“We have met the enemy, and they are ours.”

Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, who at the height of the Pacific war commanded more than two million men and women, 5,000 ships and 20,000 planes, was of humble and landlocked beginnings. Nimitz was born February 24, 1885 to an already widowed mother, and was raised in the small German community of Fredericksburg, Texas.
Yessir
I grew up in NE Ohio.
Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry is a personal hero.
People have no memory of the war of 1812 and the maritime history of the great lakes
Tom says the percentage of renegade cops is higher than 20%
He is right.
I have seen both sides of that thin line.
You know which side I stand on.
“We have met the enemy, and they are ours.”
Gonna call it a night. Keep your powder dry folks.
he overcame a lot of shiznit to become victorious
Gnight Doc
Have you ever shot .357 out of your Airweight?
I’m scared to try a .357 in my S&W 360. I haven’t even tried a +P, a regular .38 hurts just fine.
Perry used natural caverns on South Bass Island as prisons for the BRIT Pigs.
the poor guy didnt fully comprehend his situation, but he was resilient.
He built an armada at Presque Isle and found it could not float over the sand barges once loaded out.
He unloaded the ships, floated them out over the sand bars and the replenished them with quickly constructed barges.
My airweight wont accommodate .357
Even if it could, the idea makes me wince LoL
Holy Moly!
Punching out.
So long, and thanks for all the thread.
Hey Clint.
It was you that bought the MP15 for $600 right?
Boy o boy are those things hot right now.
They cant keep them on the shelf.
One thing I have learned about those that I like is that SW bought Thompson and they are using a progressive rifling twist that Thompson patented.
It starts 7 in 1 and progresses to 8 in 1 twist
Gnight 50. Have a great week
No I was the moron who bought it for $999 or &1099 at the height of 0bamascare, cant remember. The EOTech and ammo was in there around $1650 in toto. Dave IIRC got his for that. Nice gun though...
Only thing I don’t like is the cheap plastic handle. It’s slippery and could use some rubber grips.
Doh!
They have been selling for $640 IF and thats a BIG “IF” you can get one.
I hate that you got the high end of the market, but I am glad you got a good gun.
