Tried to call, but no answer. CZ 97B if you are man enough. I've qualified with the M1911A1 about a dozen times. You reckon the CZ 97B requires more of a man? How many times have you qualified with a .45, Harry? I'm taking my 85 year old dad to the shooting range next week to shoot some pistols. One we'll take is a 1911 that he hand built. Match grade barrel, adjustable trigger, etc. Very accurate. The military grade ones are puposefully set up "loose", they rattle when you shake them, but it's on purpose so they don't jam with a grain of sand. This one is tight and more accurate, and is sweet! He's been promising it to me for years, but I'm in no hurry for it. I hope he gets to shoot for sor many more years before it passes to me. I've been reloading some lately, and need to burn through some .38's that are reloads I don't like. I'll load them back up with something better. Reloading make the .45 much more reasonable to shoot at the range as well! The 9mm Makarov is super cheap when you buy in 500 round quantities, and good for plinking. My brother's trying to talk me out of the Colt .45 idea and into a Browning Hi Power 9mm. He's got me thinking about it, that's for sure - especially when the cost of ammo comes up. How much would it take to get started in the reloading process? Are you looking for CC? If so, something other than the Colt is advisable unless you are a really big guy in baggy clothing. I'd go with the .40 rather than a 9mm. I've been reloading for many, many years. The initial costs are a bit steep, but amortize quite nicely with the amount of rounds expended. Plus, it is hobby that lets you tailor what you chamber to its specific task. You will be able to create boutique loads not available over the counter. Here's some prices. Just remember that automation costs more money, but takes a lot of the repetitive (boring) motion out of the task. http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/ci...ding-Equipment My daughters liked shooting the .45 more than they liked shooting the 9mm. |

I always hear that but if this is not a short barrel tactical shotgun, it is going to be pretty unwieldy in the average home. Any idea that this will shoot a wide pattern in a home is simply stupid. This is just a musket at close range. You also have the problem of where you would store it safely and still be able to get to it. I think home defense starts with a big dog that is a light sleeper. I'm really lucky then, got two of those buggers! Keeping a 12 gauge under your pillow couldn't be that comfortable, but I suppose there are those that do it! I'll just leave mine in the case in the closet. When I was in Md I kept my 97 riot gun under the bed and a 1911 in the night stand drawer but we didn't have kids and discouraged people from bringing them around. I have grand children now and I keep all of my guns locked up. (Florida law) although getting to my Ruger and my Baretta is a 2 second thing. I could tell you the trick but I would have to kill you ;-) The shotgun and M1A are in another locked cabinet, hidden pretty well but not really a 2 second thing, more like 10. I like building hidden compartments in things I make. You should have lived in a better neighborhood when you were in Maryland. |

Almost no one from SC goes to Myrtle Beach, however. Tourist trap. Hilton Head is the upscale beach destination here. Edisto Island is a quieter, family kind of beach. We'll be on the water in Charleston in about 24 hours. I'll wave in your son's general direction. Did he move down for Boeing? |

But there are lots more places to try. If the Wreck was open for lunch we'd go there too, but they're a dinner only place. |

He moved down because he got sick of Massachusetts. He and his wife lived together for a year or so while he was in the Navy, stationed down there. They loved it. Plus, he suffers from severe asthma and there's something up here in MA that constantly triggers it. He has far fewer and milder attacks down there. They have two girls aged 13 and 8. A year ago his wife had twins, one girl, one boy. So, he has his hands full now at 39 years old. I am looking forward to taking a trip down there this fall and scope out the marinas and boats. Mrs.E. is finally starting to agree that we don't need a place as large as we have up here in MA. |

I have an email addy for him somewhere, but I don't know if it is still a good addy. He doesn't seem to post in rec.boats.cruising anymore but, then, hardly anyone does. Larry live along the river in Charleston. ----------------------------------------------------- Is Larry the guy who rebuilt vintage Merc outboards or something? I remember someone who seemed to have parts for almost anything from the 40's or 50's. This was back when rec.boats was a boating newsgroup, of course. No, different guy. Larry was the guy who maintained church organs and had what appeared to me to be a good handle on things mechanical and electrical, especially as related to boats. He also was a huge conspiracy freak, but he was funny and a good story teller. -- I'm a liberal because the militant fundamentalist ignorant science-denying religious xenophobic corporate oligarchy of modern Republican conservatism just doesn't work for me or my country. |

A little hot, but they'll get used to it. In downtown Charleston, Hank's and Coast are two good restaraunts. We have reservations at both this weekend. My wife loves the Seafood ala Wando at Hank's. But there are lots more places to try. If the Wreck was open for lunch we'd go there too, but they're a dinner only place. The most memorable restaurant I went to in Charleston was named SNOB. I liked the name and we had a very nice dinner there. The Wreck is where the locals go for seafood if they don't cook there own. |

My memories of Larry are.. he was very proud of his hometown (Charlston?) and only too happy to offer advice to visitors. he repaired church organs for a living he drove an older Mercedes diesel sedan that he converted to burn used frying oil that he collected from local restaurants he worked his way onto a rich mans yacht with his electronics talents and general handyman skills... probably learned in his navy days he never forgave the Israelies for shooting up an American destroyer during one of the wars over there. |
