My left hand feels lonely - I wanna be an action hero & shoot with both hands

Found this on fatwallet: http://www.jgsales.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=beretta+92f+4.9 "You can own nearly the same sidearm that the US Military uses for as low as $299.95! Through a special deal we have obtained a huge batch of original Beretta 92F and 92FS used pistols. The 92FS is a commercial version of the US sidearm designated the M9. It is a full size 9mm pistol, with a safety decocker, 15rd double column magazine, and matte black finish. Grip and sight style may vary slightly. Both F or FS models are available. Base condition is Good-to-Very Good, with hand select for Very Good (add $20.00), or Very Good Plus (add $40.00) available. There is also quantity pricing if you get 2 pistols, and even lower if you get 5 pistols, as low as $299.95! Deals like this do not come along every day, don't delay!" Not a bad deal - for about $400 you can get a "very good choice" shipped (not including FFL fee presumably).

Welcome from your neighbor in Pompton Lakes

Different story, but I'm guessing this guy held his gun like a rapper too: http://www.myfoxdc.com/dpps/news/dpgonc-NY-Killer-Tripped-Pants-Plunged-Death-fc-20091218_5152028

I love my 92 - the new rubbery grips make it even easier. Might have been Dan that said that the Beretta's easier to shoot than the polymer guns due to its weight taking some of the recoil. I found his .40 (XD?) to be a handful to shoot, personally. I think a lot of military types have either had 1911's or have heard people talking a lot of smack about the 9mm's in comparison to the 1911's. There seems to be contradicting experiments comparing the .45 and the 9mm. Lots say that the .45 have superior 'stopping power', whereas others show 9mm has more penetrating distance (box'o'truth). Not looking to start a .45 vs 9mm war here

Unless I'm thinking of another HR bill, my understanding was that the pro-gun side was going to use the 14th amendment to help get this bill passed. The 14th states that no state can abridge the 'privileges and immunities' given by the federal govt. Whether that flies or not it, of course, to be debated by much smarter people than me. Seems to me, though, that it's a good argument.

http://www.classicarms.us/ has a sale going on right now, $299 for a WASR-10: GREAT SEMI AUTO AK RIFLE FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT CAPACITY CRAZY, OR FOR THOSE PLACES WHERE OVER 10 ROUND MAGS ARE PROHIBITED. SAME WASR-10 ROMANIAN AK AS OUR OTHER RIFLES BUT THIS ONE HAS A NARROW MAGAZINE WELL THAT WILL ONLY ACCEPT 5 AND 10 ROUND MAGS. COMES COMPLETE WITH 5 - 10 ROUND MAGS, SLING, CLEANING KIT , MANUAL AND OILER. 7.62X39 CAL. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THESE ARE LEGAL EVERYWHERE EXCEPT CALIFORNIA. Is that a good deal?

Found this link this morning - first thing I thought of was the Opti-Grip from The Jerk: http://www.livescience.com/technology/091211-gun-device.html There's not enough to the story, in my opinion. Wish they had a link to a site or even a picture, but interesting nonetheless.

From http://www.njherald.com/story/news/13BEARREPORT-web: "During the campaign, Christie said he would favor a bear hunt if that is what sound wildlife management policy dictates." But who knows...

One correction: Formerly rapped...

No thicker. They seem to feel thinner, but I think that's just the rubber that gives that impression. (for me at least)

Specifically these: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemDeta ... u=GRIP-920 I didn't do a whole lot of research; I was buying stuff there and came across these and threw em in the cart. Glad I did, though, as they're way more comfortable than the stock.

I love my 92 - recently got hogue grips for it and they make a big difference (for me). Much more comfortable and feels more stable.

I still have the orig spring and it does that 15% cocking with a partial DA pull.

Get back at them by giving them EXACTLY what they ask for. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Since BBK posted a family guy video on another thread, I feel compelled to do the same... (you can skip to about 1:00 to get right to it)

Woot-off happening today - http://www.woot.com. Lots of crap so far though :|

It's a fail because some liberal said so :roll:

Flagstaff is like 6000 ft elevation, hence the cold winters & snow. Great observatory there, though (if you're into that kind of thing)

I just bought some from cheaperthandirt for $6.89/20 (http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/ItemDeta ... ?sku=74001). Haven't had a chance to shoot it as yet though

In reality, if you're not downloading large files or backing up your data to an internet-based backup facility, you won't likely notice the difference. Web browsing & email is what most people use the internet for (including shopping) and that uses very little bandwidth. Even gaming doesn't use all that much bandwidth, rather it's how low your latency is. Also, the more computers sharing your modem/router, the less potential bandwidth you have. Personally, I wouldn't spend the $.

I'd be interested in going to Hercules some time, not too far from me. Some questions: Can you shoot rifle there, or just handguns & shotguns? Hours of operations? (I understand it's less an official range and more of a 'place to shoot guns in the woods') Membership required?

This might belong in the joke thread, but... -Tiger hit a tree and a fire hydrant. He couldn't decide between an iron and a wood. -How many times did Tiger Woods wife bash him with a golf club? .... FORE! -It was the black guy in him that bought the Cadillac ... and the Asian guy in him that crashed it (if you're offended by that, take it up with Wanda Sykes)

We got Netflix for the DVD's, but the streaming is a nice bonus. The library for streaming is severely limited, though, as compared to the DVD's. There's a lot of 'fluff' to claim 10k titles, or whatever it is now. That said, there are some worthwhile things there. I'm using a Roku box (http://www.roku.com) to watch the streaming stuff on the HDTV, as I don't have a PS3 or a blue-ray.

I am right there with you PK - still trying to convince the wife & kid of that fact.

There's http://www.riverdalepistol.org/ but it's members-only and I'm not a member (yet). That's probably closest to Parsippany at the 287/23 junction. edit: oh and it's pistols and rifles that shoot pistol ammo only
