    Serenity movie

    Just bought Firefly DVDs tonight. I saw Serenity and saw all the chatter here about the series. never heard of it before. As I spent 2004 in Baghdad I guessed I missed it. Anyway, looking forward to the DVDs, some Jameson, and some quiet time.;)

    Care packages to Soldiers in Iraq

    I spent 2004 in baghdad and will be spending 2006 there as well. I am two weeks out from my flight. Bottom line is this, we like to get everything. The boxes went near the dayroom or common area. I took shampoo, my buddy took soap, so whatever you send we are glad to get. Yeah, there are PXs...

    Short Story, The guy who gave me my CHL class had a FFL. he said he would handle transfers or help us order the guy we wanted. Anyway, a few months after the class I found something on line I wanted. Called him and arranged the deal. His first response was why should I do this, I sell...

    What's your favorite, trustworthy, low cost, handgun for SD?

    Bought an old MDL10 for $99 plus shipping. Blueing was gone and I replaced the mainspring. It works like a charm, accurate enough. Not my beside gun, but I would consider myself armed if it was all I had.

    Beretta 92 owners?

    Get one. Great pistol. I have a INOX 92FS, a 92G Elite, a 92G Centurion, a 96FS, and a 92G Vertec. I prefer the G model (decock only). Go with houge rubber grips, no finger grooves (okay, coca bola on the INOX a Sunday gun) Get the D springs. Excellent pistols. If you look online...

    Sig 226, Sig 229 or Beretta 92FS Vertec

    I own all three. Got to say either one would be an excellent choice. This is not a "should in be a Lorcin or SIG" type issue. :eek: You will be well served by any of them. BUT, I would say the Vertec, but would not feel bad with any one of them.

    That'll teach you!!!

    This story reinforces my philosphy. As I grow older I tend to avoid confrontation if possible. Now do not get me wrong, not a coward, however it seems you never know who you are dealing with. I think is this issue worth my life, becasue it just may get escalated to that point. This is a...

    So am I a complete wussy or what?

    You are not a wuss at all. I used to hunt, I found I enjoyed the feeling of being out in the woods alone. The quiet, nature, and solitude was what I found I liked the best. So I gave up the hunting part. All things die, some things help others die, so be it. If you hunt, fine by me. I...

    Is the Glock SA or DA or DAO?

    Okay, where is my cookie. :neener: I called it a safe action many posts ago. :neener: Who cares what it is, it is still a GLOCK. That could be good or bad depending on your opinion.

    Guns you like but don't shoot well and vice versa

    SIG 229 in 40SW. I have a 226, 225, and 220. Shoot them well. For some reason I can not shoot as well with the 229. I should love it, it is concelable and packs 12 rounds of 40SW, nothing to sneeze at. For some reason it just does not work for me. Oh well, will not sell it though.

    No Court-Martial for Marine in Taped Shooting

    lunaslide, Okay, I "missed" that. Like I said, the way it was reported it did not look good for the marines. Clearing them of wrongdoing is fine by me, I am not crying conspiracy. I guess my point was how something was reported is not how the investigation turned out. Big surprise.

    No Court-Martial for Marine in Taped Shooting

    Okay, no charges to be filled. Good with me, I did not see the investigation. But if I remember this correctly, these marines were follow on forces. The guy they shot was treated for wounds by other marines and left in the mosque to be captured by other marines. That was what was reported...

    Is the Glock SA or DA or DAO?

    I am not a glockaphile, but I believe whatever the Glock does is called the "Glock Safe Action" by the company and experts. :D

    breaking army regulations...

    Exactly which army regulation "prohibits weapons in govt vehicles and offices"? Does this army regulation only cover privately owned weapons? I have had many weapons in vehicles and offices. Maybe it is not an army regulation but a policey from recruiting command? Personal weapons are...

    G.I. Jane...

    Interesting thread, I do think some are right on. It is not strength, training, or killer instinct. It is not carrying 200lb buddies around or rucking up a hill. It is the social issue. Females in units (no matter how Hoah they are) distract men. Period. Not all men but enough men. In...

    How many people shoot their carry gun in IDPA or other matches?

    I shoot with many different guns in IDPA because it is fun. Most of the time I do use a Berreta Elite for IDPA and always carry a Centurion. Same grip and manual of arms, just slightly shorter and lighter package.

    IDPA and Popular Pistols

    I luved the blind stage. I think every match should be blind. However, that is tough to do. Some may argue the target layout, I would not. The stage was fun, exciting and challenging. Yeah I know about the TAC vests. IDPA matches have never been known for fashion sense. I would never...

    IDPA and Popular Pistols

    While at the Fiesta match in San Antonio something occured to me. IDPA matchs are pretty much full of Glock of one flavor or another and 1911s of one flavor or another. My question is other manufactuers seem to be selling plenty of guns (i.e Sig, Berreta, Ruger, SW, CZ etc.) Why don't you...

    Just saw unedited Iraq helicopter video…

    To say all insurgents are just thugs and murders is a mistake. Some of these fellows drive cars filled with explosives into a target. They believe in what they are doing to the point of sacrificeing thier own lives. Are some of these targets by our definition innocent civilian types? yes...
