  1. Damn... So tempting but the wife would kill me. Did you advertise on theGSResources.com?

    I did last fall but not at this reduced price. I had one guy that wanted me to haul it half-way across Illinois... and another guy that knew it was a great deal but was scared of his wife. ;)

  2. I just kicked the coffee habit a few months ago. My wife told me to taper off slowly over a few weeks, but being a tough guy, I quit cold turkey. By 6 in the evening I had a bad headache, and a few hours later it was so bad I was nauseous and nearly incapacitated. I then drank a few cups of coffee and it was the middle of the night before the pain and nausea eased.

    From that point on I listened to my wife and reduced my coffee intake by one cup per week. It took me a month to get off it completely.

  3. Re: carrying a revolver with a loaded chamber: Modern revolvers have a transfer bar mechanism that allows the firing pin/hammer to contact the primer only when the trigger is pulled. The Ruger revolver I have has the hammer riding on the frame and you couldn't set off a round no matter how hard you hit the hammer. Older revolvers didn't have this safety feature and should be carried with the hammer over an empty chamber.

  4. About 150 for the 80% lower. 100 for the drilling jig. Need a bench press and a thread tap big enough for the stock/buffer tube. Looks to be an hour or two of work to complete.

    I would use a drill press with a cross slide vise instead of a bench press. Also, I've never seen an 80% that didn't have the buffer tube hole already threaded.

  5. A gun to learn to shoot with and a CCW gun might be 2 different guns.

    My wife has a Keltec P3at, hates to shoot it, and developed a nasty flinch as a result. I bought a Taurus PT22 for her to re-learn with and I thinned the grips so that it is nearly as concealable at the P3. I don't want to get into the whole ".22 for self defense debate," but my reasoning is that a couple .22s in the chest would be better than a .380 in the ground at the bad guy's feet. First time we went shooting she had her flinch under control in about three mags full, and she really enjoys shooting it now. I also took my daughters to shooting with it and they took to it immediately.

    So, I'd get a .22 to learn and an LCP to carry when she's ready.
