  1. It certainly seems sometimes that good customer service has gone the way of the dodo bird, and what passes for CS these days is anything but. I think it's still out there, you just have to look harder for it than in the past. I always try to acknowledge it when I find it.

  2. I had a Crown Vic before being Crown Vic was cool.

     

    '93 model, seafoam green. The 4.6L engine went out at 60K miles and I had to have it rebuilt. Finally got rid of it when the rear passenger side roof started leaking. Other than that, it was roomy and comfy, but I've never had a desire to own another.

     

    Anyways, isn't a Lincoln Towncar just a dressed up Crown Vic?

  3. I just went back and watched, Daryl followed Aaron out the passenger side.

     

    Regardless of which side, there were still too many of them to handle, especially when you consider that the one that Rick was fighting was apparently strong enough to almost get the best of him. I guess it's just one of the many inconsistencies that you find in television, though. Not gonna lose any sleep over it.

     

    I guess Deanna was having quite a moment there, realizing that had she let Rick kill Pete earlier, Reg would still be alive. I don't imagine she'll be second guessing him from now on. But what a thing to have to live with.

  4. And, really.... Daryl and Aaron getting out of the car that was totally surrounded by zeds and making it to safety without a single bite or scratch? I know Morgan came to the rescue, but he could only handle Aaron's side and Daryl had to fight his way out by himself. 

     

    I'm calling BS on that one.  :rofl:

  5. Daddo... While it is exactly what ya stated for most of us here; there was a time when the 380 wasn't exactly a pocket gun... As i remember, the great George Patton carried a Colt 1908 pocket hammerless in his coat pocket... A Colt hammerless is 7 inches long and weighs 24 ounces...

    Lots of european police forces used to use 380's as their duty pistol...   There are lots of folks who will tell ya that a 380 fired out of a long barreled semiauto is at least the equivilent of a 38 special fired out of a 2 inch snubbie...   Remember, longer barrels mean things with pistols...

    Yeah, I get the longer barrel thing, but if everything else is equal, .380 over .45? Really?

  6.  How much extra velocity do you think you would gain with a barrel that is 1/2 to 1 inch longer than existing 380s?

     

    I'm looking forward to the release of the new Browning 1911-380.   It has a 4 1/2 inch barrel which is longer than my Sig or Beretta.

    I thought the whole point of .380 was being able to pocket carry. If you're going to carry a full size handgun, why not just carry .45?

    Am I missing something?

  7. I keep an empty chamber mainly because I am still relatively new to firearms and despite practicing hard I can still find my figure on the trigger.  When I find it I stop and force myself to fix the issue but it takes time to train muscle memory like that.  I am getting better and am making mistakes less frequently but until my mistakes are pretty much zero I am not ready to carry one in the camber.

     

    Thanks

    Robert

     

    It's a process. You'll get there, just keep at it.

     

    First time I carried in the chamber, I was scared to death. I had to convince myself that it was perfectly safe by carrying around the house for a couple of days. Now I don't even think about it.

  8. Got this in the mail yesterday.... custom single blade trapper w/ATS-34 blade steel and stag scales. Made by Dirk Beaver @ Beaver Custom Blades in Blue Ridge, GA.

    Touched it up on my Ken Onion Work Sharp and am really amazed at how stupid sharp the ATS-34 gets!

  9. Sasha is going to have a hard time adapting, if she can. Maybe she will be asked to leave?

     

    Sasha went off on her own in a previous episode (while they were looking for Terminus), so I don't think she would have any problem doing it again. I don't think she'll wait to be excommunicated and will just leave on her own.
