Anyone have any experience with the Jericho 941? It looks like it's built like a friggin' tank. Does it shoot okay? Any issues? Reviews seem mixed, another love it or hate it deal. Might be cool to own an Israeli gun. TIA K

Very nice. Looks like they're nicely crafted and finished. Are they very smooth? Any issues when your hands sweat?

I haven't done family day there, but I think only people who've pre-registered can attend, and I'm pretty sure someone told me they were all filled up for this one. The weather is supposed to be iffy, so some people may not show, but I don't know if they'll accommodate walk-ins. Can't hurt to give them a call and ask. You never know.

Done. Thanks for the workaround.

Lynn wants to get out to the range this weekend. Saturday is Family Day, and they're booked solid, so I think Sunday is the better choice. We may be gun shopping on Saturday, so there may be a new toy or two in the chest. We'll see how it goes.

I wouldn't be able to deal with the winters there. I've been to Kentucky and Tennessee and like them both, but I don't know many details about the relevant laws there. But, there's lots of equestrian activity, and I could probably earn a living on the horse show circuits there.

A couple come to mind: S&W 45xx series semis. I don't know if they're still in production, but I've seen them around. My neighbor is a CO, and the 9mm version is his duty weapon. Built like a rock, accurate, and has always gone bang with whatever was in it when I've shot with him. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=35414&langId=-1&isFirearm=Y Bersa Thunder pro .45. I've seen and fondled it's .40 cousin. Nice gun. http://www.bersafirearmsusa.com/detail_bersa45pro.php

I have a Limbsavers on both of my guns and they work really well for me. I don't even feel the hit shooting clays, and they're actually softer than the new semis I've tried with the recoil dampers in the stock. The guns are still a little snappy when I shoot slugs, but I don't do that very often. Usually just to be sociable when I'm on the rifle range with people. Although it worked out as an added advantage for me, the pads add about an inch to the overall length of the stock. That may be an issue for a youth stock that has to fit a small framed shooter. Also, they need to be checked periodically during shooting for any sideways slipping. Just give them an occasional push back onto the butt and all is well. ETA: Picked mine up at WalMart for about $20. I think they're branded in a Winchester package. Available in Sm, Med, and Lg sizes. The medium fits both the 500 and Godzilla just fine.

I use this rolling tool chest. About $20 at WalMart. Holds 4 guns (2 in pouches, 2 in their plastic cases) 2 sets of ears a handful of foam plugs 3 pairs of glasses cleaning kit bug spray gloves a spare cap some tools a couple of large towels pens and paper stapler and staples a ream size 8 1/2 x 11 box of printed targets with room to spare, and it's on wheels. Built pretty well, and it's on wheels.

I'm basically a non-participant in religion, but I think that taking a day to do not much else but reflect on my behavior and actions over the past year is probably a good thing. It keeps me from developing bad habits. For instance, I've been very harsh on Matt, and have taken advantage of the fact that insulting him is too easy, and is really picking only the low hanging fruit, so I'll probably let up a little. There are a couple of other minor issues that I resolved to change, but all in all, I'm not really that much of a sinner. Mostly social stuff... a little lie here, a little provocation there. Nothing to worry too much about as long as I don't let it get out of hand, and as long as the good outweighs the bad. I try to be pragmatic about such things. Always better to be a Mensch than a sonofabitch.

This one's been there for a while. He may be motivated to make a deal. http://www.newjerseyhunter.com/article65840.htm Just passing it on. I still don't understand why those guys don't post their F/S guns here. More eyes = more potential buyers.

I hope everyone made it through Atonement intact. K

Chad, Good to hear all is well. We were missing you. Ken

Welcome to the group. ETA: I'm a big fan of Dr. Brown's Cel-Ray. I grew up in Brooklyn and it was the only soda to have with a couple of wax paper hot dogs and a knish. I can't get it up here in the Northern Frontier. I haven't even seen it for a long time, and I hope they haven't discontinued it. Although it is an acquired taste. Ken

And may you all have an easy fast.

Welcome to the group, and thank you.

Greetings and welcome.

Put a clay thrower on the deck and do both.

Great, another one for the Second Sunday events. I don't know if you've been there before, but it's a really nice facility. Something for everybody. BTW, they love Barry there. Signup Sunday has been Standing Room Only every month since December, and they have over 5,000 registered members now (and only 30 or so showed up today for the working weekend).

I'm pretty sure I'm not hardcore enough for that group. No swords or battleaxes in my safe.

Dan, you can keep "forcing" me to shoot it all you want. I like it a lot, and will probably wind up with something similar eventually. Not a bullseye gun, but it's soft to shoot and gets back on target in a real hurry, and I'm sure it's easy to carry (when your travels take you to America). .380 is hard to find right now at WM. I keep trying to pick up a couple of boxes, and they never have any in stock. Yeah, it's not .22, and it's not .45, and no matter what, I wouldn't want to get slapped in the forehead by any of them.

Strangely enough, I'm not surprised to hear that. Some nice weapons collections there. Some scary people, but nice collections.

Welcome to our happy little band of misfits.

That's just sad. Not surprising, but sad nonetheless. No wonder we can't make any significant progress here.
