Eh? I think/hope you're the only one "humming" Dos Gringos, but I am sure they appreciate it!

Shit, the semi-auto go for about $5K here, bolt actions about $3K...it's the ammo and finding someplace to shoot 'em that's the biggest pain... By the way, that's me holding a Barrett M107 in my avatar! Cheers! M2

There's a little more info in the CSAF Ops Update on SIPRNET. There's a link to the USAF Ops Group web site on the BaseOps page if you need help finding the brief. To the crew!

OK, here are a couple of pics of my new Saiga... This is one with my Bulgarian bayonet on it... I just put the Bulgarian sling on it, which I think looks really nice. It is very similar to the Russian AK sling, but in black. Pure sweetness! Cheers! M2

No experience myself, but a lot of info on it can be found at this web site. Apparantly they were really popular with the SEALS in Vietnam. Here's one account: Cheers! M2

No need to explain, as long as we're talking about this, I understand everything I need to know!

They're crap, Google "Pager Pal" and you'll find they don't work as well as advertised. Check eBay if you still want one, as folks are always trying to get rid of them; but they are a waste of money. Save up for a good IWB instead... EDIT: OK, these aren't quite the same thing as a Pager Pal; but they still look like crap. The holster doesn’t appear to hold the weapon firmly in place, it would be awkward to wear and I don’t see how you could get a good draw from it. Plus, how comfortable is it going to be to have this thing wrapped around your waist? It is very similar to the Pager Pal, and equally unimpressive. I stand by my recommendation to save up and get a good IWB holster. Go check out Don Hume’s concealed carry holsters and find one that works for you! Cheers! M2

T-bonez The guy I bought the Webley from got them at a gun show. It was 50 rounds for $24.95. He actually gave me 49, as he has a collection of pistol cartridges… Cheers! M2

Well, had an opportunity to pick up a Webley Mk IV .38/200 with 50 rounds of ammo for pretty cheap. The rub was that a previous owner had scrubbed all the bluing off! However, the current owner was willing to part with it cheap, so I decided to snag it anyway. I believe it was made in 1943, but there are little markings other than the serial number, 'Webley and Scott Ltd' across the top and 'Webley Mk IV .38' on the side. Anyhow, here are some quick pics (thumbnails, actually, so click on 'em for the full-sized versions)... And some with the Mk VI .455 I picked up a while back... Considering the Mk IV cost 1/10th of the Mk VI, I'm thinking it was a pretty good deal! Just for fun, I took a pic of the .455 (left) and the .38/200 (right) rounds... Cheers! M2

The Mossy is kinda like an AK...it doesn't need a lot of "tactical accessories" to get the job done. Sure, some folks (like myself) will hang lights and lasers on them, but for the most part they are very utilitarian in nature and work as required. They definitely aren't going to win any beauty pageants! Cheers! M2

Slacker, nice snags; but I gotta disagree with your comment that the Persuader is "nothing special." I find it to be a perfect HD shottie! Now go get some 3" Magnum 00-buckshot shells for it, and you'll be able to "whack-a-mole" anything that comes through the door uninvited... Cheers! M2

Security Clearance questions
Yep, based on the information later provided, my advice was incorrect; but based on what Magellan posted in his earlier posts, it would have been the appropriate course of action. The bottom line is if he had read the entire instructions, it would have been clear that it said to list anything answered with 'yes' in the previous questions (26a-p). Magellan did not include that, which made the difference; but I will stick to the advice that when in doubt, include whatever information you can. Failure to do so has much greater ramifications than including information that they don't need. Flags are raised when there is information missing, not too much of it!

Security Clearance questions
It couldn't be stated any clearer! "Disclose all financial obligations, including those for which you are a cosigner or guarantor, on the following page!" You have two loans, which are financial obligations, so list them! Jeez!

-9- There are many discussions concerning CCW in the 83 pages of this thread. I for one love my XD45, but I have also had good experiences with the two Taurus 9mm semi-autos I picked up (a PT111 and PT709 Slim). But I am one of those old school guys who prefer the larger, slower .45ACP over the 9mm, but as T-bone said, find what will do the job for you. The Winchester Ranger SXT +P is good ammo, it's got the current version of the Black Talon bullet. I would only recommend that you shoot a few through your Glock if you haven't already. Never use a self-defense round without knowing how it works in your weapon... Otherwise, it sound like a good set-up. Get some ball ammo and some range time under your belt, there is nothing better than practice. I'd also recommend trying an IDPA or some kind of other competitive shooting match. You don't have to worry about being competitive, just go out and have a great time, be safe and enjoy the training! It's much better than standing at a table taking all the time in the world to aim and shoot which will be unrealistic if you ever find yourself in a self-defense situation! Cheers! M2
