    DONE Teeter Hang UPS Inversion Table Model F7000

    Funny thing, I had some guy from NYC inquiring about it by email from the craigslist ad. First he asked me how far I was outside NYC. On craigslist it's already shown on the map in the ad right down to my very local streets. I told him it was at least 2 hours drive minimum from the edge of NYC...

    DONE Teeter Hang UPS Inversion Table Model F7000

    Ah ! Conveniently, since I kept the manual strapped to it all these years, I can actually answer that because it says it on there. Actually though, I also found a PDF file with additional assembly info and such that says the same thing. Though it's put slightly differently on each, both...

    DONE Teeter Hang UPS Inversion Table Model F7000

    I have this listed elsewhere for $70, which I think is pretty reasonable, but I could do a little better for a NYGF member. With this you can hang upside-down ! It's good for you ! You can be Batman ! (ok ok.. this is pushing it). It's a pretty ok inversion tab I'm not certain but I think...

    New guy from OC

    @Darth is one of our resident Walther super-fans. Since you're new to the forum, and may not know this, now that I've 'tagged' him he will be alerted he'd been mentioned here and will likely view this thread. I'm sure there are other folks here who can do the same, but I'm also sure he can give...

    Or is it that Walther simply doesn't package a 10 round version at all ? I'm not familiar enough with the gun to know, but that is the case with some guns.

    I feel like you're either confused about some things, or perhaps just the way you wrote it out here it is confusing to me. I would not be surprised if your LGS gave you bad info or gave it to you in a confusing manner.. plenty of stories like that around here. When you say, "getting the...

    Crappy, Low-End Firearm Companies

    I think it would be funny to take the old 'Ring of Fire' 'Saturday night special' manufacturers and try to make it look cool with some kind of ring of fire logo around Jennings FIrearms, Jimenez Arms and Bryco Arms.

    Well, as I'm always a man of my word, I suppose I should get to this. I am however kind of annoyed and rather divided in doing so because the OP's post is kind of problematic ...eh, I guess I'll just get to that. This is probably going to be a long post, and likely a huge waste of time, buuuut...

    Deputy Uses Service Weapon to Kill Son, Wife, Self.

    Sad, but at least he wasn't there; that's something I guess. I suppose that all signs point to the mother/wife burying two sons instead of one if he had been there. I imagine it's an.. interesting (not sure that's really the right word here) thing to you, knowing people that may have known him...

    Deputy Uses Service Weapon to Kill Son, Wife, Self.

    Ugh.. I think I'd have to say the "cowardly way out" really doesn't even nearly cut it here. Deciding to kill himself alone, may (or may not in some cases) have been the cowardly way out. This guy though shot his wife, killed his son, and even killed the family dog (WTF ?). This was a complete...

    Size difference between K and L frame

    That said. @kev74 probably isn't totally crazy.. well, not about this anyway.. heh. Kev, I think it's possible you're just incorrect about the reason your trigger reach is different. I have to explain the process here. I took Kev's picture from above and used photoshop to do my best to match up...

    Size difference between K and L frame

    I'd have to disagree with you on that one (generally speaking between the frames having notable difference in trigger reach). On my Ks and Ls, with the same grips, my trigger finger can reach almost precisely the same spot. Actually, even one with different grips is the same spot. I've added...

    Size difference between K and L frame

    So, this is not a 100% perfect layout, but I think it still makes for a decent enough demo as both guns have the exact same grips. It's a quick and dirty cell phone pic I just took, and the guns are not aligned perfectly, but.. it's pretty close and, even with the slight imperfection, the quick...

    Glock 29sf

    Well, do you already own any other 1911 ? Every respectable.. eh.. pistoleer should have at least one 1911 in the collection (In HEX's very biased opinion). So, if not, there's your answer. :D

    Glock 29sf

    Unless the Delta Elite is specifically really what you want, personally I'd suggest possibly looking into some other options. This may be an unpopular opinion with some, I dunno, but in my opinion when you buy a colt 1911, these days, you are spending a lot on the name and not so much on quality...

    Glock 29sf

    I definitely get that. Though it was many years ago now, I had the exact same experience (shooting someone else's 10mm 1911) and got all hyped about getting a 10mm in the same way. At the time, a trainer, one wiser than me, talked me down and out of it; based largely on the argument that I was...

    Glock 29sf

    Also, your posts make it sound like you really want a 1911.. so just get a 1911. Also, always remember that sometimes the gun that the store is trying to sell you on is what they're having trouble selling for a reason.

    Glock 29sf

    This might be slightly off the topic you're looking for, but do you reload ? I'm not sure I'd really recommend a 10mm to someone who doesn't... unless perhaps money is no issue, but even then ammo availability can be an issue; especially in current times. If you're going to try to use a...
