Couldn't stand it anyl onger so I took the new XD out in the snow and let loose a few rounds.

Very nice shooting weapon! The ease of field stripping is off the chart. My 1911 is a pain in the ass to field strip compared to the XD.

I highly recomend this pistol for anyone who is in the market.

Next up:

Rock River AR-15. :D

Congrats on picking up a fine piece of American made hardware. however, my question is why the choice of a Rock River?

Why a Rock River?

Well, by most of what I have read and researched, they are considered one of the best made AR's available. Do you have feelings for or against Rocker River made AR's? I welcome all feedback.

Don't have any personal feelings for or against a RRA's product that I can base on a hands on experience, I was only asking why you would choose to buy one of their products over any of the other fine weapons available to Mr.Consumer? I own a S&W M&P15 and have been more than happy with it from day one. I am some what embarrassed to tell people what I payed for t these days as the prices have gone through the ceiling. If I was in the market today for a gas gun I would probably stick with the S&W but that is only because of a personal hands on experience that has been nothing but positive. The dilemma today for me would be to buy a gas gun or a piston gun. Faced with that decision I think I believe that my next AR style weapon will definitely be a piston driven weapon. Clean and reliable. Probably go with the Barrett but once again, personal choice. WAY to much to choose from my friend. Damn I love living in America!

I recently sold my two AR15's. One was a RRA Entry Tactical, the other a S&W MP15. As far as the rifles go for the most part they are the same quality, but the trigger on te RRA is worlds ahead of the S&W. My favorite was the RRA, and if I ever buy another AR it will be a RRA.

DC says it's delivered, and I got a package slip in my mailbox, I'll be picking it up tomorrow when the office opens.
 
Okay, picked up the box on the way to work, right when the office opened. Everything looks okay from the outside.

I'm super busy this week, with this stupid Charette at school, and I have a huge bid due on Monday for work. I'll probably be working this weekend. I will do my best to have my P&T's posted by Friday night so the package can go out Saturday or Monday.

I'm sorry if there is any delay, this is just a crazy week and weekend.

Sounds good man! Just let us know when you're ready!
 
Well, I got the rifle scoped tonight. Tomorrow I am going to the range to get a 100 yard zero on it. Then home to get a dope calculator going and get all of that figured out. Hopefully Saturday or sunday I will hit the 1000 yard range with it.

Still haven't even opened it. I think i'll be home at like 7 or 8. Maybe not though.

I've almost got this bid done....gah work isn't supposed to be stressful!
 
Alrighty, here are the proposed P/T's

Put: Davidoff Millenium Lonsdale
Take:#23 AVO 80th

Put: Ashton VSG Illusion
Take: #70 Diamond Crown Maximus No. 5

Put: Padron 1964 Exclusivo Natural
Take: #46 Hemingway Signature Maduro

I think these are okay as far as value goes, but I'm not too good with rarity(I know hemi maddies are rare, but I dunno HOW rare). I have a rather warped sense of rarity seeing as I'm at Casa Fuente about every week...So, lemmie know if I made a Faux Pas.

Thanks guys!!!

The VSG and 1964 Trade look good, and value for valule the Davidoff looks good, however, there is already a Davidoff Millenium Lonsdale in the Pass. I'd Like to avoid putting multiples, if it's possible. Would you have anything else to put for the AVO 80th?
 
Whoops! My bad, guess I didn't read the list close enough! I'll dig through my sticks and see what I can come up with.

Then I'm goin' shooting.

How about we replace that trade with

P: Davidoff Millennium Robusto
T: #40 Graycliff Crystal Pirate

Awaiting advice!
 
Tried to order some high cap mags for my SW99 9mm today. They are not available/BO. I mentioned that they should tool up to cash in on the demand. The store said he thought the Govt was telling S&W not to manufacture them in plans for the coming laws. He may be a conspiracy freak.

