New Ruger Product: SR9 Pistol

Posted on October 18th, 2007 in Guns by Justin

A 17+1 capacity polymer framed striker fired 9mm pistol with swappable backstraps, manual safety, loaded chamber indicator, and removable magazine disconnect safety.

I give it a “meh?” on my interest-o-meter. I’d like to fondle one at my earliest convenience but I doubt I’d go any further than that with it.

TheHighRoad.org thread on the pistol can be found here.

What I actually do find interesting is that Ruger didn’t release details on the thing until they actually had enough in stock to go around. Personally, I’d like to see more manufacturers following suit with that. I’m a bit tired of dealing with a year or more of hype and wondering before the product actually hits. By the time they do I’m no longer interested.

I’m fickle. So what?

That’s Just Awesome to Watch

I just found this today via THR.

MadTrigger.com’s video section. There’s a bunch of videos from IPSC and 3 gun competitions. Some of them are taken from a “hat cam” perspective which is sorta neat to watch.

I’ve never actually been to an IDPA, IPSC, or 3 gun shoot, but watching these really makes me want to partake.

Executive Decision

Posted on October 18th, 2007 in Pets by Justin

So, one of Theresa’s coworkers has a 2.5 year old yellow labrador that they’re looking to place in a new home. The old owners couldn’t keep up with it, too many kids in the house, not enough time for the dog.

We’re going to give it a trial run this weekend.

If we’re not going bat shit crazy come Monday we’ll probably be adding a 2nd dog to the house.

I’m starting to question my sanity.
