Nice job OG, that's a good looking pistol.

[new year surprise]

I have two sons and two daughters. After a divorce they all fared well and went on to collage. My oldest son has a girlfriend with a child and works as a machinist. My oldest daughter finished school and is working as a rad tech. My second son is becoming a doctor, and my youngest daughter is working on her nursing degree.

My second son was going back to medical school today and stopped by the house. Big news today, my son has a boyfriend. He has struggled with depression and alcohol until this point,I hope.

I'm proud of all my children. Although this is not how I would have things turn out, I'm happy. If he can find happiness and be content, I will sleep easier. I feel so proud of my son for the amount of courage it must have taken to talk to his red neck father. I will make every effort to make him and his new friend feel welcomed in our family.

Sorry if this was a boring post, I just had to tell someone.

You do not have to use your slot. I'm sure it's not worth your time or trouble. Send it to me and I will use it for you.

Now I have to go down to the man cave and check out the calender. I didn't think about these problems, but now I must take a second look

Welcome to the forums Eric.

[Anyone get any Shooting related stuff for Christmas?]

3-.45 Kimpro mags (asked for Tripp)and a KWA 1911 airsoft. Last month she bought me a digital prochono. She didn't know I would need BBs and gas and wondered why the didn't ask her if she wanted some. Oh well gas and BBs ordered.

Looks like a good birthday present Steve, wish I could get one of those.

[Most avalable pistol caliber poll]

I voted 9mm for center fire ammo, but agree that more people probably buy more .22 ammo. I don't know why, but it bothers me when stores ask if the .22 ammo I'm buying is for a rifle or pistol.

[Pepper spray for dogs?]

I would look for pepper spray that has a cone spray pattern. It seems that most sprays now come in stream or foam, but I still prefer the cone pattern. I have never used the foam on a dog, but have been issued the stream form for a few years. The stream takes more aim, I really liked the cone pattern when used against people or dogs in a hurry.

[SDB or 550]

I've had a SDB for a long time and have always enjoyed using it. I load .45ACP for my pistols and 9mm for my carbine on it. I use a single stage press for rifle for now. If I ever start three gun, I may try a 550 or 650. For now most of my rifle reloading is done in the winter when I can't get outside.

[Motorized Case Trimmers?]

I use and like the Possum Hollow trimmer very much, after trimming I just dump them into the tumbler for an hour or so and I have no problems with the necks later.

Does it cut the necks square? I've been looking at these too, because I have a bada$$ Dewalt drill. Also wondering about using it in a drill press.

Square enough for me, my 223 will easily hold under MOA out to 300 yards using it. I just bought an el cheapo drill press and leave it chucked up in there all the time.

It works well for me also. I bought the Possum Hollow trimmer and a cheap drill press. I think I spend around $70 for cheapo press, but I have been able to trim thousands of cases on it.

[Del-Ton rifle kits]

Aim Surplus has stripped lowers for $60. At times they have Spike's lowers for $80 with free shipping.
