  1. I have recently purchased a Strike One 9mm and am very pleasantly surprised. It is possibly the best out of the box polymer/striker fired pistol I have ever shot. It is very accurate and feel great in the hands. The cons I have are the uptake on the trigger quite large but the trigger break is quite nice. The factory sights are quit obnoxious and hope that some aftermarket F/O may appear in the future. It is a big and heavy gun but I do not mind that (certainly would not be a carry pistol) and the build quality of quite good. I have put about 300 rounds through it trying to break it in. I plan on trying it at a steel challenge match and will give an update. I do plan on getting another one in 40SW when they arrive in the states

  2. My wife was riding and competing since before she could ride a bike so when we met in our thirties and married in our early forties I had a good idea what I was in for. We built our house on forty acres and the horses moved with us. Spent $75,000 on the barn and $15,000 on the arena and fencing and at last count we have 14 saddles and countless other pieces of horse related equipment. But we have been able to teach our nieces and nephews how to ride and the responsibilities that go along with keeping a living thing happy and healthy. And a big plus for parents is that if their girls get deeply involved in riding and competition they tend to get past all that teenage boy crazy stuff. Yes I would do it all over again even if it means giving up vacations and keeping my cars for ten years. And my wife encourages me spend what we have left in our budget on guns and shooting.

    I can relate to this in so many ways!!

  3. I am curious what industries/trades folks here in the forum work in. I work for an engineering firm that is based out of Pittsburg. I have been a welder steel fabricator since I was a younger version of myself and moved out of the field into the QA side of things. I have worked as an Engineer/Inspector in many environments having Bridge, Nuclear, and Maritime certifications. My greatest experiences was working as an inspector for the Navy on Ships and Submarines. We were sent all around the world. Now I work from a home office and manage inspectors for the SE. Not as exciting as it used to be..
