The .357 Magnum is overrated.

Oh no, here we go again

I'm not sure how serious Rickles is trying to be, but whatever the case, I doubt he will ever find a rental Lorcin.

We enjoyed meeting Chance and Steve, and hope to be there next time as well.

I can't stay all night, but I'll be there at 7:00. I'll have on a yellow hat.

Friday the 21st at RUSA, right? I should be there.

I don't "carry more magazines than an infantryman in Iraq." I think that's a bit over the top. And in my case, the extra weight and bulk of a single mag is not an issue. The juror who concludes that you are a mall ninja for carrying an extra mag will probably go ahead and conclude that you are a mall ninja for carrying a gun. In a courtroom setting, an extra mag can easily be explained to have logical benefits. An expert witness (a retired police trainer, for instance) can clarify this even more. On the other hand, if you carry three guns, five mags, pepper spray, two knives, a stun gun, a flashlight, and a folding baton, your mall ninja argument is much more realistic.

Nope, I sure can't. I still like to be prepared, however. One local shootout involved a citizen with a carry permit who emptied his eight shot .45 and scored seven hits. A J-frame may have gotten him killed, no?

Ditto here. Any feedway malfunction is usually resolved more quickly with a fresh mag. The extra rounds are nice, but probably not necessary, although I am not one to rant about the average gunfight being three shots at five yards or whatever. That may be the average, but averages are calculated with highs and lows. Thus, it is entirely possible to attend a gunfight that will require 10 or 12 rounds. Like Tom Givens said, if one foot is on a block of ice, and the other is in a campfire, then, on average, your feet are comfortable.

I haven't been to one in a while, but I'm not fond of them any more due simply to the fact that they usually don't allow concealed carry. Some may simply ignore the "no CCW" rule, but I won't even go (packing or empty-handed).

One full mag w/ a Pierce +1 in the Glock 27 along with 12 more in a Glock 23 mag.

that and it costs 24 shares of Microsoft stock per mag of frangible .223

Yep, Andy Wise did in fact do some of the interviews.

Petit Jean State Park in AR

oops double post

Yeah, Slim-Fast is a miracle worker!

nightrunner, you're just not right.

I liked Shooter, but the book it was based on, Point of Impact, was top-notch. Also, I agree that Blazing Saddles was one of the greatest comedies ever. "Candy gram for Mongo, Candy gram for Mongo." "Mongo like candy..." BOOM

I have a pistol grip Mossberg, and a friend once bet me I wouldn't shoot a slug one-handed. I shot the whole box of 3" Remington slugs one-handed. It did hurt a bit, and my left hand shook for the rest of the day, but I won the bet. I actually got pretty good with it shooting off-hand at 25 yards. These guns are nothing when shooting from the hip.

But Mr. Rogers was a LRRP! I know because I read it on the internet!

+1 We got ourselves a 50" Samsung after Christmas last year, and until football season (Dallas Cowboys/UT Vols), I probably didn't watch the thing 10 hours. All I ever watch anyway (except football season) is a little MMA fighting and sometimes Outdoor Channel on Wednesday nights.