I ordered a ProMag 16 round and a ProMag 20 round for it instead. I hope they feed well.
 
I used to have a couple promags for my Ar15, and they always ran great. hopefully the S&W99 mags they make will do the same for you.
B
 
Promag's are pretty much the only truely acceptable aftermarket mags in the mini 14 world as well, from what I read.

Crossroads of the west gun show tomorrow! Woohoo! Prolly just going to pick up a mag or 2 for the mini. Being so vain and all, I need me some stainless mags to match.

While I’m sure we share mostly the same philosophies regarding gun ownership, I will share a bit anyway.

Sorry California, I believe in knowing which firearms you have loaded ;) . I always keep my [defensive] weapons loaded, including one in the pipe. There is no use if it is not ready to save your life. An unloaded gun is like a car without gas, an empty fire extinguisher or a cell phone with a dead battery. I love living in Arizona because we haven’t yet abandoned common sense and the right to carry. I can walk/drive around all day long with a loaded pistol strapped to my hip and be perfectly legal. When I do, I can always tell who is visiting from California as they typically freak out. Of course, being that this now attracts attention to thieves, I will be utilizing my CCW for most of the time now.

It is my opinion that anyone thinking about buying a gun, especially first timers, actually feel and shoot the gun they intend to purchase. Just because you think a particular model is/looks nice, doesn’t mean it will feel right in YOUR hand. We tried every model of Glock for my wife and she hated them all. We put a Springfield XD in her hand and she loved it. Everyone’s hand is a little bit different. Try before you buy.

*Be mentally prepared to do what you have to do if the situation ever arises.

*Know your target, and what’s behind it, and what’s behind that.

*The size of my [meager] gun collection is limited for the same reason my cigars are limited-cash flow.

*Both the wife and I have our CCW licenses.

*Our CCW marksman test: wife 95%, myself: 100%, and beaten in speed and grouping only by a local police officer.

Anyone reading this, know that both my wife and I have guns,…loaded guns, know how to use them, and were someone to intrude into the sanctity of our home and we even feel the faintest inkling that spouse or baby is in any prospect of danger, one or both of us will continue to discharge rounds until the threat stops moving. Period. [Assuming you’ve made it past the dog]

In the same breath, we are very easygoing, peaceful citizens. However, there is something rather comforting in knowing that I have the ability (and responsibility) to guard the safekeeping of my family.

I am not a nut who thinks it’s cool to own a gun and can’t wait to blast some sucker. On the contrary, I hope I never have to use it. I hold great respect toward my firearm [it’s not a toy], and appreciaition for my fellow man. But when I have to, I will, and I will not hesitate.

Funny story: we’ve had a few times where we have actually drawn our weapons in the house. One time, the wifey and I were just about to fall asleep, when we heard an enormous crash which sounded like someone had come through the front door. In less than 1 second, both of us were scrambling to arm and take aim. With both of us going down the hallway, the wife covering the baby’s room and watching behind me, I swung my pistol around to the living room, only to see that our huge clock had fallen off the wall and crashed onto our A/V rack. I couldn’t sleep for an hour after that for the adrenalin. Good to know that we are mentally prepared though.

Edit to adjust a put and a typo.

The Davidoff has an MSRP of $4 than the Opus, so here again we run into the question of what value to put on rarity. The Davidoffs are available at every davidoff retailer still, and the RDC has multiple values based off of our MSRP and whether or not it was bought in the 3 cigar tin (which bumps MSRP $3). So if it was a tin release (and the same cigar) that puts us at a 17/16 with a dollar to makeup for rarity, which to me would be fine. I may be showing some bias here for the RDC :love: so if anyone else would like to pitch in their thoughts, you're more than welcome.

The first two are undoubtedly good.
The last two trades are both within .50 and look good to me.

Edit: Spelling
 
Another option is to send both to me. I will smoke each and decide if they are equal or one more valuable than the other. Just offering another option :whistling:
