It seems that I have been buying revolvers at a prodigious rate. At this point I won,t be able to pick-up my latest acquisition until the first week in July. Even though it's not in hand yet, I thought I'd share it with you... It is a full custom S&W 65-5 with a 3" barrel. It was done by Mike LaRocca of LGW (LaRocca Gun Works) out of Worcester, MA. Mike was Frank Pachmayr's lead gunsmith for years and, literally, wrote the book on building Combat .45's. He went out on his own in the mid-80's and this is an example of his work. It includes a complete refinish with certain parts accented in high polish; A bobbed hammer; A radiused and smoothed trigger; A recontour of the front sight and an anti-glare treatment on the barrel rib; A full action job; A "melted" cylinder release and other enhancements. Even the base gun is a rather unique piece. I believe that this started life as a Lady Smith, because they were the only fixed sight, K-frame .357 Mag with a 3" barrel and an ejector rod housing. The "Lady Smith" moniker was polished off during the refinish. Three inch K-frames are among the most desirable carry revolvers extant, because the slightly longer barrel allows for a full-length ejector rod to fully extract the long .357 cases and the K-frame gives you 6-shot capability. Watch for my post in this section during the first week of June. I'll be featuring some rather unique S&W revolvers. Adios, Pizza Bob

Just look for the guy squatting in the corner wearing a track suit.

The thing is, I work in the field of strength & conditioning, and I've only done what I perceive to be essentially what everyone else does. That's why I'm seeing the geneticist to see if I have an underlying issue. Barring that I don't, then that means: 1. I really have been doing too much in the first place. 2. Or, I've had poor luck. Either way ... I know I need to change something if I ever get back into strength training. Thank you for the concern.

In addition to looking for treatment, you may want to consider making some lifestyle changes. That's a lot of damage for someone so young. Maybe dial back the strength training.

Who said it was a Military display? Based on the Theme being NH based, given the tag, I think your making assumptions....again. Your assertion on more reliable is based on what? A test Larry Vickers did had the Custom 1911 and an HK USP as exceedingly reliable compared to other pistols. How many rounds have you put through high end 1911's? Your Dicky comment about rich guys holds no water with me. Its pure bullshit. Ill take 1 NH over a drawer full of Glocks, Sigs, Beretta's etc etc. And thats the choice I made even back in the days of $11 an hour. If I could only afford a Glock, so be it but I certainly could appreciate a fine 1911 and wouldn't comfort myself with some imagined shortcoming for those that can afford better. In the words of Rob Dyrdek "Do more work son".

Stop shooting cannons and you'll be healed! Lol.

Dr. Silberman's practice seems to be similar to Dr. Sokalsky's. Silberman is a sports medicine doc who treats a lot of people looking for options outside of surgery. I've never seen him before so I can't report anything. Anywho, I had a plicating capsulorrhaphy procedure last year to stabilize my left shoulder, and my ortho recommended me to get the same thing plus a labral repair on my right shoulder. Given the number of other issues I have, plus the cost of surgery + PT + time away from work, prolo/PRP/stem cell might make sense, especially since everything can be treated simultaneously. Anyway, I'll gladly update y'all on my situation too, if that is the route I go.

4 year was specific for prolonging TKA. It doesn't surprise me that it could be only 2 years for arthritis in the body part your wife needed it in. Different procedures will have different success rates and different outcomes. Who told me? I wrote the faux Cochrane resulting in major hospital networks changing their protocol to reduce bleed events and hospital stays in TKA and THA. That's done with access to thousands of patient data, not just anecdotal evidence. So I know because ive seen the data, though keep in mind nothing is ever 100%. in every strong dataset, there are always people on the short side. Think those that survive an accident because they DID NOT wear their seatbelt and would've died if they wore one. That doesn't mean we start recommending no seat belts.

I do not know Dr Silberman, but This is the practice name for docs that are solely in this field- prolotherapy, Dr Sokalsy is "alternative to surgery" practice (former Rothman Doc) his accent is on Sports medicine but he is a prolotherapy doctor as well.

