Deal on Dells NEW Memorial Day offer: 40%-50%
NEW Memorial Day offer: 40%-50% UPDATED Deal on Dells (USA only, sorry) http://www.dellrefurbished.com is the sales arm of Dell's business computer leasing operation. They take back end-of-lease computers, usually 2-3 years old, and refurbish them for sale. This includes a fresh load of the operating system (mostly Win 7 Pro). They put a 100-day warranty on them and sell them on their website. Right now, they have an overstock which they hope to clear by offering a discount. The deal a Memorial Day special of 40-50% off asking price on the website when you enter code memorial2015 (or try memorial50 or memorial40). Likely expiration date is 5/26. The discount code applies to desktops, laptops and monitors. I just picked up a killer notebook for my wife, an M4600 with 8gb ram, 320gb HD and i7 quad core 2.3 ghz processor and a 1920x1080 IPS Monitor with an Nvidia Quadro 1000M graphics card for $425 to my door.

Glock .22 conversion slide
You should have her talk with Sandy who is about the same height and just about only shoots .45 cal, maybe she would have some pointers for your GF.

Good points about today's cameras Dave. I recall way back when I bought my first Canon A1, which had what I thought was a strange sized battery. I wondered if the camera would even be usable down the road if they stopped making those batteries. That was my first experience with a camera that had electronics in it. But alas things change. Today our mechanical cars are also just computers on wheels, gone are the days of turning the distributor to adjust the timing

Dry fire is very useful, but only for certain things. I think you are better off shooting in practice what you shoot in "real life".

Glock .22 conversion slide
Don't think it so obvious as recoil and muzzle flip are totally different. You may actually develop bad habits which will become evident once you load the gun with "real" ammo. There are two schools of thought on this.

Well yes and no. It is a conversion slide, it is not a separate gun. When I bought my Kimber .45 it came with a .22 conversion kit. It works fine, I just the balance kind of strange to be shooting .22LR out of a heavy metal frame. There are pluses and minuses to these conversion kits, that is my only point. To each their own.

For that much money why not just get a real .22 cal pistol? Yea I know you need a permit, but big deal.

Samsung will not honor a warranty if not purchased from one of their authorized distributors. They have a list on their web page listing all of them. So, the question becomes do you want to buy a big ticket item with no coverage from the manufacturer. Hopefully you never have problems, but if you do you are at the store's mercy or on your own. On the plus side if these things work out of the box they probably won't have too many problems, but you never know. I always buy stuff from PC Richard as they are a private company and will negotiate and their service is amazing. When I bought an LG washer and dryer from them the dryer had been damaged in transit. They immediately took it back, but there were no more in stock and it was going to be six weeks till another shipment came in from Korea. They gave me a loaner dryer for those six week, hooked it up and when mine came in they took it out and delivered mine and hooked it up all at no charge. Not many stores would do that.

Call it a myth, call it what you want; anyone that comes and eats steak cooked on our grill tells us how much better it is than the way their's cooks.

I think when I got it, which was about 15 years ago, it was somewhere around $1,300 or so. What is so amazing about it is that it gets so hot that you sear in all the juices of a steak. You cook it on high for about 90 seconds on one side, 90 seconds on the other side; then turn it down to low and cook about 3-8 minutes to get the inside the way you like it.

Federal judge grants injunction against DC "good cause" requirement
The left will fix this inconvenient court decision. They will just get king 0bamba to write an executive order banning all guns within "X" miles of the White house for national security reasons. That will not only solve this carry problem but will let them go house to house and business to business confiscating all weapons for national security. If anyone does not like it they can take it to court and perhaps is 5 to 8 years the executive order might get thrown out

Did you find any negatives about installing the Ghost connector? I thought I read somewhere it introduces a bunch of creep that is not there in the OEM.

CZ-75 SP-01 Tactical
RTSP did if for me fairly cheaply when I bought my first CZ. The darn mags were all 16 rounds, one freakin round too much. CZ used to offer 15, but then eliminated them and only had 16, but now they are offering 15 again.

Grill cover only lasts like 3 years. WTF?
I've got I TEC infrared stainless grill, don't need no stinkin cover Actually when I first bought the grill I had a very expensive vinyl cover with felt padding on the inside and it lasted somewhere around 3 to 5 years. I think it is the UV from the sun that destroys them.

Not familiar with that one, send me a pm about it and how much you want for it.

The SS Enhanced looks like a great gun for the price, but seems she only comes it .45 at this price. If it was 9mm or even .40 I would jump all over it.

Thanks for offering Stu, but I'm good with SSP. I would have let you know if I wanted to change. But that Bug-A-Salt could be fun.

Cool Stu, I think I'll shoot my Bug-A-Salt in that case!

Don't know Bob, I registered for SSP. The old MD got pissed at me when I changed the Division I was shooting in. The new MD just gets pissed at me all the time

I don't know how much shorter it was than it supposed to be, and I don't know if they just measured it or put it in another frame. I had offered to send the entire frame in to them, but they told me that would not be necessary. I can only guess they measured hole to hole on the broken link. I am guessing they just grabbed the wrong one when they originally built the gun. I guess we will have to wait a year or so to see if this stays good.

UPDATE: Got barrel back today with link replaced. They said that the original link was too short which is what caused it to break.
