  1. The video left out one chapter. The government's pay the poor and ignorant to breed programs make it possible for Julia to get knocked up by her sophmore year in high school and save the taxpayer all those silly education expenses.

  2. The price difference between the .40 and 9mm is in the range of 4 to 6 cents a round for the ammo I have been using. Over the long run that could be significant but for me that is only $3.00 a week extra and I really like the snap of the .40.

    I have no idea if a Glock would be right for you but my Glock 23 is one sweet pistol. And yes the mags for the bigger guns will fit in the smaller ones no problem.

  3. That's what usually happens. People get used to one type and find it hard to adapt to others. Happens a lot, kind of like cars.

    That could be correct a lot of the time, but in my case I have about 60 rounds total with my Glock and 100 rounds total divided up between my brothers's Colt 40 and Pokey's M&Pc 40. The rest of my pistol time is with my Ruger MKIII 22/45. The Glock comes up on target easier than any of those 3 pistols.

  4. ...and I will bet you shoot it better than that Glock.

    Took it to the range last week and initially I was dissappointed. It first appeared that I had hit the target only once in 50 rounds. On closer inspection it became obvious that all the rounds went through the same hole.

  5. I have a Gen 4 Glock 23 and I am new to pistol shooting but it feels like the most natural grip and angle of any of the guns I looked at prior to my purchase. My hand wraps around it like it is a custom build and the grip angle draws the pistol on target. I love my Glock.

    Now, stuffed in the case attached to one of the extra magazines was a little bottle of clear liquid labeled "Drink this before shooting". It tasted like peppermint and I now feel somewhat emotionally attached to my pistol.

  6. Congrats on the sweet ride bro, and yeah Steve is really gonna like his new to him toy!!!! I have always liked the Wranglers, maybe I will buy yours when you eventually get rid of it?:cool:

    ...And after $15,000 in accessories have been added.

  7. Even with young eyes, it is impossible to have the target and front and rear sites in focus at the same time. You should focus on the front site and both the target and the rear sight will be a little fuzzy. Once you get old enough to need reading glasses, even this will be difficult. The red dot site will fix this, but it is kind of cumbersome for a carry gun. Big white dots on the sites help. For target shooting, try some weak reading glasses. I usually shoot two-handed, but if you try one-handed you will usually find that you can see the sites better since they will be a bit farther away. Getting old sucks.

    Last night I practiced with some white paint on the front sight, then a little on the rear sights and it just comes out that I have 3 fuzzy white things on top of the pistol. Interestingly enough my new glock with the standard sights is much easier to get a sight alignment in the same conditions that render the Ruger's worthless.

    Guess these old eyes need a little help. Vance has a Truglo on sale and it looks like it will cost me $36 to see if this is the fix.

  8. I have problems seeing the sights on my Ruger MKIII 22/45. My eyes can't clearly focus on either the front or rear sight. In a high-contrast and well lit enviornment I can almost get a clear sight picture but most of the time it is my best guess as to where the sights are pointing. Went to the range on Sunday to fire my new G23 and shoot some zombies with my Ruger and the range was so dark that I couldn't even begin to use the sights.

    Is a red dot type sight an answer? Any ideas?

    When I can see them, the stock sights are dead-nuts on.

  9. Hey Craig,

    Just went through the purchase of my first dedicated carry pistol this week. I ended up with a Glock 23-4th Gen. I have a cheap 9mm that was given to me last year but the only handgun I had much experience with was my Ruger 22/45 in 22LR. I got to shoot an M&Pc in the .40 and I watched all the hillbillies on You Tube give their range reports on just about every pistol known to man, but the day I bought my glock I handled pistols from S&W, Glock, and Springfield and the Glock 23 felt the best in my hands.

    I spent more time choosing this pistol than I did my first wife. Hope this works out better.

    Now anyone got recomendations for a carry holster?

  10. I had some issues with my Ruger MIII 22/45 just after I purchased it last July. The loaded chamber indicator didn't work and it would drop mags out of the grip occasionally. I had watched some u-tube videos of the surgical procedure for cleaning it and I thought that the little nub behind the rear sight would take a beating if one was not extremely careful when cleaning it. Well it went back to the factory and when I got it back I got a note from the Ruger technician stating what he had replaced and that he gave it a good cleaning. Sure enough, the little nub took a beating. It is only cosmetic but still....

    As far as shooting performance I love this gun. It seems very well balanced and I find the trigger pull to be smooth and predictable. The sights are very accurate out of the box although my old eyes can't see them all that well. My previous pistol was the 45 I carried as a Navy Corpsman back in.....well the ships had just converted to steam.

    Two of my friends have shot it and were impressed enough that one has already purchased one and the other has it on his Christmas list.
