My wife and daighter love the KoP mall. It's not too bad and has a lot of eye candy, so I don't mind either

Be sure to Thank Obama Is that the plan B. I was checking it out. How do you like it so far?

Drugs will never be legal here. Pot isn't that bad of a drug but have you ever known a pot head that functions better high than not? The next step is to something else.

It has a lot to do with things. I have personally seen pot heads turn to other drugs. They eventually fell from grace to end up junkies and are now dead. People who use illegal drugs, know they are illegal. If you do not have the common sense to stay away from the drugs, your judgement is screwed. Therefore, why should the public trust you. It also doesn't matter when your doing the drugs, if your doing the drugs on your time, it's just as bad as doing drugs any time of the day. I agree with drug testing.

Huh?

My wife and I are the same way. We kinda make it more about hanging with each other and the family. I got a couple of gift cards from the inlaws. I'm happy to just relax with the family and spend time.

Clays would be a 26-28" barrel. On my wifes 20ga, she uses a 26" and on my 12ga, I have a 28". My SA uses a 28" also.

When it comes to pumps, 5-600 get's you a damn fine gun. I would stay away from the cheap under/ over or side by sides because they are okay but cheap. For the $$ listed, you could get a remmy 870 or a mossberg and trick it out. I have both pumps and SA. My pump is set up to be able to shoot clays (and I have), HD and I just got a slug barrel for hunting. It's the all around. Recently, I bought a SA and got a nice gun for clays. Start off cheap and slow, even if you should decide to go SA later, you will likely keep the pump for HD.

welcome to the forum.

Congrats Troy.

Merry christmas everybody.

smart idea though. I woulda probably forgot about it. lol

Very nice and glad your happy with the gun.

Huge honor for him and for you. Congrats on being a proud father. I would be bragging also.

The stainless slides are made in NH. That is not so much of a big deal as the amount of people that have complained about abnormal frame wear. Never saw that as much with frame made in germany. Like I said, this is just my personal preference. I have a gun with a NH frame and is holding up well. I do however, make sure my rails are always lubed.

Thanks for the heads up. That is the only place really that gives the gssf discount and if the new location does the same, that is better for me. It's 10 miles closer and 10 minutes less to get there.

did you fit it yourself or go to a smith for it?

228's are not that hard to find, getting a good one is. You don't want a 228 that has to be refinished. I found my W. German locally and it was never fired. I paid slightly more than market but was able to see it, look the gun over and tear it down. Every sig guy needs a w. german sig I will say in the last day or two, I did consider selling it but I go back and fourth. If I shoot it, I won't wanna sell it. lol. I also am considering selling my p226 elite because I prefer the p228/229 series guns. My hesitation is that selling a gun that is good, has no frame wear issues and then wanting one back. Then I am stuck buying used cause all the new guns are made in NH and I prefer German frames. Call me a snob but it's my preference I am cleaning guns anyway, and decided to check. The p226 feels slightly slimmer but I don't think I notice it too much. Again, when shooting, I am thinking more of front sight, target and bang.

While I agree that I am not a fan of the checkmate mags at all, I must say that the one mag that I have used for the range has functioned flawlessly. I prefer the blued or anti snag mags. Mags drop fast when the mag release is hit. The parkerized finish ones not so fast.

I watched a video on 1911's and it didn't look hard at all to swap out. I think Bob's comment should be researched. A call to SA may help out and maybe you can get the part from them to guarentee it'll work.

PK90 sells the g17 mags pinned to 15 rounders.

There is a guy that was at last years shoot at Ft Dix that had this done. I forget his name, but he is from the forum and lives in MD now. I personally think to each his/her own. You can easily buy a glock frame for $225 and have this mod done if you chose to. At that point, your not distroying the original frame with the gun. I Would I do this? Hell no. I like the g17 and use it for steel and the glock matches. I keep the g19 for HD. The reasoning was easy because I wanted to make the trigger smoother on teh 17 and not jerk around with something I would use for HD. In the end, Glocks are not expensive guns and can easily be replaced if you screwed it up.

I'm not sure I agree that it's a more balanced gun. It depends what caliber your shooting imo. While I prefer the p229/228 series guns, it's just my preference and not because of the balancing. The most balanced guns I think sig has produced is the p228 and the p225. They are very balanced. If I were to pick up a 229 after shooting the 228 in a range, the 229 slide feels heavy. It's what you get used to. I also think most prefer the g19 as a best all around. Since the g17 only holds 2 more rounds and is bigger, most opt for the g19. Especially since the 19 is slightly bigger than the g26. Not saying yoru wrong, I am just giving my experience with these guns and what other shooters I know feel.

I think the rails are the same but think the grip iteself is slimmer. Your comparing a .40 229 frame to a p226 frame which has more room to fit rounds because of it's length. Don't be surprised if the 228's grip is slightly slimmer because it's built on a 9mm frame and your 229 frame is slighty wider to hold your 357 sig / 40 mags. Bill your welcome to come over and compare the grips. I will say that with Hogue g10's, I don't notice the difference at all, it's very little.

Correct and if your trading with a non resident, you send the gun to there FFL and they send the gun to your ffl. Then you both follow what ever the states law is to get the pistol from the ffl.
