Don't worry, the moron security guards will protect you

Thanks Mike. I've bobbed the hammer in my beloved 1960's J Frame (M37), but never a MIM. I'm sure my bobbed hammers don't look like yours! Mine are garage-engineered

Any special considerations for bobbing a MIM hammer? Thx.

Nik - file a little more of the stop off and you're good to go. You had the reset too close to the "edge." I personally, but what you like is what's important to you. For $25 or so, it's worth a try.

Great stuff Stuart. You should be very proud. Cy

Great, cheap Spyderco - the Tenacious

JM - what springs do you use with your can?

Well done Sig Lady!!!

Calling Dale . . .

My initial thought is that stuck a pistol in his mouth, but I guess he didn't need to cut off his ankle monitor for that.

How so? How did that happen? What new career? How do you know about this? Duane - she was qualified as an expert witness and they always give their work/career history on the stand. She now works for an insurance company. Don't know why she left that position. She only stated that she wanted to move on to other things.

I'm still processing the lessons of this experience - there are many. I have a nagging, profound sadness for all involved. Here are some that I can see now: 1. Quoting myself: "The woman who performed the initial forensic interview of the kids was VERY biased. In contravention to appropriate conduct, she used very leading and suggestive questions to get the kids to say something incriminating." That situation could lead some innocent people to be indicted. That is scary and I'm glad that woman has moved on to another career. 2. Again quoting myself: "I was very impressed with everyone on the jury. All were good people that took their job very seriously and understood the potential affect of our job on the family, kids and the defendant." That was uplifting and restored a certain amount of faith in my fellow man and our system of justice. 3. Again quoting myself: "Strange, but I have no doubt in my mind that the defendant loves his kids. He is a man with demons who let them out of the dark parts of his soul." This experience would be easier if the defendant the incarnation of evil. He had not seen his kids for two years before they testified in court and he was moved at their presence. He loves them. People are complex and flawed. The potential for love and equally for vileness is within many people. We are the products of the totality of our choices in life. Protect and guard your (my) thoughts. Sometimes the further away you get from the things you care about - the less you care about how much further away you get . . . 4. Perspective. If I/you think we have challenges and problems, they are likely dwarfed by these issues. We've already hit the lottery . . .

AAC makes good cans, but I'd rather just pay for one

I'm not sure if this really belongs in the "What I Like Forum," but . . . On 23 February 2009 (my birthday), I reported for jury duty pursuant to my jury duty notice. I’m a self-employed business attorney (I never go to court or litigate) and don’t get paid if I don’t work. Attorneys never get picked for juries, so I was irritated at losing a day’s work for no reason. Sitting with 45 others in a large room, the court personnel informed us that the case was a felony child molestation case. The thought made me very uneasy. After two days of jury selection and questioning, I was ready to get back to my business. My jaw dropped when the clerk announced my name as a jury member. For the first day and a half of trial, I did not see how the State could prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. The woman who performed the initial forensic interview of the kids was VERY biased. In contravention to appropriate conduct, she used very leading and suggestive questions to get the kids to say something incriminating. The defendant was not a typical scumbag and seemed to honestly love his kids. He was married to the mother for eight years and had joint custody for years after the divorce. The tide turned after lunch of the second day. The kids testified. Their therapist (who did not seemed biased like the forensic interviewer) testified at length. Their reports were consistent over a several year period and I came to see the damage done. There was no evidence to counter the accounts. The defendant did not appear in court for the last day of trail. The judge later told us that he was out on bail and LE found his ankle monitor cut off and him missing. The judge allowed us to consider his non-appearance as circumstantial evidence. I live in a conservative county north of Atlanta. Maybe it’s not representative of all of America, but I was very impressed with everyone on the jury. All were good people that took their job very seriously and understood the potential affect of our job on the family, kids and the defendant. After hours of deliberation, review of the evidence and discussion, we returned a guilty verdict on all counts. Strange, but I have no doubt in my mind that the defendant loves his kids. He is a man with demons who let them out of the dark parts of his soul. Once released, those demons and his deeds will haunt him forever. I pray for the kids and for the soul of the defendant. He’s not been found as of today.

Was the original a good pistol?

I Mark better now

Wow - great stuff.

Gary - their parents didn't do their job.

Bushnell now has a wanna-be Aimpoint Micro Bushnell Micro Anyone try one?

Agreed, but I think it's pretty funny and shows something many of the Holywierd a-holes can't fake

The guy had a set of bowling balls. RIP

a 9mm with Corbon DPX is nothing to sneeze at . . . and low recoil too

+1. After the strike, they can all get real jobs as far as I'm concerned.

In addition to Patrick, I enjoy our own Duane Thomas' articles too. Other than that - don't care.
