... And You've Often Thought You Are Stupid
Many layers of stupidity here. 1st - the seller... obviously. Odd that he wouldn't even open the safe to check the contents. Stupid 2nd - The buyer, for letting it be known that they found $26,000 for free. Stupid 3rd - Even if the Seller was the one who realized the money was in there after the fact, and contacted the buyer... The buyer should have denied everything. Stupid

Chainsaw comming through your front door. Would you Shoot?
No, I HOPE wouldn't shoot. I HOPE I'd wait until the door was breached, and hesitate for a half-second to evaluate the situation. I wouldn't expect burglars to chainsaw my door down. Russian mob...maybe.

Top Shot Tuesday
Agreed. I was hoping the janitor would win the elimination round. That LEO guy was a total douchebag. After winning, he said something extremely douchey to the janitor guy. "Dueces Frank" or something.

Anyone else use wood to heat their home in the winter?
You're very lucky. I wish I could own a wood burning heater. But town ordnance won't allow it. Eventually, we'll get a retirement place in the mountains. That will have a high efficiency wood burning stove, solar panels, well water, etc. Nice to live energy-independant... IE: free energy.

Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
Funny, I have both these videos downloaded to my phone. Great reviews. Only thing that's hard to tell is the difference in felt recoil, grip, etc. All of which I feel is unique to each person.

Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
Thanks. Good video. But only compares those two pistols.

Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
I'm completly lost now. The Ruger was my favorite for a long time, based on the paper stats, and online reviews. My plan was to purchase and install modifications to remove all the bs safeties, and improve the trigger. However, I hated how it felt in my hand. Plus, why spend $400 on an LC9, plus another $100 on mods just to make it "ok?" The Kahr and the Nano felt great, with a significant edge going to the Kahr. The NANO would edge-out the Kahr, if a small pinky extension for the magazine was available. However, that would make the NANO taller than the Kahr. Therefore, my sights are set on the Kahr..... i think....

Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
Does anyone own any of the following: Kahr CM/PM 9 Keltec PF9 Ruger LC9 Beretta NANO ? After holding all of those in my hand, the Kahr and Nano are at teh top of my list. However, I believe that nothing beats actually firing each one to determine the winner. I'd hate to make a $300-500 mistake. If anyone is willing to let me try them out, I will provide the factory ammo. Any leftover ammo after the session is your to keep.

Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
I've looked at the XD9, and although it's in the size range, I'm looking for minimum size in a 9mm. Also, I already own a G19.

Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
Specifically, I'm debating which pocket 9mm gun to purchase. As-of last night... I feel like I'm eating my own words... I had the chance to hold and feel the Beretta Nano, Ruger LC9, Keltec PF9, Walther PPS, and Kahr PM9 all in one sitting! The Beretta Nano felt incredible in my hand. Perfect fit, and mold to my palm. Also felt incredibly solid and well-built. Only negative is that the grip is way too short. Needs a magazine extension badly. The Kahr felt great in my hand, but the price kinda puts it out of range for my budget. Walther PPS felt too thin for a proper hold. Keltec PF9 feels good in the hand, although the pattern is a bit rough. However, the gun rattles so much, I wouldn't feel confident it would last a lifetime. Ruger LC9 molded well to my hand, but the grip texture feels like it might cut into my hand during fire. I'll have to see if someone will let me shoot their LC9 to get a final vote. Right now, the LC9 is actually my favorite.

Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
I admit I'm not knowledgeable enough to fully understand the pros/cons of Hammer Fired, vs. Striker Fired. Can anyone please educate me?
-
Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
From the many reviews and videos I've been watching, comparing the Nano, PF9 and LC9... I did notice the slide on the Nano looks much bulkier than the other two. Perhaps due to RedBowTies point that the Nano will eventually be manufacturer in 40mm. I do prefer striker fired, over hammer fired. But in niche that these pistols are aiming for, Weight and Bulk should be first priority. No?
-
Beretta NANO - Missed the Market Niche?
Does anyone agree that the Nano seems to have missed the market niche? For a 9mm pocket gun, it's bulkier than the Keltec PF9, and heavier that either the PF9 or the Ruger LC9. It holds 6+1 rounds (PF9+LC9 - 7+1 rounds) Weighs .5 ounces more than LC9, and 4 ounces more than PF9 Most importantly, it's impossible to find and costs more than either other choice. Is the fact that it's a Beretta the major attraction? (FYI - I'm in the market for a 9mm pocket-sized gun)

Last permit to burn in 28 days... what to buy?
I said Ruger LCP because protecting yourself in a real-life situation should take priority over fun. IMO... I'm actually in a very similar boat. My next gun was going to be a Ruger GP-100, but have decided to pickup an LC9 instead. (even though we can't CCW in NJ) I'm choosing the LC9 because it means I won't have to stock-up on additional calibers. After the LC9, I'll definitely get the .38/.357 revolver down the road.

Anyone own the V-Line In wall "cloest" safe?
I own, and recently installed the Stack-On version in my closet. Fits 2 long-arms, and then a shelf or three (depending on length of long-arms). Sturdy enough to stop would-be smash and grab type thiefs. Won't stop someone with a crow-bar and 15-20 minutes of time. But the primary "security feature" is the in-wall design. After painting it the same color as my wall, and hiding it behind a rack of clothing, you would have no idea it is there.

att starting to suck!!!
Starting to suck?? I abandoned the ATT ship back when the Nokia brick phones were in fashion. Makes me feel good to know that all the iPhone fanboys have been taking it up the rear by ATT. ...until Verizon picked up the iphone at least.

Looking for a Pocket CCW Gun.
One thing that is rarely mentioned during these ".380 vs. 9mm for CC" is the +p, or +p+ ammunition. If it was me, I'd be carrying no less than +p in my concealed 9mm. This gives a much larger advantage over .380, in the concealed-9mm package. ... fire-power-wise at least.
