I started singing the song as soon as I saw James McMurty.

This verse always cracks me up.

Ruth-Anne and Lynn, they wear them cut-off britches
And then skinny little halters and they're second cousins to me
Man, I dont care, I want to get between them
With a great big 'ol hard-on
Like an ol' Bodark fencepost
That you can hang a pipe rail gate from
Do some sister twisters till the cows come home
And we'll be having us a time

A master songwriter.

Looks like my weekend plans are shot. MrsPatK tested positive for COVID today. I tested negative, they said as long as I show no symptoms I can go to work Monday. Work wants me to stay home just in case. Still will probably take the dog to the vet.

Of course, she's being a cunt and claiming me for it because we had 5 people out with the flu at work and I stayed home yesterday.

And she's had COVID going around work where she deals with the general public and has had 4 coworkers come down with it. It's also been popping up in the area and we went to a concert at a casino last weekend.

I swear to fucking God, she's not only a retard but when she's sick she has to make everyone feel as miserable as she does

Posted this in another thread.

I was able to snag my HK 45 several months back that I carried on the road. I asked to buy it when I left and was told I couldn't only retirees could buy their guns. I told the head armorer I would pay full retail for it so they could buy a new one. Nope.

Well first day of the academy we have to write down the serial numbers of all our equipment. I still had the notebook

One of my friends is a member of the firearms team, I gave him the serial number and said if this ever gets traded in let me know.

Several months ago it was and now is currently in my safe, I paid half retail.

I love this gun.

Those guns are so cool. Don’t get me wrong the USP is a classic but I remember when the HK45 came out and thinking it was the new hot shit. I need to grab one eventually.

Congrats! I'm sure that has more sentimental value to you than it would to anyone else. Glad you got it for a good price too.

I’ve got to get a 1911. I just can’t seem to find the right one that’s what I want and in the price I’m after. Again I know I’m overly picky. Here are my parameters if someone wants to make a recommendation.
  • .45acp
  • Single stack
  • No front serrations
  • No rail
  • No threaded barrel
  • Decent sights
  • 5” barrel
  • Really want an all black gun, not parkerized, so either cerakote or something like the DLC coating Glock uses
  • No Springfields
  • Ideally under like $1100-1200 but would consider more

Closest I’ve found is the Dan Wesson Vigil and it’s out of production and real hard to find in the spec Im after. Im aware I have OCD.

Someone say RIA?

13 years ago I wanted a 1911, wife and I were at the gun shop and I was debating between RIA and Kimber raptor 2. Wife asked me which one I wanted, I said I wasn't sure. Opened this up on Christmas morning. I love the RIA. I swapped out the grips on it though.

RIA is criminally underrated, IMO. I don’t remember who it was specifically but the dude overhauled basically everything and more or less started from scratch.

I bought a Tikka .308 rifle and vortex scope a couple years ago with the idea of tip toeing into some longer range shooting. I never got around to sighting the damn thing in until yesterday and I had a blast. One thing is like to run by some of the more experienced here is, should I invest in a bipod? The range I go to has some wood props with cloth on top to rest the gun and it is very helpful. Would a bipod be even better for stability?

Bottom target was getting the scope sighted in at 108 yds. Top was after some adjustments. Not claiming to be anything special and it was my first time at anything over 50yds. But still happy with results and have some work to do.

What are you trying to accomplish? if you are just wanting to see accuracy potential sandbag it...and get a rear bag or bean sock. The Tikka is a light rifle....set a sling, adjust it to fuck around with the tension so threading your support arm through and lay it on the sling. This tensions the gun down into the front and rear bag. Adjust it so it's not crazy....just enough to snug it down.

If you do get a bipod. set a piece of drawer liner rubber mat onto bench to keep it from sliding forward the gun when you build your position...tension into the gun. Again, sock or rabbit ear bag....I prefer a sock or smal squeeze bad that I adjust on the angle of the bootom of the rear stock

Yes, they are. They’re not a custom fit gun but still very nice for what you have to give for one.

That's the one I have. After pricing out the options for a Kimber SWAT build, (and losing a used Kimber TLE II auction because I logged in 2 minutes too late...it sold for $570...), I figured fuck it, get the 9mm with a rail and call it a day.

I wish RIA made a 1911 with a pic rail and front cocking serrations.

Just won this. Been shooting my 1911 a lot recently and figured what the hell. I’ve had great experience with my RIA

They have gotten pretty solid. Joe Chambers, master 19/2011 builder and full on autistic nerd, has spoken surprisingly highly of them, the current frame to fit numbers and he's good friends with one of their main guys. Says they do things suprisingly correct throughout the build process and they actually care about building guns that work.

Knocking out a couple gun projects and building more target stands while I wait for this monsoon to die down.

I'm an idiot so I forgot the fucking shot time AND my god damn range belt lol. But I did bring a pole of holsters, so I can run concealed or from some of the competition holsters.

Arod will be pleased to know I brought the leather holster and mag pouches for the 1911 so I can do some shooting like a real man.

Might set up some steel at 500 yards so I can actually use the 1911 properly! 1000010388.jpg1000010389.jpg
