I like my Blackhawk, with the interchangable cylinders in 43 ACP and 45 Long Colt. Best of both worlds. Have to admit it usually gets fired in 45 LC. The custom-built 1911 with adjustable trigger and match barrel gets most of the ACP ammo.

That, of course, would be *45* ACP. 43 would rattle around a bit. :-)

Thanks. I didn't want to 'question' it, but that's what I thought. Doesn't the LC cost a bit more
than the ACP? And, is it as available? I've never seen any at WalMart, for example, but I've found
the ACP there several times.

The advantage of any particular caliaber is gone when there is no ammo available. Stick with
the basics, 9mm Luger/9x19, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, .223/5.56 and .30-06.

Probably more .308 now than .30-06. Nicer round for semi auto rifles,
shorter action required. Actually for a bolt action would also be better
because of case length.

"Wal Mart always seems to have .223 and 30-06. I don't see .308 there very often, and I've seen
30-30 only once in the past many months. I bought a box. Now I can see if the Model 94 will shoot.
It was a gift from my next door neighbor, but I've never fired it.

I'm thinking of giving it to my grandson when he makes Eagle Scout.

It's not as common, but is available. Reloading does the trick.

I've not gotten into that. Have to get over the electric RC planes first. Haven't gotten one of them
either, but I'm spending a lot of time looking. I like this one:

But it's pretty big. I'd like to be able to fly it at the local elementary school. The playground
there's not very big.

The wingspan is fairly large (59"), but it will fly pretty slow and land probably at a fast walk to a trot. If you pull the trigger (ha!) on this, get an extra battery so you can charge one while flying the other, or you be waiting a while between flights.

Yeah, good idea. Do they make chargers that will operate from a car battery? My little helicopter
charges from a USB port on the computer, and I've got a cigarette lighter to USB adaptor (used for
Verizon cell phones), but I don't know if they make that type interface for the LiPo batteries in
the RC planes.

From a casual look at the plane you linked, it comes with a charger that has large alligator clips for hooking to your car battery. An AC charger would be another extra charge option, although if you wanted one (and it sounds like you don't) I'm not able to recommend one right now. I'd have to do a bit of research.

My planes (and expertise) are gas and glow powered. I do have a couple of small, electric park flyers but they are older nicad powered models. Nothing with LiPo or brushless. There is some cool stuff out there in electrics, and many people are moving to that, but I still love the smell and mess of internal combustion RC. :-)

I flew lots of Ucontrol as a kid. After I came back from school and
service, my brother and his kids had lived in the house I grew up in. Only
2 engines that were still there was an .049 diesel and a .049 outboard.
Still have them. Should put them on display in the office.
