godsend. When I was deployed many moons ago the best I could hope for was the occasional letter and maybe spot in the MARS radio line to keep up with what was going on at home. FB is a family thing for me for better or worse. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I've never been to the store but I've bought probably 15 Grands from CMP over the years. I've never once been disappointed with what FedEx brought to my door. That said I know from reading the forums that if you do happen to be unhappy for any reason the CMP will make it right no question, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I grew up in Randolph Co. NC. Lived there for 57 years. I was hooked into the AR culture there reasonably well. I've been here in Middle TN for a year and a half. IMHO there is no way there are more gun owners/interest in that part of NC than here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I love my Gen 2 G19 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. [quote name="Runco" post="1153827" timestamp="1401530462"]Can someone explain the CMP program, process to buy, and places of businesses? I think I know not everyone can just walk in, lay down the $1K, and walk out, right?[/quote] Don't let the requirements keep you from buying a Garand. It's much easier than it looks. For example the CMP club requirement can be fulfilled by joining the Garand Collectors Assoc. They'll even send confirmation directly to the CMP. Buy a CMP Garand of some kind. You'll regret it if you don't. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
