[Birds Away]

Morning, Snap.

 

[churchmouse]

Sorry, they keep calling me away for work stuff. Is this the one you have setup as your HD gun? Didn't know you were having issues.

I found out Sunday it will not fire. Hard to test them at home.

 

[churchmouse]

Yes. It is extremely annoying. I can see it being that loud in a bar (OK, no, I can't), but at a restaurant people actually like to have conversations. Our local Applebees is the worst. I won't even go in there.

It is the younger crowds that want the loud music. I am a music lover but they want it on and up 24/7............................

That sucks. I've always shied away from Paras.

I did not do the pencil test although I have one (pencil) in my tool kit. Just spaced it. Spoiled on series 70 stuff I guess.

I had a series of sweet Paras in the early to mid 90's. That were P-12's/14's double stack and we loved them. The last 2 I have owned sucked.

Goin' for a refill. BBL

Morning fellas. How's every one this fine day?

I EDC a Canadian P12 I got in 2000, and aside from having to stretch the springs in a couple of P14 mags, it's been flawless. I picked up a second with a serial # about 1400 different, and as soon as I run a few hundred through it, it'll be backup.

Good morning to all at work till 4, then off to the range!!

 

[Snapdragon]

Oops, posted and ran. Had to give Lorelei her eye drops and then take Mom to work.

Going to the vet today with all four dogs for shots, and also having him check Lorelei's eye. The infection is getting better, but she's blind as a bat. I'm leaving a leash attached to her harness to help her around. I cut the loop off the leash so it doesn't get caught on anything. I'm starting to teach her "step up" and "step down".

WE ran 10's of thousands of rounds through our double stacks. The 3 P-12's we had were rotated into EDC between my son and I. They were flawless for the most part save for the spring issue you mentioned. I ran them all across the bench a few years before we went to single stacks exclusively and they were really sweet after that.
The P-14 limited in stainless I had remains one of my favorite shooter to memory. 15 rds. of .45 ACP is a bit heavy on the hip but I am a large fella.........
