I stay at the same hotel every week Monday through Friday and almost always the same room. This is a quiet suburbian motel with some highway traffic but mostly a working customer, such as electricians and roofers in town for a contract. Every Monday when I check in, I notice the clock is not how or where I left it the previous Friday. Usually it is something very noticable such as unplugged or on the floor but frequently, the alarm will be set to something weird like 5:05pm and the alarm will be going off. Of course this also happens with the coffee maker. I have found it under the bed twice in the past few months. I am pretty sure it is the maid service being weird. SS

I think I bought mine used almost a year ago and have yet to set it up. I have to this point been able to borrow time on someone else's to do what I need so far. I really need to shoot it just to get it over with. SS

A three legged dog walked into a bar carrying a six-gun. He walked up to the bartender and said, "I'm looking for the man that shot my paw". SS

Could be that he started young? :-D SS

Do you have images with perspective that we might see to what you might be referring? SS

I lucked into a couple 1# cans of Clays last weekend but paid $28/per. Any pistol powder has been an infrequent find but I see rifle powder more frequently recently than it has been. Primers are running $38 - $40/1k here also but seem to be more readily available than they were just weeks ago. SS

I got my speedcrosses at Shoes.com on sale. Looks like they are having a sale on the womens version of these now. http://www.shoes.com/en-US/_/_/_/_/Srch0+SpeedCross/Products.aspx?icid=entiresitesearch SS

Shot poorly at a local match at a range tonight and to make myself feel better I went out to their shop and wandered around looking for something I could not do without. I noticed they had quite a selection of primers on their shelfs and while I have scrounged some primers, I have had a tough time finding pisol powder. I off-hand asked if they had anything in pisol powder as none was apparent. The owner asked me what I was looking for and I told him, almost anything that will fit in a 40 or 45. As you guys know, powder is hard enough to find, I am willing to try anything that will fit in a case. He indicated he had some that had just came in and asked me what I wanted again. I told him that I would take anything from Bullseye on up. He snickered and sent his help downstairs to bring up a brand new case of Clay's 1# jugs. I am still emotionally dancing a jig, hell, I can shoot another match next week but finding powder.. WOOOT!! SS

I had a friend load a mag full of 40 into my 45 1911, target was at about 15 feet. When he pulled the slide to the rear, most of the rounds shot out the breech and landed about half way to the target. SS

Hello and welcome to the forum. SS

Woot. No more root version error either. :-) Mobile comment!!!

SO wrong. I LOL'd

:-D Lead poisoning. SS

Member since 04/11, first match and every match for the first few years was with a Kimber CDP Pro. Just picked up a G35 to put a change in my game. I have changed holsters, mag pouches and played with the ballistics of my reloading more than anything and have a stack of holsters I have used but I always seem to come back to my carry rig, a Don Hume OWB. SS

I would love this. It would give more choices of when I could shoot without the impact to work and family time that currently exists. Of course, this is not germain to the topic for which I am too new to have a reasoned opinion.

The response taken to letters written by the NAACP and the Human Rights Campaign. the LGBT does not have this kind of clout (yet). Not a rebuttal

When told to be quiet - Oh hell no. If I believe I understand the requirements, and what is being delivered does not meet those requirements, either explain to me what I am misunderstanding or I am going to push until ether someone reacts, the requirements change or explains to me what I am missing. I have faced similar issues several times and the few times I remember not pursuing the issue, it has in some manner come back to bite ME. SS

Difficult to beat Billings for cold I had a friend ask me to move to North Dakota earlier this year for a job. I was just thinking of him freezing his x^$&$^ off up there. I should probably call to see if he's stuck to a flagpole somewhere. SS

I load 200g FP plated xtremes in my 4" and like them. SS

I believe this hits the nail dead center. I am not the most experienced of shooters so take this with all the salt required, I believe they are attempting to keep IDPA from turning into an equipment race. SS

I have to dig up a copy every year to annoy the family with on Thanksgiving. Some traditions should be forever.

I use CCI No. 300 almost exclusively for my 45 behind bullseye and 200gr JSWC ss
