LOL. I still prefer the Top Gear shooting video. It does remind me of the episode of Top Shot where they were shooting out of a truck.

15" Troy Alpha Rail on a 16" Barrel?
Same here... I prefer the 13 over the longer 16. some folks do like the rail to stick out as far as possible... I prefer a little room.... particularly on a 14.5" barrel plus comp.

.500 S&W
I shot the 3" version of the 500? Great gun.... but you have to reload.... otherwise.... kiss you wrist and your wallet goodbye. I agree with Bob.... the .460 would be the better way to go.... BUT.... it's not the 500. lol. The Desert Eagle 50 is definitely more show.... but manageable. Both are absolutely blingy. Insert the must needed Gold Tigerstripe variant.

Daily humor thread
Here is one I stole from another site I visit. 50 Years of Math 1959 - 2009 (in the USA ) Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $ 2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters , but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried. Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950s: 1. Teaching Math In 1950s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ? 2. Teaching Math In 1960s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit? 3. Teaching Math In 1970s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80.. Did he make a profit? 4. Teaching Math In 1980s A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20. 5. Teaching Math In 1990s A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? ()There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it's ok.) 6. Teaching Math In 2009 Un hachero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho? 7. Year 2010: Who cares, just steal the lumber from your rich neighbor's Property, he won't have a gun to stop you, and the President says its OK anyway cuz its redistributing the wealth, forget about the math.

Two more years for 15 round mags...that done??
Finance? Easy.... Dallas, Minneapolis, Charlotte, and Florida are all fine places to grow in finance. Is it as much as NYC? No... but you have significantly less competition too. Again though, most folks will switch careers a number of times. The bigger picture stuff is... why place career over your own happiness? Why do the woulda, coulda, shoulda.... btw... great discussion. But plenty of folks in finance are also working remotely...

Just a quick other note, I see as per your profile you are in Mercer County.... moving to Bucks County at most adds 30 mins to your commute. As far as "solid careers".... it's a complete BS excuse honestly. most of those guys would dump the company the moment they get a pay raise... and the company would dump them the moment we have the next recession. You cannot use "solid career" as an excuse. Family... very understandable... and that is the only reason we are still in NJ.

With a family.... would absolutely use it as the last straw to move. Just look at the amount of people who have already left the state that are gun owners. Some single, but many with families, with jobs. For many, moving 20 mins North to upstate NY, 20 mins west to Pa, or 20 mins south to Delaware is a choice, where you can keep your job, just drive a tad more. NJ is already over taxed, cost of living is stupid expensive, and besides those who work in NYC, or PHL.... who actually likes going there just to hang out? Moving to PA is really not a huge deal.... or as big of a deal as people make out to be. The only group of people who is caught between a rock and a hard place are those working for the state or waiting for pensions. THAT is tough. For everyone else? eh. All of the people who over the last few years moved out to PA, FL, NC, SC, TX, AR, NH, VT.... none of them are dying to come back here.

I think that is the last straw for many people. So no... while I would not leave the state SOLELY because of the 15 round ban.... but it would be yet another reason to leave the state. Now, for the many members who have a lot of guns... this just may be a pretty big thing... after all, who wants to modify or get new mags for 20 or 30 guns? And who is going to pay for it?

School me on Pickup Trucks
Learning quite a bit from this. I love entertaining the idea of having a pickup truck... but I have absolute no clue if I would ever haul stuff. lol, and don't want to have family ask me to. Would not mind a large suv though... Crazy to think about a 50k or 60k pickup truck. wow. I have been in a Ridgeline once though... and that actually drove pretty nice and seems practical.

.45 ACP question
Softest shooting? In that case, lightly load reloads.... or heavy bullet, low powder. One of my favorite 45 type loads is 230 grain bullet in a 45 GAP for the Springfield XD subcompact.... gentle giant. In 45 ACP, 230 grain in HK 45 is quite manageable, as well as pretty much any 1911. Smith Wesson m&p 45 was pretty nice, a little snappy. FNX 45 as well. So short note... if you can reload...ammo makes the most difference, then the type of gun.
