    Which is why you need to buy your own gun and shoot it more often! Cheers! M2

    My bad, maybe we need a [sarcasm] [/sarcasm] code to impart the desired effect! And the more I grip an XDm, the more I like it. But y'all know I am a .45 Auto fan, and until Springfield produces an XDm in that caliber I will never seriously consider getting one. I just hope I find the Webley I am looking for before that happens, as contract renegotiation is going on and I am beginning to wonder if I am gonna have a job by the end of next month when this option year is over. Then again, if I have to take a contractor position in Afghanistan, maybe that'll give me a chance to legally convert my M70AB2 to full auto! Cheers! M2

    Probably just me, but I consider all of that stuff marketing hype. For the vast majority of shooters, it won't make a difference; but they think it will because the have a "match barrel, match trigger and match grade slide." And I am not the only one who thinks this way... I shoot as well with my 1911s that have matched barrels as I do the ones without, and I am more accurate with my XD than all of them (probably due to the fact that I have a thousand or more rounds through it than any of my 1911s). My XD is a nail driver, and as dependable as a hammer. It makes for a better handgun than anything the USAF ever issued to me! Cheers! M2

    Grab it, that's the best price you are going to find on a new XD45. There's been rumors of the XDm in .45 since the XDms first appeared. I think it may be out in the next year, but other than it being narrower at the top of the grip, and the fact that the grips are replaceable; there really isn’t that much difference from the original XD other than cosmetics. With the .40, there was a considerable increase in capacity; but I don’t think they will be able to squeeze more than a round or two if any into a XDm 45. And of course there is the additional $100 in price… Cheers! M2
  10. To use an old axiom, it's not the rank boys, it's the man! If you let some enlisted puke challenge your rank, they will do so and you deserve the embarrassment. Instead, get it in your fucking head right now that you are an officer in the USAF, and the days of the AFROTC or OTS bullshit are over! Man up and grow a pair! Maybe it's because I was prior, but I would not take any bullshit like that when I was a butter bar. Neither should anyone else. Don't be afraid to use your rank and/or authority, it is why you were given a commission. Cheers! M2

  12. Sounds like something you get when you win a wrestling title... (I was looking for a pic of some WWF bozo with a belt, but saw this one and had to use it!) Cheers! M2

    It's the same all over. But the last gun show I went to there was a vendor who had ammo at WalMart prices. By the way, were the WWB 50 or 100 count boxes? Cheers! M2
  14. Go JSTARS; because if this decision isn't fucking obvious, then you don't belong in the Herc.... Cheers! M2 p.s. Oh, and no offense to the E-8 bubbas out there...

    Damn, that's nice! I hope to find one similar. Can you take a closeup of the markings? Also, if you haven't found it yet, the British Gun Pub forum is a good source of info. There are a lot of Webley experts on there. Cheers! M2
  17. The story needs a few pics... And to SSgt Rhyner! Cheers! M2

  21. Oddly enough, we were just discussing George Friedman this morning...and as most long-time users of this forum know, I am a big fan of STRATFOR... Cheers! M2
  22. This is a bit old but I just found a hardcopy of this and thought it was worth sharing... On 10 July 2000, General Michael Davison, Director, Defense Security Cooperation Agency, opened the Second Annual Security Cooperation Conference in Crystal City, where he presented the theme "Perspective Is Everything" as an appropriate motto for the security cooperation community which finds itself confronted by a myriad of changes resulting from this new era of a global strategy accompanied by rapid changes in technology and new missions. Former Ambassador Edward L. Peck, the opening day speaker, seized on the conference theme on perspective to deliver a primer on the verities and vagaries of international relations. He delivered a powerful, insightful, thought-provoking and humorous lesson, using his "Peck's Postulates" to explain the four basic points that make every aspect of foreign affairs easily understandable. Consider yourself educated on foreign affairs! Cheers! M2

    Wrong emphasis... I never said I would never get another 1911, I hope to but for the time being my priority is to find a Webley .455. And Timbonez, inasmuch as I would like to see the Webley you got, I know I am just gonna MF you for getting one before me! Cheers! M2
