GlockDoc:Thanks.5 stitches rt.wrist= $450+dr.fee.Car bill was tune-up($1,000 worth!).No Plymoth:'96 Fod Ranger(probably the reason for the $1,000:you know how Fords are*G*).I COULD swap/sell the Bodyguard but I have in the past & ended-up buying it back(that says something,doesn't it?).

Update:"He who hesitates is lost"....or at least loses his new-gun money to trifling things like hospital bills(minor emergency;no permanant damage) & car repairs.*Sigh* Oh well I guess I need the kid & car more than a new gun*G*.Reckon my old faithful Bodyguard'll just have keep doing its job.But t...

'Far as I'm concerned utility says it all.I've carried a knife for so long I literally feel naked without one.It's as much a part of my EDC pocket litter as my car keys & wallet.Yes defense is a concern & who doesn't like to show-off new toys but I'll say utility.?Anyone got just one"does it all" kn...

My apologies for the multiple posts.Sorry.

MaNcEr:See my post in'Glock vs Beretta' on this.In addition the Black Talon was the victim of bad press("Opens into buzzsaw-like blades that horribly mutulate flesh!Surgeon cuts finger removing Black Talon from shooting victim!"<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>.357Sig:Hadn't h...

MaNcEr:The Black Talon was replaced by the Golden Saber.Marshall rates the Federal 230 Hydra-Shok #1,the the Remington 185 Golden Saber #2 with the 230 Golden Saber #5(GunWorld,March 2001).I tend to test my carry loads & prefer accuracy over horsepower(& if I do go auto add reliability of function t...

Congratulations! As I suggested to the other grad:a Spydercard with"From Me To Me On My Graduation".Go Vols!

HoosierDaddy;I think you missed my point.No doubt the Merceedes is superior to the Chevy but if you can't afford it it's useless to you.Same with guns:the $100 Raven in your pocket beats the $850 Para Ord.you gaze longing at at the gun shop.**** right I'd rather have the Para!But if all I can afford...

Congratulations!?Why not a Spydercard engraved"To Me From Me On My Graduation:I Earned this!"*G*

I first heard of the Stealth when a gunsmith buddy of mine showed me one & spoke well of it.Later 'Combat Handguns' had an article on gas-locked handguns & compared the Steath quite favorably to the H&K P7(!!).Hoosierdaddy I agree:you get what you pay for,but the best equipment in the world is usele...

Near as I can figger somewhars 'twixt a slew 'n' a shitload*G*.('At's Southern talk 'n' figgern',y'all*G*)

Hoosierdaddy:The selling point of the 9 is the availabilty of h-cap mags & my knowledge of the recoil & accuracy.My ex had a Beretta Brigader & shot consistant 15 rd. 4" groups @ 10 yards.I agree the numbers favor the .40.Interesting to note that 2 survivors of the FBI Miami massacre went 2 differen...
