Duppie

Putting aside the SHTF aspect for hoarding, I purchase ammo when I see a good deal for the simple fact that a new Presidential election is on the horizon and don't want to be put in the unenviable position of considering $1.00/9 mm or $2.15/.38 range ammo and empty shelves......and no, reloading is not an viable option for me. I don't shoot as much as I would like but now have enough ammo to last several years of visits to the range.

Precisely....i have issues with the fact that it being his only firearm and somehow "forgetting it"...have any of you ever forgot where you last left your gun? and the lament that his ambition of bring a LEO is now dashed. If at that age you're that forgetful or just that stupid? perhaps it's for the best.

They do have a excellent scanner in their loan program but some Benz codes are proprietory so it will throw up a "generic" code,,,,, It will put you in the correct neighborhood but not the exact front door.Their scanner can also clear codes.

Sobieski is potato vodka and really very good..

Not necessary.....run it through a Brita filter. Quite a few of lesser vodkas have had sediment due to unevenly filtered water but still taste fine and there have even been a recent fad of taking inexpensive spirits and running it through filers to improve it's taste and drinkibility.

Sayerville Sportsman.....bereft of any semblance of courtesy or customer service.

Most wearable parts are special order and because of the relative scarcity of the platform,at times quite expensive. My BIL owns one with 180k that he will not part with but brake jobs and exhaust parts can prove to be pricy.

Excellent build and performance, Toyota dependability. Down side? Parts cost and availability,fuel economy.

I've got some Cubans smuggled in from Montreal also.....................

....You're on.....I'll bring the Kabobs.

Remember when I asked you if the trigger on my Model 27 was indeed factory or "tuned"? As the owner of both a Smith and Taurus the differences out of the box is like night and day.

I got some very strong ones that was vinyl covered so as not to mar your firearm's finish from Sportsman Guide and Natchez. I'm relaxing at home not lugging around a belt.holster and firearm regardless of how small and light it is....

Heavy duty magnets strategically mounted under or behind each room's furniture but only if childless or a home not typically visited by children......

We head up to "The Great White North" at this time of year..... Montreal is cold but it's a easy drive through some of the most scenic country on the East coast, The restaurants and bars are epic,skiing,tubing and snowmobiling are outstanding and you can cover everything from the Biodome to the Casinos in a long weekend.

I find it interesting that the very firearm the Army has deemed as fit for a combat sidearm all these years is a prime candidate for the "guns I regret buying" file.

Sig P250 9mm compact.................... Nuff said.

"Bag Balm".... I've used it since working on a farm in Canada one summer in my teens. It's actually a ointment used to sooth dairy cows teats from chafing but I've used it on my hands {In the restaurant business you wash your hand in hot water so many times a day} ever since and it's the best, also great on those nasty cracked heels. Available at most farm stores,Wegmans and some Walgreens.

I too purchased the P250 with the intention of later sourcing all the parts necessary to transform the gun into everything from a sub compact to a full size...perhaps converting to another caliber only to realize that the parts were not forthcoming,prohibitively expensive when available to the point it was almost worth it just to buy another gun. I could never get used to the long trigger and mine was ammo sensitive so FTE's were not unknown to the gun. The P320 is what the P250 should have been but I remain wary that Sig will fully support this firearm if no lucrative government contract appears. Personally I would stick to the Glock, already proven,parts are readily available and inexpensive and they support their platforms. ...that being said I would like to at least fire one...

Say What?...... we get jacked up for a wiff of a infraction...these fine folks had no license,unsecured hand gun,10+ hollow points,and weed and walked on their own recognizance? So which one's relative is a large donator to the political machine?

I agree and the very reason I purchase my firearms and ammo from my FFL and the internet. After an initial encounter with a gun store in Sayerville I find it difficult to do business with NJ dealers.

In Norway I ran Nokian as it is the most popular winter tire on the local market...they were amazing but very expensive but I venture not as expensive a sliding into a ditch or tree.

Jaruwan P out of Thailand. Does excellent work and at a bargain . I have his grips on 3 of my guns.

1967 Mini Cooper...my very first car.

All things being considered and while not a rabid Glock fan................. The Glock 19. It fires every time,holds 15 rounds,relatively lightweight,inexpensive parts and mags are easily sourced,accurate and an obvious choice in just about every handgun scenario.

I've worn Levis 501's since I was 12 years old and even remember sitting in a tub of warm water to shrink them and beating them against a rock wall to soften them up. It's a lot easier to wear them today as they come in so many colors,fits and materials but there's nothing like a honestly broken in pair of 501's.
