  I'll be the first to admit that I have an affinity toward 1911's but this statement is about as closed minded as it gets, and is entirely subjective to personal taste.   I'd bet you a box of ammo that my M&P 45 will run longer in nastier conditions than just about any mass-produced 1911 on the market currently and cost a whole hell of a lot less.

What he said.

If I were going to deviate very far from the Glock or M&P families living with me, I'd head straight for the FN FNX-45 Tactical. Edited to add... gun porn!

It hasn't let up here.  We've got about 1.5 - 2.0" of ice on the yard, road, driveway, etc.  Temperatures don't rise above freezing for a few days per the weather reports, and now snow is back in the forecast for Friday.   I'll be keeping myself sane by working on TGO behind the scenes.  Some of you may go nuts with the subtle changes I have planned.  :D

I love my 1911s but if I had to have just *one* 45ACP it would be my 4-inch (aka Mid-length aka Middy) M&P 45.  But I would like a Gen4 Glock 21 to try on for size.

  Nah just my favorite video looped infinitely.   Stop!   Collaborate and listen...

Unless she told you to go get it right now and don't come back until you have one, take your time.  :)

Holy crap... you're all over the place with indecision.  Wait!  Don't buy anything until you know what you want.  It's called "COLD hard cash" for a reason; it's not really going to burn a hole in your pocket.

Very cool.

  For this reason I am grateful that they export their beer to the other states.

Nashville's meteorologists couldn't accurately predict if the sun will rise tomorrow. No real surprise there.

  I think that's it for for me, really.  The stillness and the quiet.  Nothing beats a walk in the snow early in the morning before anyone else is out and about.  Snow tends to put things on "pause" as it were.   I like that.

  Yeah I've got a buddy who was born and raised around Boston and he mentions that one frequently.  I made the "My face when..." meme for him actually.

I grew up far enough north of here that we actually got "real snow" back in the 70s and 80s, and bad enough snow in the 90s that folks down here would have had a conniption.  I'll never forget the winter of '95 or '96 (can't really remember which) when all I had to drive were my work van and my '93 Z28.  I took the Z out because it at least had enough weight to make it around.  :lol:

That's easy... 45c.

I'm currently trying to make a horse drink on a Facebook page.  Guy buys a Wolf .40SW to 9mm conversion barrel and wants to know why his Glock is short cycling.  It's the spring.  He didn't change the spring weight so of course a 9mm isn't going to have the oomph to fully cycle the slide on a brand new Gen4 Glock 23 guide-rod.   Some other putz from Columbia, TN keeps telling him it's lack of lubrication.   Jumping Jesus on a pogo-stick... Glock's don't need a whole lot of lube.  Lubricating them at all is just being nice to them.  I've run my 19 to the point that all oil had long since burned off and what was left had mixed with so much dirt and grime that it was more abrasive than lubricative.  But this jackwagon still wants to argue that the guy needs to lube it and all of his problems will go away.   If you're that jackwagon and you're a member of TGO, please raise your hand so I can argue with you here too.   :bored:

Sounds like he was drunk.  I dislike happy drunks almost as much as I dislike angry drunks.  Almost. Either way... I'm incredibly intolerant of my personal space being violated.

Yeah, it's very impressive.  The craftsmanship and attention to detail is incredible and the fact that all of those clean lines and symmetrical shapes didn't come from a machine but someone's skilled hands makes it even more impressive to me.   I know some of the folks on the forum are into blacksmithing so I thought I'd pass that one along.  The guy is an absolute artist.

  Sorry, I just don't live in that world.

  Why would I do that?  See, this is my point.  I tend to think that a small perk for me founding the site would be to keep the barrel.  Everyone else seems to think they should get a swipe at it too.

  It cost me less to tell them all to go pound sand.  :)

  Now that's some funny stuff right there.  :lol:
