  1. A quick shot to the head is too good for these pieces of crap.
  2. Hey, what you got against Bill Murray? Zombieland and Groundhog Day are on my DVD list for a desert island. Love the rest of the lists...wish I'd remembered Michael Vick.
  3. If jtmaze's wife is right, I might owe you some shotgun shells if I took that bet. More over, I must be too ugly to land a hot chick, because I've been pretty impressed with 'doin it' skills of every woman I've been lucky enough to sleep with. That, or ignorance is bliss.

    Glock Gen 4

    I only had a few months of trigger time on a Gen 3 before I traded it. It was enough time to REALLY appreciate the difference in that trigger and the Gen 4 trigger that I have now. The fact that the Gen 3 was a G34 and the Gen 4 is a G17 makes a slightly unfair comparison. However, the competition connector and all explain the light, smooth, crisp break that the G34 had, but not why the Gen4 feels all mushy. It's almost like something plastic is bending during take-up. Any idea why? I heard that Glock sent out a lot of replacement recoil springs due to issues, like you mentioned. At the GSSF match I worked last May, I asked the factory guy about that. He said the recoil spring issue was mostly on guns with lights attached. He said something about the lights preventing the frame from flexing properly during recoil, so they had to go with a heavier spring to compensate. That makes sense, but I don't believe that bit about the issue being mostly on guns with lights. Do you?
  5. If you could call dibs on being the one that gets to shoot any 3 celebrity zombies, who would they be? Here's mine: 1. Michael Moore 2. Rosie O'Donnell 3. Jon Stewart
  6. When the zombie apocalypse happens, I'm so hoping I'm the one that gets to shoot Johnny Depp. I call dibs on Michael Moore, too.
  7. As Jonnin said, consider your audience here. Regardless of what conclusions we draw from any evidence presented, I think most of us are going to go on asssuming that if it "can" happen, we have to take steps to prevent it from happpening to us. It's like saying "I hate you Bell Witch" however many times into a mirror on a full moon at midnight or whatever. Probably BS, but why go out of your way to tempt fate, LOL.
  8. Good question. With all the shootings reported, you'd think there'd be more instances if it was a serious concern. I obviously does happen, but not often enough compared to the over-penetration hype.
  9. I started feeling a little queezy when I thought about these 2 "together"...just gross and wrong. Speaking of Carol...another timeline anomaly...T-Dog's arm seems to have healed and Carl's up walking around after pretty serious surgery, but why hasn't her hair gotten any longer? Maybe the landscaping zombies that keep the grass trimmed in the neighborhoods do her hair too when we aren't looking.

    Glock Gen 4

    That's a very smart move on their part. Unless they share components that work better for on than the other, they seem to have found a way to have teir cake and eat it too.

    Glock Gen 4

    I'm starting to see a trend here. A lot of die hard Glock fans seem to dislike the Gen 4, but those who didn't like them previously seem to like the Gen 4. What a dilemma for Glock, huh? Much of their existing customer base doesn't like the changes that are bringing around a lot of new customers. Anyone know if they are making both models or has all production switched over to the Gen 4?
  12. Don't shoot your eye out, kid just kidding, couldn't resist, watched the movie last night

    Glock Gen 4

    I had a Gen 3 Glock 34 and never enjoyed shooting it. The Gen 4 Glock 17 that I have now is awesome. It actually feels more like holding a pistol than a 2X4. It functions flawlessly so far.
  14. I'm hoping nobody takes this idiot seriously. BUT ...if you're the type that goes to YouTube to get your concealed carry advice ...AND you're watching a video filmed in the living room of some guy's apartment ...AND the guy is bragging about how good his Uncle Mike's nylon holster is ...AND the guy chose to film his video wearing sandals, shorts, and a camouflage t-shirt ...AND you still trust the advice being offered you were destined to get into trouble on your own anyway...just saying.
  15. What's that she's in there, Capbyrd? Never mind...found her name, finally.
  16. The new/improved Andrea is definitely hotter with a gun in her hand. I was fairly impressed with the way they did the scene in the neighborhood where she was clearing what looked like a double-feed. That made her much more attractive. Maggie is as cute as a button too, though.
  17. Of your choices, I'd choose the Glock 19, because I prefer compact over subcompact. However, if the G19 the ideal size for you, I'd recommend adding a CZ P-01 or PCR to your list of choices.
  18. Not sure if you caught the bit were OS said his "taxable" income was around $10K, not his total income. On a different note, it sucks when anyone gets laid off from their job, but that's life. Afterall, is a corporation supposed to maximize shareholder returns or pay wages to workers it doesn't need? Depending on whether you are a shareholder or an employee, you might have a different opinion of what "fair" is. Laid off employees means times are leaner, gov't is squeezing more tightly, consumers are demanding you compete with Chinese prices, or any number of other things. Without splitting hairs here, CEOs are NOT the owners of a company. They are hired by the shareholders, who actually own the company. Their job is to increase the company's stock price, so the owners make as much money as possible. These owners are often willing to offer their CEOs insane amounts of money to get this done (including huge bonuses). That's their business, not our business, not the government's business, and certainly not the business of a bunch of whining protesters, who'll never be happy with anything. Sometimes the CEO has to lay off 1000 workers to make a company profitable. Sometimes he can't do business without every single person he has, so he has to negotiate lower prices for supplies, relocate to a place where it costs less to do business, or raise consumer prices. Regardless of which, he has a contract to fulfill and so does the company. Unless he did something illegal to make the stock prices go up, he earned his bonus. The bail-out money was a bad idea to begin with, but still, it's just another income stream to the company. It was a loan, not a gift. Loans are debt and debt gets leveraged to make a profit and paid back based on terms. If we don't like how the bail out LOANS were spent, blame the gov't, in fact...throw all the bums out. They shouldn't be loaning out our money any way! Let the businesses that can't succeed fold.
  19. I have an M&P 15-22 and love it. It seems like a good idea to me to buy the M&P 15, since it's essentially the same gun only heavier and more powerful. However, I've never owned a centerfire rifle that wasn't a deer rifle, so what do I know.
  20. I saw a TCP at a gun shop the other day for $259. Is that about right? Mine was a gift, so I wasn't privy to its cost.

    Finally got a CZ

    You should try the CZ P-01. It's about halfway between the size of a Glock 19 and a Glock 17. It's all metal and if you compare empty guns with no mag, the P-01 only weighs 2 oz more than the 17 (3 oz more than the 19). The factory rubber grips make up most of this difference, but they feel great in your hand.
  22. I bet you were very proud of her. Glad she did well and is interested. Who could ask for a better shooting partner than the person you're married to? Considering how well that gun is turning out for you, I may give it another try myself.
  23. I hope she did well in her HCP class. I assume she put quite a few rounds down range through or she wouldn't be taking it to the class. Is it safe to assume she's happy with it? Let us know how she did.
  24. I'd lose a lot of faith in my fellow man if I couldn't safely assume that we all agree that we should never lock anyone up unless we're pretty darn sure they're guilty. I give the crafters of our legal system the benefit of the doubt in that I assume they had good intentions. I'd like to think they weighed the consequences to society of making the burden of proof too strict and compared that to the injustice of locking up innocents. I do, however, wish I had a magical statistic machine that could spit out real numbers for anything I asked it. I'd love to know how many guilty actually go free for each rule of law that protects the innocent and how many innocent have been punished for each rule that allowed us to convict the guilty. I can't honestly say exactly what margin of error I'd be willing to accept, but it would be closer to my chances of getting struck by lightning than my chance of getting a cold.
