Traded pistols yesterday.

I traded one of my Sig P6 pistols and $100 yesterday for a LNIB Sig 226R .40 cal that has 150 rounds through it. A friend bought the 226 new for just over $700 and now it's mine for a total of only $420.

Not bad.

How come Obama never gets deals like that? That Rev. Right always pickin' on him.

"Not bad"?
Thats an understatement. Congratulations!

Because Obama hates guns...

[MakeMineaP99]

Good trade, 'cept for the .40 part.

[Steve Koski]

What? You know you want a Forty!

[MakeMineaP99]

Hell no. Why shoot .40 when God invented .45?

[Steve Koski]

God's great grandfather invented 45. God invented the forty.

[MakeMineaP99]

Even the devine make mistakes.

Find me a Chicago Typewriter chambered in .40, need I say more?

[blueline541]

The .40 ain't all that bad. I've yet to point my .40 at a person only to have him say, "Hey, is that only a .40? Man, I'm leaving because you're embarrassing me."


But I am glad you are a Thompson fan. Best gun ever made.

[MakeMineaP99]

Yeah, I'll have to give you that. If were a 9mm, I bet he'd start laughing. ;)

You know me, no ARs allowed in the house, got the Garand, Springfield and plenty of Carbines. I don't own a modern long gun (unless I got one I forgot about).

[blueline541]

I'll let you try out a couple of .40s the next time you're at the range.

I've got the Sig, an HK, and I reckon we can knock the dust off the G27.

[MakeMineaP99]

I'm going to nail down a definative schedule this weekend with the PM. The project is supposed to take a different direction next week, we'll see what that means. Talking about 5s and 2s, which will be welcome news.

I may have to go home again, so I'll be coming back up your way. I think I told you I was going home to take care of a small crisis, no sooner do I get home and fix one crisis than another one surfaces (old man collapsed Saturday night, a few hours after I got in from GA).

Hopefully I can sneak a few hours of shooting in somewhere. Regardless of schedule, I'll have to run the "goodies" up to you.

[blueline541]

I hope your father is doing better.

[MakeMineaP99]

Thank you, sir. I'm afraid we have some rough times coming.

[blueline541]

I took it to the range the other morning and it shoots like a dream.

It's a keeper.

[MakeMineaP99]

Cool beans. I might have to try it, even though .40 sucks.

[blueline541]

If Sig makes it then it has to be good.
