    The Official "Miami Vice: The Movie" THR thread.

    The thing that always amused me about the old Miami Vice shows is in the last 5 minutes, it was like a Shakespearean tragedy. Everyone gets killed. Except the stars of course. :) For those of you who were worried about a remake of a remake, that's what this actually is. The original Miami...

    Stock finishing

    Wow, you guys are making this a difficult decision! These all sound like great options. I'm going to have to mull this one over. The filler sounds nice because it leaves the wood as is and doesn't seem as labor intensive. The others are very appealing also. I will try and get back with pics...

    I do. No, I do, Not yours, mine.

    I always interpreted the "which _____ is best" as, "which _____ do you own?"

    Any other lefties tired of getting shafted?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that lefties are really ambis who dont know it yet :) I don't have any problem with rh firearms, in fact, there are many that I feel give me an advantage in reach and/or speed for things like safties and mag/slide/bolt release. I never have to release my...

    Accuracy of Semi-Auto Rifles

    Hope you dont mind the "butt-in" butt... What is it about a bolt action that makes it more accurate than a semi rifle in general? I have a hard time getting my head around that one. Once the bullet is in the chamber, it's pretty much chamber and barrel the rest of the way. How does the...

    Ruger SP 101

    I had an SP 101 a while back and it was the same thing. Couldn't hit crap. Oh, it was just me, you say? All snubbies are like that, you say? I beg to differ. My .44 special has a 2.5 and I can hit the 9 ring at 25 all day long standing offhand. I have to think it's the ruger. I don't care...

    What is your favorite carry gun? Why?

    That's not a set of brass knuckles. It's a meat tenderizer :p

    Stock finishing

    Yeah, another boring stock refinishing thread...:rolleyes: I have a rifle with some nice walnut on it, but it appears to be unfinished. You can even see pores in the wood if you look closely enough. Seems like it's hungry for a few coats of oil. I have read posts in the past that...

    Drilled and tapped...now what?

    I am not new to firearms, but I have always been an old school iron sights guy until now. I have a rifle that is drilled and tapped for a scope, and the rifle came with a b-square weaver rail and a couple of screws that are not self-tapping. This rifle is something of a collector's item, as it...

    cz question: Will witness mags work?

    Don't the 97B and witness both use mec-gars? I am certain the 97B does.

    First stage in +P experiment. Very unimprssed, so far.

    There is definitely a lack of uniformity among manufacturers as one would expect, but certainly not a myth. Just a term that is abused by many. There is real +P out there. Trust me. You'll know you've found it when you fire it from your shorty. Or your hands will anyway. ;)

    How far do you shoot your 44spl. & hit.....

    I was surprised by the accuracy of this round as well, though I had read about it elsewhere. From a 2.5 inch I can hit the 9 ring @25 yards all day offhand without really trying. I have seen guys struggle to make that at 7 yards with a lot more barrel.

    What is your favorite carry gun? Why?

    What? No .44 Special lovers? How bout an 80's vintage CA Bulldog-- 19 0z. unloaded, steel frame, and well, it's a .44! ;)

    Cosmoline

    I went the dishwasher route. I used the "anti bacterial" setting on the "pots and pans cycle, and static from the female unit--due to smell-- notwithstanding, ended up with a clean rifle. :) Walmart engine degreaser for all metal parts. Cheap and effective. "Madge, does it really...

    Thoughts on the PTR-91

    I have one sans flash hider that's not even broken in yet. I might be willing to sell it if anyone's interested. Have a case of SA in sealed rubber and accessories to go with as well. Message me if interested. TX

    The Most Potent Self Defense Rounds

    WAL-MART still has some of the one-shot stop bullets in stock. They are in the sporting goods section, right next to the hole-in-one golf balls. They cost a little more, but worth it if you ask me, for something that will work every time. :rolleyes:

    Least penetrative AR ammo for HD

    fwiw, no. 4 buckshot shows acceptable penetration in living tissue and theres 25+ pellets so more room for error, with less potential collateral damage.

    beretta storm

    And your point is? Oh, right. Nothing. Sarcasm is a poor substitute for facts and logic. Not one thing you said refuted a single fact I put in front of you, specifcally, the carbine is great for the range (much better than a pistol), is excellent as a HD for petite females teens, the...
