In an 'ass like a dumptruck' west virginia sorta way ....

Rarely used, sure. But definitely carried around, weathered, likely neglected, and probably not cared for by your crack surgical staff. And they still managed to go boom when needed. 1911s aren't for all, certainly. But they don't require kid gloves either.

Easy on the assumptions. I said it generally wasn't necessary ... I didn't say it was hard to figure out or I didn't know how to do it. Function checks and changes in trigger pull will highlight wear areas. Do you really detail strip all of your firearms every time you clean? If so, good on ya. I don't usually have that sort of time and the weapons don't require it. And have no manual safety and don't fit my hand and don't conceal well for me. I have several 1911's (including Kimbers) and I shoot on average almost 1000 rounds per month. Yeah, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc. was a cakewalk for sidearms I'm sure Regardless of your views on handguns ... get something in a caliber that starts with "4," shoot it often, and learn to shoot it well.

Bah! The only Reason to have armorer level skills is if you are making mods. A field strip is simple and all you'll need for 99.9% of cleaning and mx You can be a beta tester for a design produced last week, or go with a platform that has been workin just fine for over a century.

Just get a 1911 and be happy .... A good belt is a must .... And they aren't THAT much heavier ....

Maybe in fatty motors, but I'll betcha an exploding viper at Luke that fighters throwing a blade is generally catastrophic.

Get a clapper while you're at it old man ...

Or maybe DFAS will post your 2011 w-2 for the DITY in may. Never underestimate the stupidity of a large beuracracy. "None of us is as dumb as all of us!"

Best headline I've seen: "Don Cornelious Starts Black History Month Off with a Bang..."

I can recommend the Destin Princess.

Poor Spelling?

There's also a flexible portion near the bridge off your nose you can pinch.

Yes, there is a USS KLAKRING in the navy.

Meh ... This is just Islam's Dark Ages ... the analogy fits and the timeline is about right. (imagine christianity's dark ages with cars and guns and heavy industrial construction equipment)

I got a lowe's master forge brand. Cooks well, but not nearly as heavily constructed as my circa 2000 kenmore. It's cheap Chinese stainless (magnet sticks to it) but it looks pretty and has the bells and whistles (rotis. Burner, sear burner, gas Bottle on a sliding tray, lights, bottle opener). I'm not expecting a lot for durability/mover resistance for $600.... But we'll see.

Where's that joker pic .....

Read the actual material they mailed to you very carefully ... all of it. Is it really a bonafide gov't ticket (a no shit summons) or a third party (speeding camera company) trying to collect?

None taken. I'm not tied to the brand (and my sample is >1). I'd also recommend a pure, simple GI model for the red-blooded American entry to 1911's. (I needed stainless and night sights for carry and Kimber fit the bill at the time)

I carry a 3" kimber daily and have over 1000 failure-free rounds down the pipe. There's a reason the 1911 was the standard issued sidearm of the US Military for 74 years through 4 major conflicts. Buy one and shoot it as much as possible ... it's a fine weapon for proud Americans. Don't believe the anti-1911 hype on the interwebs.

Ha! /Funny cause it's true //Aggressor ///slashies

But by the time you get to the third trip it's fun and easy. You go first, check out o billeting and haul ass to juarez.

You would think ....

That's within the limits of where the straps will let you go if the inertial reels don't lock. You could easily lean forward to the 'dash' or turn around 180+ while fully strapped in ... there's a lot of travel avaialable. Speculation, but looks like you can see a shoulder strap in Pic 12 or 13.

SLAW - sounds like a woman (also acceptable for b-course prenaming)
