What brand is it? And what is the serial # just use xxx for the last 3 digits and I will look it up.
It has the pre-war commercial grip plates and the trigger has been changed to the long trigger by the looks.

your friend needs to check his facts, texas has one of the highest rates of violent crime and property crime in your country. this probably has more to do with median income than whether or not people carry guns. |

And regardless, you've ignored my final point. If guns are outlawed, then the only people with guns are the criminals. Illicit drugs are also illegal, but that doesn't stop people from finding ways to get them.

According to the 2004 US Census, Texas was ranked 12th out of 50 states for violent crimes. Sorry, but 12th cannot be called "one of the highest rates of violent crime and property crime in your country." And, Texas has the second highest GDP of all the states (source), so your income remark is bullshit as well! So you've been called out on two accounts. Maybe you ought to do a little more research next time before spouting crap that you cannot support! |

I knew all to well Obama's stance on gun control and the 2nd amendment.
I voted for McCain even though he was a supporter of the original AWB.

@madmax,
it's true i did a bit of generalizing but as far as i'm concerned, i'm not wrong. nope, i didn't spend a lot of time studying the stats, you're right, 12th is not one of the highest but it's in the top quarter- so my apologies for that giant leap texas has a big population, so sure it has a big gsp, but gsp per capita is below average. what i was really talking about median family incomes, in which texas is below the national average. the reason i brought this up was to illustrate the correlation between crime and lower incomes- it's the same in canada, i'm sure it's the same in texas. |

The stock comes off to make an excellent pistol-gripped HD shottie when loaded up with 3" Magnum 00-buckshot shells! Should cost around $320, but prices have gone up. Check out the next SAXET Gun Show at the Freeman Coliseum 6-7 December, there still may be some deals. Cheers! M2 |

Convince yourself all you want, but once again you are not basing your assumptions on facts and once again you are wrong! Texas is ranked 20th out of 50 for per capita GDP based on United States Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) data from 2006. I am sure you can do the math, 20th out of 50 is not below average. I am sure you would be upset if someone generalized that all Canadians are pacifists, boring, uncritical (with a few exceptions), socialist, anti-gun, non-patriotic, resentful towards success and are blindly and obsessively anti-American. Plus, you lack culture...have you ever heard of anyone eating at a Canadian restaurant or driving a Canadian car? I suspect you would be, and I could understand why. I was lucky enough to work with the Canadian military on several occassions while with NATO, and I am good friends with the Canadian liaison officer at the organization where I work; so I know those sterotypes aren't always true. So do us all a favor and quit making generalizations about a place you most likely have never been to and one you know nothing about. Or, if you feel you must continue to do so, try doing a little research first and back up your claims with facts. Otherwise, you just end up looking like a jerk!

And thus ends today's lesson on the origins of the quote, "Don't mess with Texas!". LOL!

Ok gun nuts i have a few questions for you.
Here where i live we have a real hard time trying to qualify for a thing called a shooters license. However, in CA anyone with id can get a gun and shoot till your finger don't work no more at a shooting range. Anyway my question is.... With a glock 9mm, when you put a new cart/mag in and take off the safety, is it true that you have to cock it before you can fire? Otherwise there would be no round in the chamber right? Police where i live use revolvers so they can just draw and shoot if need be. With a glock you cant just draw and shoot, you need to cock it first. So if someone is pointing a revolver at a policeman and a policeman has only a glock 9mm on him, technically wouldnt the person with the revolver win because the policeman has to get his gun out of his holster, then using two hands cock the weapon before he can fire, whereas the person with the revolver just needs to point and shoot. Am i right? If so, why the f do the police here want to "upgrade" from a revolver to a glock (apart from being able to have more ammo in the gun)? Or do people with a glock leave it cocked in there holster with safety on? Just wondering because i love guns, i don't own any but have always appreciated the US approach to the right to bear arms.

So do you have to cock it first to put that bullet in the chamber and then walk around with cocked gun?
