Yeah, I have long fingers and can not shoot a single-stack gun very well because my trigger finger touches the magazine release as the trigger breaks. I use the first joint...I can not use the pad with any form of consistency. I am not an expert though the joint just feels natural and the pad feels wrong. I am sure that I have to work on that.

Perfect! Thank you! Even perfect-er! Thank you, thank you!

ok...no laughing, but when you are talking about "splits" what the heck are you talking about?

Hi everyone. I am looking to pick up a nice chrony and it was suggested to me that I get the Pact MK IV Championship Timer with the chrony module. Is this the one for me or should I look for a dedicated chronograph sans the timer? Does this have everything I need or will I be disappointed? Thanks.

So, something does pop up and scare you? I never click those things anymore.

Aww...is this another one of those things that flash to a scary thing and give you palpatations?

This is an oak desk from an old school that got torn down. It's quite sturdy and it has plenty of drawers to keep all my powder and components. Seems kinda backwoods compared to some of you guys.

At our last church picnic last year everyone that had guns brought them. We made too much noise and one of the church members unofficially banned guns at the church functions. She's not in charge of anything so I think we'll bring them next time anyway.

Yah-hoo! Sorry if your blood pressure went up on that post before your last!

I believe in the beginning of Matt's book it told me to decide what I was willing to give up to be the best...I did that. Church was not on the list. As long as a match is not on Wednesday night or Sunday then I'm in. Hey, I'll even go as far as to say I'd bolt after 12 noon from Sunday church to hit the range as long as I can be back by 6:15pm to prepare for the night service.

Nah, I got a job to do at church and I actually am the only one that can do it. I wouldn't want to miss church even if I didn't have to run the sound system. I guess I'll have to pass on the competition thing. I'd still like to hang around here though.

I was thinking of getting one eye done at a time and getting a disposable contact lens for the other until I decide the results. I really hate contact lenses though.

Bah! SIG_Lady should leave the name alone...it made me feel comfortable to reply to her post. I shoulda signed up as SIG_Dood but I am mark123 on all the other boards, so... I'm still looking for the "perfect" 1911...seems they don't make on of them either though.

I wonder if Canada has the latest technology because they do not go through all the "red tape" from the FDA or whomever handles such things. I may email you about some questions if you don't mind...and I appreciate it very much! I appreciate everyones replies :) Thanks!

Thanks guys! The friend I was talking about went to a doctor in Canada. For some reason it was highly recommended that he go there for the procedure. I am going to have to ask him why. He paid $450 per eye and has had zero complications (not even the halo effect that some have told me about...looking at lights at night you can see a halo around the light). I really want to have the procedure but I do not want to risk my eye sight. I just really hate not being able to see when I wake up at night...I really hate when I put my glasses in a different place and I can't see them.

Church on Sunday.

Sorry, that was off topic. I started another thread with the same question in the proper forum. Click here

A friend had it done and really loves it. I am considering it but would like some input from my shooting buddies. Anyone ever have it? Would you recommend it? Any drawbacks? Thanks!!! :D

SWEET! Cut it out...I wanna get my eyes fixed before I buy another gun. Anyone out there have Lasik surgery?

Thanks V! I look forward to it. I just went back to work (I'm a landscaper and get the cold months off) so I may be booked up for a whole lot of Saturdays but after July 4th I can request a personal day. We'll work something out.

Hey I have an idea! Since the courses are "graded on a curve" against the worlds best shooters I need to keep bothering the worlds best shooters with my newbie questions so they have less time to practice...it would make it easier on us all. OK, that was dumb.

If it is not designed to press the slide release to close the slide they why do they put that little tab for your thumb to press on it then?

Thanks!!! Sometimes a man needs a few gross oversimplifications!

Ha ha ha! I read it and I still don't know what it means.
