  1. my daughter started smiling (like, intentionally, not just muscle twitches from her young developing noggin). every time i see it, my heart stops for just a half beat. hopefully my swelling heart will make up for the arrhythmia.

    That's awesome! Kids are great. Wouldn't trade them.

  2. Not looking to start a fight but have you seen guys have troubles with the higher end 1911's?  What kinds?

    I've been very critical of the current crop of mid-level 1911s like the Kimber custom line. I felt that a $1300 gun should not need to break-in before becoming reliable. I felt that I could never really trust it if I don't know whether it's done breaking in or not. That was until I really had a conversation with an owner. He pulled out his Kimber (verified it was unloaded of course) and let me play with it. The tolerances are so extremely tight by design, the break-in period is really a final step in manufacturing. His gun went from "I wanna send this POS back and sue these bastards" to 100% reliable after shooting the crap out if it. Most of the interwebz hate out there is from people like me, used to 100% out-of-the box reliability from our Smith/Glock/XD/Sig/Walther/HK/Beretta. If you buy a 1911, plan on spending some money on rounds and range time to finish the job the manufacturer started. If this concept isn't for you, get a $400-$900 gun from the list above and you will be accurate and reliable. I don't have a 1911 anymore, but I do regret selling that Colt. I'll have another one day.

  3. I hit some private land and gravel pit today and this was my outcome. Hit a jump a little too fast and got the quad about 6 foot in the air and landed hard on all fours. My hand slipped off the grip and slammed my wrist into the bars. They say it's not broken maybe a severe sprain, but it hurts like hell

    Oh man, that sucks! Heal up quickly!

    I'm a little bruised and battered myself. Had a bit of over-falsity of confidence and decided to do some high speed donuts in the gravel area. The quad stopped, I didn't. Landed on my shoulder, elbow, hip, knee. Just sore. I was sure the bike was going to land on me, but it stayed on all fours. It happened early enough in the day to remind me of my true skill level. For that, I'm a little grateful.

  4. I'm going to take the new quad down to Monday Creek early Saturday morning. I know it's the epic ride and I know it's some free day and may be crowded, but damnit.... I rented the trailer and I'm going. Anyone want to join me? I don't know shit about the trail system and have limited 4-wheeler experience, but what the hell....right? Anyways.... Post on here if you might find your way down there.

  5. add 515-353-6541 - got that today - google says unwanted sales call from the infamous "rachel" to re-finance credit with lower rates

    Whore

    Card member Services..... My wife recorded some asshole from that company telling her that he found her number and can find her address.... He's going to rape her and kill her. Police took the report but couldn't track him down.

  6. Little Brian and Big me both carry AIWB with full size guns. Get that little LCP shit outta here.

    I definitely see the benefits of AIWB for concealment and ease of draw. No question. But unless you are on your feet all day, how do you function? Sitting? Driving? Bending over (how you doin?)?

    I find kidney carry to be the most comfortable, but a gun bigger than a sub-compact tends to print more than I'd like it to. It's an open carry state, so in places where carry is permitted it's a non-issue....... But some places just aren't rational that way.

  7. That would suck if we armed a group to fight a common enemy only for them to turn around and use that training and those arms against us. Would never happen though........
