^ I concede. U 2 Win.

I thing we're all just giving TGODavid a hard time to see how far we can take this thread. I know everyone here is having fun with it, I sure am. Can we extend it to surpass the adventures of Voldemort?

My orginal safe came wired with outlets so I've used golden rod units with it. My second, larger safe, wasn't wired. So I used one of the mounting holes in the base and ran a line thru it and sealed with caulking. I am not really thrilled with my new safe, it doesn't seem to have as good a door seal on it. So being the paranoid that I am, I also have one of the Remington units I found on sale in it. It seems to work well, but as Magic said, they seem to need recharging pretty frequently. And lately I have been giving some thought to a room dehumidifier. My safes are in an area with a concrete floor and we have a humidity issue because of a running spring under the house. I have a haz-mat cabinet I found at a great price for ammo storage, so I really think the room dehumidifier is in my future. The local Essex store just got in some LG and Sears units selling for about 30 bucks, so that's my plan. If anyone is interested, I'll post my thougts on the results later.

The soundtrack from Trueblood season 1. Quite an interesting mixture of cajun infuences and about everything else. Nathan Barr's theme song is fantastic and hauntingly addictive. As is the show.

Right on both counts!

We older farts must stick together. Some of these young whippersnappers (man, really dated myself on that one, didn't I?) need to kept on a tighter leash and brought to heel occasionally.

Thanks for the translation. Like me, Rightwinger hung around "he-who-must-not-be-named" for a while and has been mentally altered by the experience.

Pardon me, but did you mean...O'Reilly?

Welcome. I've been in parts of your fine state many times and really love it... except for the winter. Really beautiful in the fall when I was there. Take it easy on the snow shovel.

Watch chew talkin bout, Willis? Perhaps I'm just too literal in my perception of some comments here; but I really sometimes wonder how seriously we take ourselves. I come here to learn from other people's experiences, share thoughts and opinions, hopefully make some new friends, and even buy a few guns. So far, I've managed to do all these things while having a great time on the board. But these verbal catfights sure do bring a fellow down. I really believe the majority of these events are all in good fun...just sometimes I'm not real sure. Goodnight guys. Oh, by the way.....SAINTS WON!!!!!

SAINTS WIN!!!! I love it!!! Manning:stunned::foot:

SAINTS WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Manning

Let's make that 4cents worth. I take a lot of flak for the same opinion as well.

Yikes! Talk about a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.

Welcome. And welcome back to the mainland when here. I started to send greetings to paradise, but after reading your post I'm not so sure. Are guns that restriced in the state?

Believe Colts will win.......sure would like to Saints do it to Manning tho!

Great looking! So many guns, so little money.

What to do? What to do? Been there often. However, I really like my xd9sc, and have thought about a .40 sc. But, as much as I like Springfields, I'd probably reach for the Taurus. Why? 9mm-.40? Too similar. Don't get me wrong, I have a couple of .40's and like them. But under your conditions;...Look out snakes! Now, even as a Taurus fan, I say check the Taurus sites. There have been some issues with the Judge series. Enough that you need to check them out very thoroughly before buying. Don't let me talk you out of it, just go into it eyes wide open. JMO

The more I shoot/handle mine; the more I appreciate it.

I agree with your assesment. Good looking finish.

Georgeous!! I hope to have one soon.

I didn't know that low a figure existed there. But Thanks. I'll check it out.

Local? Mail Order? I'm looking for carry gear for a model 30. Thanks.

I like the looks of it. Know several people who own and like them. It's down on my "someday" list; way too many toys ahead of it. But I do like the .22 Mag. One of the most fun guns I own to just go out and shoot is an old SW K-frame Combat Masterpiece in .22 Magnum. Deadly accurate and a blast to shoot. My dad used to use it for head shots on squirrels and wild turkeys in the woods. A real keeper.

The discussion over brand reliability will go on forever. I personally believe the quality of workmanship on each individual gun is more important than brand or caliber. I have a keltec 32 that functions reliabliy and didn't ''require" an extended breakin period. The first session I put 100 rounds downrange and try to do that once a month with it just to keep familiar with it. Round count should be in the 2000+ now. I have had three PT145's and had no problems with either of them The same with a Milpro PT140. But I have friends who have had issues with the same pistols. One of the best shooting guns I own is a SW Performance Center 945 Micro Pistol. The most I've ever paid for a gun in my life. But I just had to have a "dependable, high priced 45." It's probably the worst functioning pistols ever--FTF's,FTE's, slide lock issues, magazine problems (just try to find mags for them--almost 6 months from Smith @ 49.00 each). And this out of the Performance center! Yet I have other Smiths I won't part with-59/model 41/revolvers galore. Two Berettas--one great, one a problem child. Several Springfields, Glocks, Colts, etc. But my point is this...workmanship and quality parts make quality, dependable products. I don't really think high round breakin periods should be necessary; but it seems to be a give these days with the majority of autoloaders. Just one of the things we have to put up with. JMO Thanks for reading the old fart's ramblings.
