Wish you were closer, I'd take at LEAST the HyrdaShok

This was my line of thought during the storm coverage last night. Not complaining about the coverage, just the commentary accompanying the news. The best part is "Send us your pics! Don't endanger yourself but send us your pics" Kinda sums up the social media generation. But no, they aren't going away, our leaders will continue to "protest" them from themselves. "protect" I think that was a Freudian slip on my part. Hope I die before I have to rely on these younguns.

Been working today so haven't checked outside yet. We had some strong wind and very heavy rain. I've never seen a tornado in person, but I have heard one go over. Pretty certain that's what the sound was before and after the moment of silence. God bless those who lost. And it doesn't sound like a train,,,exactly.

Did she find out how much you spent on firearms???

Sorry not familiar with any of your choices. But I can agree with those who have said a good holster and belt are crucial. I've carried a double stack all steel .45 under a shirt one size too large. And 4:00 position is best for me also. SOB hurts and I'm too fat for IWB. My fav summer piece is currently my Kimber Micro9, no spare mag but usually with a pocket rocket backup.

yep, been there done that. Also rubbed the corner of my eye once. And I use some really hot peppers. Thai peppers are outrageous.

Not a fan of the "modern" style exactly. I prefer the Para Ordnance look. But I do like many of the old look 2011s. the double stack 45 is definitely a great piece. Not saying the race gun style is bad, some are really good looking. I just prefer the original 1911 look.

Just seeing this thread but yep, bought a new Norinco back in the 90s for $89+ tax and sold it for $150. Still new in box never fired. It was around the time they came out with AK pistols and banned import of the cheap Chinese steel core ammo. I thought prices would drop. Now we know why I'm not in the stock market LOL

Beautiful. Pythons are my favorite revolver ever. And I've been looking at Five Star trying to decide what combination I want for my Taurus 608. I would be looking at wood grips too, they just have a look to them. Probably not the original Python style though. Congratulations on a great aquisition.

that was a low blow

Still available.

I see a few "died" on their sleeping mats.

well that's not as bad as I expected. Bad, just not as bad as expected.

that's just sweet. I love a carbine length rifle. Just a handy weapon.

I won't unless I hold off on lesser things LOL. I'd dearly love to have a high end SAA or 1911. And of course, this one after the wood is put to it.

SHHH, "THEY" will be after you! LOL

I couldn't get past top cause of death in children the first time. We know that is manipulated data. Got to Feinstien and the "assault weapons ban" the second try. FBI statistics prove that had no effect on crime. FJB still can't stop repeating stupidity like are the deer wearing Kevlar. I don't understand why anyone is still listening.

It's like mudslinging, trow everything you can and see what sticks. They have to know this will go through the court system like a runaway freight train. where is the line between a hobby and a business? Anyone can make a "profit" but can you sustain it and actually make a living at it.

Can't find a good pic but this is currently in the garage waiting for me to rebuild the engine. Got a little too rough with her and spun a rod bearing. She'll have to get a respray as the clear is peeling off now. She's a beast

OK, I have to ask the dumb question. Have you used the FTX in 300BO loads? FTX is what I run in my 30-30. The 300 likes heavier bullets and sub-sonic loads but it's fun with lighter bullets.

well...

That's funny! yeah, Dad traded me the 73 Polara, it had a 400 CID. I tried to trade fro a 68 Super Bee with a 440 4 speed and he nixed it. Said the 440 was too much. Hell the Polara would probably outrun the Bee! I had a 96 Regal 4 door. That pea green that it seemed most of them were. It was a very sweet car as long as I didn't look at the outside. Mama and I bought an 18 Regal TourX new, probably keep it till we die. But DMAN! a 69 RR for 3 grand was a bargain even in the 90s

Similar here, but mine was a 73 Polara retired interceptor. What it lacked in looks it made up for on the road. But MAN it rode rough. Traded it off for something with A/C. Guys I ran with all made fun until they saw it run. May have been a match for my 98 Trans Am. The T/A rides better though.

I agree the remake sucked. Loved the original but The California Kid may be my favorite. Not that I root for the bad guy but the Sheriff's car was bad cool and the coupe is an icon. My cousin had a 68 Marina blue 396 auto Chevelle SS. One of the prettiest Chevys ever.

Just as reference, there are a couple of beautiful unfired collector's pieces that came up on our classifieds today. I felt they were quite reasonably priced. I am not ashamed to say they are out of my price range but if I bought them (which I would) It would be unrealistic to expect I wouldn't shoot at least one of them. @monkeylizard There is always the option of carrying two, one for each hand or a New York reload.
