Armed Eye Doc

Maybe his profile picture should be his last post but change it to read "I Fuked Myself." That seems fitting and probably useful in the future.

That is a damn good price. I would like other things more than that or I would get some. I almost said I don't need that. But that would have been a silly statement.

I have still been praying for him and wondered the same thing.

And here is Rock River's reply that sounds almost exactly the same. RRA_Stmt217.pdf

Welcome from Texas. Hopefully, you stayed away from the recent storms.

One day a man decided to retire... He booked himself on a Caribbean cruise and proceeded to have the time of his life, that is, until the ship sank. He soon found himself on an island with no other people, no supplies, nothing, only bananas and coconuts. After about four months, he is lying on the beach one day when the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen rows up to the shore. In disbelief, he asks, "Where did you come from? How did you get here?" She replies, "I rowed over from the other side of the island where I landed when my cruise ship sank." "Amazing," he notes. "You were really lucky to have a row boat wash up with you." "Oh, this thing?" explains the woman. " I made the boat out of some raw material I found on the island. The oars were whittled from gum tree branches. I wove the bottom from palm tree branches, and the sides and stern came from an Eucalyptus tree." "But, where did you get the tools?" "Oh, that was no problem," replied the woman. " On the south side of the island, a very unusual stratum of alluvial rock is exposed. I found that if I fired it to a certain temperature in my kiln, it melted into ductile iron and I used that to make tools and used the tools to make the hardware." The guy is stunned. "Let's row over to my place," she says "and I'll give you a tour." So, after a short time of rowing, she soon docks the boat at a small wharf. As the man looks to shore, he nearly falls off the boat. Before him is a long stone walk leading to a cabin and tree house. While the woman ties up the rowboat with an expertly woven hemp rope, the man can only stare ahead, dumb struck. As they walk into the house, she says casually, "It's not much, but I call it home. Please sit down." "Would you like a drink?" "No! No thank you," the man blurts out, still dazed. "I can't take another drop of coconut juice." "Oh, it's not coconut juice," winks the woman. "I have a still. How would you like a Tropical Spritz?" Trying to hide his continued amazement, the man accepts, and they sit down on her couch to talk. After they exchange their individual survival stories, the woman announces," I'm going to slip into something more comfortable. Would you like to take a shower and shave? There's a razor in the bathroom cabinet upstairs." No longer questioning anything, the man goes upstairs into the bathroom. There, in the cabinet is a razor made from a piece of tortoise bone. Two shells honed to a hollow ground edge are fastened on to its end inside a swivel mechanism. "This woman is amazing," he muses. "What's next?" When he returns, she greets him wearing nothing but some small flowers on tiny vines, each strategically positioned, she smelled faintly of gardenias. She then beckons for him to sit down next to her. "Tell me," she begins suggestively, slithering closer to him, "We've both been out here for many months.You must have been lonely. When was the last time you played around? She stares into his eyes. He can't believe what he's hearing. "You mean..." he swallows excitedly as tears start to form in his eyes, "You've built a Golf Course?"

Here is RRA response. They basically put the blame on the trade organization. It looks very similar to Springfield's. RRA_Stmt17.pdfRRA_Stmt17.pdf

For those of us who got a 45 Shield recently, here is a reasonably priced 7 round mag, $22.99. https://www.themagshack.com/shop/smith-wesson-mp-shield-45-acp-7-round-magazine/

Whether it's true or not, I blame it on having to take too many damn notes in classes.

And what about RRA? Any back peddling there? Or are they sticking to their self-serving position on the bill? I will be forced to give up my dream of a RR 1911 whenever they start making them if they don't realize the error of their ways.

Glad you got it back. Too bad you couldn't use an atl on them the next night.

Nice!

I don't know the answer, but welcome to the forum.

It was NE of me. It was a nasty storm to be sure.

Just don't get caught in a crossfire from the neighbors. Happy hunting.

That is hilarious.

It's a definite upgrade to the upgraded shield.

Although, an upgraded shield is not much less than a Kimber. That is not a hard choice at all.

That's what my wife wanted for her birthday. It's definitely a better gun than the shield. I just can't afford 2 Kimbers in a year and be able to shoot them.

They make a version from S&W Performance Center with a lighter trigger (5.5# IIRC),a ported barrel and either Trijicon or fiber optic sights. It adds a couple hundred dollars to it though.

Thanks for posting that. Mine looks exactly like that and now I don't have to take more pictures. I carried it for a little bit yesterday to see how it felt. It was comfortable enough while sitting there, but it is vastly different than how I carry my FN45. It will take some getting used to and LOTS of practice before I am confident with it and want to depend on it. I haven't even shot it yet.

Damn Rene, hopefully it will just be a cyst and nothing more. Does your heel feel better with it gone?
