Nice boat! *Hope you thaw out soon :-)

And since today is a nice, bright, sunny day, I may have to take the Guzzi down to the gun show in
Fredericksburg and see how many non-dealer, unlicensed dealer dealers I can spot out behind the
woodshed.

Actually, my wife wants a smaller pistol. Might try to find a more compact 9mm.

Be sure and jump through the "loophole!"

PS
Seriously consider a .380 for the little woman. My DIL just got one
and loves it. She isn't that girly, but KAHR and Taurus both make a
pink model.

Kahr makes a 9mm smaller than the ppk and many other 380's

And is certainly made for the (much) smaller hand. It hurts like hell
to shoot, if it fits in your hand like a derringer.

You should try one out. It might surprise you.

I have and they catch me right in the meat of the thumb. Hurts like
hell. Ditto the Glock subcompacts; 26, 27, 29, 30, etc. .

You ought to try a little.25 auto. They're definitely meat slicers

Especially my wife's Bauer

http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/9/...g/400px-Nickel...

That's a cute little bugger! My North Carolina brother bought a .25 for his wife. I can't remember
the make, but it's not a common name.

Ammunition for it can be found on the web.

Yes, it can. But because it's center fire and rare, it's even higher
yet. But I've got a couple hundred rounds, so we're good with that.

I'm not obsessive like Herring, though. I don't, for example, drive

After seeing this confession, the only conclusion one can come to is
that you are an obsessive compulsive crazed gun nut.

Pretty expensive too... almost 800 from what I saw.

My neighbor spent more like $1400 for his compact 9mm Kimber.

I believe it. Kimbers are expensive, but if someone gave me this one, I'd take it:

Or this one, for my wife, naturally:

Stay tuned for the Herring Family Shoot-Out.
Who will survive?
Who cares?

This from the guy who racks and fires his pistol in the house while on
the phone, just to play and impress somebody. Sounds like you are a
welcome accident waiting to happen, not John.

There's that great Christian compassion at work!

What makes a "big foot" a big foot as opposed to just a 60 Merc?

The big foot has the next larger lower unit. A 40-60 BF uses the 75-90
foot.

Got it, but why? Is it for more severe service, etc?

I've seen a claim that it will get your boat up on plane quicker, although you'll probably sacrifice a couple miles an hour on the top end.
I liked the heavier duty lower end...just in case I ever hit anything.

Nice little fish & ski. Why did you get the Big Foot? They are for

trolling larger boats, sailboats, and pontoons, right? Are your seats

really black?


Both dealer and manufacturer recommended the 60 Big Foot. They claim it's the most popular outboard for my boat.
I've read other articles that also recommend this motor for wide stern boats... and mine does look wide for a 16.5 footer. Kicks up quite a wake at low speeds.
I suppose it provides low end power to get a water skiier up and going
Maybe that's a trade-off for a smaller OB so far off of the 90HP rating.

I've seen those 'pinkies'. Cute. My sister-in-law, whom I mentioned in a post to Eisboch, has a
PK380 by Walther. Very nice pistol. But, I don't like the idea of another ammunition size to be
concerned with, and I can see no advantages to the .380 over the 9mm. Right now I'm loaded with
.357, .38, 30-30, .22, 12 ga, and 9mm. Don't need another one!

The lighter load of the .380 might suit her better. The really small
9mm's are hard to keep on target when you fire some quick shots!

Don't want to go to another caliber. The S&W 39-2 that I just got fits pretty well, and isn't as
heavy as the M&P9.
