Oh Shoot

Another outrageous example. What was the "reason" given? - OS

Well, if someone here doesn't come up with an answer, I'd certainly contact Ruger if it were mine...such a mystery. Maybe it's a secret prototype that slipped out of their R&D, and they'll pay you a zillion bucks to get it back!! - OS

Wow somebody must have customized this puppy. Or maybe it's some super-duper prototype or something. Where did you get it? And for the $330 MSRP or so? Very intriguing, after all this LCP furor, and now to see an unknown version... - OS

Ruger doesn't even show a LCP with chromed slide option onsite. Where did you get it? Not to doubt you, but can you post a pic? Would love to see it. - OS

Where does he get 500 years of slavery? First slaves came to colonies around 1620. Of course, facts seldom figure into diatribes like these, and I guess, what's 120 years one way or the other between friends, eh? - OS

Is that not just valid for VA residents? - OS

If Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, and the rest of the boys were around today, they'd be organizing the citizen militia to overthrow what has turned into a tyranny worse than the British imposed. - OS

Although two of the most popular IWB holsters sold, maybe THE most popular numbers wise, are the MTAC and Crossbreed, which are both leather AND Kydex. - OS

Makes ya wonder. I'm just sayin... - OS

To have had two divorces of my own, I guess I'm one lucky guy... Just had supper with my 2nd (and longest married) ex. We get together 3 or 4 times a year, golf together once in a great while. While I did not want the divorce, at least it was amicable as it could be at the time, and since we had property and she was making lots more $$ than me, she paid ME as part of settlement. No kids, though, and I know that is a HUGE diff, always. Hoping for the best all round for ya, - OS

Good for you.... We might have to get together and have a KahrFest sometime. (you'll probably win) - OS

Maybe. Eventually. - OS

Well, buckshot ain't gonna "spray" more than about 3-4" circle in 25-30 feet or so, even from a pretty short barrel. And in that distance with a long gun, you really SHOULD hit the target, eh? Much easier than with a pistol, under stress or not. - OS

Reckon she's coarse enough? - OS

Oh, no no, no offense of any kind taken. It's just such a HUGE subject, with so many variables with caliber size, type of bullet, type of powder load, etc. Often evolves into Holy War. Tell ya the truth, my comment started out to be (of those you mentioned) "forget .32 and .380 as a PRIMARY defense round. Most would agree, a few would not. Also, you left out .38 in your main common rounds that you mentioned....very versatile round especially in +P variant, can be used in .357 gun of course, and many prefer that INSTEAD of .357 in their gun. For sure, though, if you only need defense around the home, it's difficult to beat a 12 ga. shotgun for awesome stopping power. As much as I like handguns, I'll grab a shottie for sure if I can. And have, a couple of times in the distant past, though never had to fire it in anger (the sight of it sufficed). A $325 Remington 870 or equivalent is the best bang for the buck in all of firearms, IMNSHO. It's just a little much to carry around concealed - OS

Never mind. (wish we could delete posts)

Boy, talk about tasteless. We sprung for a really fancy wedding at IHOP. - OS

I've shot at least 300 rounds of the Winchester White Box (115 gr FMJ) through my Kahr PM9. Never a prob. Never a misfire or failure to feed. - OS

Totally agree that if she wants to be able to use same handgun, but doesn't want to spend much range time getting hip to it, revolver is the way to go. If you go that route, you can't beat Ruger SP101 for size/reliability/value unless you want one that's lighter and a little smaller in which case you probably want a pricier S&W (although Taurus and Charter Arms offer less expensive similar capability but with some debate as to durability compared to Ruger/S&W). My pre-inflation .02, - OS

Hmmm... Ask "janwbrown616"? http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10626 Actually, maybe it's a good thing. Less likely to shoot yer goober off! - OS

You ever have anything else "lost in the mail"? - OS

Good for you brother... Be safe and vigilant. -OS

Just in Case Hint: Note that is highly recommended (by Kahr AND users) to chamber first round using slide release, rather than manually pulling back slide. Most common first "problem" with Kahrs (not really a problem). Most users say after breaking in they have no probs doing it manually, but I still use slide release, even after 500 rounds, as I find it just as easy, and dead on reliable. Also, suggested you clean the pistol before first firing... I did, but dunno if that's really necessary. But I WOULD at least lock slide back and put a drop of oil on the metal slide rails in the body, underneath back of slide, on barrel, etc, cycle slide/dry fire a few times, wipe down. Reason for all this is that these small 9mm, .40, .45 babies are built to quite close tolerances, and you don't want to run them "dry", especially until you've loosened them up a little with shooting. - OS
