Just go down to Carney's Point. Apparently, that place is teaming with wild cats.

Bod Cat turn into Mountain Lions when they enter certain People property.

When I attended the Sig Armorer's class in NH my instructor was a long time Sig guy with a lot of experience who also did a lot of training. He brought the P220 SAO to my attention. That was his preference to shoot in matches rather than a 1911. It was just one man's opinion. I have one, and it's pretty damn good. As for me... 1911 or P220? Well, that's one reason why I have two hands.

oy vey. If Blodget is involved just ignore it.

I am a 1911 fan boy... but my HD pistol is still my P226 9mm elite stainless. Zero recoil, 15+1, and hasnt had a stoppage yet. P220 is also sweet, but for the same mag capacity id take my DW Vbob or TRP any day of the week.

For those better in the know... what's the difference between a Bob Cat and a Mountain Lion? And weren't there mountain lines in NJ that were blamed to be Bob Cats?

What happened to MIPA? Did he get sent to "banned camp" and I missed it. I figured he would have some pithy commentary about what is going on in the world, the PRNJ, etc. S.

Just read this.. I'm not market guru. Any one have some input? http://www.businessinsider.com/jim-rogers-worst-crash-lifetime-coming-2017-6 Heres the Transcript. Legendary investor Jim Rogers sat down with Business Insider CEO Henry Blodget on this week's episode of The Bottom Line. Rogers predicts a market crash in the next few years. One that he says will rival anything he has seen in his lifetime. Following is a transcript of the video. Blodget: One of the things I’ve always admired about you as an investor is that you don’t talk about what should be. You figure out what is going to be and then, you do that. So what is going to be with respect to the stock market? What’s going to happen? Rogers: I learned very early in my investing careers: I better not invest in what I want. I better invest in what’s happening in the world. Otherwise, I’ll be broke. Dead broke.Well, what’s going to happen is it’s going to continue. Some stocks in America are turning into a bubble. The bubble’s gonna come. Then it’s gonna collapse and you should be very worried. But Henry, this is good for you. Because someone has to report it. So you have job security. You’re a lucky soul. Blodget: Well, yeah, TV ratings do seem to go up during crashes but then they completely disappear when everyone is obliterated, so no one is hoping for that. So when is this going to happen? Rogers: Later this year or next. Blodget: Later this year or next? Rogers: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Write it down. Blodget: And what will trigger it? Rogers: Well, it’s interesting because these things always start where we’re not looking. In 2007, Iceland went broke. People said, ‘Iceland? Is that a country? They have a market?’ And then Ireland went broke. And then Bear Stearns went broke. And Lehman Brothers went broke. They spiral like that. Always happens where we’re not looking. I don’t know. It could be an American pension plan that goes broke and many of them are broke, as you know. It could be some country we’re not watching. It could be all sorts of things. It could be war. Unlikely to be war but it’s going to be something. When you’re watching Business Insider and you see, ‘That’s so interesting. I didn’t know that company could go broke.’ It goes broke. Send me an email and then I’ll start watching. Blodget: And how big a crash could we be looking at? Rogers: It’s going to be the worst in your lifetime. Blodget: I’ve had some pretty big ones in my lifetime. Rogers: It’s going to be the biggest in my lifetime and I’m older than you. No, it’s going to be serious stuff. We’ve had financial problems in America -- let’s use America -- every four to seven years, since the beginning of the republic. Well, it’s been over eight since the last one. This is the longest or second longest in recorded history, so it’s coming. And the next time it comes -- you know, in 2008, we had a problem because of debt. Henry, the debt now -- that debt is nothing compared to what’s happening now. In 2008, the Chinese had a lot of money saved for a rainy day. It started raining. They started spending the money. Now, even the Chinese have debt and the debt is much higher. The federal reserves, the central bank in America, the balance sheet is up over five times, since 2008. It’s going to be the worst in your lifetime, my lifetime too. Be worried. Blodget: I am worried. Rogers: Good. Good. Blodget: Can anybody rescue us? Rogers: They will try. What’s going to happen is they’re going to raise interest rates some more. Then when things start going really bad, people are going to call and say, ‘You must save me. It’s Western civilization. It’s going to collapse.’ And the Fed, who is made up of bureaucrats and politicians, will say, ‘Well, we better do something.’ And they’ll try but it won’t work. It’ll cause some rallies but it won’t work this time. Blodget: And we are in a situation where Western civilization already seems to be possibly collapsing, even with the market going up all the time. Often when you do have a financial calamity, you get huge turmoil in the political system. What happens politically if that happens? Rogers: Well, that’s why I moved to Asia. My children speak Mandarin because of what’s coming. You’re going to see governments fail. You’re going to see countries fail, this time around. Iceland failed last time. Other countries fail. You’re going to see more of that. You’re going to see parties disappear. You’re going to see institutions that hav e been around for a long time -- Lehman Brothers had been around over 150 years. Gone. Not even a memory for most people. You’re going to see a lot more of that next around, whether it’s museums or hospitals or universities or financial firms.

I saw him advertising personalized plates for businesses on FB today. Not sure how that works, but that's pretty cool. Good Luck GlennPewPew!

Nope..just when an opportunity presents itself. Now make sure you run and tell on me again.

Like it matters. Your balls are already kept in a jar

Yes they did. They bought the most in 2 years at $27.9B however their overall holdings are still less than the end of 2016 at $1.09T. Japan is holding steady at $1.13T. Data is current as of 3 weeks ago. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Oh cool! Someone 3D printed the "Save" icon!

Valken V12 is HPA - still needs an external gas tank. Metal AEG - just means metal body - which is kinda standard for higher end guns.

