  2. Put the first 250 down range in my new Kimber Custom II, using Federal brass, 230 gr. Smooth as silk. Not one FTF/FTE using the factory 7 round mag with the metal feed lips and two Wilson Elite 8 round mags. Gotta love a 4 lb. trigger from the factory. All right boys and girls, my .38 special observations: - The contestants: S&W 642 and a Ruger LCR Crimson Trace. - 50 rounds of PMC 140 grain FMJ through each gun, alternating guns every 10 rounds. - I am by no means an expert marksman nor a gun guru, but feel I can give you an honest opinion. - Recoil: I wish the Ruger had been the standard model with the Hogue Tamer grips, as the felt recoil with the LCR was more than the Smith, and I think that the CTC grips had a lot to do with that. Not a whole lot more, but noticeable. Both guns had a fair amount of recoil; after 100 rounds my palms were not happy. - Trigger: I honestly could not tell any difference at all. I'm guessing both guns had at least 1,000 rounds through them, so they're broken in by now. Both triggers were, for a sub $400 snubbie, pretty decent. Neither had any annoying transition going from cocked to firing. Both very acceptable. - Shooting results: The Ruger (and me, I guess) shot much better at 15 and 25 feet. I would have expected, given the Ruger's more pronounced recoil, that the Smith would have had the tighter groups, but it didn't. At 25 feet it 5" vs. 3", on average. No shots were outside of the 8" circle at 25 feet, so both guns were hitting center mass, and thus stopping any threat that would have been there. Double, triple, and 5-taps all stayed center mass. - Price: At Vance's: The Smith is on sale for $349 with a $50 mail-in rebate (making it $299) until 12/31, the LCR is $470. At Bud's, $400 for the LCR, $420 for the 642 ($50 rebate applies through 12/31. Woodbury has the LCR in 357 Magnum for $420 - Conclusion: Both guns shot very well, were able to hit what they were aimed at, and had smooth triggers. If the Ruger had had the standard Hogue grips, my guess is that the recoil would have been the same. Neither gun is one you'd want to shoot multiple hundreds of rounds through at the range, but that's not these gun's raison d'etre.** The Ruger shot better groups, but both guns were accurate enough for self defense, either as a primary carry weapon or as a bug. What am I going to do? I'm calling Woodbury in the morning and getting the LCR 357 version. ** "raison d'etre" is a little French lingo that means "reason for existence"...

  3. I was about 10 minutes from being done with my workout this morning (P90) and all of a sudden my electric goes out. No biggie. I know the routine pretty well. I finished P90 on my own. I called AEP to report it. She said "yeah, we're doing maintenance on your road replacing poles". I look out the window and sure enough, trucks are down there working. 1. Why in the fuck are you cutting electric to houses IN THE MIDDLE OF FUCKING WINTER?!?!?! It was 25 mother fucking degrees this morning when they cut power. 2. Why was I not notified that this was going to happen? If I would have been notified, I could have worked around it. But, noooooo. She didn't have an answer for me. All she said was that they are not required to notify customers. I said, "Well then it's bullshit that you are not required to notify us if you are going to cut power, but I'm required to pay the fucking bill". Then I hung up. I was pissed and had to get ready for work. But, there it was, 9:30 in the morning. I had to be at work at 10am. I just finished up my workout. I needed a shower. I have well water. The inside temp is dropping quickly. Ready. Set. Go! That was the quickest fucking shower I have ever taken, washing vitals only. Water was trickling out of the shower head as I was trying to rinse off. Even though that was a quick shower, how did I end up being late for work? Oh, because my garage door wouldn't go up when I pushed the fucking button!!! I had to use the pull cord to release the door, raise it by hand, back the truck out, put the door back down, fight with the pull cord to lock back in place, go all the way through the house, out the front door, and walk all the way back around to my truck. So, is there any recourse here? Is there someone at AEP that I can talk to about this shit? The lady's attitude this morning was a "That sucks" attitude. She didn't care. I should get a discount off my next bill or something to make up for what I had to go through today. Any ideas here?

  4. I love LOUD pipes, but only when they're loud at high rpms. Pipes that idle really loud like lots of Harleys do are the annoying ones in my opinion. If it's going to be LOUD, the rider better be making that bike SCREAM down the road. I love hearing a pipe screaming through the whole rpm range out in the distance. It's sex to my ears.

  5. From the looks of him and the actions leading up to the shooting, I'd say "Involuntary stupidity" or "Reckless unintelligence"

  11. Behold, a handy Venn diagram to help you determine who can fondle your junk without a call to the police required. Feel free to print out and stick in your wallet for future reference. Of course If the only three types of people allowed to touch your junk are prostitues, doctors and TSA agents you have a very unfulfilling life.
