Sharpshooter

My loan should be approved by the end of the week... ^^^^ Yeah, I've bought into more than I expected once or twice too! Good on you 98!

Somebody told her that crossdressing was the way to do it. Not sure she got the message.

I also bought Midway because it was there. I'll watch it over the next little while. ^^^^ Which Midway? Is it the one with John Wayne and Kirk Douglas, or is it a newer one? Love the original.

Well, this could be fun! Can we watch?

True.

My dogs won't even eat that stuff. Brought home an impossible Whopper to see if they would eat it. Nope. ^^^^ That's animal abuse! 😂

Back in the day, I used to have backstop made up of old carpet cut in strips about 2" wide. They hung down from a rope or dowel like drapes, with the target in front of them. Used plastic bullets propelled by primers. At 7 yards, it was good practice especially if you were using a wheel gun. Autos shot okay, just had to rack the slide after each shot. That kind of system would work fine in any room you had limited access to so you could be sure nobody would walk in into the line of fire. It's just plastic (or wax) but it would still put your eye out.

Rush or no rush, fast, slow, or anywhere in between, when Jack and I got together we always found something that just needed to be taught a lesson. Stupid telephone poles, they never learn.

You have too much faith in the idiots. They'll pay 2 or 3 times the going rate, then brag to their buds that "they got theirs" and everybody else is SOL. As my wife says, "some people have too much money."

Just wait it out. Most of us are old enough to have seen this shiit before ... it's all on a pendulum. The pendulum swings one way and everybody freaks out, you can't afford ammo (or find toilet paper), then a little while later the pendulum swings the other way and it's back to reasonably priced stuff again, and plenty of it. Stock up then.

Sorry, I'm too old. I want the loonie-tooney special. "Okay, you wascally wabbit, where's my wap dance?"

I dunno about the image posting issue, but I like the sign!

Nothing wrong with a good bar hopper. About 30 years ago, I knew a guy named Trona out in Northern California. He rode his Harley up to an abandoned house across the street from the bar, put the front tire up against the side of the house, then gave it hell in first gear. When the rear wheel had eaten itselft into the ground to the frame level, he shut it off, then walked to the bar. No need for a kickstand ... that scooter was held in place like it was in a vice.

Yum!

Loved me an '03 ever since marching around with one in boot camp.

I had one come down and scrape my hair (not my head!) when I was a teenager. No idea why, must have been too close to its nest. Scary fukking feeling!

Just thinking about it, but I'm sure willing to post what I can find out.

Yeah, the little bastard (XD-S) isn't interested in a casual relationship. One of those limp handshakes won't do it. Give that fukker an honest-to-god firm handshake and all the rest should work out. BTW, thinking about putting a threaded barrel (for a can?) on the 3.3" .45 XD-S. Any thoughts?

Welcome from Arkansas. Lots of good info here. Be sure to pick everyone's brain!

Welcome from Arkansas

That's sweet, but it looks like it's coming in on para-sails!

This reminds me of the story of the gal in Chicago who went up to the beat cop and asked if he had seen her old man. "No," he said. "Why are you looking for him?" "Because the SOB shot me," she said, pulling her blouse open at the top. There were 3 bullet holes in her chest, made by a .25 ACP. She died later, but you certainly couldn't call any of those rounds man (or woman) stoppers. From my own actual experience: I once shot a .25 ACP into a soup can (circa 1963). I was about 10 feet away, and I sent the can tumbling. I fetched the can and discovered all I'd done was dent it. Lesson? Don't use a .25 ACP on an enraged tin can ... it won't end up well for you!

Does that mean he/she goes out at 1100 fps? I'd almost pay to see that!

I don't know who's in charge of what, but I'm sure eager to see what Magwa produced. From what I've seen already, it ought to be fantastic!

Good info. Thanks for the heads-up.
