    Walther P99. Yay or nay

    I have looked for over two years and have not found an all metal 9mm pistol that emulates my P99. I thought the CZ 75 D PCR was going to do it but nope. Admittedly much of it is personal preference. What I really like about the P99. 1) It is a duty size pistol but is actually a tad smaller...

    Walther P99. Yay or nay

    I really do prefer all metal pistols. I own one polymer pistol. I just cannot find an all metal pistol that can do what the polymer pistol I own does. My one polymer pistol is a Walther P99 Just my two cents.

    Top 3 Firearm things you bought this year

    That's my tale as well. In fact seems like I am often thinking about what I should try to sell due to lack of use.

    Federal 9 mm HST Micro

    Yes, according to one review. As you said " why would anyone want to ignore that" more than one other review come to different conclusions in all respects. Velocity is gtreater than the 800 Ft /Sec you keep referencing, penetration is consistently over 12 inches and as much as 16 inches and...

    Federal 9 mm HST Micro

    Exactly! The micro is not designed as a hyper velocity round. Further more what criteria does anyone Use to determine that the one review posted in this thread is goapel? There are other reviews that agree the Micro 150 is a perfectly viable personal defense round. Adequate penetration...

    Federal 9 mm HST Micro

    I agree, almost universally what I found place it's performance on par with the 147 gr. They also agreed that the cost was the prohibiting factor. I will stay with the 147's but I will not be worried about dropping the 150"s in the cylinder in the meantime.

    Federal 9 mm HST Micro

    Yeah, I thought they were more than a tad pricey. And I didn''t notice until the cashier rung them up! LOL Someone must be buying them though. Their spot on the shelf was empty with the exception of the one box. It was my third attempt at findi the 147gr and I wanted to get something besides...

    Federal 9 mm HST Micro

    While enroute to Florida I stopped into a Cabela's in Fort Mill SC looking to pick up some 147 gr Federal HST. Not a single round to be had. However sitting all by itself looking lonely was a single box of 20 150 gr HST Micro. At the expense of showing my ignorance I admit to having fever...

    WTF??? Acosta is allowed back?

    If Acosta is back and I am Sarah Sanders I would get things in order at the first press conference he attends. I would say "Before we begin I have something to say to everyone . What we do here is a question and answer format. It is NOT a venue for debate or for anyone in attendance to...

    CNN Sues Trump For Firing Acosta

    Dayten, Think about the times we are in. Believe me, by Acosta just touching her in any way shape or manner without her consent is a physical assault. I have witnessed just such an incident in the work place. Job lost and a career ended as a result. Edit: In fact it appears to me that his...

    CNN Sues Trump For Firing Acosta

    Reporters are there to ask questions and gather information to "report". They are not there to enter into a debate with the president, the press secretary or anyone else representing the White House. Acosta's actions were disruptive and crossed way over the line big time. The White House has...

    F/S 1932 Chrysler Roadster

    I believe Hemming's ad's run for a specific time that you paid for. And as I recall it is not inexpensive. I will try to see if I have any information on the company that sold my car. If I can find anything I will pass it on to you. I also had a VW air cooled Beetle I was selling on...

    F/S 1932 Chrysler Roadster

    Just a thought for you. I had a vintage vehicle that was for sale. I really dislike Craigslist but wanting to get all the exposure available I listed it. Of course I got the usual scammers. There are a couple of organizations that monitor Craigslist watching for cars, truck and...

    Savage, 7mm Little help from the forum

    Actually we watch the weather in NL almost daily. Where we are it is usually slightly warmer than upstate NY. Probably because it is right on the water. Using the s/n with Savage I have confirmed that the rifle is a model 111 chambered in 7mm Rem. Mag. Magazine is a 3 round and Savage is out...

    Savage, 7mm Little help from the forum

    Thanks Rondo, Well, like I said. Long guns are far from my forte. Both in what I know about them as well as my proficiency with them. My friend just said 7mm and I assumed he was talking about 7mm Rem. Mag. I would imagine that is the case. About the only thing I can think that the owner...

    Savage, 7mm Little help from the forum

    Hey folks, I need a little assistance. My interest in firearms centers around handguns with the exception of a couple of SKS's that I bought just for no reason I guess. A very good friend in Newfoundland just called me and is wondering if I can find an item for one of his buddies. Please give...

    Tell me about the S&W 14-1!

    I like the model 14-1. You just need to remove the Smith and Wesson and replace with Dan Wesson. JMHO Sorry, had to do it.

    Hmm, I thought no ccw at Starbucks

    Many comments here give me pause for thought. Long story I will try to shorten up. Many years ago while driving on a rural road I see a guy and girl standing outside their car. They are obviously in a heated argument. I see him push / punch her in the upper chest shoulder area. I continue...

    Name This Cat

    I attended a field lecture once in Alaska. It was all about analyzing animal scat. The presentation had a catchy name, something like "Snooping in Poop. There is an awful lot of information that can be extracted from animal crap! In this case, I vote large Bobcat. I have seen them in Yosemite...

    Blasey-Ford, Kavanaugh accuser, Doubts, Connections, secrets, etc -Merged Thread

    I just hope that in the investigation they reveal some of Ford's history in regards to the years she was in school. Let the world know that she was bot an angel by any stretch of the imagination. I cannot believe that Kavanaugh was beat up on his personal drinking and his ability to remember...

    Blasey-Ford, Kavanaugh accuser, Doubts, Connections, secrets, etc -Merged Thread

    IMO if it is 100% true, considering all factors involved it carries no weight in the confirmation decision. Too long ago. Immature ages, way to many facts in regards to the alleged occurrence that are impossible to verify with 100% certainty. We have known since before he was even named that the...
