I will also add that while the milled receiver is a more desirable collector item, they do have a tendency to crack where the barrel and receiver join up. They are also heavier.

Of those you listed I like the XD the best. The SR9 seem to have issues and have been under a recall already. I like them they just make me uneasy. Taurus gives me that same feeling and I get the impression they are hit and miss. Though you didn't mention it, I have been using a CZ P07 and it is an excellent pistol, with a manual safety, hammer fired, and Glock 19ish size. I've had XD's, Glocks, and SIGS and I like the P07 the best. Plus they are going pretty cheap ATM. Think $300ish.

That's the best thing going right now. You can't convert to that extent for nearly that price. Plus they have the dimples, most Saiga's do not, and you might even get one with the third "x". If that matters to you.

The Bulgarians are very good and you can get them for less than $500 ATM. Saiga's are the way to go if you want the joy of doing it yourself. If not Arsenals have come way down and they are using Saiga's now and will be in your budget.

The "enemy camp" IS HIS camp! It's like saying my wife and kids are the enemy.

I trying to find out how to get involved in this sport. Any suggestions?

I agree the wife. Mine watches something and al the sudden she has a new fear. Fortunately she is cool with the guns, but don't get me started on helmets and car seats! Drives me crazy. Generations of people never wore helmets when riding bikes and sat/laid all sorts of ways on family trips and we seemed to have come along just fine. Not to say safety isn't important, but come on!

Glad it's going to work out. Do we need to pre-register or just show up?

Myself and possible a friend would be interested.

Question is, what officer up the line pushed this through. You can't tell me that SO leadership is this soft to take their guys down over a punch in the face. Somebody made this an agenda. No this isn't a conspiracy theory, just wondering who the sell out is.

No words can describe my disgust. Give them the medal they deserve and a parade.

Now here's an interesting comment:

They are a cheap version of the Uzi in a lot of ways. They churned them out (full auto's that is) before the full auto ban in '86 and then continued to make semi versions. There are a lot of after market do dads for them, mostly for the auto versions, so you need to be careful not to get into trouble with the ATF. I've never heard anything bad about them other than they are pretty spartan. Magicarpetrides has a auto one. Might check with him.

A sheriff called Bunny. Now that's one tough cop name! Welcome BTW!

Well looked under there and all four boots look to be in good shape and "dry". No grease to speak of. While driving there isn't any "drag", acceleration, or steering issues. The only thing is this stupid buzzing sound that comes on at about 25-30 MPH and increase with speed. Weird.

Anyone know anything about U-Joints or CV joint on a 2004 Pontiac Montana minivan. Thing drives fine but hums like my old bike with a baseball card in the spokes! Is it easy to fix or something that is gonna cost me dearly?

Excellent guns.

Two steps forward one step back. Had a "clean bill" been passed it would have been challenged as well. Then what? It leaves no answer to an argument. Sometimes you have to work through their stupidity with them. This is how difficult things get passed. Relax.

They can put injunctions on laws till the matter is resolved in the legislature or higher court I do believe.

I would say that the most popular one is the 19 followed by the 26/27, but I would be interested to know the numbers myself.

These are the same guys who made the Red House "Racial Harmony" commercials. and how bout this one.

I like the second Glock idea. Holsters and mags will be interchangeable.

It should be fine.

I've seen barrels from $150 - $185 and you may be able to find someone who has one laying around that will give you a deal.

That's what some of the Tacticool guys will tell you, but the truth is AR's are picky eaters that tend to need a lot of attention. This is just one of those things. A stronger extractor spring will take care of it. Then you can shoot the cheap stuff.
