hipower

I'm sure it's pretty obvious. It was the first really good pistol I bought. Then I took it to a bowling pin match one weekend and learned why most of the guys were using 45's. After the humiliation was over, one of the guys said something to the effect of "Hey Hipower, get a bigger gun." So I kinda liked it and used it when registering on the forum.

Amen, Brother! We must all be keenly aware of the actions necessary to retrieve ths nation from the liberal/socialist infuences funded by George Soros and his minions. As you say, the beginning is retaking the Congress; then the Presidency. And along the way, fighting to keep the Constitution from being re-interpreted/reinvented by the Judicial and Executive branches.

:-\:drool:

Well said.

Humor and Intelligence...and sooner than I expected.

Please stop this mugging while I reload my gun.

How can you question and reject the sanctity of ages-old Southern dialectial tradition? Isn't it Karmel Apple pie? Karmel apples? Karmel toffee? Surely we can bend pronunciation just a bit for the Old South. Can't we? Ya'all ain't frum around hear air ye?

You guys are making me want to go check out the M&P line. Stop it. I don't need another!....Yet.

I think you have a well-thought out plan there. In most cases, I think having her husband do the teaching is a big mistake. As you say, ego and the "I know all about this" syndrome will rear its ugly head and cause problems. I learned the hard way when I first took my wife shooting. It didn't go too badly, but the tension was there and caused her to feel uncomfortable.I think the best course is exactly what you have outlined for her. Having your wife go with her will sure calm her, if necessary, and give support. A good pair of hearing protectors should be sufficient for her, with foam earplugs as a backup. I haven't bought new ones in quite a while, but most gun shops will have them and so will the sporting stores as well. I wish them well on this trip. Let us know how it goes. I have a 21-year old cousin moving to Nashville soon and plan to take her to several places and pick a course for her permit as well.

Good Lookin' rifle there fella! Wanna donate it to a poor man short on weapons?

Welcome from Nashville! And Thank You for your Service to our country!

The times call for a complete and thorough evaluation of your situation in respect to ones job. Does a company policy prohibit carry? Can you have a weapon on company grounds? Does the area or the job cause you concern for your safety? These just scratch the surface on what to cover in considering going armed. My previous employer banned all weapons; even tried to stop the carry of pocket knives; on company grounds and in company vehicles. Most of us ran routes of 200/400 miles per day, carrying product and collecting for sales and due bills from customers. Oficially, this was the case. However, several did carry with the knowledge that it would cost our jobs if found out. So you must ask yourself if the lose of the job is worth the risk to you. Is your life worth more than the job? Each situation may be different, but I know what my awnser would be in the case of pizza delivery. Care to guess what I did on my job?

I can't decide whether to cry or rage against this scum. One of the very few good things to come out of prisons is that most of those incarcerated will feel as we do and take care of this pitiful excuse for a human being for us.

^^Great advice! All too often, we are overly influenced by other people and their stories of gun issues. Although there are exceptions, not all guns of a particular type or model will have the same troubles. When you get it, check it out, clean it well, and go shooting. Find out for yourself!

Good to have you here, Jerry. Welcome and Thanks for your Service to our Country. And you're not old--just experienced.

I found these at the local Harbor Freight outlet for $2.99, not the $21.95+s&h here. It's fun to use, but no better than a tennis racket or a 2x4. The battery power does put out a pretty stong tingle for a short time, so don't pat the wife or girlfriend on the butt with it;...or maybe do.

My bil has an orginal Coonan and it's great. I'd like to see the new product up close and personal, but I'd definitely be interested. Seems that we moved slightly off track there. But everyone's right; the 1911 bug bites without warning and doesn't let loose. But at least the bite isn't fatal, just expensive to treat.

+1. My sincerest hope.

Wonder what the "official" attendence was at all these gatherings? Must have been at least "hundreds."

You're right. Just enough correct information to be worrisome. I really dislike having anything out there I didn't want. But I guess 1984 has finally come to pass.

Georgeous Springer! Sorry I didn't find it first.

tax refund coming!

Ditto. I'd love to get my hands on that for a shooting session!

I have an XD in 357sig. Great pistol--accurate, a little snappier than a 45 round, but not unmanagable. It has a little harsher muzzle blast with almost any load and is quite loud. I also just acquired a Glock 30 and much prefer it to the 357. Just my preference. My only complaint with the little glock is that I get the occasional finger pinch from the gap with the grip and magazine. Just have to watch my hold and it's fine. Either should be a good choice, just pick the most comfortable for you and go.
