Brand new and looking for some advise
Would a 1911 be a good first gun? Perhaps.. That is all up to your own personal taste. I will say that .45 is an expensive caliber to get into for a first gun. Reason being is that as a newbie, you will want to shoot...and shoot ALOT. My advice when you get your ID is to always keep an eye out for internet deals on ammo and buy in bulk when possible. Renting handguns can help you decipher more of your taste, but it does get expensive. I know for a while Shore Shot used to let you switch rental handguns as long as it was in the same caliber. You might want to check them out (yes, rental ammo is expensive) There are a number of supported vendors that offer training classes you can find in the vendor section below in the forums. Check their schedules and im sure you will find one that fits. Safety and basic cleaning information can be acquired all across the internet, but it's always nice to have someone experienced to reinforce what you have learned in person. I would be more than happy to meet up sometime at BA or SS (although my schedule is kinda crazy right now).My selection of guns to try out might be a little limited (226, M&P40, G19) maybe we can get a couple of us together and get a meetup and throw some more variety in the mix. Tuesdays usually works for me

Olympic Games
I am boycotting watching the olympics until the fitness pole is accepted as a sport. Because let's face it, moves like this already make these "gymnasts" a grand a night, might as well get them a gold medal too

suggestions for a female friend of mine?
My wife enjoyed shooting my .40 p226, however racking the slide was near impossible (even with the tips for racking for women) I bought her an M&P40 to use with a 9mm conversion and she loves it. adjustable backstraps are great to allow comfort between her hands and mine, and she was able to rack it right out of the box unfired.

Want to buy Magpul mag with Round-count window
www.midwestpx.com sells them and is a vendor on this forum. The windowed mags work but obviously along with the mag limit the orange line will only show up to 15. I dont think it looks too bad. The Emags are nice for presentation when showing off your rifle. By the way the block that he uses is clear plastic so it does not affect the look of the mag.

Im back.... In short doses...
Wow... Glad to hear you're ok (in the grand scheme of things) and on the mend. Take it slow and dont rush recovery. You'll be back plinking before you know it.

Need [G]lock guidance
Ahhhhh so its not factory for the fde? Perhaps ill just get the evil black handgun and possibly get it cerakoted. I like the look of the od and have plans for a 5x7 in fde in thefuture so diversity is my goal. Dont know if its just me but blue is just plain boring over time.

Need [G]lock guidance
So I got two permits to burn so I have to use one soon. Instead of dropping a few extra hundred on an inox now, I figure i'll take the plunge and get a glock first and save the beretta for an xmas present to myself. Now here is where my dilemma starts.. I am particularly drawn to the OD green in a g19 flavor. I am led to believe this was a limited run in gen 3? Further the gen4 color choice is fde only? I guess if I fall short I will just get a mean black pistol as glock intended, but I gotta say the OD looks pretty damn good. Any insight from glock fans as to my options? Is the OD a unicorn to find new? FDE readily available through a glock dealer? Thanks.

Palmetto State armory
Thos process is for handgun ammo ONLY. Rifle/shotgun ammo do noy require fid to be furnished And yes the restocking fee does suck, but avoidable if proper order procedure had been followed.

Palmetto State armory
I just re-forward my previous FID email so they have no "we lost it" excuse.. cover all my bases and Ive never had a problem. To not expect shipping delays on such a huge sale/free shipping promotion is silly.

- Palmetto State armory
Before you checkout for your order, there is a warning that all handgun ammo sales require an FID to be emailed to their "[email protected]" account. It's nothing new that they require it. Now that the free shipping is over I expect them to go back to normal. Hell... I bought ammo right before their sale ended..emailed my fid, received the ammo a week and a day later... I JUST got the "your product has shipped email" two days ago..- Obama's "Hope and Change" -- lower expectations

- Anyone ever Root their cell phone??
Ive rooted both my OG droids and my Bionic. Its worth it if you intend on using the features you will able to unlock with it. I've run plenty of roms and themes, OC'd kernels etc. There's a lot of customization to be had and the sense of freedom that comes with it. If I may ask... what phone? Most one click root methods make it really easy nowadays instead of doing it the old fashion way. Either way, the best advice is to read the instructions AHEAD of time and go step by step whilst rooting. Phones dont magically brick while properly following an established root method. 99.9% of the time it is user error that destroys a phone.- 1000+ posts.Thanks for your patients.
