    I bet that was a handful! I am assuming that it had a muzzle brake on it?

    They came with and without brakes, plus different sight options. His is just a basic stainless.

    Just got the Aimpoint micro. I need to take this out and mill off the front sight or find a reasonable gas block. I'm not adding backup sights to this. It's going to be my bedside "bump in the night" pistol.

    Would a .45 work as well? Seems like it would and give your thumb even more surface area.

    I'm sure any straight walled cartridge would work. I found out by accident, I had been shooting 9mm and my daughter came out and asked to shoot my Mark I. She went through a full brick of Automatch, and by the 20th mag I reloaded for her my thumb was desperate for relief! I looked at the box of empty 9mm brass sitting there and thought "hmmm, I wonder if one of those will help?"

    I don't think the people here would give them up very easily. I've recently noticed more and more people in VA getting the don't tread on me license plate. I also see a lot of American and Confederate flags being flown on trucks.

    That really sucks. A couple months ago I read about the gun ban in "Americas First Freedom," a NRA magazine. I take it you shoot clay birds? What kind of guns do you have? Do we have a shotgun thread?
