Ruger Mark III Talo
Mine was the same way, target exclusive, with hogue aluminum grips. I just had to have it. I think mine was a lipsey's exclusive tho. I thought about purchasing the aftermarket grips, but it would have been more $$ then to just buy the exclusive. The grips are expensive at around 70-80 bucks for the exclusive grips, if u can even find them. Hogue sells them for 50 but they arent the same and have no markings on them.

Big difference in accuracy between conversions and dedicated 22 pistols?
You should say there is one conversion kit on par, this is the first i have herd of that has good backing on its claim. But figure for the price of the conversion you can get an entire NEW pistol. Personally, i don't like conversion kits but that's just me. It's not a means to shoot a gun i enjoy at a cheaper rate, because your getting cheaper results. It's one thing if u truly do not like the look of the 22 target pistols, they do require a certain taste. If your not going to get an accurate dedicated 22 to begin with then there isnt much of a difference, as there are dedicated 22's that shoot worse then a conversion kit. The main thing to consider here... what is the intended use? what conversions are available to you? and how do they perform? I would argue that a sig conversion will not be on par with a ruger or buckmark. But does it need to be? If i was just looking to put lead down range, then my only concern would be is the conversion reliable. If i wanted something accurate i would go with a dedicated target pistol. It's hard to compare a target .22 to a conversion, even the rugers have dedicated target .22lrs with heavy bull barrels compared to there other models. When u pick up a target .22 u will know it, they have some weight to them.

They are probably some of the most reliable pistols.

Ruger Mark III Talo
If it's a dealer exclusive it will be harder to find, and almost impossible to find in a store. I have a target exclusive, which i purchased off gun broker, the local shop could have gotten it for me, but at a $100 dollar difference. Barrels are easy to change, but yes the serial number is on the barrel, so i guess you would need a Permit for another barrel. If u want to buy it in a store, u can get a regular SS fluted target and throw a fiber optic sight on it.

Cash/receipts lane closed on the parkway....then what?
I would take the exact change lane, not the ezpass. They seem to send out more tickets then who ever does it for the regular lanes. I have had to do this a number of times where exits only have 2 lanes exact change or ezpass. Never got a ticket, i did however throw what ever i had on me at the time.

Power to the People!
No one can prepare for something like this, more then likely main lines were down and transformers blew. The power companies dont have a "reserve" of workers massive enough to undertake everything that happened, and they prioritize. The neighborhood around the corner from me just got power on tonight because of a transformer, driving through u would wonder why the power was out, no downed lines. I'm not sure what people expect them to do? cut down every tree that is within the radius of a power line?

winter boots?
I have a pair of bates boots that i used all last winter, they are wonderful. They are actually desert boots, so there designed to allow your feet to breath, but they were toasty warm all winter when i had to work outside for hours at a time in 20 degree weather.

Fatal beating at LA Walmart
There were two other people involved(already in custody), and there was no connection between the victim. At least that's what i read in the paper this week. There was also a fight at a local restaurant in Wayne that ended in two people getting shot. No connection between them, someone got drunk and started a fight.

Browning BPS
Yeah i was reading in the manual that the receiver must use the same shell size as the barrel, thanks for the help, but looks like the options are limited with the 3 1/2 shell size.

Fatal beating at LA Walmart
No rhyme or reason... something like this just happened in september in paterson... Guy was ordering some food at a fast food restaurant, some guy walks in and start whaling on him with a machete... for no apparent reason, police are still looking for the guy.

Browning BPS
Hey guys, me and pal stopped in the local shop today to pick out a shotty for him. He wound up getting a Browning BPS, not sure of the exact model, but it's 12g 3.1/2" 28". He primarily purchased it for HD, but the likely hood of needing it surpasses the ability to actually use it for trap/skeet or wtv. So now were looking to find a nice short barrel for him to throw on it when at home... any suggestions are greatly appreciated as i'm not sure what is compatible. Thanks.

October snow!!!
man another transformer just blew down the street from me, sounded like a .50 cal going off. The hurricane didn't even bring down this many trees. My neighbors house caught fire from a downed power line, rendering my route home impassible. I was driving around in this sh*t making deliveries yesterday in a 4x4 mini-van(yes they exist)(and yes people were dumb enough to still have parties) half the houses i went to didnt even have power.. only thing that bothered me was getting hit by a falling tree limb. A lot of people were "retarded" yesterday, as in its a snow blizzard, stay home unless you really have to be somewhere... For instance... my other neighbor called us.. "hey a tree from your propert is tipped over are driveway can you do something i need to bring my grand daughter to toy r us.... r u kidding me? all the while at least 6 fire trucks are blocking the entire street, and massive branches are falling everywhere.

THE BATTLEFIELD 3 BETA
Remember it's all about shot placement, different parts of the vehicles are weaker then others. I'm pretty sure the turret and where it meets the cockpit is the best place to hit them, or directly in the rear. Also, this game was built from BF 2 not bad company, you couldnt even go prone in BC..what a joke.

THE BATTLEFIELD 3 BETA
Every time i get into a plane some jerk in a AA tank shoots me down, and the plane only has a gun.. no bombs..upgrade? or at least i havnt figured out how to use them yet... BF2 u hit the right mouse button and dropped your payload, left button was either the gat or A-A missiles u could pick between. BF2, the planes and helis flew sooo much better.

Video Game's
Well i work in a high school and i can say your stereotyping pretty hard. Kids are either motivated to work hard or their not, games are just the innate object you associate with unmotivated kids. Do guns not get bashed every time some nut goes shooting up a place? this isnt any different, people want to put the blame on innate objects that cant fight back. Its easier for the Board Of EDU and parents to make all the excuses in the world, when it comes down to it, their just not ready to blame themselves.

Video Game's
You cant really be blaming video games for poor parenting? If you teach your kids a little discipline this is a non-issue. Most kids play at night when their parents want them home in the house. I know i dont turn my xbox on until at least 10pm when im done with the day and ready to unwind.

Video Game's
Not true at all, i did a research project on video games for school and their impact on developing minds. Many people who did studies found them to be extremely beneficial if A) the kid doesn't stuff his face while playing and B) doesnt spend all day playing them. Games not only improve fine motor skills they also improve critical thinking and stimulate the mind. In many cases they give kids a way to release aggression in a controlled environment. They also have an extreme sense of reward, something normally associated with males. Video games do not rot the brain, however, just like anything in life, to much of something is never good. Video games are not meant to replace anything, but rather offer differentiation in growing minds.

THE BATTLEFIELD 3 BETA
Since the line is for pre-orders it goes pretty quick. I waited on line for 2 hours for halo 2, and once the doors opened the line was done in 30mins. Now i just go at 12:30 when the line is thinning out.

THE BATTLEFIELD 3 BETA
There not activating the servers until 3am, not sure if that will be the same for the non-PC versions. But origin wont let you launch the game.
