  1. You can get a loaded Springfield 1911 for around $750. I guess I'm a little bias towards Springifelds as thats what I've owned and carried. I'm a small guy, but I carried a full size Springfield TRP in a Milt Sparks VMII holster with no issues.
  2. Looks good. I wondering if the hole placements are the same for an SX3.
  3. Am I the only one that got light primer strikes using the JP yellow springs? Tried them awhile ago and about half a mag would be light strikes
  4. I actually prefer a regular old carbine buffer on mine. My rifle seems to nose dive more when I'm using an H3 buffer as the bolt closes. Using a 18'' rifle gas with SJC Titan on the end.

    Wasn't to thrilled about Ferrari's team orders to let Schumi "pass" Rubens a few years ago for the win. But aside from a few incidents, you can't ignore his brilliance and drive to win in his prime.
  6. To add to what Wideload said, The 5'' will have a little more heft to it as well. It'll help tame the muzzle rise a little bit.

    Yep, another 15 minute and they'll potentially be on the wrong side of a potential upset. I hear golf is pretty relaxing... ETA: Game 7..!!

    Montreal can wait (I'm still bitter about them beating the Kings for the cup in 93...) In the mean time, Boston better watch out...

    Glad to see Schumacher get a decent result, even though he was still a long way back. Looking forward to seeing more upgrade on the Merc so he can compete with the new young stars.

    No, my issue happened about a year ago. Still nice to see that they CS hasn't changed however.
  11. I - 78% S - 12% T - 50% P - 11% Interesting results. Everything is spot on for me from career to activities. "The nature of Crafters is most clearly seen in their masterful operation of tools, equipment, machines, and instruments of all kinds. Most us use tools in some capacity, of course, but Crafters (as much as ten percent of the population) are the true masters of tool work, with an innate ability to command tools and to become expert at all the crafts requiring tool skills. Even from an early age they are drawn to tools as if to a magnet -- tools fall into their hands demanding use, and they must work with them." My actual job is a jet mechanic on B-52's, prior to that was on F-15's. Needless to say I have to manipulate a wide variety of hand tools everyday. "Like all the Artisans, Crafters are people who love action, and who know instinctively that their activities are more enjoyable, and more effective, if done impulsively, spontaneously, subject to no schedules or standards but their own. In a sense, Crafters do not work with their tools, but play with them when the urge strikes them. Crafters also seek fun and games on impulse, looking for any opportunity, and just because they feel like it, to play with their various toys: cars, motorcycles, boats, dune-buggies, hunting rifles, fishing tackle, scuba gear, and on and on. They thrive on excitement, particularly the rush of speed-racing, water-skiing, surfing. And Crafters are fearless in their play, exposing themselves to danger again and again, even despite frequent injury. Of all the types, Crafters are most likely to be risk takers, pitting themselves, or their technique, against chance or odds." I love crotch rockets, doing wheelies, drag knee at the race track. Dirt bikes are a blast. My first car was a twin turboed 350z (hence my username), so I love speed. Pulled 8.5g's in a F-15 and never puked or blacked out. Firearms are a given or I wouldn't be here. I love sports and jsut staying active in general. You only live once, might as well as enjoy it. "Crafters are hard to get to know. Perhaps this is because they tend to communicate through action, and show little interest in developing language skills. Their lack of expressiveness can isolate them at school and on the job, and even though they hang around with their own kind in play, they let their actions speak for them, and their actual conversation is sparse and brief." I love having my own time, just to get away from everybody else and there drama. I'm quiet, reserved and keep things to myself. I don't have a problem spending a weekend at home alone. But when it comes time to play, well it speaks for itself. "Crafters can be wonderfully generous and loyal to their friends, teammates, and sidekicks, often giving up their evenings or weekends to help with building projects or mechanical repairs-house remodeling, for example, or working on cars or boats. On the other hand, they can be fiercely insubordinate to those in authority, seeing rules and regulations as unnecessarily confining. Crafters will not usually go against regulations openly, but will simply ignore them. More than anything, Crafters want to be free to do their own thing, and they are proud of their ability to do it with an artist's skill. " I agree 100%
  12. I can relate to that "If you hear Eject, Eject, Eject, just pull the handle. But you probably wont pull it because I would've pulled it already." Capt. Townsend, USAF Eagle driver before my flight

    My personal favorite teams the Kings were eliminated and Lightnings didn't even make it.... So I guess I gotta root for my hometown team. Go SHARKS

    +1 My illumination was intermittent on my scope. I contacted them and told me to send it in. They were unable to replicate my problem, but sent me a brand new scope regardless. I had to wait about 2 weeks though because they didn't have any k-dots on hand at the time.
  15. You'll have a great time. Definitely bring a camera and take pictures. Not sure if your into fishing, but if you go around June, the salmon should be doing their runs and of course there's always the halibut charter. Seward was awesome, you can do a 7 mile hike to the top of one of the glacier which I did. There's a restaurant there that has an amazing blackberry cobbler, can't remember the name but it's white 2 story building.
  16. Great shot! Now you need to get a 1D Mk3 shooting at 10 fps. Even better chances to catch those moments
  17. A lightbox will help diffuse the light and keep it smooth. You can build one at home for relatively cheap These pics were taken with a direct light source, not diffused.
  18. This is definitely a gun I'd use for carrying in the woods and for shooting games and the price is right. Hopefully those 5'' start showing up soon.
  19. I like the 1911/2011 platform because: Ergonomics Trigger Low bore height Accuracy Parts/Smith's are readily available Sexiest looking pistol Dislikes: Price, but you gotta pay to play I did get this Brazo tuned Edge package (minus belt and timer) below + 2 more mags for $2k
  20. 1911/2011's are much more comfortable to me. STI edge for me. YMMV
  21. You could just buy my brazo tuned edge and call it a day... IMO the executive, legend, ipsc and uspsa are just prettier version with a different trigger system than the edge. The Apeiro appears to be the only one with a real difference with the "island" barrel aka sight tracker.
  22. The Timney is a drop in. I went that route because I didn't want to fiddle with anything and they lock down on the pins preventing them from walking/rotating. I've had no issues with it doubling or light primer strikes. Breaks like glass and super short reset and the price is right. I can't comment on the JP as I've never shot one. It's leap and bounds better than the RRA 2 stage.
  23. MOE for me. I use MIAD's int he same configuration. Might as well as save some cash.
  24. Have the uplula and striplula. reloads both pistol and AR mags so much easier and quicker
