beretta 92FS
The 90-two (an awful name if I've ever heard one, and confusing to boot), is an upgraded 92fs/m9. It can hold 17 rounds as opposed to 15 (though that won't help you here), it has an accessory rail (like the m9a1), and the grip is somewhat narrower for those that find the 92 to be too large. Downside, in my opinion at least, is that it's a polymer frame; I prefer the steel and the 92 is only 1oz heavier. Oh, it also come in 9mm and .40s&w, whereas the 92fs is 9mm only.

Past 50 meters with AR-15. What scope/red dot.
I've got a 3-9x28mm scope on my AR15 and it's great at 50 yards (~45 meters). At 100 yards, though, the magnification isn't enough to be terribly accurate; I'm not planning on taking it to the 200 with that scope. I'm considering a 10-40x50mm scope, which should make a considerable difference.

Armalite would be a weird name for a dog, but i could see Beretta (course he'd have to have a parrot)

Five Muslim soldiers arrested over Fort Jackson poison probe
There was another article in the WSJ talking about new software to modify the pictures taken by the xray to make it display less detail of the human body, but maintain the detail on foreign objects (no pun intended). That won't change the mind of those that think it infringes on their religion, but it should strengthen the case against them.

I like how we still have to refer to Major Hasan as the 'alleged' perpetrator at Ft Hood. I get it, it's a legal thing, and he hasn't been convicted yet. It just seems silly.

Call Of Duty 2
I'm (still) waiting to buy it; you believe that? It was on sale around Christmas for $40 and I figured it'd be on sale again so I waited, and it hasn't been that low since, so I'm punishing myself and not buying it until it goes down in price. I'm sure it'll still be as good when I first play it, and I'm not an online player, so it's just single player mode for me

Anybody around this weekend? CR/Herc. on 2/20 and/or 2/21
Looks like I'm working, but that's from about 8am to noon-ish, so I can be there in the afternoon, maybe 1pm.

I can make it on Sat - I need to (finally) zero the scope on the AR for 50 & 100 yards.

Can't make it tonight - working @ 7pm (well, now). :doh:

Will Cherry ridge be open Sunday ???
Not yet; we're just renovating our kitchen & bath so I got the OK for the membership, but, alas, no more firearms just yet. In a couple months probably though.

Mark and a few of the others gave me the heads-up that it'd be crowded; apparently it always is. I think the cold probably scared a few away, but it seems the 2nd amendment is alive and well with, at least, the populace of NJ.

OK, I'm officially a member (w00t). In fact, I got the family membership so I can bring the wife/kid. Shot the AR today, but just a quick 20 rounds.

PMC 223 Ammo $6.49 Cabelas with $5 shipping
If you use the image link, just scroll down to the sale ammo and search for PMC - the bulk stuff is more expensive (per round) but you get a dry box. I opted for a few of the single (20 round) boxes.

Hehe, yeah I just placed an order & forgot the code (duh). The web live help fixed it though

I think I want a Desert Eagle...
Hehe, I can see you now, chasing your empties around the range. Guess it'd be hard to mistake a .50 for anything else huh?

Bi-Weekly meetup at Bullet Hole
There seems to be only one RO that says anything about that there at BH. Most are pretty mellow. Unless you're rapid firing, then they all yell, right Ray?

Bi-Weekly meetup at Bullet Hole
Wendy had a great time; she loved Ray's .45 and Chris's .22. The fact that she can shoot the 92FS, though, says a lot for her and her little hands (she's 18, but skinny), and she's not a half-bad shot. Took a shot of her with the camera phone:

Let me ask a dumb question: can you pay for your membership with a credit card or does it need to be check or cash? Anyone know? Site doesn't specify.

I should have been clearer - I'm going to sign up this Sunday; wondering if anyone else is planning to do the same.
