If you check the date on that (1992) I think you will find it outdated and that the consensus has changed since then.

Here's one we see eye to eye.

While I'm no expert the way it was relayed to me was like boxers. .45 is like a lumbering heavy weight who relies on shear mass to exert power. He is slower but more power behind a his punch due to the mass behind it. 9mm is akin to a middleweight that has tremendous power but relies heavily on speed and quickness to transfer the power of his punch. while the analogy has obvious holes it made sense to me. In a .45 you want the biggest heaviest bullet because speed is not really a factor. In 9mm, velocity is the main factor. So the size and speed relationship is critical when choosing a load. That is why .357 SIG and .357 Mag are such powerful and effective rounds. Different principles to achieve effectiveness.

He is one I posted awhile back and is pretty good. www.elitedealseeker.com

Federal HST 124g +p, Hornady TAP 124g 9mm, or Winchester Ranger-T/SXT 124g +p depending on what I can get and what I have left over.

This week... Glock 19. Of course that is until I trade it for a new flavor:D

The debate rages, but what I have generally found in 9mm is that velcoity/weight ratio is the key to expansion. Most of what I have seen shows 147g doesn't move quickly enough for its weight and 115g may be a little light. That being said I tend to go with a 124g +p HST or Ranger-T/SXT. I assumed 147g +p would get similar results but I haven't seen test to prove it. Rather I have seen the opposite. There doesn't seem to be enough powder capacity to push 147 (even in +P+) to necessary velocities. When it's all said and done no one knows and it is what you feel most comfortable with as almost every bullet and weight has plusses and minuses. Just remeber .45 and 9mm operate on completley different principles and so the logic of one will not tranlate to the other.

Uhh, Thieves! The most cowardly of all criminals. I had an old trailer my dad had hobbled together over the years stolen out of my yard and some kids that broke in our van to steal about 15 dollars worth of diapers and diaper bags. Just annoying and stupid cause they are likley to eat a bullet if I ever catch them.

Revolutions and revivals are lead by the young and tempered by the old. I too see more hiding than fighting. We have stripped the understanding of necessary force from our young people and turned them into psycho babbling who think they can "talk" their way out of anything. "Walk softly and carry a big stick" comes to mind. I see all these " War is not the Answer" bumper stickers and I just have to shake my head. War is a the only answer when the enemy does not understand logic, truth, or reason.

That was definitely a great scene! "You don't remember me? We talked don the phone a couple of days ago. I told you I would find you and kill you." It is the follow up to the preview most folks have seen.

My 2 yr old came in from the kitchen tonight with his hands covered in peanut butter. Would have been alright except he had tried to wipe them off using his hair and clothes!

Very nice and great pictures to boot!

oh, BTW you all do realize that without "big oil", Walmart, and the other evil corporations out there (actually making profits) your stinking IRA's and any market retirement plans would be worth less than nothing? They are the only thing, if you were smart, keeping any market system we have with a breath.

The only reason there is "Big Oil" is the US government. We've been over this a million times and it seems that some just want to live on Fantasy Island and continue to demonize the Oil companies. For conspiracy nuts and Ron Paul supporters some of you sure drink the cool-aid the liberal media and Dem feed you. Hate "big oil", Walmart, and corporations and all will be right. Yeah, that's it. They are what cause all of our ills! Big Oil is only big because the government has completely limited any possibility of competition by using the EPA, drilling bans, and OPEC bed fellows. They have created monopolies that they can control and exploit for their own interest. "Big oil" makes 10% margin on a product they research, drill, refine, produce, and bring to market. The government makes 25% and produces nothing!

Couldn't find the bathroom. They kept it well hidden and under lock and key!

And what about when we were paying 1.42 at the pump and crude was at $42 a barrel? This gets so old. Margins are set. There are very few gouging cases and most of those are local shops and wholesalers. "Big Oil" has set margins and have very little to do with gas prices. The biggest factors in prices are Government, OPEC, and Venezuela. Jump on them.

You gotta remember too that refined gas is bought ahead of time on contracts from wholesalers. The price you are paying now is based on crude oil sometimes a year in the rear. It is not a direct correlation between crude, gas, and time. Also as had been said, winter blends cost more, especially with all this global warming, due to much of it being refined for heating.

I know. I gotta stop changing guns like you did your underwear!

HaHa, it was my day off and tonight was my Valentine's date with my wife (gotta work weekends)! Also had my special date day with my 5 yr old daughter earlier and we went to Chuck E. Cheese's! Hmmm, gun shops in the AM, Chucky E. Cheese with my daughter midday, and date with my wife at Outback and a thrill movie?..... it was a good day off!:D:D ... also sold my M&P9(), but found a great deal on a G19()!

Man this guy is out of it! Sad part is his brother died from this stuff! http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/d78535c1d0/joaquin-phoenix-on-letterman-2-11-09

No show!

Saw it tonight and all I can say is awesome. If you have kids, especially a daughter, it can be pretty emotional. Plenty of great action and gun play and a very realistic, believable plot. Not gory at all, but intense and to the point. Go see it!:koolaid::koolaid:

Granted I've only been to his Rivergate store once and his Franklin store once, but..... he definitely seemed more attentive to his clientele in Franklin than i was recieved at Rivergate. while some of the bathroom stuff was over the top, I do believe it made his eyes open a little wider to a segment of the gun world that was maybe forgotten. Just my extra .02:)

Stopped by Uselton today and since i am the one who stared the other thread and e-mails to 99.7, i thought I would share my impressions. My first impression is i can understand why his prices are so high. His overhead has to be through the roof. I also saw some of his clientele and they didn't appear to be the kind that minded the prices structure. They also didn't appear to be the types out at Hobson Pike or Joelton either. If nothing else his store is wroth seing just for the wildlife mounts. Whether he killed them or not it is very impressive. I remember thinking the same thing at his Rivergate store. The store is small, variety is limited (higher end), the staff were pleasant, and Glock prices were on the high side but not unreasonable for this time. I did not directly address Rick (he was on the floor) but he did ask me twice if i needed any help as did the two other folks behind the counter. My opinion on Uselton in regards to his 2a position or his character overall has NOT changed, but i think he has found a niche that will feed his store and I wish more power to him. I just won't ever be in that niche.

So, he is a guy with goals and his occupation is "Hustler"..... hmm interesting.
