BHunted...sorry for your troubles brother. That's all pretty rough timing, but glad you are safe.
Worst to happen to us was the 2010 flood her in Nashville. Won't bore you with all the details, but the damage list included 2 vehicles(Totalled by Insurance), HVAC system, and mold remediation under the house.
Not something I ever want to go thru again. Wouldn't wish it omy enemies!

Not nearly so bad as your incident, pop pop. I pulled an embarrassing stunt Monday afternoon. After taking a yard sale purchase my wife made to a location to be powder coated...I decided to unhook my 10 ft. utility and roll it into my usual storage spot.
Short version of a long story. I didn't get enough forward momentum to position it aginst the chocks and it rolled back on me. Dodged the tongue and frame, but backpeddling didn't work and I planted my butt on the gravel and had the trailer smack me in the leg before it stopped.
Now the leg is fine. At least as fine as bad leg can be. But my back and butt aren't to happy with me. Got some spectacular bruises...no pics on this...and sore low back and ribs. Wife didn't know i was doing this. So you can guess the conversation that ensued.
As I lay on the ground contemplating the vaguries of life and stupid old men that refuse to accept what we cannot do any longer...I just thought of more pleasant days...like when I could walk without a cane. Make love all night long and pleasure a woman to screams of ecextasy. Well the first part anyway.
Cursing myself heavily, I had to crawl over to the bumper of my vehicle to have a brace to get up. Then wifey pokes her head out and asks what's taking so long!
Women!!
Glad you are ok. If your doc is anything like mine...it could be an interesting conversation as you attempt to explain why you thought you could do this. Good luck with it.

Probably not, but the TS2O is a lot more expensive.
A quick glance at GB has Rival-S guns for $1300 or so. Back in the spring, they were $900 locally. At $900 I would grab one, but $1300 is too much.
Fool that I am...I passed by a Rival soon after hearing of it. Very big mistake! Finding one, and getting "fair" price on it is getting harder to do.
As far as the "chrome" finish...Oh Yes! I'd take one. I'm a big Canik fan. Have been for years. Was trolling for them here all along. lol. But really guys, the Canik line is amazing. I have a very hard time with chosing between Walther and Canik.
Recently got a 22 mag Walther, but...I must admitit; I think the Canik SF line has Walther beat. Now if Canik comes out with a 22 mag...Lord I'm in BIG trouble!

Wonderful to hear this. All your friends here are happy for you and we will continue to pray for your recovery.
My brother-in-law had a quadruple bypass in 2012/13? Took him a bit less time to recover his "normal" mobility. But he was a stubborn jackass. Refused to go by the proscribed regimine and had lots of pain because of it. Just do it the right way and you'll be fine.
Legs may not be as pretty though! LOL!

So sad. A really great guy from all I've seen on him over the years. And like res308, watched many reviews from him. He will be missed by many across America.
Condolences to his family and friends.

I want to see this movie. I’ve been hearing good things about it. I’ve also been hearing that the “Helly-weird” elites are mad about it, which, to me, is also hearing good things about it.
Yes. It seems to be raising the hackles on the left bigtime! So many are praising this that I may have to drag the wife to a theater next week!
Plus has Jim Caviezal! A great actor. A man of Conviction and stands by it!
My more liberal friends are putting it down. That's good enough for me!

One of the members on here told me a few months after the launch that they saw one in Murfreesboro. I called, placed it on hold and jumped in the truck. It is a great handgun and I love shooting it.
These really are Good photos! Make the pistol look even better. I must admit, it was very hard to lay the one I held back down. It just looked so great. The finish was awesome on it. But now got my juices up on a Bobcat 22. Just like the idea of the can being bigger than the pistol and a weakness for 22. BAD.

I picked up a SA-35 back in May. Love it!
I'm a big Hi-Power guy anyway. I currently have five. Unfortunately range time has been kinda hard to come by the last couple of months. So far, I only have about 300 rounds through it. But Its performed perfectly. 
I read in the original articles that SA re-shaped the hammer slightly just to avoid the dreaded bite.
He's mine along with a few friends.
version?
With my "clones" and the Detective, I've a few more than that, but nothing to brag about. Hmmm...don't you need a nice Tanget Sight model to go with those? LOL.
Have you seen the FN Herstal BDA Browning 9mm version? Sweet little pistols. A bit smaller than our Detective models.

All of the above comments! This is one sweet looking Smith! My fondness for 45acp revolvers makes me very envious of you!

Thanks, Skyhunter for your thoughts on the SA 35. I've been screaming that I would purchase one asap. lol. Well, I ran across one recently, but had to pass it by...for now.
Being old, retired, and no play money left; I had to pass on this one. (I had just bouth another Walther. LOL.) So I made the very hard decision to wait. Trying to not use CC and remove them from my life right now.
Anyway, I agree with your physical assessment of the pistol. A big hesitation came while I was fondling the SA35...it sure does look and feel like a CZ75! In fact, I was having flashbacks to my range time with the 75!
Yes similar, but I probably will not let that little detail stop me in the future! I imagine it would shoot and handle every bit as good as the CZ.
So glad you gave in, and appreciate your comments.

You might be doing this, be careful.
The Man! The Legend! Charlie Daniels! There will never be another like him!
Little tidbit. Met Charlie briefly at the Nashville SureShot Chili Cookoff long, long ago. A real gentleman!

It’s correct Hale chose the school due to a perceived lack of security and the isolated nature of being on the hill. She had considered two other schools as well as a public location but determined she would have more success at TCS. This is written in her notes which I will address in a sec. While there was not an SRO at the school, measures were already being put in place to have trained and armed staff on site along with the active shooter training they had recently completed.
There was not a “Manifesto” as one might think. That was a poor choice of words for the police chief to use. There were 17 notebooks filled with research of every school shooting, logistics of the TCS building, camera locations, employee info, etc. Hale had been monitoring the building for two yrs and compiling info. She was hyper focused on this aspect thus the large amount of data on covenant and on how to successfully conduct a school shooting with maximum deaths. According to police, this was the most planned school attack in US history and they're still processing info. It’s an active investigation that they expect will take another year to complete. It’s true the police don’t want this research and info out there since it will most definitely aid future shootings.
As far as the school, church & parents not wanting the “manifesto” released, there are unwell people out there wishing harm towards the school as evidenced by continued letters and calls to the school. It’s unfathomable but the rumors people have created, pushed, and subsequent anger has made an unsafe environment for everyone there. My wife has fielded calls and received letters several times. People have traveled to Nashville to stalk the school. Releasing the notebooks would be equivalent to police releasing schematics and security details of your personal home knowing someone activity wants to hurt your family. Protection of staff and children who are still experiencing trauma from seeing their classmates killed is paramount.
Great comments, Sir. Good assessment of the situation and possible future events.
This tortured soul had problems. Of that there is little doubt. I question whether any one ideaology will explain this tragedy. All we can do is hope to learn from it and strive to protect our children and ourselves.
