Brad. come on down I'll take you to the range!  :grinyes:

Sounds fun! I took my 3 boys to a range in Myrtle Beach a few years ago. The had a blast ( pardon the pun!)
They still talk about that. I'm more of a 45 ACP type guy myself. Blackpowder is fun too! (I have a few of each) As soon as they get rid of the "long gun registry" around here ( soon they say?) I'll join the gun club again and take the boys shooting.

Pretty nice 9mm!! I like the .44 or .45 prefer to only have to hit a potential target one time, (ball type round) Hollow points just do nasty things to the target! Did not care for the baretta's we carried in the military although they tear down quick and are pretty easy to maintain. Was looking at the desert eagle .45 at the last gun show not a bad price. Still want a custom kimber.

Thanks! Yes its real comfy/nice balance. And will get the job done thats for sure. But I was taught only to use FMJ for target shoots. And use HP for defense, cause you dont want one going thru your threat and hitting some one else. Kimber, very nice!

Here's my contribution,

SQUIRRELS TREMBLE AT THE SOUND OF MY NAME!!!!!  :smilielol:  (Sorry, I have gun envy...  :( )



Sorry, don't have much to add to the lethal toy section...it does have a laser scope...  :walkaway:


For non-lethal toys....scored big on craigslist yesterday.
 Got these 3 for $30... so basically $10 a car.  The convertible Mercedes SLK55 AMG ha a retractable hardtop roof, pretty cool.  The CLK has a front canopy that removes to show the engine and suspension, pretty cool...

Now check out the one in the middle. 



He's something interesting.  It's a "retired" Exoto 1964 Daytona Cobra from 1997 of the chassis #CSX2299 that won the GTIII class at the 1964 24 hours of LeMans driven by Dan Gurney/Bob Bondurant and took the World Manufacturers Cup from Ferrari in 1965 driven by Dan Gurney.  Limited production run, ended in October of 1998, and all cars serialized.

The Exoto site has it listed for $998.95! http://www.exoto.com/s/1/ProductDetails.aspx?Language=en&CategoryId=158&ProductId=1260

Ebay has 3, 2 "Buy It Now"s for $355 and $800 and an auction starting at $500! I got it bascally for $10!  :bigsmile:  :woohoo:

Here's a closer pic I snagged off the internet:

 Yeah, that was a concern that is why I do not leave the 5.56 out for fear of the LAPR going through the intruder, the wall, the neighbors wall. I keep shotgun ready first round 3 inch turkey nitro slug next rounds Buckshot even If the nughead has armor I will knock him on his ass thenm finish off the fleshy parts with the buckshot. I just hope it never happens I do not want to clean Brains off of the walls floor and ceiling after they have dried petrofied waiting for the cops to show up!!

 Nice score! I have the one ( Daytona Cobra)Dan Gurney drove ( Exoto) . I also have a mercedes like yours with the hood painted to look like the engine is coming through. Is yours an Exoto? I ask as other manufacturers are making the same car , but at a much cheaper cost ( and detail)

Yep, it's an Exoto, serialized chassis.  If you see the Exoto link it's the exact same car.  I have a cheaper Toy R Us special squirreled away in the basement somewhere and I know the quality is no where as nice as this one.
