I was very surprised to hear Arness and Graves were brothers. I never learned that until a few minutes ago when I read it elsewhere.

I think it is more of a testosterone thing than a red-neck attribute :p . My 4 year old and I watched every show of Top Gear. Lately we have been watching Car Warriors on the speed channel, you should check it out. TOP GEAR is my 8-year-old's favorite show. He speaks in an English accent when discu...

Mug shots are public record and Arpaio is a tool. Arpaio is concerned over power and control. His only concern for the public is whether or not they will vote for him. Look beyond the publicity stunts.

Buy a bigger bike

Take the MSF beginner course and then buy a bigger bike than a 250. You'll quickly outgrow the 250 and want more power. My first bike was a 1980 CB750 and I adjusted fine to the size and weight. There are plenty of bikes in the 600 CC range. If you buy a used bike get a newer one and don't buy a bik...

I have a CZ75 PCR which is "mid-size" model and I like it very much. The new P07is a polymer framed pistol and little less expensive than the all metal ones.

All you need is a holster and a mag carrier and you are ready to go.

You have narrowed down your selection to four good choices. I will not muddy the waters with more suggestions.

I reckon any of those four will be reliable and accurate. Try and find a place where you can shoot them and make a final decision.

I have a CZ PCR and really like the pistol.

I know I listed some single stack options above but she needs to be the one to try out all the different models out there. At the least she should hold and manipulate the pistol. Preferably she will be able to shoot her top choices before buying.
