Speaking of bread, who makes the best 9mm pistol under $1000?

I wouldn't say the best, but you can pick up a surplus Czech CZ-82 in
9mm Makarov for about $180. 12+1 capacity, accurate, easily stripped
and cleaned, and reliable. You can pick up 500 rds of ammo for a
little more than $200. Hard to go wrong.

Is that Czech ammo or Russian? We shot off some Russian rounds and I
don't know what they add to the powder load, but it's some greasy
stuff. Don't care for that ammo at all.

Russian ammo, especially the "Bear" brand, is notoriously dirty. The
Makarov cartridge was the SovBloc's response to the 9mm Luger round used
in non-communist Europe (and the rest of the world).

I have heard there can be good deals on those but I want to stick with
something mainstream for now.
A CZ75BD is on my short list.
I also have seen and liked:
Baretta 92FS

My youngest had one of those - didn't like it. Does not mean that
it's a lousy gun though - he just didn't like it. He is into hand
guns though so I trust his opinion. Other's seem to like it.

and Sig 26

Just me talking here, but I think Sig as a manufacturer is highly over
rated.

Take it for what you will.

Was it the Baretta your son didn't like? Ask him what he didn't like if
you don't mind.

I think with SIG you are paying mostly for bragging rights, but that
wont stop me from buying one if I take a fancy to it.

By the way, I read a few reviews on the FNP-9 and they were all
favorable. One guy thought the barrel was kind of thin and he would have
liked a longer sight radius. No one bitched about the trigger, in fact
they all liked it.

This is new Russian stuff, not surplus. Silver Bear and Brown Bear
ammo. It's not reloadable, but who cares? I made a typo on the
price, it's actually around $115 for 500 rounds of 94 gr. FMJ. Fun to
plink with, and the 82 cleans up in 5 minutes.

Looks like the Czech made S&B ammo is about $160 for 500 rounds. It
might be cleaner? Never tried it.

Most languages have variations of this.
Original speakers of a language are isolated by geography, and as the
language moves on elsewhere, they don't.
Probably in a hundred years they'll be studying the people of
Collinsville to figure out what the word "grits" means.

And they'll resolve it was the main ingredient found in conservative

Shouldn't really - half the time you are buying on reputation anyway
no matter what it is. And sometimes you pay for that.

I wouldn't turn one down certainly.

By the way, I read a few reviews on the FNP-9 and they were all
favorable. One guy thought the barrel was kind of thin and he would have
liked a longer sight radius. No one bitched about the trigger, in fact
they all liked it.

I liked it immediately. I have really stubby fingers and what with
the arthritis and joint swelling, the trigger action sold me right out
of the show case. And it fit my hand really nice with the optional
backstop.

I can see where the sight radius could be a problem, but I didn't find
it to be. I think a lot of that can come with how wide your eyes are
spaced - mine are wider than normal which provides a better
perspective. The barrel is thinner that you would expect, but not to
the point where I'd be concerned at all.

I honestly don't know - the Ranger Master bought it for spare ammo to
have around the club house just in case. When we started cleaning the
guns, almost everybody started bitchin' about getting the barrels
clean - like a black powder shotgun, had to soak the barrels for a few
minutes in hot water. :)

I can find out though next time I'm over there for the Turkey Shoot.

Here - learn you something.

Standard French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_French

Standard French (in French: le français standard, le français neutre
[Neutral French] or le français international [International French])
is an unofficial term for a standard variety of the French language.
It is a set of spoken and written formal varieties used by the
educated francophones of several nations around the world. Standard
French is also the language of dictionaries and higher education, and
the main register for the press, television and radio broadcasting in
addition to government and business-related communication. As such it
is a prestige dialect.

Acadian French: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadian_French

Since there was no linguistic contact with France from the late
eighteenth century until the twentieth century, Acadian French
retained features that died out during the French standardization
efforts of the nineteenth century.

Although many aspects of this language (vocabulary, alveolar "r",
etc.) are still common in rural areas in the West of France, any
speakers of other dialects of French, such as speakers of Metropolitan
French, i.e. the French of France, and even of other Canadian
dialects, have difficulty understanding Acadian French, even when
spoken slowly.

See also Chiac, a mixed language based on French and English, and
Saint Mary's Bay French, a distinct variety of Acadian French spoken
around Saint Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia.

OK, but the Germans still make the best bread in Europe.

No way. The Italians do.

Hell, the Italians can't even make decent pizza dough. The French do
better at bread than the damn Italians.
