Ooooh that is nifty!! I will have to meet up with you as I have always wanted to shoot one of those!

I purchased 2000 primers and 2000 lead projectiles and some powder to load 9mm!

Sure thing, just let me know when you're heading out to the range. I'm not finicky, you're more than welcome to shoot some of your reloads through it. :)

It's going to be hard pressed to find a month where I don't ride it. I rode my bike last year on Dec 31 and Jan 1. If the roads are clear and it's above freezing I'll ride. I love old air-cooled rice burners. This isn't my first...though it is my largest. I'm hoping to add a liquid-cooled sportbike in the future. That said, this bike is an absolute blast and makes very few compromises. Surprisingly quick, efficient, and also surprising on the handling front. I ride the heck out of any bike I own, I have yet to find one that wasn't up to the task.

~70s CB750s are absolutely excellent.

I'm always looking for one to buy on the supercheap, as a cafe project.

NDS stamped, so it's an actual German Police gun.

I'm a big fan of American Heritage handguns specifically S&Ws. So, I stuck with S&W for SD. Extremelly happy with choice. I picked up a M&P 40 full size this year, (got the compact last year's refund). Also just got a Troy-bilt Tractor 17.5 HP plus free dump cart from Lowe's.

Both M&Ps are really fine shooters. Made in USA. :celebrate

I picked up a 1970's S&W Model 10-5, 5" Barrel, .38 Special, "old-skool" bluing. I replaced the wood grips pictured with Hogue Black Rubber.

I have to say, this is the finest firearm that I have shot to date - points/shoots like a dream. This will be the GF's Gun at some point, I must REALLY, REALLY LIKE THIS LADY ALOT!!!

Unfortunately yes, Cykes, I lost every single firearm you own! Sorry...

and about that child tax credit... the thing is... when you have the kids to get the extra money, you generally end up spending it on the kids :dude:

Refund was direct deposited this morning. :celebrate


I filed Apr 14th. My brother filed his in February, but it had an attached home credit for the house he bought in January. He is still waiting, and was told it 'should' be here, by June 8th. Needless to say, he isn't happy. :(

Now, it's time to pick a new gun. :D
