I have the Burris Fastfire 3 on my Beretta 92. Love it! A bit to get used to looking for the dot, but it has helped my shooting alot. I shoot at least once a week and have had the same battery in it for 2 1/2 years now. If I was gonna do it again I'd look at something with it built in as the FF does sit a bit high on the slide. You have to get an adapter plate for what ever hand gun you want to put it on. Just a note...On my 92 the plate inserts in the dove tail where the rear sight was. You can use it like that but I opted to have the slide drilled and tapped so the plate can't move.

My buddy and I went over the trap and noticed that the top latch that captures the rod to keep the trap door locked down is only held down by gravity. On its side it can float up allowing the locking rod to (possibly) to come free. So I see that flipping the trap could be the cause. I wonder why Havaheart doesn't address that. Or at least warn you.

Good idea. I'm just gonna give him a stern warning.

So I have a raccoon that set up house keeping under my garage. I set up a brand new Havaheart trap lastnite. Tested its lock and trip a few times to make sure it was working. The sucker somehow got out of it!. Flipped it on its side and left it. He was apparently in there a while so I know the gate was locked down. Trap doesn't look bent up or anything. My main question is, now that he was trapped once, is it any use to set the trap again? He apparently knows how to get out of it now.

Due to the popularity of the "Survivor" shows, Texas is planning to do one entitled: "Survivor - Texas-Style!" The lucky contestants will all start in Dallas, drive to Waco, Austin, San Antonio, then over to Houston and down to Brownsville. They will then proceed up to Del Rio, El Paso, Odessa, Midland, Lubbock, and Amarillo. From there they will go on to Abilene and Fort Worth, and finally , back to Dallas. Each contestant will be driving a pink Prius with 15 bumper stickers which will read: 1. "I'm A Democrat" 2. "Amnesty For Illegals" 3. "I Love RAP" 4. "Boycott Beef" 5 "I Voted For Obama" 6. "George Strait Sucks" 7. "Elect Hillary In 2020" 8. "Vote Eric Holder Texas Governor" 9. "Rosie O'Donnell Is A great role model" 10. "I Love Obama Care and Chuck Schumer" 11. "Kaepernick Is My Hero" 12. "I Side With Jane Fonda" 13. "It's all Bush's Fault” 14. "Islam Is A Peace-Loving Religion" - and the last sticker is; 15. "I'm Here To Confiscate Your Guns" The first contestant to make it back to Dallas alive wins.

I use to load my mags before heading to the range.... before all this crap started. Now I wait till I get there. I have a Lulu so I can load a mag in about 10-15 seconds. 20 if I have fumble fingers that day. I figure more to loose then gain. Just to prove a point.

CCI Blazer. Stuff is clean and cheap. Under $180 a case almost everywhere.

Congrats on the 92! Great choice. Now get the the .22 conversion kit. Now you have 2 hand guns. (kinda) Cheaper to shoot and easy to learn on. Next, start getting your son interested. 12 is a great age to start him if the schools haven't brain washed him yet. Anything you can do together and spend time doing is a plus. Your wife can't complain about that. After all, you're doing it for your son.

This new click bait news feed that has 1 or two lines, then a picture and NEXT. Another line or two.NEXT. That can go on for pages. I typically just cancel the page even though it was something I might have wanted to read about.

Looks like the mags are joined together as one. I would think then it can only shoot 5 rnds for each barrel. Kinda takes all the fun outta it.

You didn't say how fast you need it. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/jesse-james-black-label-45-acp-hollow-point-230-grain-20-rounds?a=2165969

I'll just leave this here. A Matter of Perspective A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?” She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.” Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.” The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, “That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!” The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the conservative side of the fence.”

I disagree. For what ever reason I can't use iron sights. Just can't seem to focus. ADD maybe. But I added a laser to my 1911 and it helped my shooting buy at least 50% as I can look strictly at the target. I have a red dot on my Beretta 92 which I kinda like better. But I'm just a hole puncher with a pistol. Home defense is my 12ga. The other thing I like about a laser is if you're a bad guy with bad intentions and there's a red dot on your chest, you're pretty sure that's where you're gonna start leaking if the guy pointing it sends lead your way. Good time to change your mind about what you were gonna do.

Not disappointed at all. What someone sees someone use at the range should stay at the range.
