Sounds about right for Leahy.

From everything I've read it is a fantastic round. 357 Mag performance with half the recoil and blast. Add to that you get an extra round in the cylinder and it's all pluses. The only negative I've found is that plinking ammo is hard to find. Plenty of defensive stuff available but not so much on target stuff. That being said, you can shoot any of the .32's (.32 H&R, .32 short, .32 Long, .32 S&W) out of it so maybe you can get practice rounds that way.

For the record I agree with most of the sentiments but McQuerry's observation WAS reported to the police and they nor the DA pursued charges. This whole thing stinks. I can't imagine all these people protecting someone like it appears they did unless there is more to the story. I'm holding final condemnation until the rest of the facts come out.

Like you I am making some assumptions However, when I sold for Comcast i was told that they needed an average cost of $79 per TV subscriber and $45 per Internet subscriber to be able to make ends meet. Read into that what you will, but I don't see those numbers adding up to lowering normal subscribers rates. It is "their" decision on the surface but I addressed that in my other post. To maintain their market area "monopolies" they have had to make agreements with the government that allows the government to dictate certain terms under the table. This is well documented in many places.

Your premise is wrong. Increased sales from discounts only works in favor of the business if the margin is still above or at cost on the "loss leader". It also assumes that the customers buying at "cost" will spend more in bulk once they are in the door. Either way the business makes money on increased spending. By spreading the margin over more items the business is able to turn out more product more efficiently (lower cost) and so make the same margin on more items than they were making previously on less items. In the ISP/computer case the government is either subsiding product well below cost or requiring it to be sold below cost with no intent of increased customer spending. in fact the very premise that these people don't have enough for the normal cost dictates that they will not be spending on more product. So, while there may be more "business" it is not generating more income or more product sold with nominal margin enough to generate income for the business. In fact you get a negative flow. More company expense with less income means exactly what everyone has been telling you - increased cost for those who pay the nominal rate. The Y is different. It IS subsidized by outside donations and money to make up for the loss. If outside donations cease or lessen rates go up and income based programs are adjusted accordingly.

If you want to see how successful this will be look at the car companies, banks, ....... There is no difference. Yes, they are making a business decision that will make them rich in the short term and eventually ruin them long term. The CEO's know they are on the government hit list and are getting their money now before they have to run. Government wants to control information - plain and simple. The ISP companies have made their bed with government by agreeing to free market killing laws so they can keep their monopolies and make bank in the short run. In turn the government controls their distribution and lets them remain monopolies. We all know how well symbiotic government programs work out for the consumer and the economy.

I really liked the original upper, but it was a little heavy for my kids (being an SPR barrel and all). The combination of the barrel I have now and the really light Troy rail make this very light.

Nah, just the dot-matrix, but I figured it was good enough. BTW - here is what my OP tuned into. Sabre mid length upper, Sabre lower, Troy TRX Extreme 11", Troy Lo-pro GB, Magpul BUIS, Tango Down Battle grip, Vltor Mod Stock, and EOTech 512.

No. They ruled that it caused undue suffering in open wounds and so it is not legal. The irony is that lightweight obsidian, that has been pre-fragmented so that it breaks apart on impact and tumbles inside the wound channel, is perfectly legal. Go figure! I told it bounces around inside the target and makes a nasty mess.

My biggest concern how much you have to have before the ATF (I'm assuming they govern this) considers constructive intent and whether or not it is safer to have a manufacturers license?

Brent I too have been thinking this through. Here's my thoughts. Lately I've been simplifying my weapon choices and ammo choices to make the most viable worst case scenario choices. I recently acquired a revolver but that got me thinking about making even better weapons/survival choices. I figured ammo availability, carry-ability, conceal-ability, and efficiency were key components. So after searching to the end of the internet through swords, knives, spears, auto's, revolvers, black powder, bows, and calibers I made some choices. I had already unwittingly begun to stockpile the best ammo around and realized my best choice were rocks! I mean seriously who wants to get hit in the head with a rock! The unlimited resources around from abandoned quarries, river beds, bluffs, my own backyard, and driveways means I can always have a supply of readily available weapons that can also be easily carried. My weapon platforms are also nearly unlimited. With a simple slingshot I can use pea-gravel like shotgun ammo and then quickly change to larger jagged rocks for close in heavy damage or switch to smooth brook stones for long range accuracy. I can also use a simple sock filled with different weights and sized stones to make less-than-lethal to lethal club. If it gets really bad I can always just use what God gave me and throw them with great accuracy. My biggest question is if I want to break large boulders or obsidian into smaller weapon specific sizes would I need a manufacturer license? I know once the SHTF it won't matter, but I'm just thinking about getting ready before it all goes bad. Share you thoughts. BTW - here are my "hidden in plain sight" stockpiles of ammo. The rear "walkway" is what I'm going to use for shotgun type ammo for the high powered sling shot and the front "driveway" is my larger heavy duty weapon stockpile. I may need to move closer to a river bed to get an ample supply of long range "sniper" loads. Rear "walkway" Front "driveway"

Thing is I have an AR that is no longer th one above! Sold the Stag lower and got a Sabre to go with the upper. Then I got a good offer for the upper so I traded it for another upper and cash. So the only things left from that picture are the BUIS, grip, stock, mag, and EOTech. Funny how these things go.

If it is indeed a spring issue, check with Wolff. You can get an assortment of springs and find what works. Springs for GLOCK Semi-Auto Pistols

HKS 36A and a TUFF QuiclStrip

You mean the SP101 you just got a couple weeks ago! Haha. Yeah the trigger on the LCR is definitley something I can handle better than the other revolvers I 've played with.

I've been thinking about getting a lightweight carry revolver for awhile and when this one came in the store on a trade, I decided to pick it up. So far I love it. Being an auto/SA guy my biggest problem with a revolver has always been the double action trigger but the LCR is about as good as I could hope for. Even the Smith Pro series have heavier DA than I would like (although they are sweet!) Anyway, her it is with the Hi-Viz FO front sight which are a very nice addition IMO. BTW - the Tuff QuickStrips are a must have if you are going to carry extra loads.

Limp wristing is my first and best guess. It may not seem like it but in that short a gun with that hot a load you're probably flexing more than you realize.

Yeah, it would look good with a Nikon scope on it! Haha. Think I'll keep it for a while.

If it's fair your after, hang out in the woods with a spear and a Salmon. Seriously, hunting is not "fair" in just about every format. That being said, there is a difference between food hunters and fun hunters. I don't like "fun" hunters in any form. I personally don;t care how "food" hunters get it as long as it's safe, and responsible to the environment.

Good call IMO.

I gotta say the two Ultrafire flashlights I've had have been great. They've held up great and are super bright. Battery life is very good as well. For the money they are hard to beat and i won't feel bad if the kids loose one or they get beat up. Here are the ones I have. Would probably go with the single light mode on the next one. Ultrafire C1 R2-WC 5-Mode Memory 250-LM LED Flashlight with 2*Assault Crowns (2*CR123A/1*18650) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme BTW - the 18650 battery is a single battery that takes the place of two CR123's. In my exerience they aren't as strong as two good CR123's but the battery life is a lot longer.

Also, add the extended grip mag and it makes a nice handling gun a great handling gun. Picture above show the extended mag.
