Amber's New Gun


The wifey now has her own M1911A1 Yea for her!!!! the trigger has a bit to much play for me and it takes a mack truck to get the gun to go bang. Other then that it is a sweet gun. It is the .45ACP Springfield G.I. Champion with a 4 inch barrel. She put 100 round down range today, the groups were nice and tight, but a bit on the low side, I think that was do to the fact I have been loading for a full lenght barrel 1911. The loads are target loads custom loaded for both of the full lenght 1911's so I need to sit down and find a load that her gun likes to eat. I have found that a shorter Barrel most of the time needs a slightly heaver load but I have also come across shorteys that like a lighter load.

The Amber takes over the world gun



On to ther things gun topics well, not really. She picked the weapon up Saturday and was offered an $70 Bianchi Holster for $30. I had not updated my check book and did not know if would could get it or not so we told the sales clerk that we would be in Sunday if we had the money to get it. We came home and I blanced out the check book and figured if a few things waited to next month we could pick it up. So sunday we got up and drove down to Shooter's Station in Conroe and load and behold they were closed for mothers day. So we drove back to Huntsville . Today we drove back down and the salesperson gave her the Holster for free. I mean like no money free. She we headed back up to Huntsville popped out to the range and burned some powder, and killed some targets.

One thing She really did not like was the fact that it had wood grips and she likes Pachmayr type grips, so I pulled the grips off the Norinco and swapped then with the Springfield grips. You have to love the idea of a Norinco with Springfield grips that have U.S. carved in to them. Plus the Cocobolo grips look better on the Black Norinco any how.

Place noodles on to cook. Place olive oil in a frying pan bring to a simmer slowly add the wine stir for 30 seconds. Slowly add the garlic vinegar then stir for 30 to 45 seconds, add sugar stir to completely dissolved, Add both the crushed red pepper and the garlic powder stir for 30 seconds.

Movie Quote

I would like to start this post with I am not a very big Kevin Costner fan I like Ashton Kutcher even less. Don’t get me wrong I do not dislike them I just do not care for their acting style. Now that I gotten that out of my system I have to say that the Move The Guardian was pretty good. The best part of the movie is when Ashton Kutcher’s charter has just beaten all of Kevin Costner’s records and Costner’s charter has spent most of the night trying to them back, then it cuts to him at Maggie’s bar talking to his old friend Maggie McGlone and the both of them get to talking about getting old.  Then she breaks out with one of the best things I have heard on getting old that I have heard in along time. Keep in mind this quote is from a female but you can see as you need to for your gender needs. So if you have a few bucks and want to hear this quote in context rent the movie. It is by far the best part in the movie.

Maggie McGlone: "If my muscles hurt, it just means I've used them. If it hurts to walk up the stairs, it's just cause I've done it a hundred times to lay down next to a man who loved me. My face may have wrinkles, but I have laid under hundreds of skies on sunny days. I look like this, well, because I drank and I smoked and I lived and I loved and I screwed my way through a pretty damn good life. Getting old isn't bad. It's earned."

This is one of the best movie quotes that I have heard in a very long time. Some one in Hollywierd fucked up and came up with something good and makes people think about life. So you know that person has been fired. When it comes down to it this movie is Backdraft in water. It does have a few good parts, it is worth picking up to own, but rent it first.
