  6. Anyone else have one of these as a kid?

    Lol had one of those and most of the other stuff mentioned. Nothing was better than my Lego's though

    I loved my legos. I gave them to my daughter and sometimes still get down on the floor and play with them, with her of course. :D

    Most of the toys were made of metal or wood. There wasn't much plastic around...

    This is what Tom played with as a kid. :p

  8. I love my Droid X BUT....

    I called them about my latest DX and how the button lights still didn't work and it had pixels go out on it. They ended up sending me another DX and when I got it it wouldn't read any micro SD card (I tried 3 different ones). After complaining they said they would send me another DX, I'm really not happy at this point. I called back and talked to a manager, he said they sometimes have an issue reading the cards and would send me a new card. Well yesterday I got the replacement DX, or so I thought. Turns out they sent me a brand new Droid X2. I even pulled the card from it to test the other phone and sure enough it won't read either. I talked to the guy that sent the SD card and updated him on everything. He said to refuse the SD card and send back the phones and charger, I can keep the extra battery as it doesn't hold a charge all that well anymore.

    I am very happy with the X2 and so far has NO problems. UI is a tad better on this one and is a bit faster. I'm happy now. :D

  10. What would you buy?

    Before you buy, think about a few things first. Are you a big guy or a small framed guy?

    1)If you're on the smaller side, a double stack may not be the gun for you for carry purposes. I have never been able to get used to carrying a double stack, it feels like I'm carrying a brick around all day. The Ruger LC9 you mentioned is a single stack, one of the few on the market and actually a much better gun than the KelTec PF9.

    2) What ever gun you think you may want, check holster availability. Some guns just dont have enough holsters available on the market to give you a choice for comfortable carry.

    If the gun you choose winds up being heavy, bulky or just uncomfortable to carry, you'll find yourself leaving it at home and that defeats the whole purpose of buying one.

    Buy a good gun belt with a stiffner inside, they are expensive but well worth it. They make the difference in carrying all day or not. See "The beltman"

    I'm one of the few who carries a 1911 on a fairly regular basis. Although its heavy, It is a single stack and has a slim profile so I can carry it easier than I can an XD, an M&P or a glock but I do not recomend one unless you shoot one on a regular basis. The aforementioned guns are pretty much point and shoot, a 1911 has a thumb safety that must be defeated and a single action trigger, both of which, if nervous, could lead to unintended consequences.

    The best advice I could give is if you know someone who already has a carry rig set up, ask to try it on and see how it feels. Holsters like crossbreed, desantis, Galco, fobus, they all have a different feel for different guns. I own several carry guns, I only carry two of them and I use three different holsters depending on what I'm wearing. I hope some of that rambling helps you.......

    I'm 5'8" and 155 lbs I can conceal a glock 19. It's all about the holster and placement

    Like Kawi said, it's about holster and placement. I'm 6'1" 155lbs and CC a full size M&P .40 with just a standard leather IWB holster and a heavy belt. Sometimes I'll fold the bottom of my shirt up under the holster clip and that helps to keep the shirt down and over it.

    I bought the M&PC .40 for my first carry gun but didn't have a good experience with. The slide kept locking back mid magazine. Seems that the big flat nose of the .40 bullet was bumping the slide catch fooling the gun into thinking it was empty. Would happen once ever single magazine. I read that others with the .40 had the same issue, but not the 9mm was fine.

    I sent the gun back to Smith, they "fixed" it and sent it back. I shot another 50rds through it without any failures but still sold it anyway. I need to have a little more faith in the tools that my life depends upon.

    You're one of the few. I used to have an M&P .45c and currently have a .40, never the slightest issue with either. I trust my life to my .40 everyday.

  11. Hey crb, here's how the tank it doing...

    I just added the rocks to the tank tonight. Think it looks pretty good. I also now have at least 4 baby Platies, 2 large shrimp and a couple baby shrimp. I also added the Cory from my other tank, I think the Angel Fish were picking on him. He seems happier with the sand bottom anyways. They're all doing pretty well.

    My vote is for the S&W M&P9C. Its a bit cheaper than a Glock, the trigger and sights are superior to Glock and with the Apex Tactical trigger upgrade it blows the glock out of the water.

    Not to mention, with an X-Grip and full size magazine in the gun its just like a full size gun for target shooting.

    Everyone take note, even the resident firearms dealer says M&P is better than Glock. :bow: Rep to you sir.

    Get a compass. :D

    I have an older Garmin, forget what model cuz it's in a box somewhere, but I used it back packing and in the army. It took a hell of a lot of abuse and now if it hits a bump it'll turn off. For as much as it got used, it held up well. I would say other Garmins are well made too?

    1911. All you'll ever need for home defense or to carry. Parts are everywhere, and there is one in every price range and caliber. Its a true classic and has been around forever.

    You're gonna be one of the few on here that says a 1911 is good for carry.

    Don't like smoking? don't smoke.

    Don't like guns? don't buy one.

    Don't like alcohol? Don't drink it.

    Don't like gay marriage? don't marry a dude.

    Don't like drugs? Don't do them.

    Quit legislating shit you don't like, cause eventually shit you do like will get legislated and suddenly you're a criminal, too

    Reminds me of this, albeit a little off topic:

    First they came for the communists,

    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.

    Then they came for the trade unionists,

    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

    Then they came for the Jews,

    and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

    Then they came for the Catholics,

    and I didn't speak out because I was Protestant.

    Then they came for me

    and there was no one left to speak out for me.

    And a more current version:

    First they came for the hackers.

    But I never did anything illegal with my computer,

    so I didn't speak up.

    Then they came for the pornographers.

    But I thought there was too much smut on the Internet anyway,

    so I didn't speak up

    Then they came for the anonymous remailers.

    But a lot of nasty stuff gets sent from anon.penet.fi,

    so I didn't speak up.

    Then they came for the encryption users.

    But I could never figure out how to work PGP anyway,

    so I didn't speak up.

    Then they came for me.

    And by that time there was no one left to speak up.

    I have always thought those concealed carry badges were dumb. Not to mention it could be dangerous if someone sees it and thinks they are a LEO.

    "I carry a badge!" Get this official, law-abiding folding Permit Holder, especially if you are packing concealed heat. It's quick identification and looks impressive.

    If? :nono:
