A nice SOLID firearm that gives you a lot <<of weight>> for your money... an inexpensive choice for those who don't have big budgets.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. One of the guys at the range insisted that I try his "fotay" version. With that much weight, there was very little recoil. Thing was accurate shooting free hand. Do I want one . . . NO! But, they work. They are cheap. It was fun to shoot.

The warranty follows the gun which means you can buy a POS at a gun show and get full support. There must be a lot of profit in them because the stories I have heard about their support are amazing (amazingly positive, that is).

I've got a nice little collection of handguns I think.
Some very good looking classic examples.
But I'm a self defense carry gun guy first and foremost.
Function means more to me than looks.
And my favorite carry/range guns are my two double stack polymer autos.
HK P30 40 V1 Light LEM and my tricked out Glock G27-357 Sig.
It's not even a conscious choice.
Those are just the guns I reach for.
That's just the way it is...

Saw this and immediately thought "This is something Dietrich would have posted"

No problem with the pickup vs animal deal, Obama's got that all worked out...Paper says the O administration has mandated new fuel economy rules to force the auto makers to have a CAFE average of 54.5 mpg by 2025....He says it will save american drivers 1.7 trillion a year or $8000.00 per driver as well as working to eliminate greenhouse gasses....

The auto manufacturers are scratching their collective heads wondering just how they can make a 1 ton pickup get 45 mpg with available technology... Obama says they will have to develop it or else and Obama will take all the credit for solving the problem...

Yes it will force auto makers to invest in magic new technology to meet the mandated CAFE standards but the problem is the cars will be so expensive that nobody can afford to buy one so Americans will no longer be forced to buy gasoline and the environment will be much cleaner so problem solved....BUT now the auto makers will go into bankruptsy and lay off all their workers and Obama will save the day and bail them out with taxpayer money that doesn't exist so they don't go broke....Wait a minute, didn't we just do this???...Obama math doesn't figure and the man doesn't have a clue and if we don't get him out of office in November I don't see America making it to 2016 much less 2025!!!....

Not only so, but those vehicles will be so expensive that only the elite can afford them, and so light that they will be very dangerous in a wreck. Can you picture 20 people hanging onto the outside of an overloaded bus or train trying to get to work? BO won't be happy until America is a Third World Country!

Cool! That will really make my day!

Well life is just full of kicks in the butt. The Surgeon informed me today that due to the extensive damage to my liver, that the by-pass has gone from a routine procedure, into a fairly risky one. Just what I needed to hear. Oh well, I should at least survive the procedure, it's the next few days that they are concerned about. All I can do is put it in God's hands and let him decide how he wants to handle this one. Hope to be seeing you all later.

[Bawanna]

We'll all be there with ya. Bring your sense of humor and your positive attitude with you. Leave everything else at home.

It's you and the floor nurse in charge, the doctors just a player. Walk in the park pal.

Remember they have to talk about worst case scenario, we don't need to go there.

You'll be a new man in no time, probably buy one of the Honder scooters and have another mid life.

[Tinman507]

Smooth sailing Tom.
Put it in God's hands.
Looking forward to talking with you soon.
