Re: GUNS GUNS GERNS

Makes sense, which also sucks. Here's to hoping Ruger makes an insert for the P series mags...or lets someone like MagPul make one. The platform has all kinds of potential with it's modularity, just needs someone to make the parts.

Re: GUNS GUNS GERNS

Honestly, no idea. I don't have anything else Ruger and immediately dropped in the Glock insert to work with the mags from my G19.

It's one of the reasons I got one. That and I thought it would be fun to shoot, which it is.

Re: GUNS GUNS GERNS

It is. Ran 200 rounds through it Sunday after swapping the magwell. If I were a better shot I'd have had great groups...that said, it hit everywhere I aimed, even when it wasn't where I meant to aim :). Can't wait to take it out again.

Re: GUNS GUNS GERNS

Picked this up Saturday. Ruger PCC 9mm. Mates well with my Glock pistol mags. Shoots like a dream.

My condolences and sympathy lie with the family. I grew up and live in Florida, and have three small children. One thing that's drummed into those of us that live here "If you can't see the bottom of the water, assume there's gators in it." I've literally seen 10 foot plus gators sitting o...

Re: Please suggest to me a good free antivirus program

So...most malware issues today happen so fast that antivirus companies don't even have time to update their definitions before someone can be exploited. On top of that, most now come in the form of flash, java, or some other plugin exploit that most antivirus won't even see, or they occur because so...

Re: Desktop not finding internet

BIOS updates often fix esoteric hardware issues and they are generally a good idea anyway. Aside from that, often the latest network card driver for a given machine is the one from the network chipset vendor's website rather than the computer or mobo manufacturer's site, and they can also fix a bun...

Re: Desktop not finding internet

That was going to be my next suggestion. When you've verified that all of the settings are correct and it still doesn't work, all that's left are drivers and hardware. Drivers are easy to uninstall/reinstall and get corrupted all the time. So, it shouldn't make you feel like a noob at all. I manage ...

Re: Something big

Enforcer originally debuted in one of the WEG RPG Adventure Journals detailing an Imperial Remnant in one of the rim territories. I'll see if I can dig it up when I get home. I don't recall what artwork was used, if any. I don't recall the specifics of the backstory as detailed in the AJ either. If...

No, the Dominator is this one: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dominator_(Interdictor-class_Star_Destroyer) The EU lineage is: Vindicator -> Immobilizer (grav well interdictor variant) -> Enforcer (reconversion to combatant design - the wookie pic is wrong, since it does not have grav wells) I under...

Re: Something big

I think the ship that some are calling the Dominator is actually the Enforcer-class picket cruiser developed by the PentaStar alignment. Wookiepedia ( http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Enforcer-class_picket_cruiser ) states the Enforcer was based on the Immobilizer 418 and Vindicator heavy cruiser hulls.

Pratchett's Mort is on Kindle at the moment.

Do what you can with what you've got where you are. Live life to the fullest. Enjoy every moment. Pick a mantra and run with it.
