Quote from Drybones: “I bought a .32 thinking it might be light enough to carry at 6oz, but I don't, and probably wont as long as I'm not concerned for safety. A .32 to me is about the equivalent of a flat rock in your pocket. I use the ammo in this video to improve the punch...lot of good it'll do me sitting on the stereo speaker. youtube.com/watch?v=Lf-IF1emoJI ” .32 is just...well....ugh. Seriously ugh. I suppose if you had to use a .32, that Beretta is probably the lightest. I'd go with a cl…

Quote from Bo Peep: “Thank y’all for the kind thoughts. I will be fine no matter what happens. I’m just sad about my work family being broken up and having to leave the hospital that I love. ” If you are thinking of relocating....St. Louis has huge medical complexes that need RN's, particularly specialty RN's(labor/delivery, cardiac, etc..) and the bonuses, salaries and benefits are top notch. Two children's hospitals, one with a Level I trauma center...

Quote from SarcasmTheElf: “For those interested a good friend who's an instructor sent me the link below showing the results of ballistics testing of many of the more popular rounds on the market. As he put it: "The name of the game is a combination of expansion and penetration. We want the penetration to fall into the FBI acceptability range of 12-18". This is what gets good terminal energy transfer while reducing the risk of over penetration. For example your average FMJ 9mm will easily pass t…

Quote from max.patch: “bob horner!!! just checked his stats -- if you told me he only hit 218 homer runs (not counting 31 in japan) i woulda said that number was too low. injuries...only averaged 102 game per year over his 10 year career. picture perfect swing. 1978 rookie of the year despite only playing 89 games -- runner up? -- ozzie smith who played in 159. oh well -- at least he's in the college hall of fame. (obviously doesn't belong in the baseball hall of fame). trivia -- wore jersey num…

Quote from Bo Peep: “All my plans are up in the air as my employment status is uncertain. My unit is being closed and the nurses may or may not be offered jobs at another facility. Although, if they go by seniority and experience, I won’t have an issue but you never know. Sadly, some of my friends and coworkers are SOL. I had vacation approved for March to finish the BMT but that may not be honored. It’s been a stressful week but things happen for a reason. If I’m laid off, I might thru hike the…

Quote from Astro: “Alan Trammel the best all around pure short stop of my life time, finally got in via the Vetrans Committee, so Ozzie can stay. I can not see why any GM wanting to win would pick Ozzie Smith or Barry Larkin over him, but the BBWA sure did. Not that they don't deserve to be in the HOF, but it was ridiculous that he wasn't. ” Ozzie Smith was the greatest defensive shortstop in the history of baseball. His dWAR is impeccable. Please take a close look at their respective stats. Tra…

Quote from Astro: “My 2018 HOF Ballet (well if I had one) Chipper Jones Jeff Kent Billy Wagner Curt Schilling Jim Thome Vladimir Guerrero Edgar Martinez Fred McGriff Mike Mussina Larry Walker Would have liked to have potentially voted for the following, but the limit is ten. Scott Rolen Jamie Moyer Omar Vizquel ” No to Chipper, Kent, Wagner, McGriff, Walker and Mussina. For sure no freaking way Rolen or Vizquel. But, I am a curmudgeon...

Quote from Dan76: “Quote from Bo Peep: “Quote from jimmyjam: “Quote from Bo Peep: “I went to a local range since ladies shoot for free on Monday, minus the rental-gun fee and ammo.. I was very nervous and jumpy, probably not a good thing when shooting a gun. The first one was a Glock 42 (a 380) and it was all wrong for me. The recoil made it difficult to hit the target at 15 feet. All my shots were in the throat or above the head. It jammed on the third round which slightly freaked me out. I had…

You probably were "limp wristing" the gun. The fact that the Bersa jammed as well leads me to that conclusion. In other words, your wrist is flexing with the recoil, absorbing it, and depriving the gun of the energy needed to fully cycle another round. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limp_wristing youtube.com/watch?v=Ka556--WF2o

Quote from Drybones: “Quote from Bo Peep: “No matter what people feel about Miss J, what he’s doing is wrong. He can be targeting anyone...good or bad...justified or not. ” There's nothing wrong with that guy a good a$$ whuppin wouldn't take care of. ” Actually, repeated beat-downs have done nothing to deter this batshit. If you could beat the crazy out of somebody...

Quote from Tin Man: “Quote from max.patch: “maybe he just wants his money back from his contribution to her "fund my thru hike and then i'm gonna write a book about it" GoFundMe money grab a few years ago. ” I made the mistake of mentioning her 'gofundme but i am not really going to write a book project' to someone who knew her and nearly got my head handed to me.