I'm rooting for us old bastards

This is funny...took me a minute to get it, but it is funny!

FTFY.

Been playing for 15+ years. The technology has advanced a lot since the old days. Some guns are pretty much spot on in terms of ergos/etc, but you're not going to get the full balance/feel exactly... The most realistic guns are going to be the gas blowback type - you get some recoil and more realistic capacity. You do also have to manipulate slides/bolts with them, compared to AEGs and cheaper guns.

"Well, that’s why I moved to Asia. My children speak Mandarin because of what’s coming." In my uneducated, uninformed opinion, that statement shows ignorance. Chinese are buying US properties, companies and assets like there is no tomorrow. And I bet some "expert" in China is saying, as we speak, "Thats why I am buying assets in US and sent my kids to Harvard". If anybody knew whats going to happen, Market will be flat like a dead guys heart beat. And it doesnt take a genius to say "Market will crash", when its going up and say "Market will grow", when shit hits the bottom. Trillion dollar question is, exactly WHEN.

Just a couple of thoughts. In all of recorded history there isn't a single instance of a fiat currency that didn't eventually fail. The U.S. dollar is fiat currency based on debt. Yes it will eventually fail. (Check with Venezuela.) In my amateur opinion there is no solid financial reason for the stock market to be this high. With interest rates at 0% it's the only place since 2008 where some money can 'make' more money. If you can and do sell at a price higher than you bought. So it's a financial game of musical chairs. Yes, it will eventually collapse like every other bubble in history. And our government cannot continue decade after decade to promise more than it can responsibly deliver and cop out paying with more and more public debt. (Not to mention the political ramifications.) Social Security is a simple money transfer machine, not an investment in someone's future. (Do you actually know where the Social Security Trust Fund is, and what it is?) And let's not forget Medicare and Medicaid. So yes, this will all collapse too. The question is when? And why? No one knows. So the music plays on. Care to grab a chair?

I have both firearms with well over 1k rounds through each. 1911 has a far better trigger, even the $4-500 guns you can shave off the pounds with just proper honing due to it's design. Easy to detail strip. P220 you are limited to what you can do with the trigger before you have light primer strikes or interfere with the fire control group or internal safeties. I got the stock trigger down to a 8# D/A and 4# S/A pull installing a 17# main spring (range only). There's a tutorial online how to polish the trigger group for smoother action and you can install a short reset trigger for quicker reset and a little better take up. I love both firearms but if I could only choose one it would be the 1911 for it's trigger/range, and the P220 for home defense. Both guns you can get 7,8 and 10 round mags, no capacity difference at all.

Carry... theyre pretty heavy.

No direct experience with the p220, but I do have a p226. I like SIG generally. They have a great, hearty, over-engineered German feel.

Easy one

"Special ", perhaps

What is crazy is that you can reverse that when it comes to the pump action side of 12 gauge scatter guns. The 870 Police Magnums and 590A1s are more expensive than the Benelli Super Nova. I have the 930HD, but I still want the Beretta 1301.

We are a unique bunch.

See...a lot of what you guys have said is why i prefer the P220. No need for custom this and that, hand fitted, tuned nonsense to have an extremely accurate reliable firearm. A bone stock sig will perform at the same level of any 1911 costing twice as much. And as Zeke said...decocker. I still love 1911's (for no rational reason), but the P220 is a superior firearm.

It must have reverse

Big difference between bobcats and mountain lions. Bobcats are 13-30 lbs up to around 21 inches high, have a short tail, and pointed ears. Can look like a very large house cat, including colorings. I have one in the neighborhood, been taking out all the woodchucks and rabbits. Will not touch the raccoon or skunks. Been chasing new born fawns as well.

UNLOAD AND SHOW CLEAR would have done nothing for this guy. We are shooting guns, follow the 4 simple rules that we all SHOULD know and that's it.

Percentage-wise, the best investment I've ever made was Ruger stock. Just wish I'd put a lot more into it in the first place.

What I like about unload and clear is that it's not about making the shooter safer it's about making everybody else feel safer at the range. as I'm getting older I'm more and more worried about OTHER people mistakes. I can't wait for WP range to open and members only floor.

Bump! I took a group of kids fishing today all 6 kids caught their first fish ever and they caught a ton more. The pond is on fire right now! We fished till we ran out of bait and then found some more. Fish were hitting on 1/2 night crawler on a #8 or #6 hook and live shiners on a #6 hook. The lighter the line the better. They caught a bunch of rainbow trout one of which was a 16" albino, some nice large mouth, a ton of bluegill and 1 huge black crappie.

That's not an Iris in the bond films. That's a first person view from a bullet in a chamber. The "iris" you are seeing is the rifling of the barrel i.e.: the lands and grooves.

A messy desk ?

Psychology You start with a cage containing four monkeys, and inside the cage you hang a banana on a string, and then you place a set of stairs under the banana. Before long a monkey will go to the stairs and climb toward the banana. You then spray ALL the monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt. As soon as he touches the stairs, you spray ALL the monkeys with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new monkey. The new monkey sees the banana and attempts to climb the stairs. To his shock, ALL of the other monkeys beat the crap out of him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original four monkeys, replacing it with a new monkey. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment - with enthusiasm - because he is now part of the "team." Then, replace a third original monkey with a new monkey, followed by the fourth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Now, the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs. Neither do they know why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. Having replaced all of the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys will have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, not one of the monkeys will try to climb the stairway for the Banana. Why, you ask? Because in their minds, that is the way it has always been! This is how today's House and Senate operates, and this Is why from time to time, ALL of the monkeys need to be REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME! DISCLAIMER: This is meant as no disrespect to monkeys.***
