Well I will definitely decide on my own what feels right but they should be able to help me get close.

That looks like it will be pretty good. IF the CGI isn't too over the top on the Zombies.

I freakin' LOVE puppy pictures! I have videos of our two little Dachshunds when they were puppies playing and it is a guaranteed smile every time I watch them.

I would just rather be able to carry my gun everywhere CC or OC. If a local business can post to not allow weapons/guns then I would think they could include batons, brass knuckles, etc. in that. Just my opinion but I would rather have less laws than more.

The main thing I want is to be able to go in the store and have a pair fitted to my foot exactly. My feet are really bad. I tried the Doctor Scholl's machine at walmart and it laughed at me(not really). The most important thing to me is not necessarily how long they last but how well they support my foot when wearing them every day. I am more inclined to spend the little bit extra this go round on Redwing's just to be sure.

All great testimonials guys! Thanks for the info. Looks like ill be getting red wings.

Well as long as they have good soles and support I can get used to the weight. I had to wear steel toes for a while at one job so I got used to it.

Wow that pretty good! Any info on what it costs to resole them?

Good questions. I hardly ever wear out the Uppers or outside of the boot. The Georgia boots I buy are worn everyday and usually last me a year maybe two until the sole wears out (Just guessing, I can't remember when these were bought). I have flat feet so comfort and support are very important. I'm not too rough on them other than dirt and mud.

My wife wants to get me a nice pair of lace up work boots for Christmas but obviously needs me to pick them out. I have never owned anything but Georgia Boot slip ons so I am hoping to get some advice on what to look at/for. The Redwing's have the reputation but also the high price. I would be looking for an 8" boot.

[url="http://simunition.com/en/products/conversion_kits"]http://simunition.co...conversion_kits[/url] [/quote] Yeah I was just meaning some wacko sneaking another pocket gun in or something. Based on what was advertised though they do a pretty thorough check to make sure this doesn't happen. I seriously doubt that would ever happen though. I guess it's more risky going to the range where the real ammo is already there. I'm with JAB though. I don't wanna get hurt unless I have to haha.

Looks out of place on that stock IMO. My gun OCD would HAVE to put it back the way it's supposed to be or sell it haha.

[quote name='CCI' timestamp='1352921504' post='845621'] It's not just one individual! It's 170,000 men who are banned for life, from possession, and ownership of any fire arm! Many states have laws that impose a mandatory 10 year ban! Lautenberg is for life, due to a misdemeanor conviction! [/quote] Thanks CCI for clearing that up. I just browsed the site and didn't really see anything wrong about it. I still stand by my statement regard those who pleaded guilty but I realize that some people are wrongfully convicted of domestic violence and other crimes. It didn't bother me that it was removed though so I don't guess I have a dog in this fight.

I didn't get a chance to check out the link before it was removed but I can't imagine anyone wanting to support this guy if he in fact plead guilty to DV. I support the decision by Dolomite on this one. It does say in the code of conduct that the staff has the final say so...... Not saying I agree with the views on the rights being stripped but I would not support anyone who plead guilty having their rights restored. Pleading innocent and being convicted is another story and I really don't know what I think about that scenario.

Yeah I don't know that I would participate in a "free for all" against any Joe off the street but that may not be what this is. The class I am speaking of is basically between the student and instructor. If you make the wrong move you get shot, by the instructor. My opinion is that you shouldn't need to shoot someone with this stuff to know if you could actually shoot someone. I made that decision the day I got my HCP.

Well this is not that out of the ordinary. The local range here in Memphis uses Simunition (spelling?) to teach some force on force classes. To my knowledge it is perfectly safe and as long as they are doing the checks they say then I don't see the problem. You do run the risk of some wacko sneaking live ammo in there but hey crazy folks are everywhere.

I second that. Thanks for keeping this going!

Well I tried my hand at stippling! [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/14/2enu3edy.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/11/14/u8yhe7yb.jpg[/IMG] I also did the back strap and sanded it down with some medium sand paper. Feels real nice.

Well I soaked it in Rem Oil this morning about 5 oclock and at 6 oclock it was pretty well soaking it all up. Needless to say I was amazed. I didn't have near enough oil on it to begin with. On a different note I am thinking about polishing the barrell. I polished the feed ramp with some Mother's Mag Polish but I think I might like the look of a polished barrell. Does anyone know if the barrell is actually parkerized as well or just coated with something? It doesn't seem to have the same texture as the slide. If I proceed I am guessing the best way to do this without a dremel is just fine grit sandpaper and finish with the mag polish?

Thanks for the info. I plan on polishing the feed ramp but I wanted to see how it did the initial 200-300 rounds without any mods. So far so good.

Not working for me. You will probably have to use photobucket. I know it worked for me.

[quote name='broox' timestamp='1352753892' post='844421'] Yeah, everybody be careful! If you want me to send you a list of other scams, just e-mail me your name, social security number, birthdate and first pets name. Thanks [/quote] I see what you did there.....

Well I got the gun in and shot 50 rounds through it with no problems. It was bone dry when i got it but looked like it did have some type of cosmoline or rust preventative on it at some time. There were small spots of surface rust on the inside of the slide but was easily removed. The problem (if I can even call it that) is that there is a small spot on the exterior of the slide where the finish has "soaked up" some of the packaging oil/cosmoline. I have thoroughly cleaned the gun before firing and sprayed oil all over the slide. I took a wire brush to the outside of it lightly but stopped for fear of removing the finish. The spot is hardly noticeable but it is just on my nerves since I don't really know what it is and if it's bad. Any tips for removing this?

50 flawless rounds through mine today after a good cleaning. It was bone dry when I got it.
