Define "our" place. She kicked you out? From the last sentance it sounds he left the place they were living together.... but, what it comes down to is who was paying and is it still going to be paid on? Personaly I don't think I would have left untill you had some more things sorted out, but I definately understand your not wanting to be there. Stay strong, it gets way better.

I have half cock, if you count that, dove tail, thumb, and if you want I have seen a trigger engaged safety somewhere... I am more on the side of mrray. The power you can purchace with a .45 acp round is worth every penny, and they come in all sizes. I also feel if you need more than 4-5 rounds, it's a gun fight, and not self defence, or your aim is WAY off. The security of having it though is the best. I think a conceal and cary weapon should be the most versitle weapon for protectign yourself from iminent life threatening danger. I always talk to people about ther difference in a 9mm vs .45. 9mm is a stab wound, .45 is a sledge hammer. I would rather push back or knock down a methed up super freak than just puncture holes through him and hope he bleeds out before he clears the 10' to get to me. In a police incident near my house a 9mm made it clear through a house where the police were doing a drug bust. The hit an officer though a thin wall on the other side. This is an extreme and unlikely incident, but if you can use something to help reduce penitration and increase the transfer of more massive force into the intended target I say WIN WIN. It's not possible to see what or who is imediately and directly behind your human target, and if your trying to shoot a guy down through a door, you have seen too many movies.

It's about who you know not what you know.

I was thinking and the XD is also a nice weapon and low cost. Again .45 is my recomendation. It fits my shorter finders better than my 1911 actualy, and a larger round capacity. The number one thing you need to look for is what will stop the person, and what is confortable to you.

I hope this is in reference to a carry/self defense gun only... yep. I think I typed that on my 2nd or 3rd gimlet or so.

Jon I would still say my statement holds true. Maybe you won't carry a 1911, but it's one of the best guns to then say what you would like to have done differently. I am also firm in that you should ONLY fire hollow or some other high stopping low penetrating round. Even more so if it's your first weapon. You guys have some good points though and I do think if you want to carry hot in the chamber, go revolver, less to worry about. My 1911 can be carried cocked and ready and still have 2-3 safety's to go however.

SQ that can handle some spl work. i would say 1000 would be right for 99% of people. If you know what you are doing 1500 would work, but you wouldn't want to shoot that much power at it. I think SSA even has a sundown and icon deal in the shop. You can't go wrong there.

if you want personal defense, try any solid 1911 type. Best gun in my book, I'm a fan boy even. If you're not a fan say why, and then we can help you from there.

awesome

not if you want to reproduce music the way intended.

I vote Raam in every possible way.

lawl. the humor was missed.

yes, the machine is not as important as the grinder. If you had a $700 budget, I'd spend $500 of it on the grinder and $200 on the machine. hrm... elaborate please? I never knew the grind was so important! I would love a cappucinno every morning for sure.

Why not, my idea of a stealth install had 9" woofers in the door. I wil FG a large portion of the side of my truck and work in the woofer. I am just not sure FG will contain an 18" as solid as it would need. The sides on the rear end of the expedition will be just BARELY tall enough to make it look make it work. It will be quite modded. Maybe I should call it a "re-worked factory install" not stealth. =)

Should I even attempt to make a "stealth instal" for my just purchased 18" Q, or should I do a triangle or normal box sealed against the back seats?

... wow. I did like dun brothers, but I didn't really pay attention. I am not prepaired to spend 2k on coffee gear just yet. I would love to try a cup though. I am partial to espresso, and that is what those machines are for correct?

Brand... hrm Brand of dog, or shotgun? Here is a start for the whole monitoring your place. http://www.smarthome.com/_/Security/_/H/land.aspx Security for an APT is pretty hard but a simple set of door and window alarms may be enough, are you ground level or 40 stories up? You can be pretty creative. I want to have most of my perimiter covered when I move into a house, but more for the sake of having it than anything else.

I am too, I grind mine at home. I may have to start bringing in my beans to work though. What do you use Sean?

LOL that's to you. I have picked Seans brain over and over again. This thread is for you sir. I only chimed in to confirm that if you have an option go active, do it and go 3 way.

I'd gag too if I had to drink starburnt or charbucks or whatever you call that. lol it's the best I have at work.

My roomie is a WoW addict. I play the game, but I'm by no means dedicated at all. That is just plain crazy. At times I miss my younger days of watching to gorgeous women get freak nasty in person on my bed..

That happens at my company every other month. Two individuals held a several day convorsation hitting reply to all, sad. It's endless amounts of funny for me. we have about 20K employees I think... not sure exactly though.

I'm struggling with my choices. I really would like to go 3 way but it's nearly impossible with my situation currently. I need to find an answer to my quest for 2 way midbass myself. If I was going 3 way though, SLS.
