That's already in the plan. Gonna be a lot of ditching but I think it will work out pretty good.

460 4bbl?

Are you sure?

ROFL! True. True.

CGW is a distributor for CZ parts. He knows exactly what I have and assures me that while they are not common he can get the proper 9mm replacement barrel and mags in a few days time. Also discussed the trigger and he advised that it can be improved on with the stock parts but he also has more or less drop-in parts that make it better. I'm keen to learn a new system so this may be the first. I've also been considering a Glock Armorers course as there are some ideas I have down that path. In any event, I enjoy learning new things and they often spawn ideas for improvement. So this will only make me better.

Ok. Traded my Kimber Custom TLE II for the TS .40 with $400 boot. Been in contact with Cajun Gunworks about a new 9mm barrel recoil spring, steel guide and mags as well as some trigger tuning options. (trigger on this feels like a marshmallow) So, diving into deep water in a whole new pond, but still in love with my 1911s.

This is gonna take some getting used to......

When you realize that medical condition known as "trigger finger" is NOT a good thing to have on your actual trigger finger.

Another variant of El Presidente. I run it a lot in practice with many different variations. Good practice for target transitions and mag changes.

I do both. I plan out a course of fire on the basement wall with target pasters and set an order. Then I run through it slowly practicing the eye movement in the target transition and bringing the gun to my line of sight. Then I go through it again a little faster. Then again, faster. And I keep speeding up 'til I cannot call accurate shots and I go back to square one. Three cycles through it and change the course and do the the same thing. Using different color pasters you can also mark moving to a different position, mag changes and other elements you will run into at a match. But the focus, for me, in dry firing is still the basic fundamentals. Stance, grip, trigger control, sights. I want to transition between targets with my eyes locking the center of the target first and when the sights arrive in my line of vision they are already aligned with no need to adjust or "look" the sights onto the target. If you have the fundamentals down this will be automatic whether transitioning from target to target or moving from position to position, mag changes or any other situation. Any time my pistol enters my line of sight to the target I want the sights aligned properly on the center of the target when it gets there. If I find I am having to adjust when the sights come into my line of sight then there is a problem with my grip and I need to identify it and correct it before I go any further.

Were the sights on target when I squeezed? Do I have proper trigger control? If the answer to either of those is "no", I don't squeeze the shot off. If the answer is "yes" then I already know what I need to without seeing the sights lift. If the answer is "no" and you are squeezing the shot off anyway, then you need to go back and work on your fundamentals and discipline. If the the sights were properly aligned on the center of the target when I squeezed the trigger, I KNOW where that shot went. WHat is the sight lifting going to tell me that I don't already know? Calling the shot AFTER the bullet has left the barrel is damn near useless. Know where it is going to go BEFORE you send it. THAT is calling your shots. Everything else is just guessing.

I disagree. Take her out for a nice dinner at an expensive restaurant to console her for the trauma of getting a ticket. While at dinner tell her how terrible you feel about her getting a ticket, especially when she went so far to warn you about getting one. Then drive her home going 5 mph under the speed limit. If she has any conscience at all she will be overcome with guilt any time she even thinks about telling you to slow down.

Start with a soft taco, coat it with bean dip and wrap it around your crunchy taco. Or start with raw corn tortillas and fry them in a skillet with just a little oil.. They should turn out crispy but hold together. Or start from scratch with masa harina and water. Start with equal parts and a pinch or two of salt and mix til you have a stiff dough. Add a couple tablespoons of bacon grease for flavor. (Optional) break off and roll small balls of dough (about 2") and roll them flat. Fry in a skillet til crispy. For taco seasoning mix, start with a small can of tomato paste or an 8 oz. can of V8. add minced onion, pressed garlic and smoked Hungarian paprika. Then add your favorite spices and chilis for heat.

When you re-holster your pistol and the combination of the weight and the push getting it into the holster cause your belt to slip below your spare tire and the whole rig falls to the ground taking your pants with it. ?

When you fire your last round and do the Elmer Fudd, "Aaawww.... No more Buwwets." And no one gets it. ?

Your series 80 slide has a plunger on the bottom side this is the firing pin block. With the slide off the frame, use a punch to push the plunger up into the slide while simultaneously pushing the firing pin in to release the firing pin stop. (It is helpful to put the slide upside down in a vice) Once you have the firing pin stop removed, push the plunger again to allow the firing pin to pop out the back of the slide. Be careful to keep the plunger captive as it is is under spring tension and will disappear to the same hole in space new socks go. Reassemble in opposite order.

Buy a quality pistol. You get what you pay for.

Grats to both of you. That's something to be proud of. And grats to the newspaper for not forcing you to defend it. ?

We go to school (class) to learn. Not because we already know it all.

Ime grate at englesh, butt I kant tipe sew I jus rite on the scren wif kraonz.

If pigs could fly, you'd be a 747.

When you order a newfangled Ghost holster and when it arrives you rush to the garage with it thinking it's the transmission part that was on back order.

I will never forget that day as long as I live. I will never forget the people who did this. I will never forget that our country is NOT immune to terrorists.

When the sound of the bullet hitting the last popper reminds you that you promised the better half you'd take her to Philly this weekend. Ooops.?
