  1. Give a man some search results, feed him topics for a day... Teach a man how to use the search tool, feed him topics forever.

    Why do a search when someone else can do it for you? Especially when all it costs are some smart-alick comments which are easy enough to ignore. What's even better is that once you get the links someone is even nice enough to lock the thread for you.

  2. It is not important that someone goes away or how long they stayed. It is inevitable that this will happen and you never know when. The important thing is how we spent the time together between meeting and parting.

    Who would argue that years together disconnected is better than a month, a week, or even a single day shared in complete sincerity? In relationships proximity and duration are not proportional to quality.

    It is good to be mindful of this because in real life there are no re-shoots and there is such a thing as too late.

  3. I take it you are new to riding.  It is a blast.  Enjoy.  And always watch out for that sleeping driver turning left in front of you.... :unsure:

    Thanks Akidale. I'm going to try to treat riding like shooting. Safety first.

    If you wanna get hooked ...

    I already am. :) The little Kawasaki 250R is going to have to do it for me for awhile. All my money is being sucked up by my shooting addiction right now.

  4. Short Round, what was Johnny's lead times to build these guns?

    I ordered the Limited gun about this time last year and it took about 5 months. Then a few months ago a little bit after the shot show Johnny says he is about to get a big order that's going to tie him up for long time and if I wanted an open gun now was the time or I would really have to wait. So I sent him a frame I had and 3 weeks later I have an open gun.

    Someone just told me that his lead times now are over a year!

    That would not surprise me. You might want to call him though. The numbers on the website still work.

  5. I'm standing in line waiting to order my 3 for $3.33 which is basically cholesterol with chili and cheese, chronic angina with chili and cheese, and heart attack with chili and cheese when this guy in front of me is asking the guy behind the counter repeatedly if they still have the veggie dog. :huh:

    I ask him "are you sure they ever had that?" and the guy in front of me swears they had a sign up advertising it. Whatever :rolleyes: I'm thinking he's just suffering from meat depravation and hallucinating.

    WTF!? Does this happen anywhere else?

    Looks like I need to welcome myself to California again.

  6. So ... I've been shooting open for the last couple of months since I'm finding it really hard to put the DragonCat down. The thing is I need to stow the dot away since GSSF is coming up and I need to bust out with the iron sights. So I shoot about 300 rounds through my G23 at practice tonight and then pull out the Limited gun.

    OOHHH ... :wub:

    I forgot how much fun that gun is.

  7. Absolutely does not matter what order I go in.

    This reminds me of a line I heard while watching the Replacements (Keeanu Reeves, Gene Hackman) the other night on network television. "When the game is on the line a winner always wants the ball."

  8. I noticed I would bring my support hand all the way over to my stomach area just in front of my holster and just above belt level.

    One last thought, what type of holster are you using? Are you bringing your weak hand over that far to stabilize the holster before you draw the gun?

  9. I noticed I would bring my support hand all the way over to my stomach area just in front of my holster and just above belt level.

    Where your weak hand "slaps" when your strong hand is gripping your gun I think is a matter of preference. Some people slap their belly, others closer to the sterum. I think the most important part is that when the strong hand brings the gun to the point of where both hands meet, the weak hand really needs to be there.

    There is some extra movement of the weak hand the way you describe it though. Your weak hand crosses your centerline then has to come back to it when you are presenting the gun.

  10. John, your hands should meet right where they would naturally meet if you weren't drawing a pistol.

    Try working backwards. Hold the gun up in full presentation then bring it back in the reverse action of your draw, like you are re-holstering. Where your weak hand comes off the gun is probably where you want your weak hand to come on the gun.
