  1. Congratulations on the house. I hope all goes really well for you.
  2. Under the circumstances outlined by the OP, I'd agree completely with you. But could there be more to this story? Is it true? Seems like the sort of thing that the left would jump all over and use to the absolute limit. Just saying..
  3. As others here, have used umc for years without problems. But I did notice the shorter length when I used some in my CZ Rami 2075. And I did have feed issues with it. Rounds were all over the place--misfeeds and double feeds. Changed ammo and no more problems. But I have since used that same box in an xd9 without incident. I wouldn't distrust it for all use, just found problems that day with that particular gun.
  4. Eve so, it's still a good job. Most of us fear messing up the looks of a gun. You went for it and made the changes yourself. And they turned out right.

    SD 40

    Me, too. I've got a Sigma 40 that John Wall at Eastside Gun worked on and it's pretty good. Has a smoother, lighter trigger and feels very much like my Glock 22 to me. But even so, an upgrade to the Sigma platform is a good thing.
  6. Sorry I'm a little late with this comment, but enjoy the warthog. I have a buddy with one and it's great. But as Garufa suggested...check out the CZ Rami 2075. I traded for a used one and it's a great little pistola. Shoots almost as well as my Glock 30. Just had to get a plastic gun reference in.

    Sig owners?

    Currently have a 229. Great gun, accurate, reliable, and as mav said...a boat anchor. Regret selling a bi-tone 220, one of the best 45 pistols I've ever owned. Considering a 239.
  8. You know, on the surface, that's a scary thought...But after due reflection, it's just downright frightening.
  9. Eric, I will add Matt to my prayer list. God Bless.
  10. Tremors, one of the funniest movies of the genre. Let's go watch it again.
  11. Sorry for you, GG. Had mine done about 10 yeas ago. If you're not overweight, you shouldn't have any real problems. I was packing around some extra poundage and was sore when bending or getting in and out of a car for a while. But it really isn't too bad nowadays.
  12. A four foot tall lamp made from the petrifed husk of a saguaro cactus.
  13. Mark, really glad to see the M37 survived. My wife had a similar occurance several years ago. She was sitting at a light waiting to make a left turn from the marked turn lane. While waiting, a 16-yr old girl decided the my wife wasn't moving fast enough to suit her. The teen drove her new Nissan Sentra around the left side of my old lifted Chevy Blazer 4X4; the kind with real steel bumpers; to make a Right turn. See where this is headed? About the time said teenage driver in low plastic Nissan pulls around the big, tall hunk of metal Blazer--the left turn arrow comes on. The result--some brown paint on the right front bumper end of the Chevy. The Nissan didn't fare so well. The right side of the Sentra hung the bumper end at the top of the fender, peeled it back, raked both passenger side doors and breaking windows, gashed the rear quarter panel, hooked the rear tire and bent the axle, and finally ripped thr rear cover almost totally off the car. During this my wife is terrified she's going to run over the top of the Sentra and just locks the brake after moving a coulpe of feet...Needless to say Metro officer arrives at the scene and asks my wife to move out of the traffic, and and where is the other vehicle involved. As Susan tells the story, the officer is shaking his head and trying not to laugh. About this time I roll up(I got called real quickly, Susan was worried that my toy was hurt) look for damage and can't find anything, look at her face, look at the Sentra, and try to figure out how to tell my insurance agent about this. No one will believe it. Anyway after the paperwork is done the young girl says her dad will really be upset. This is the second new car in about three months. So I guess this just shows the idiot driving gene is everywhere.
  14. Congraatulations to vandutton! He may have just caused an unbelievable event on TGO. A unanimous vote. BTW, van. I agree that's a very poor trade for you. I like my keltec, but the springer is much better.
  15. Hey, but at least she can enunciate the lyrics and be understood. Unlike some of the screaming banshee styles of today where the lyrics are so foul you have to drown them out with noise...uh music, that is. Yeah, I know I'm just old and don't like the kid's music today. But that's okay, you'll be there someday too.
  16. Man, I like George, But that outfit hurt my eyes even back then.
  17. Tactically disaproved response: For GGP2JZ Steelharp > Ppphhhhhhfffftttttt!!!! Capbyrd For tntnixon, I know what you mean brother.
  18. Yes. Or a PT1911 can be had in the 500 range.
  19. Like Jamie, I have too many to list. But usually on the top of the pile will be found some of these; in no particular order. Brad Paisley/Garth Brooks/Jethro Tull/Al Stewart/Sugarland/Jimmy Buffet/Matt Murphy/SRV/BB King/Marty Robbins/Johnny Horton/Marc Cohn/Mark Knoffler/Blues Brothers/Meatloaf/and did I mention Jennifer Nettles and Sugarland..really like her...and her voice too.

  21. I found this thread just in time for breakfast menu planning.
  22. What Garufa said. I really regret selling a beautiful 39 some years back when the hicap phase hit us all.
  23. I have an XD40 Tactical and ended up trading for a Glock 22 last year. Personally, I don't think there's enough difference between the two to fuss over. Both shoot very well. Both are comfortable in my hand and I have a most agreeably low cost in each. The only thing I really can say is that I prefer the grip safety on the XD now that I've shot both enough to break them in. But to confuse the issue, I prefer my Glock 30 to the XD45.
