The blame is on the event coordinators for choosing the site of the stupid pageant. I guess they thought they were being "progressive" by choosing this place.

  No different IMO than when I see a somebody drop $1300 on an ACOG for their $800 AR to punch paper on the weekends.

If the price were right, I'd buy one just to lug my crap to/from the rifle range. Beats the monstrosity I built:

I liked the show pretty good too. Looking forward to seeing how things play out.       One of favorite things about Comcast's DVR is that it remembers my series recordings from one season to another. Fairly smart of them to think of that.

I once hit a 18"X12" steel silhouette target from 100 yds at a handgun class with my CZ P-01 shooting WWB ammo. We gradually stepping back 20 yds at a time until we got to 100. A miss put you in the losers' circle. On day one I was out of the mix after the 60 yd shot. Only 1 student made it TO 100, but missed. On day 2, I made it to100 yds too, but we both missed. He hit on his next shot, but I needed 2 more shots to hit it. I still don't think my 3rd shot was luck. On a side note, which is a more fair comparison: on day one I was whining b/c the instructor made me shoot DA, since I brought a SA/DA gun. At the end of the drill the instructor asked for my gun and proceeded to put his very first shot on target from 100 yds with my gun, which he'd never fired. I was floored and do NOT believe that was luck either.

Yeah, I figured guns would catch up to demand faster than ammo. Still nice to see.

If you believe the mainstream media and C.A.I.R., I'd scream vulgar anti-Muslim epitaphs and demand the terrorist be removed from the ceremony...b/c that's what all white male Christians would do, right?

sure does! I'd like to meet his parents, so I could tell them what a fine young man they've raised. Clearly the village and the school system failed to brainwash this one.

I thought shooting out the tires of the getaway car only worked with Hollywood guns. Luckily they didn't have that kind of gun, b/c we all know that Hollywood bullets would have made the car flip end over end with a 1/2 twist and explode, injuring God only knows how many people. I hope they lose their HCP, at the least...freakin' mall cop wannabe guntards.

About the most impressive shot I've ever seen. My first instinct was...fluke. Then I thought, you can't really say it's a fluke, he did exactly what he was trying to do. Repeatable?

If OWB Kydex is what you prefer, you can't go wrong with Safariland or BladeTech.

I don't blame you, I'd stick with Ruger too. I know I'm foolish over my MKII with the bull barrel.

It's them more than their music. My wife just LOVES them. I refer to them as the retarded Beatles.

read any of the comments? best one... "150th headshot - jungle cammo unlocked"

Any song by The Monkees. I even got the heebee jeebees just typing their name.

I can't believe nobody has expressed any sympathy for the poor victim in this story. Let me be the first to wish him a speedy recovery of his stolen Kimber.

You'd think with rampant stories on the news about rapes, abductions, and killings that girls would be especially careful. I know first hand that they are not, however. My 16 yr old believes I'm a paranoid idiot just for wanting the front door to stay locked all the time. I guess bad things only happen to OTHER people.

  I'm changing my argument to "eww, that's just gross"

I've only shot one person's handloads besides my own. A friend was working up a powder puff .38 spl load for his GP100. We had talked about his recipe, so I know he was at half or less than than the max. Plus, a Ruger GP100 would not likely blow up in my hand even if double charged a case. I have let others shoot my 9mm handloads, though. I know that's taboo too, but I also know how careful I am when reloading.

  I don't see how any mistranslation can explain away Matthew 5:28. I listed it first, because if lustful thoughts are a sin, it stands to reason that other sinful thoughts are as well. As far as that being hard to live up to, I can't disagree with you there. I can only say that I'm less likely to do wrong, if I recognize I'm heading there...kind of like an ounce of prevention, ya know? I won't touch these last 2 words or this can go on forever. I'll just say I respect you for putting up a good fight to passionately defend your stance. It shows you aren't a blind follower, you thought out your position. I'd much rather walk away agreeing to disagree than to walk away thinking I've been arguing with a fencepost.

There are sins of the heart and sins of the flesh. Your defense of unconsumated homosexuality relies on the premise that only sins of the flesh are sins. Sins of the heart are what I always understood to be impure thoughts. The Bible definitely warns against them as being sins as well... Matthew 5:28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander. These are what defile a person. 1 Corinthians 6:10 Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 John 2:16-17 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

I just meant that typically, a .45 is heavier than a 9mm. Since Springfield intended to release the 9mm first, I see that the 9mm barrel would have to be much thicker to use the same slide and frame.

I tried to blow up the pic to see detail. Best I can tell, I see no boning marks. Yet that's impressive detail.   Are you using a vacuum press?

Careful Romad7, that's how it starts...long trips. Then you start listening while you commute, run errands, and mow the yard. Soon, you've got earphones in your ears every chance you get.

I was making a Crossbreed-style holster for a co-worker's 9mm Shield a while back. It gave me a good opportunity to compare them side-by-side. I like the Shield's grip better, but I liked EVERYTHING else about the XD-s better.   Ironic how the XD-s 9 is heavier than the XD-s 45. At 23 oz, the XD-s 9 is heavier than a Glock 17...that's freakin' weird.
