Re: .40 S&W Pistol Suggestion

I may suggest the Beretta 96FS, although it is around $600 instead of $500. I like the ergonomics of the M9 (92FS) pistol but I don't like the 9mm round so the 96FS is an excellent compromise. I rented one this weekend because I am thinking about buying one and it was a joy to shoot. Accurate and co...

As mentioned above, put it in an anti-static bag, but also put a desiccant in the bag to control the humidity.

Re: Favre is done

ONE PASS. Or the 30+ yard pass to Sidney Rice for a TD. As the statistics show his accuracy decreased noticeably once he started throwing outside the 10 yard range. Gee, who would have thunk it that it's harder to complete passes the farther you throw it down the field? You can't make a judgment fr...

Re: Favre is done

300 yards means nothing... you and others were earlier singing his praises for not doing that. No. I was singing his praises for doing what was needed to win games. When Adrian and the defense are hot, let them do the work and Favre's job is to keep drives alive and keeping the defense rested. When...

Re: Favre is done

Favre is a warm-weather QB and was playing with a torn bicep. This year, he'll play 11 games indoors. Lambeau Field being known for its warm weather of course. Favre has a 72.5 passer rating in cold weather at Lambeau Field over the last 5 years. Brett simply doesn't deserve his reputation as a col...

Re: Favre is done

Most quarterbacks in the league that are even playable (T-Jack, Rosenfels) could complete 77% of passes if they were playing the same type of game. No, they couldn't. Favre completed 87% of his passes accurately last year (not marked overthrown, underthrown, ahead of, or behind), higher than any ot...

Re: Favre is done

He has virtually no passes over 20 yards. Tell me how this is better than what T-Jack or Schaub could have done? Jackson and Rosenfels (not Schaub) couldn't complete 77% of passes even all the passes were behind the line of scrimmage. He has almost no passes over 20 yards for a reason: The Vikings ...

Re: NFL Draft

I agree with Mike Mayock: I don't touch McFadden in the top 20. I don't even think he is the best RB prospect from Arkansas this year (Felix Jones). I'm not very high on Matt Ryan either. I think Brian Brohm is going to be the better NFL QB.

If you where going all out, I'd suggest the Robinson Arms XCR However, that is out of your stated price range, so the Olympic Arms A-1 Carbine looks like a good choice for $599. Do you konw that you will get shortened weapon life with a carbine because of higher pressures and hot gas erosion?
