Well, I didn't know they sunk that many boats...

Believe the Sheffield was a missile frigate or destroyer if you like... But many others could be used as examples.

Don't know if I totally agree the battleship is dead. As with the B-52 or BUFF Big Ugly Fat Fellow (last word replaceable) will still be picking up the B-2 Pilots when they are dropped off at Boneyard in AZ. Has the mission changed, yes and they are a bullet magnet, I would argue with the...

Not in the Free State of Florida you won't, as the fear of the Dealer and the ATF is still real... Damn check every time regardless to include even being the PoPo. And if he doesn't have a "Florida" conceal carry, three days for you, even with a Federal Carry... What was that about "Shall...

Open carry in urban settings doesn't set well with me as too many clowns will strap one on for the drama, as it only takes a couple idiots to screw up the program. That said, "Shall not infringe" is pretty clear as the battle for your rights continues...

First exposure to the .45 ACP was in bootcamp as we had to take them apart first, then reassemble and then onto the range where I qualified expert with the old rattling 1911. Went on to use .45 ACP in LE as well, the round was impressive for auto-pistols compared to the, wait for it 9mm. The...

Learned in life the bigger picture can get obscured by the trees directly in front of you. Yea that one was corny and on a day the ability to debate that big picture has been seriously put into jeopardy with great prejudice. RIP Charlie K we miss you already...

Great song and brings back some memories of 30 years ago at Quantico for some training... As for Ayoob and although, don't agree with all your points or maybe I do, damn getting old, don't remember. Can't argue with this one, as it's reference to always learning. His and others watching the...

Well, there was a time when being covered in a gunfight with some bank robbers by an officer, with an empty gun. Got a little irritated when I found out. But he was injured and didn't realize he had emptied the revolver into the windshield of the bad guy's vehicle when they rammed his door with...

Yeah and had to qualify at 50 yards weak hand, but I did have new-fangled speed loaders and to be honest still turned good times. Last round in our four shot tube mags was a slug in a Deer Slayer model... Then there was the 6" barrel and slung swivel holsters for seating comfort. Clad with...

Yep annual requals are something to see and despite free range day ammo once a month, those that needed it the most weren't there, because they would want overtime... I do remember Navy Boot Camp walking into the in-door range for 1911 introduction of field stripping and qualifications. The...

Well, there was one that was much worse... The North Hollywood Shootout in 1997 is a prominent incident where officers ran out of ammunition and had to borrow guns and magazines from a local store to outgun heavily armed bank robbers. A gunfight that lasted 44 minutes in a rolling shoot-out...

True, just reminded me how the dictates of one person can ruin the work of a committee, that reviewed many factors and changed course. Like you said, isn't efficient to change for the purpose of one opinion alone. Just because you can doesn't mean one should, I agree...

Had a new Sheriff (outsider)come in and complained about the issued HK USP in .45 were too heavy. Caught him in uniform one day with empty mags, as I questioned and asked if he was really that "tactically challenged..." It got worse as he decided everyone should carry what they want...

Lost me at 9mm...

Dems first... LOL

Funny that is the only one they can point to and more of a testament of a pistol round, as if it had been 9mm, based on bullet weight and mass needed to kill the evil, that could have took over 28... :rolleyes: Guess that would have left, naw just would have used em faster.

I couldn't buy a 1911 in 9mm, just can't, won't, just sacrilege as I wouldn't want to aggravate St. John as he built the Hi-Power for that... So yeah, I bought a 2011 and it carries 19 in the box with one in the pipe in DLC finish and it is as slick as one can get. But damn they are proud of...

Happiness is a warm gun (bang, bang, shoot, shoot) Happiness is a warm gun, momma (bang, bang, shoot, shoot) When I hold you in my arms (ooh, oh, yeah) And I feel my finger on your trigger (ooh, oh, yeah) I know nobody can do me no harm (ooh, oh, yeah) Because Happiness is a warm gun, yes it is...

Always wanted to use that and claim over 111 years in service, but the names 1903 and 1907 get in the way, were a bit different in build with 2 links and such...
