Agreed and kind of my point I guess, which is why I say they just change the firearm to a different 9mm caliber pistol. 1. they keep all the already made 9mm in stock 2. no need for new contracts with ammo manufacturers 3. Everyone already "knows" how to shoot a 9mm, with the exception of controls and recoil differences. The irony is great. They wanted it to fell a horse so they could stop cavalry, which I suppose a .45acp can do but I'm not going to test it out. And after what I suppose was great debate they ended on the weaker 9mm but looky now it isn't up to snuff. Still a good round but I suppose nothing can fit what everyone needs/wants in one caliber. How about a folding stock to increase the accuracy on the .45acp or 10mm for the "less inclined" military marksman? ok silly and not practical but it could work... ok seems like enough video games for me with that idea.

+1 I have the non-Tac version. I love it.

I see what you did there

I've been doing some on the topic of the caliber to use. The issue that everyone talks about and then ignores is the ability of the rounds to be shot by a wide range of military personnel and by that I mean size, weight and strength and also general proficiency with the firearm. I and several other may be able to shoot a 10mm with good accuracy and get the nose back on target sooner than others even though they may be bigger and stronger.... blah blah They go NATO 9mm, just a Sig P226 or the like. ( frame mounted safety)

See this is advice. And this is advice. The left out portion is not. To set aside any more problems or issues from continuing, I want to say that I like your system there of saving up twice and using the other half on the family.

Point taken. Still doesn't t mean to insult people and call them children. Didn't see that in the original post either.

Let me get you a ladder for you high horse. This is constructive. And is my system for my purchases. I'll bring the ladder to you next. Look guys. I started this with the intention of some laughs. Not being scolded. This was to hear some funny and possibly made up silliness about how you keep that "toy" out of your mind until you have the money. Humor is a mature coping mechanism. That was what was supposed to happen here. Oh, well. KCCO

I'm in need of coping mechanism advice. I want to see how you guys deal with seeing a firearm that you really want but just can't have yet. A rifle came up for sale on here just the other day and it is exactly what I want. The rifle the aftermarket barrel profile, cut and length. All there for the taking but I have no money exchange so that I could take it. So, how do you all deal with this dilemma? KCCO

An f1.4 wow. That would cost an arm and a leg now. I know, been trying to save up money for one. But then I got a FNX 45, now over 1500 rounds, and now I want a CZ455 sooo I need a better job.

Wow, Thanks everyone. That was fast and ran the entire gambit of options. It is good to hear that almost everything will give you good results with some work. I will probably first try the toothpaste and then one of the kits if I don't like the results. I don't have the buffers and wet sandpaper lying around like some of you luckier folk. If, I can figure out how to post pics I'll show my results. Thanks for all the advice. KCCO

My GF's car has some pretty foggy/oxidized headlights. I've been doing some internet digging on ways to fix the problem aside from new housings. So, I wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with some of the kits available for lens restoration for oxidized housings. I have heard good things about the Sylvania kit. There is also the simple do it yourself way with some automotive wet-dry high grit ( ie 2000-3000grit) sandpaper, soapy water and then some plastic polishing compound ( equivalent to 5000 grit I think). Thanks for any help/opinions. KCCO

Devil bastards! They peckered the crap out of my cedar siding. I'd scare them off with some airsoft pellets in their ass but we all know I'd be vilified/a felon/shot.

If we only get ccw then I'll have to get bigger pants and carry my fnx 45. Lol

You found it for how much!? Where? Damn, I'm selling my plain jane and getting the tactical if it is that cheap. All the ones I found were easily 1200

Got a chance a the American and the 10/22 at a Ruger promotion. All the way in Wisconsin, visiting gf's family. Really like the American even with the silly name. Smooth bolt, locking in the down position will take some time to smooth out. Trigger was pretty good. Length of pull is meh for me. Maybe a little longer would be nicer. The 10/22. I must be he only person in America that can't get the bolt release to work. It is only the most widely used, available and loved 22 rifle in the world. So count me as embarrassed, but in my opinion that bolt release system is stupid. Pull back and press in that tiny sliver of metal up towards the action? It just doesn't make sense. And that stupid thing hurt my finger trying to get the release toggle into place. Also no hold open bolt on the last shot is also silly to me. I like everything else about it though. Now to get my hands on the others.

Chiapas rhino too. Can't decide on 5 or 6 inch. So both!

1. FNX 45 tactical (have the regular) 2. Garand sniper version, just love the idea of a .30-06 3. 1911 close to WWII G.I. 4. FN 5.7 5. Barret M107A1 6. Sako .22 range model 7. Para 1911 warthog for a little pocket protection 8. AR in 300blk 9. SCAR 17 10. M2 11. Sig P210 12. Sig P226 13. Beretta 12g trap, you know the fancy looking kind

Agreed. Best one yet. And what a change to the movie universe of Marvel.

We don't fight. Just make sure that we can keep a roof. The $50 bit would be nice if she didn't like firearms too and know exactly what they are and cost, lol.

Unsolicited is correct. There is one thing to be pussy whipped and there is another to be listening to advice. First her points are advice. I don't need to buy another $1000 pistol in the same year whether I want it or not. Not listening to someone you love because you want to show you have balls is juvenile and sophmoric. I am really only using the gf as an outside excuse for keeping my money. But I thought it would get a laugh and not this kind of reaction.

Congrats. I'm jealous. I want one of those. Just need the funds. Permit. And permission. Lol gf doesn't like me spending that much money. Enjoy

Didn't think you were insulting it. Just pointing out my taste of firearms and my hypocrisy in keeping it wallet friendly. FNH mags are not cheap neither was the damn gun for that matter. Still love it and wouldn't change a thing. It also took me 8 months to decide on it, while I waited for the permit of course.

Well I have an FNX 45. Something that most people don't have but not because it is bad. I think it awesome. But that Sako in the range model stock is just so damn pretty to me.

Para warthog 10 rounds of 45 acp seems like it could do the job. No experience with it. Just seemed like it was the right size, right capacity and hell I think the 45 has a little more umph than a 380 if I am not mistaken. http://para-usa.com/2013/firearms/expert/warthog.php

Yeah that was my mistake. I have a whole list of rifles including semi-autos and that was snuck in there by mistake. I've adjusted the choices and added in some.
