Boomsticks: Time for a change.

I think I'll dump all my Smiths and 1911s and stock up on Glocks. After all, the former two are low-capacity guns unlikely to be threatened by any renewed AWB. Mag capacity: that's where it's at.

If you think a decent 1911 costs a whole months salary, you need to get a better job. 2 weeks pay with money left over for grub and a few beers is more like it for a nice custom Brown or Wilson.

But then again I drive a 13 year old truck and the wife drives a 20 year old car so maybe its just financial management.; 10:48 AM, April 01, 2007

Granted, I'm a heathen by your standards. I have one smith, a recent vintage 638 with CT grips, and no plans to buy another. For a full-size revolver my GP100 fills my needs nicely.; 1:25 PM, April 01, 2007
Anonymous said...: Taurus buying Colt? Can't you just see the board meetings, with arguments over which is better, the bull or the horse? Aw, well, it's all just used grass, anyway...

Mag capacity? Ain't the idea that the best go-banger is the one with which you best can make that first shot count?

Two weeks until IRS day--and that ain't no joke.