Or if you have no woodworking ability, are too busy or are just lazy, there's always this option. https://store.njconceal.co/home-decor/hide-away-mirrors

Hey guys, I'm a younger (mid-20's) guy with tons of chronic joint issues. After a streak of "little tweaks" from strength training over the years, my body is pretty banged up. I've had prolotherapy done on my wrists when I was younger due to laxity in the joints, and it actually helped and my wrists have been pain free for the past 8 years. I'm currently going to see a geneticist to ensure I don't have any genetic issues (i.e., Ehlers-Danlos). Barring I don't have any genetic issues ... from there, I'll be seeing Dr. Marc Silberman in Stirling, NJ. He does prolotherapy, PRP, and stem cell. Currently, I'm dealing with: Right shoulder laxity + torn labrum Possible torn lateral meniscus in the left knee Possible labrum tear in the right hip Lower back and upper back pain

I'm not sure why this thread has gone off the rails, (who am I kidding, yes I do), but understand something. The 92, M9, choose what you call it, was not the guy in the fields choice. I was an inspector of the gun armory at an Army base. I was there when they changed from 1911s to 92s.... I use to inspect it twice a year. It was always loaded with M16s and what, you say? 1911s.... Then, time for an inspection. I walked in with the Sgt and low and behold, I cringed. "What happened to all my beloved 1911s"? His head went down in disgust. That was the year they switched to 92s.... Needless to say, the Sgt and everyone at that base was pist. They wanted the 1911s back and hated the 92s. While the 92 is a fine weapon, they still wanted their 45s... So as Shane said, 1911s are still viable and loved by many in the field. LE too, there are depts around the country who still love them. My boy is not fond of 92s either. He qualifies with a Sig P226 in the Marines and he insists he carries that... Different strokes for different folks? Geezus...

Insurance companies don't want to spend the money, and somehow they ended up in the driver's seat for how medicine is performed in this country... ...but the procedure is 'Experimental' because the FDA hasn't approved it. Approved/not approved isn't a decision the insurance companies can make.

Of course! This is supposed to be fun! This new Ruger oozes fun!

Having PRP and Stem cell performed on my right hip starting next week. Supposed to get a hip replacement, after consulting with a hip preservation specialist at H.S.S and a sports med dr at Penn, decided this makes more sense at my age. They are confident that I'll have vast improvement in cartilage repair and pain management. PRP first then stem cell from cord/placenta stem cells we banked with both kids. Sounds a hell of a lot better than hip replacement and limited activity protocol. If anyone wants a recommendation in NYC or Philly area, let me know.

If it hasn't happened now.......

A coherent thought, someday you will have one....

remember that the book for this season isn't written so characters like Tyrion and Varys especially aren't as witty with their dialogue. Seasons 1-6 Tyrion's dialogue was directly from the books. It's more plot driven than character development since the show runners are trying to finish off the show. Also...

You missed it. Sort of. It was in Ep 2. Basically the NK wanted to destroy all humanity and Bran has access to all of history. Destroy history and man is just animals. Or something. I didn’t say it was well explained.

M9 over NH, yer funny!

I believe the app you are looking for is Grinder, or Grindr, or whatever it is.

And that is why i haven't one, single, solitary device of that nature in my house, and I really don't need one. I presently don't have Wifi in the house, either. All my devices are wired with wired switches and routers. I won't completely keep Wifi off the table if there's something I really need it for but, for now, all I need to do, I can do wired.

I want sweeping legislation to be passed for all politicians. All are mandated to take a class on the Constitution for starts. All have term limits and a cap on the money that they can make while in office and for the following 10 years once they are out of office. And., if they break their required oaths, they are subject to a felony charge. I am sure I can come up with more, but these will do for a start. Oh, and all of them need to take a course in economics, and specifically in capitalism. And, lastly, they all have to house undocumented workers and repeat offenders at their residence for at least part of each week. Oh, and while they are in office they are not allowed to own any firearms and must sell or store them at a shooting range.

I found @Zeke from COPS I knew Zeke reminded me of someone. I swear it's him. @Mrs.Zeke
