    But then we wouldn't get to stand around drooling over suppressors and BS'ing. The last time I was there, a two-minute pick up took 40 minutes.:)

    I've used Jerry a handful of times. Nice guy. I told him I might not see him til around christmas. What 1911 did you get?

    Nothing terribly Exciting, RIA mil-spec. Wanted one when Blythes offered them to us for 379, little looking found one at buds for the same price shipped. Would rather spend my money lOcal but Blythes was out. I give gem plenty of my money anyway :D

    Anyone planning on attending the Prac/Tac Shotgun Match at NPCCC on Sunday, March 11 @ 0900 ??? If you are interested and you have never been to a match, PM me for details and/or help getting started.

    Also ...

    Any NPCCC members here? ... Ghost? ... Huey ... RePete? I have a friend that might be making a loooong distance drive to this match. I would really appreciate it if a NPCCC member would be willing to sign us in after the match (post tear down too) for maybe an hour of rifle time (sorta make it worth his time).

    Yeah, I know, I need to get off my duff and join. I'll get it done this year.

    I just picked up a new Mossberg 500 about a month ago and am definitely planning on taking the Boomstick out there on the 11th... Set up (yes it does have to be set up too, is at 7:30 AM) You Illannoy boys can sleep in...

    as to the Rifle... hummm, what's he shooting? :):
    Depending on the time I will likely be sticking around for a bit (After Clean up) as I am a long winded BS'er anyway... (or so I am told... mostly by my wife...)

    I got mil spec RIA last year. Polished the feed ramp and changed the grips. About 700 rounds, no problems. Pretty darn accurate with cheap ammo too.

    Went to Bass Pro tonight... fondled a few guns.

    I wish I remembered the model number... but it was a nice little pocket carryable semi auto.

    I think a Taurus PT-111. Ergonomics were a little weird... I couldn't work out how to lock the slide back without a magazine in...? Neither could the guy behind the counter.

    I liked the fact there was somewhere for my pinky unlike the Glock 26 and a little ruger that I could barely get two fingers...around. Giggedy.

    Edit: I was mostly OC'ing around Bass Pro... when I left there was a cop car parked outside... coincidence? Probably, since I saw the cop leaving the restroom area as I was browsing the crappy gift/kid section and he didn't come looking for me/arresting me :p

    Depending on the exact model you were looking it , it probably doesn't have a slide lock at all.

    Jedi not going to be able to make it out to Cabelas this morning to help you. I got stuck at work but I am going to try and stop by after work to pick up the ammo from you. Let me know if that is possible.
