Welcome to the addictive forum and world of pistol shooting

First, welcome to the forum. Secondly, Storm Lake products are excellent. I have 3 of their aftermarket barrels for the M&P line. They are truly drop-in. As for your delemma, my suggestion would be to save your cash to purchase another gun rather than buying another barrel. If you 'really want' the M&P Pro, I would wait until funds from the tree begin to shake free again and continue to use the PT92. My 2¢

I have an unattached 2 car garage that I built. There is a temperature controlled office area where I load and keep everything stored.

Beautiful thread. One thing I might add... If you haven't asked every question or know every aspect of your parents' or spouse's life, please begin now. Take on the role of bibliographer. When my Dad was given a 3-6 month prognosis in December '08 I sat down and asked questions and received minute details of his life (growing up, schools, jobs, Navy, etc) I asked what was his biggest joy, his biggest loss/regret, best time in his life, worse time, etc. I used a digital tape recorder as well as writing everything down. He passed away on 1/1/09. My Mom was given the same 3-6 month span at the end of Sept '08. I repeated the process, although starting right after my father passed away. Mom died on 10/15/08. I now have a great understanding on how and why my parents did what they 'did' with parenting. More importantly I have their words in their own voice when I need to 'talk' to them. I started the same fact finding with my wife of 36 years, not so much for me but for our kids. The real crap part was the Docs saying 3-6 months. I could accept the 2 week outcome and would have made plans to stay there instead of traveling back and forth. Joel/Mike: Holidays are rough times. Thankfully I have 2 grandsons that enjoy me being a part of their lives. S

Yes, pretty much happens to all of us when we fail to use it...

Great job Spanky...a fine win, baby on the way, life is good!

Hopefully Eric will end up with an Italian or..heaven forbid a German maker.

Actually, clear plastic has a harder tensile strength than any with color pigment.

Agreed and maybe the same will happen with Gaston passing away. Glock could again lead the innovation in gun world. I handled the LCR and too found it a nice feel in the hand but also hoogly as my mother in law. After all the S&W revolvers in and around here, the LCR reminded me of a cap gun. There is a niche for it as sales have been brisk.

Now if a hat or cap would be flipped up from the table and landed on his head when he made the turn, that would be something to see. As it is, I can only give it a 10. Wowzer!

All of Nature is renovated by fire.

+1000 Yeah like broccolli and spinach

I have 2 Python safe queens. The cylinders do not rotate freely as mentioned in this thread. You could never do the gunslinger spin and close routine on the Colts (no, I don't and haven't). The triggers on the Pythons are smooth and crisp however with regular use the guns were prone to timing problems. After rebuilds by Colt, they sit and look pretty in the safe. My 686s and 625 have never given me any pause after thousands of rounds. The free slow movement of the Python's cylinder is just nature of the beast.

Merlin: Schlitz was the bomb back in the late 60's ... you should have tried Dixie made from the pristine waters from the banks of the Mississippi River in New Orleans. Always sold 12 oz cans, you bought it because it was cheaper, got 72 oz instead of 60 oz for Bud and once you got past the 1st six pack it all tasted the same. Golytely still takes the prize for foul. Which reminds me that I get the experience again in December.

Sean: There is and it isn't very expensive. You need a 'tuner' with the same connectors that your monitor has and if the monitor isn't equipped with speakers, some external speakers that may have come with your original computer. There are AVerMedia's TVBox 9 and Box 5. You can have a tv setup for approximately $100.

I'd start with a standard carbine buffer for about $19 and see if that solves your issue. If not I would go to a lighter (carbine) BCG.

They patterned the story Deliverance from Kentucky hollers and yurts.

Me too, but then 22's aren't old when you are my age. Getting the 22 to agree to go the range with me is the problem!

Happy B'Day Flex. Enjoy the next 10 because at 50 the doctors start putting things up in you that God never intended.

What ever you decide..just don't forget it!

Dan: Welcome to the forum, by far the best available by far. Give BE a call and he will guide you through the process. I have a SDB with a 45 setup and I thoroughly enjoy reloading with it.

The problem with the correlation is that beer tends to cause memory lapse and muscle control (especially how much and how many) where as the repetition and discipline of shooting strengthens memory and muscle response. God is great Beer is good People are krazy.

I would hate to have to keep that dog in shoes!
