  1. Thi sthread started back in January but it's the first time I read the title as spare PANTS. Well, sure. Bring extra socks, too.

  3. Personally, I'm waiting for the p09 to hit before I start jumping into them.

    The P09 has landed just have to find one :)

    I would also like to have a P01 with a manual safety but wasn't an option until a few months ago.

    Really? I thought they were still a month out for the 9mm models.

    There have been some P-09s out there. Matt Mink has one listed on Gun Broker at http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=348126016.

    I followed an old link to that Gun Broker auction and it redirected twice to new auctions so I guess no one has been snapping that gun up.

  4. There was either an email posting or a Facebook posting about this. I think it looks pretty neat.

    Base on award winning CZ P01 9mm, this is a new product to the USA.

  5. Recently read include:

    - Joe Ledger: the lost files by Jonathan Maberry. Shoot'em short stories featuring Maberry's character, Joe Ledger, fighting zombies, terrorists, and an international assassin.
    - Ghosts of Belfast by Neville Stuart. Former IRA soldier is haunted by the 12 people he killed during the Troubles. IRA guy starts killing other IRA guys to make the ghosts go away. I skipped this when it came out in 2009 because the ghost stuff sounded stupid, it wasn't.
    - Plugged by Eoin Colfer. Fun novel with a former Irish Army soldier now working as a doorman in a low-rent casino in New Jersey. Trouble and laughs ensues.
    - Last Kind Words by Tom Piccirilli. More crime drama by Piccirilli.
    - The Consummata by Mickey Spillane and Max Allan Collins. Great stuff. Late 1960s with thief Morgan the Raider on the run in Miami from the CIA when he decides to help an anti-Castro group recover several thousand dollars stolen by a Cuban agent.

  6. I was impressed with TACTICAL PISTOL SHOOTING by Erik D. Lawrence. The book is on it's 2nd or 3rd edition. The book focuses on combat shooting and has better illustrations and drills and description than the other gun books I have read.

    DEFENSIVE HANDGUNNING: A TREATISE ON HANDGUN CARRY AND USE by Glenn Rehberg is a good guide for carrying and defensive shooting. DEFENSIVE is well written.
