I had a model 95 for a while I picked up in an estate sale. Good lord that thing was a beast . I shot a couple ground hogs at about 3/4 of a mile with it once. There was nothing left Watched my uncle split bowling pins at 1000 yds with it open sights I ended up selling it because I had no where to shoot it, and $35 a shell was a little too pricy for plinking Yea, the ammo is quite expensive at that point. My baby's are all .22 rifles for the 50 foot*. What kind of rifles are those? big ones, lol... the above mentioned 95... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

kel-tech p3at or the new ruger lsp, same caliber and all but the same gun. both .380, both will fit in your pocket. i have the kel tech. can't limp wrist it, but otherwise a decent backup. under $300. if you are thinking walther, the new ppswould be my choice. can be had in 9mm or .40 s&w. alot of firepower in that slim ass frame. anything from kahr, if you have enough budget. but then again, the walther is close. any compact 1911. kimber aegis is a good one in 9mm, or any one in .45 acp/GAP though with your size, the pps in 9mm would be just about perfect. i've gotta run, time for class wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee The springfiled armory xd's would be a nice choice as well they come in .45 acp, .40 sw, and 9mm and are offered in a standard 5", compact 4", and a subcompact 3" . http://www.springfield-armory.com/xd.php I love me some springfield lol nothing compact about an xD or a glock or anything along those lines, lol. just because you hack off 2" from the barrell and 2" from the grip doesn't make it compact, IMO. when the slide is still the same height and WIDTH (which is what causes the bulge), just what is compact??? but that's just my gripe. plus i don't like the grip. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

google. i'm sure it's some kind of background check adn i can't remember if texas is a shall issue or may issue... texas is a shall issue, so the goverment has to have valid reasons to deny. http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administratio...rds/chl/faq.htm that should help. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Mesa is right next to me, let me know if there's anything I can do You could pay for it :doit: :doit: lol.... yeah tom, you did ask. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

but even the marauder looks old. it's a cool car, but it's not that cool. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the big one, is hand crank moved. arm no where near blade. reason for the big shield? sometimes it'll throw stuff.....hard, lol!! i'll try and get some pics of the ceiling...... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

then avalanche, gm or not. i know you can find one in your price range, has lockable storage and the midgate is a useful sumbitch when need be. and with the built in cover, gas mileage is above average, 20mpg or so. and it's a truck, with a real backseat. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

^^^ i'm with him... oh, and if the .38sp is a revolver, adn the 9mm a semi, then technically you only picked up on pistol today. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

let me put my kel-tek in my pocket, in it's holster and see if you can see it, lol. it's tiny, weighs less then 9 ounces and in stuff like cargo shorts/pants, you'll forget it's there. but it's a backup. but for me, it's primary as illinois doesn't have legal conceal carry. so i tote that around, been pulled over with it in my pocket, never even got asked about it. class was cool. learning spinning side and hook kicks, as well as shuffle side and hook. did a lil jiu jitsu, drill 1 and 2. fun stuff, yes it is!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

honda ridgeline. similiar to an avalanche (which is another option, even if you don't like gm). but the ridgeline has gotten some great reviews, is acrewcab, gets respectable mileage, has a lockable trunk in the bed and its a honda. dunno if one will fit in your budget, but it's worth a look, especially if your liking honda right now. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

oh hell no!! not on this table, lol..... you'd be more man then me to try. less man then me after, lol.... it's fun doing stuff like this. i get frustrated if it isn't perfect, then i remind myself most people will see the end result 20' in the air, 50' away from it at 35mph on average. so perfection isn't needed, lol. but pride is a bitch. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

firearm T.O.P. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

might have to grab me a llama.... ryan2, what is international style then? i thought it was 3p? i wanna try 3 gun...combat pistol, rifle, shotgun. that looks like a blast...pun intended wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

everything amped? seperate or one? battery/electrical in good shape? sub amp might have short going into it or out? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

nuts not needed sir, lol. i have a key to the shop, we could just use it after hours. save those nuts for something else. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yep... coast to coast signs. shop is cool, could be better, lol. thanks tom, though awesome is probably a bit much. maybe friggin' above average?? lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol, and you shoot competitively. would be fun to watch you shoot with no glasses, though i'm sure with them on, you pwned me good. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I would scare the crap out of myself if I tried shooting without my glasses God help anyone else around that would be worth paying for, lol. hey, you have a llma .45 right? is it a micro 1911? i can pick on up bnib for $395, it's a double stack, holds 10. but i'm iffy on llama and their reliability. any info? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol, and you shoot competitively. would be fun to watch you shoot with no glasses, though i'm sure with them on, you pwned me good. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee You'd smoke my ass on the range if we shoot a plates match or something like that, but if we shoot international style.... 3 position? i did that in highschool, albeit 25 meters only. and .22lr rifle only. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...=17451&st=0 build log, with crappy cell phone pics!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

how about some random shop pics??? vacuum tank (capable of 30 psi of vacuum, dunno if that's alot, but the tank is big, lol) and the plastic oven/vacuum table (in foreground, see hose) that is used to form faces for signs. panel saw anyone?? that white plastic face is 7'x12' to give you an idea of size. 15' is the max. that roll of plastic? 9' long. a pair of dewalt radial arm saws. the one in the foreground is an 18" version IIRC. i'll have to put a tape to it, lol. the rear one is 12". the front one has a cutting range of 24", the rear one is about 18". these are used to cut the aluminum extrusion we use to build some of the cabinets done. you can see our 10' pneumatic shear and our 10' brake in this photo over the top of a frame i'm currently building for a flex face (big piece of sturdy canvas type material) sign, 97" x 220". that's 2x2x1/4" angle. yep, teh shear, the brake and our paintbooth that even jim's van will fit in without a problem, lol. it's ~25' and just over half as tall. that's it for now. there is still the wood shop, but all it has is a standard 10" tablesaw with a huge work table. the graphics department, but it's tiny and the girl is ugly (even with ryan2's eyesight, lol) and some other little tools. we have three esab wire feed welders. two set up to switch between spool and stinger, alum and steel and one set up for just steel. we also have a miller tig, but we don't use it. also a 4' shear, powered by your legs. it's a decent setup. i'll add more as we build stuff worth posting. hope you enjoyed the build log, lol. so far. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

part II uh oh...it's tacked and starting to look like something. that B is just three pieces. those bends are fun!! some return material marked for...... the finger brake. that's the start of... my O face??? no, i got... BO!!! that's two of the 4 letters that have to be built for this particular set of letters. i'll take photos of the completed Y and S tomorrow. they still have to be routed out and painted, and a trim cap made for each one. again, more detail later. trim cap being put together by barry for a different set of letters. he can have that job!!! to be continued.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
