NWI INGO General Post - Part 11

[KLB]

Bunch of obviously impaired drivers on the road last night coming home from work around midnight. One doing 15mph on Rt 41, another straddling dotted whites, another hit the curb several times trying to go into the turn lane too early.

Got home and heard breaking glass right as I walked into the garage... some dumbass put his truck on the roof by driving up a tree in the neighbor's yard

Didn't get close enough to get a decent picture, was 5 houses up the road. Basically just a picture of red/blue/white color blobs in the distance.

 

[gunbunnies]

Sooooo I got to go shooting today and also got to play with a friends new pistol. It's a Sphinx Compact, and she was very interesting to shoot. No rise, no muzzle flip. Groups were nice and tight and the gun was a real performer...

 

[NapalmFTW]

Cooked some steaks on the grill while OCing. Murrica.

Wish these fireworks would bugger off though. It's the 5th, you morons.

So I went to go and buy some ammo online today and put in my credit card info and BLAM..... card denied because of insufficient funds.... Now this is a work debit card that gets money loaded on it from Chrysler every now and then but I knew I had cash on there. Come to find out the card was used in CA and China.. WTF you think someone would have called to check on that right? Hope it doesn't take too long to get me to get the cash back.. I got guns and stuff to buy

I know your pain. My bank took almost 2 weeks to get my $ back.

Are you saying you are an expert?

lol. Nope, but having worked midnights for more years than I care to remember I sure can spot the amateurs and the pros.

If you need company shooting during the next month let me know.

BillB your always invited...

I got some tweaking to do on two AR's this week and then I'll be looking for another range trip to see if I fixed anything or made things worse...

Branching out from wheel guns?

Branching out from wheel guns?

Yeah, thought I'd get one high-capacity gun to have around the house.

 

[gunbunnies]

Well everyone should have a pistol too. I prefer the Beretta 92's and 1911A1's although that Sphinx yesterday was very interesting. I also had a chance to run a FNX in 45 acp which shot really nice but had a horrendous first shot trigger pull.

Snap, I am very happy to hear even though you are looking at those flat and non curvy pistols you didn't mutter any four letter words.... LOL...

The Sphinx is just a CZ clone type pistol with some different cosmetics.

Just curious but why are you getting one with the Omega trigger system? Most people prefer the standard model, not the Omega system. Clearly there is a market for the Omega trigger system, so this is not criticism, just a question.

That whole thing is a crock of . Federal grants to pay cops OT to give tickets.

I was wondering why the Hammond popo were all over 80/94 the last few weeks. I guess now I know.
