I'll take it though.

I'd love to get Ian butt down at about 40mph.

Sigs are outstanding firearms. Yes, they are mostly set up for right-handed world but too, I don't generally like how top heavy and tall the bore axis on them tends to be. The DAK is more lefty-friendly though, as there is no decocker on it to fuck with.

for those with a banner ad problem, and firefox, add www.ih8mud.com/adserver/*
to your blocked list

I wasn't getting it because I have noscript on this computer, but that looks new to me

Mars · 08-04-08, 10:19 AM

Gotcha. I have yet to fire anything HK. I've shot a handful of SIG's, Berretta's and Glocks...

I'm going to get a .45. Not sure what yet though.

Oh yeah...on my shooting test I had to fire everything double action as well.

I was stoked.

They came with the weapon. They really dress up the SAS pistols.

Of the gubs I've handled...this is my favorite .45 I've messed with:

Only a 6 round mag though...

P220 compact

As well you should--in real life, you never will shoot yours in single action.

Yup...very true.

I concur. AdBlockPlus sizzles.

Started doing a little grip strength exercises for the first time this morning, 7 weeks from my injury, on my own, very gently, with a squeeze ball. Holy fuck my grip is weak on that side.

It's not surprising, having done nothing requiring any grip strength for nearly two months...

Haunting patterns within planetary nebula NGC 6543 readily suggest its popular moniker -- the Cat's Eye nebula. Starting in 1995, stunning false-color optical images from the Hubble Space Telescope detailed the swirls of this glowing nebula, known to be the gaseous shroud expelled from a dying sun-like star about 3,000 light-years from Earth. This composite picture combines the latest Hubble optical image of the Cat's Eye with new x-ray data from the orbiting Chandra Observatory and reveals surprisingly intense x-ray emission indicating the presence of extremely hot gas. X-ray emission is shown as blue-purple hues superimposed on the nebula's center. The nebula's central star itself is clearly immersed in the multimillion degree, x-ray emitting gas. Other pockets of x-ray hot gas seem to be bordered by cooler gas emitting strongly at optical wavelengths, a clear indication that expanding hot gas is sculpting the visible Cat's Eye filaments and structures. Gazing into the Cat's Eye, astronomers see the fate of our sun, destined to enter its own planetary nebula phase of evolution ... in about 5 billion years.
