Be careful what you say on the diamondback forum

The Kimber is a 1911. I suspect the 1911 forum or the many members here with them will carry the day for ya. I had no idea you were such an outlaw. I knew about Jocko and his outlaw biker history but you. I'm impressed.

In the Navy your squadron leader assigns you a call sign. Mine was "Outlaw". Actually this was his 3rd or 4th choice. but the others would have violated Navy and FCC regs if they had gone out over the air.

BTW, my work requires that I carry about 250 pounds of equipment including an air compressor all the time. Don't think that would fit in the Boxter, hence the Prius.

Kahr talk is great. I only remember one thread that was locked in my almost year here, and I can probably understand why although it was very entertaining.

[Bawanna]

Thats really the sad thing, some threads are really good and entertaining, usually the ones where a little muds being slung, and minor name calling, and some wadded up panties, then things start to turn slightly ugly and one or two players step over the line and well it gets to the point its best to just fold up the playing field and start a new game.

I used to be involved in alot of those, Jocko and Dietrich and Wynn will remember those, Jocko was attacked mercilessly many many times, some actually upset me considerably for awhile and usually garnered alot of support from other members. Usually the outcome was the other guy left, backed down or got banned. Many of us left ourselves,Jocko, Dietrich, Wyn, myself, just had enough and walked or rolled away as the case maybe.
Always managed to talk everybody into sticking around till the next go round.
Aw the old days.

As I recall it was just such a cyber fisticuff that netted me the honorable position of moderator. I tried to make up and be the nice guy (I know kind of rare) and this only inferiorated the other guy even more to where he actually was making threats. I don't even remember what we were talking about in all honesty. He made a comment that I wasn't a mod and couldn't do anything to him. A quick email to the boss Johnh and my adversaries worst nightmare came true, I was crowned mod and he got banned. (I never did get my ceremonial moderator sword) What a great day in Bawanna kahrtalk history that was. It was a proud moment for me indeed.

Only down fall is now nobody wants to spar anymore. Course theres a lot less sparing between others anymore either, whats with that?

One of the other differences I have noticed between KahrTalk and most of the other forums I frequent is that the threads here seem fewer but longer, which I think is good.

On one other specific forum (which will remain nameless) that I visit frequently because it mostly for a brand and type of gun that is very different from Kahrs, it has been frustrating to get a decent answer to any question because there are a lot of people and SO many threads that it seems nobody pays serious attention to any of them. Maybe lots of people with ADD there.

Today I was permanently banded from the forum.

I am a member of the DiamondbackTalk Forum and read your posts. I didn't see anything wrong with them. I was very surprised to see you were banned.

Since this is a Kahr Forum. I just got a PM9. Took it to the range and shot about 150 rounds with no issue. It is a very nice handgun. Called Crimson Trace today and they were more than happy to exchange my CT laser for my DB9 (laser caused issues with DB9) for a PM9 CT laser.

I see you own a Sig. I hope you noticed I merely asked a simple question. There are now several posts getting at why some forums are repugnant. I think it's the inbreeding. No need to say more as those owners with reputations deserve them.

No harm, no foul, I was being a bit tongue in cheek with the graphic. Not trying to poke you in the eye or anything.

Also, I didn't mean to point fingers at anyone in particular with the forum bashing comment. The mods have made mention of this before in other threads, and I was making a general comment echoing their sentiments.

Ooops! Forget every crack I ever made.

[Bawanna]

Ooops! Forget every crack I ever made.

Dude your cracks are enjoyable, every one of them. These guys mentioned were shooting flaming arrows, down right hateful talk and lower than pond scum morals. They were ugly. Justin and Johnh dropped a couple of them from the hip without question or fanfare. It was the Old West days of kahrtalk for sure. Dodge City of cyber space. 10 paces and hit your mouse.

I left with my tail between my legs several times. I was thin skinned and took everything pretty serious (can you believe that). Even new I knew I'd found a good thing and I didn't want my plug pulled so I conceded.

We had more than a few conference PM sessions. Some of you guys no doubt remember Zena and MX5 fan a couple of Melissa clones, real nice. If Zena hadn't offered Dietrich personal favors to come back he'd probably not be around with us today. I run off right after that but they didn't offer me anything but I came back anyhow.

I had purchased a Crimson Trace Laser in advance of purchasing a Diamondback DB9 and to get in on the rebate they had at the time. Then I found out that the laser was causing the front rails to shear. I then decided, because of all the problems with the DB9 to purchase a Kahr CM9.

I contacted Crimson Trace about my predicament, and asked if they would take back the laser for the DB9 and exchange it for a laser for the CM9. They agreed. They sent me the new laser and in the box was a UPS return tag for the DB9 laser. This transaction didn't cost me a dime.

This is an example of great customer service. Guess what I've told this story to many fellow shooters. This kind of free "advertising" for a company goes a long way.

[recoilguy]

I belonged to a sight for guns made in Argentina ( I was considering one for my wife) and they have a raging love affair with the other Florida Brand besides DB. The one the DB guys left to start up DB.

Dude that place is off the hook with nepatism and *** kissing. I have never seen a place that is supposed to be dedicated to advancing handguns that is so detrimental to it. The people runningit are only interested in their opinion or those who parrott it.

i was banned for 3 days once for replying to the Adminstrator with ZZZZZZZzzzzzz. I was told it was offensive and inappropriate. I said thanks for the banning I will not return. I never have.

This site is one of the 2 best gun site on the web in my opinion! Thank you to all who make it that way!!!!

I have said it before, and will say it again. I set out to make this forum...well this:



Took a little grief over it here and there. Will not go into that. But I think the end result speaks for itself.

I too have dealt with CT and they are great.

[jocko]

Johnb H, does a great job, u know why??? WE NEVER HEAR FROM HIM, which means ALL IS WELL. That is what a good adminstrator does, he surronds himself with good people whcih make shim look even better.

I sur ein hell would not want the job

[Longitude Zero]

We all owe John a big thanks. As an aside the buffoons at DB have struck again. They put out a POS 380 then a POS 9mm and now for their latest debacle a soon to be determined POS 32NAA.

What a bunch of dipthongs.

[getsome]

Dipthongs!!!....Thats a good one....I gotta remember to file that term away for future use...It perfectly describes some of the people i work with...Thanks...
