1911 guys, does the idiot mark bother you?

[Tamara]

JackStraw,

You did didn't ya.

There should be a comma between "did" and "didn't".

 

[JackStraw]

Only if the writer intended to show an inflective pause between did and didn't...and he didn't.

 

[Correia]

Grammer fight! Grammer fight!

 

[Tamara]

Correia,

It's "grammar".

JackStraw,

What the writer intended to do is not as material to the discussion as is what he should have done.

Grammar AND Punctuation - - -

Uh, Tamara, while you're in teacher mode, how about some pointer's on misuse of apostrophe's? Seeing these little mark's put in at the wrong place's really get's me upset.

It's near about enough to send me into an epiletic fit of catonic apoplexy.


Some of my Browning-type pistols have THAT HORRIBLE MUTILATION and some don't. (pause while he checks out the Commander . . . .) This particular one don't.

I have a couple of "safe queen" guns which I pamper. Couple more which I haven't even fired. But almost all of my pistols are like my boots and wristwatch and car. I have 'em to use. They're clean and functional, and I try to keep them in pretty good shape, but if they get scratched up - - - oh, well.

Best,
Johnny

I could care less. Guns are tools, not object's de art

 

[JackStraw]

What the writer intended to do is not as material to the discussion as is what he should have done.

Exactly! That was my point in the first place.

Tamara,

I am intrigued that we think alike...and very pleased as I have seen what I believe to be a very complementary picture of you.

Respectfully,

JackStraw

Mine didn't, until I sent it to Springfield for warranty "repairs" (the first time). It came back with one. Yes, it bothers me.

 

[Quinch]

Bogie called it.

I have not put an idiot mark on my trp operator, but I take great exception ot the notion that getting the damn slide release reinserted without extra tools and hand to use them is no problem.

It's a bit PITA evey time. The plunger is very stiff, and the slide release is a tight fit itself.

Oh and for the apostrpophe.. tamara may not have chimed in, bob the angry flowe rwill teach ya!

I put a little bitty one on my new Springfield frame when I first got it. My first 1911 and I figured out the field stripping and assembly pretty much by trial and error right there on the desk.

I'm lucky I even got the thing back together at all.

Johnny: I have lot's of gun's and none of the 1911's bear the dreaded mark.

Heres to all you guy's and gal's who have learned to avoid the scratch's that mar the beautiful creation's of our arm's company's.

...for the 'garammir poe-lease': The idjit mark don't bother me none. I gots me a teeny-tiny one on my Kimber. Happened when it wuz brand new and the little scratch happened on the second reassembly (I think). My Kimbers for shootin' and usin' and it don't go in no display case for alls y'all to gawk at.
