Shooters

I don't collect SPOONS but I do use one to eat my Chili , and once in awhile some soup too.

If you have spare SPOONS in your collection please take them to the Salvation Army , they need them so the less fortunate people can eat their MRE's.

i love to spoon. And I like walks on the beach at sunset, rainbows, and puppies. And ballroom dancing. With spoons.

I'm sensitive...

Say that again and I will hit you with my purse!

Fools! When the economy collapses and Armageddon ensues the unit of trade will be spoons! I have a couple of cases buried in the back yard... are YOU ready?

.45's are so last century

Its hard to beat a Kimber Custom. Accurate out of the box...

Let this be a lesson to the rest of you spoon collectors; if you take off your tinfoil hats -- even for just a few seconds -- the brain-washing radio transmissions the government is bombarding the population with, will get you!

I'm going to start wearing two tinfoil hats all the time, just to be extra safe!

No worries, mate. No one has gotten to me.

Jeezus H. Frickin' Christ, it's easy to get some of you boys wound up about your guns. I'm just yankin' yer chains - do a cursory search on "Jeff Higgins" and "gun", ".45 Colt", "CCW", "Second Ammendment", "self defense", "black powder", "muzzle loader", "single action", "cast bullets", or any combination thereof. Let us know what you find... Snowman, you of all people should know better...

[nostatic]

don't try and cover up your spoon-luvin' gun-fearin' ways now Higgins. Embrace your inner liberal so we can beat the crap out of you. You know you want it...

[Jeff Higgins]

Supe has accused me of suppressing my inner liberal. I was as crushed then as I am now... They may not let me back in the club... Will I have to replace my Mobile Pegasus with a rainbow? Oooooh nooooo... Somebody help me... I just can't walk on the beach, my corks load up and I fall down, stuffing sand in my muzzle... (Clicking heels together on said corks)"there's no place like NASCAR, there's no place like NASCAR..."

Gun control advocates are evil and should be banned. We have a Second Amendment for a reason. Unless you are part of the elitist ruling class, you should support the right to bear arms.

Yea, the lack of loud noises is rather alien, especially after being used to firearms. However, when I take a step back and think about it, it amazes the hell out of me. Some bent composite materials, a synthetic string, pushing a round piece of carbon fiber at 300fps through objects is pretty amazing. I swear, every time I shoot my bow, I'm amazed. Today's bows are engineering marvels, IMO.

Oh, bull*****. Our government is here to protect our individual rights; how in the hell are personally owned firearms supposed to do that? Our government, in its wisdom, grants us the rights we deserve; no more, no less. We should all be happy with that and just trust them to do the job they have sworn to do; to look out for our best interests and to legislate accordingly.

Personally owned firearms are for the protection of individuals from the government, to which you refer, that no longer gives a flip about your rights.

When was the last time the legislative or executive branch of the government did anything to protect individual rights. To the contrary, they routinely pass laws which violate your individual rights, starting with stealing what you make every year under the threat of the use of what?.....you guessed it......a gun!

Our government did not grant any rights to citizens of this country. The Founders recognized rights which they believed already existed and were granted by our Creator. The Declaration of Independence outlines the belief and The Constitution details the "protection of", not the "granting of" our rights. There is a huge difference.

I'm sure that an uprising of working class people feeling oppressed sounded like a great idea at the time. Then they granted the government the power to take care of everyone "equally" LOL. Then their saviors established a totalitarian regime that brutally oppressed, murdered and tortured millions of people. This is what leads to the Stalins and Hitlers of the world and the disappearance of individual freedom.

Oh yeah, that "government will take care of everything" crap works really well!

It would help if you would learn to read more and comment less!

Take Jeff's advice above and do a search on his previous posts. You are taking his comments seriously, when he was not serious.

Did some plinking at the club range yesterday...now enjoying the faint aroma of the Hoppe's #9 that is still on my hands. I wonder why some perfume maker hasn't picked up on what a pleasant smell that is to guys...

In that case, I am thankful and my comments have served to reinforce Jeff's point. I am also thankful that Competentone has never posted after misreading someone's post. I guess that's why he's Competentone.

Regarding a 1911, .22LR makes shooting affordable.


.45 ACP makes shooting enjoyable. I love my 1911

.45 junkie, eight Colt, a Remington Rand, four off-brand. I'm not advocating them for investment purposes but it's hard to lose money on a Colt 1911A1 bought right.

I have a few of those spoons with a Horsey on them as well.

I can't believe there are so many gun owners on a car forum. I thought I would be safe from all the macho gun talk. I can see no valid reason for people to own guns in this day and age. You can buy your meat at any supermarket, eliminating the "need" to go out and kill some cute, defenseless denizen of the woods. Self-defense is just a "911" call away; your personal safety is best left to professionals trained in such matters. Second Ammendment? It does say "militia", doesn't it? There is no individual right to own a firearm; they should all be turned in to responsible authorities as soon as possible. I find it simply appaling, this culture of guns here in the United States.

I agree

Everyone knows only psychopaths and wackos own guns. I'm glad I live in a place where everyone is intelligent and enlightened, and just.

We don't need guns here.

My favorite spoon with a horsey on it:



The gun and load the .45 ACP was designed to emulate; the great grandaddy of them all, the .45 Colt. Third generation Peacemaker, used as an almost daily carry gun for about 15 years now (replacing a too valuable first generation). Carried while backpacking, hiking, fishing, and hunting. It's killed two decent mulies and one realy nice pronghorn; I suspect it might do rather well on your average thug, too.

Standard load(s) consist of the RCBS .45-255K cast from wheel weights and weighing about 265 grains, lubed with my home-made lube, and loaded over either 17 grains of 2400 or 40 grains of Goex FFFg, both lit with a CCI 350 magnum primer. Either load just cracks 900 fps and will shoot lengthwise through a mature mulie buck. We don't need no stinkin' autos 'round here... (I must confess I do have a GI spec Springfield 1911, though.)

[on2wheels52]

Nice to show the SAA with five rounds, some of the kids may not know that's all they should be loaded with. I've got a first in .44-40, maybe 60% condition, and a pretty minty third in .45. A great variation of the internal combustion engine.
