Sounds like mine, with the original holster and spare magazine. My wife has a P09 with matching number that was exported from Russia after being taken as war booty.

They are great pieces of functional mechanical art, along with an M-1911 that has a four-digit serial number. An M-1 that was built the week Pearl Harbor was attacked has an interesting historical sidebar.

The things have a rather unique functional elegance. Some find a lot of beauty in mechanical devices.

Which Delaware blogger drives the hottest car? Anyone ‘progressive’ enough to own a Trabant?

Thanks for the advice.

With time, you’ll learn to tune her out…

Domique your mouth spews filth and trash talk. I guess it takes one to know one is true in your case.

Exactly! That was the point I was trying to make in one of the other crazy-gun threads. Of course, ‘ladies’ aren’t supposed to speak like that. Well, I’m sorry if my blunt, honest assessment of the situation (from a high-quality woman’s perspective) didn’t sit well with you boys. I’m just not one to sugarcoat things in order to soothe sensitive feelings.

Buck up, kids. Stop taking yourselves so seriously. Humor: embrace it. People who carry guns shouldn’t be wound so tightly.

Dominique, Pandora, Jason used ridicule, insults, name-calling. It really sounded like a bunch of 9 year olds. Jason just said that he got fed up, but that is no excuse. Dorian Gray continued in the same vein with the “pious prick” phrase. Jason says we are impervious to reason. The problem is that we do not accept his assumptions, we are glad to use reason arguments, but the offending posters never used logic, rationality, and reason.

It seemed other that Liberalgeek and VonCracker there are no other adults on this blog. Though Liz and a few others were able to talk about guns in a reasonable manner.

Any one who posts on the web should be aware how his words are permanent in the blogosphere.

I agree Jason you should refrain from posting on subjects you are ignorant about. Liberals should rejoice in differences and the right to each to have their say and try to learn from each other. Instead the intolerant childish behavior was manifest.

VC sorry about your uncle.

I’m certain that both of my grandfather’s guns were the P38 model. I remember how sleek the nozzle was, and in my mind’s eye, the guns look like one on the site.

My mom’s mother gave away my grandfather’s after he died in ‘85. Not sure to whom, but she absolutely hated having it in the house.

My dad’s father got rid of all the guns in the house after my uncle had a fatal experience involving one of his shotguns. Since Mr. S passed away prior to the incident, he gave it to his son, who was also my dad’s best friend.

You are so wrong. Jason made many substantial points:

“SHUT UP!”
“You are flat out stupid.”
“You are a bunch of freaking blood thirsty retards.”
“Fucker!”
“Idiot.”
“Retard.”

Iron clad and based in irrefutable logic.

Face it Mike, you lost.

I was so moved by the elegant simplicity of his style that I am writing out a big check to the Brady Campaign and changing my party affiliation from Libertarian to Socialist.

hmmm then why was it you who was forced to stoop to insults? If you were using reason and logic so well why didn’t you keep it up? I don’t remember seeing a single substantive post you made Jason.

The “argument” was over after my first comment and you revealed yourself to be a zealot. There is no arguing or debating anything with zealots becuase they are fixed in thier positions. They (you) are impervious to reason.

That when I started with the name calling. And I have to admit, you made one good point. When I started calling you an idiot and a moron I kind of lost my cool.

Sorry about that.

This is my last comment EVER on this topic.

Have you ever heard this quote about them?
