Help with "sorting" a firearm for a friend...
Hi! Both of my 1911s are nicely modified for short fingers/small hands , thanks to Bob's help I put VZ slim grips on them ( get the bushings and screws for slim grips as well ) ..then I had the trigger shortened on both of them. They both feel great ( A Colt Combat Elite and a Smith E series , both 45 ACP) . Can be done for in and around 200 bucks. PM me if you think she would like to meet me at the range to try them out . Like Bob said , Shari and I also run a women's club and we have a lot of great events coming up. I can guest her into Woodland Park. Let me know!

Rode the 50 BMG :)
We were at Old Bridge , yes Smokin .50 ( Dave ) hosted us there. Let us try some Black Powder ( so much fun ) in a novelty match , then we got to try to BMG , then we did a photo shoot. It was a good day

Faaa-BOOM! That thing was cool. There was a nice and generous Barret owner there ( typical of the firearms community in my experience) who was real happy to let me and my friend Shari give it a try ( my friend Shari had shot one before) . I was a little nervous but with some encouragement from the rifle owner and Rosey ( Smokin .50 ) I let it rip. Very glad I did ! Lots of fun And surprisingly not that bad in the recoil department.

what is the process for selling a firearm out of state?
It is not that bad really. Just go to an FFL that does not also sell firearms ( they tend to have lower fees) . Lincoln Park True Value Hardware is in your area I believe. Bruce is a nice guy.

who says glocks are ugly???
I ran over Snake Eyes with a lawn mower last year. First the dog ate him , then I mowed over him. We never did find his night vision goggles but his 1" long sub machine gun and his pistol made it through.

Thanks Dave

Looks only count on 1911s , wood stocked long guns , and revolvers. Who cares what the Tupperware looks like? It has a job to do , if it does it well well then good enough for me. And I'm a girl. Sheesh you guys

Camera recommendations?
As far as sharpness , I think web posting has really put way too much emphasis on "sharpness" that oversharpening is epidemic. Not saying you do this Howard , before you flip out lol I mean in general , people are too concerned with achieving a cut out look . Then when they go to make a print any larger than 5 x 7 it looks ridiculous. Maybe nobody makes prints anymore :/

Camera recommendations?
I have been intrigued by micro 4/3 , and some of my peers have done large galleries with them .It is just that I have spent 8 years building my current lens library I cant wrap my mind around a different interchangeable lens system lol For the OPS parents it did cross my mind , but I think most are out of price range for something like what they wanted? I may be wrong , prices may have dropped since I last looked.

STI Trojan is killing me with feed jams
I can understand why you favored it for the match. Very nice shooting gun .

Looking for a pistol range - some requirements
The ventilation at GFH and RTSP is new and the latest greatest. I have been to both ranges , and belong to GFH and did not notice any difference as far as fumes. GFH is a clean as it gets indoors. If you are indoors , you will smell gunpowder . If there IS any difference between the two locations it is negligible and most would not notice. In other words , if you did not find shooting indoors at GFH acceptable it wont be acceptable at RTSP either , or any indoor range for that matter. I think maybe indoor shooting is not for you I love shooting outdoors , I think most outdoor ranges in NJ will meet your criteria except for the rental part.

That is a nice gift I hope they have a wonderful trip!

Told you to shoot the Glock at the match .

Camera recommendations?
I would second not sending them out with a new DSLR . Other photographers I know rave about the G series Canon cameras. I only have Nikons , like Howard - and i don't have a point and shoot ( though I should) ..but like I said plenty of pro photogs choose G series when they do need to carry something point and shoot-ish.

My baby looks like a dog :(
And yeah , should have bought another Pilot. Oh well. The crate that barely fits in the back of the Lincoln is 24 " tall , Alvin is 27 " tall. If he had not eaten the back seat belts in the last car I would Give him free reign back there lol Maybe when he gets a little older. Sent from my SGH-T999L using Tapatalk

I looked at your other recent pics and her growth plates do not look closed yet , they still look pretty knobby. What is the standard for Huskies? It is somewhere around 45 or 50 pounds for bitches , right? My German Shepherd is about 85 pounds at 15 months..he should fill out untilabout 2 1/2. He is German lines and they tend mature a bit slower. He was about 35 pounds at 5 months lol They do usually stick within the parents size range for the breed . Have no idea about Alvin's Sire and Dam though. Sasha is gorgeous . I'll have to stop by and say hello next time I run into you. I meant to text you on my way out yesterday but never got to it .
