I'm starting to get worried my parents might be having trouble finding an Xbox360 for me. But my dad and I were talking yesterday about him possibly getting me a Super Redhawk .44 mag. if he can't get an xbox. I would happily take the pistol though. So anyone work at an electronics/entertainment store ? If you do, are you pretty much out of the premium consoles ? All I have seen are elites, arcade and halos. Here's the Super Redhawk  Either the 7.5" barrel  That or the 9.5"  Main purpose of the gun would be hunting(mostly deer and other large animals.) I would most likely put a scope on it. Would work great where I hunt because of the hills, Most shots aren't much more than 50 yds. So, if you can't get your first pick, what alternatives do you think you'll get. |

Thats why I hate Desert Eagles, so much stupid hype. And tical, They shouldn't run out of mask's right ? I never bought a mask, always used that cheap one that came with the gun that you had to put together yourself lol. |

I asked for a wallet, which my mom basically told me I'm getting on my birthday and not Christmas. No biggy though, my birthday is on the 30th of December. She's apparently buying me other crap that she keeps talking about though, and I have no clue what it is. ------------- |

I doubt I'll be getting what I asked for. No matter how much of my list is filled with paintball gear and equipment. No matter how many links to the items I send my parents, I always wind up with something more... "practical" which means I get stuff I didn't ask for and spend tons of money on gear the rest of the year....  ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

160gb ipod I also asked for a stroker kit.  This kit offers the same components that are in our record holding Bullet 306 short blocks minus the race prepped block. The kit includes our bullet race prepped crankshaft, race prepped connecting rods, forged DSS Sportsman X Series pistons, Sealed Power/Speed Pro moly rings, tri-metal rod and main bearings. Whether you are building a daily driver, or high horsepower nitrous or boosted vehicle, these parts are what you need to meet your performance goals. This assembly is available with optional aftermarket rods, low compression pistons, and pistons to fit a variety of cylinder head configurations. I think I got the ipod. My dad will probably go 50/50 with me on the stroker kit since we need it for our project car. edit: I also think I will get some gift cards to a few pet stores so I can re stock my aquarium. -------------

Funny story I though might belong here
So, recently my friends brother has been unwrapping his presents to see what he got and then rewrapping them. Well my friends mom found out about this and told him she was taking all his presents back to the store, well the kid tried to play it off so she gathered all his present and left. Instead of exchanging the previous gifts for money she bought him all new gift, but this time she wrapped them and wrote his siblings names on them so he didn't know which ones were his, and so he wouldn't get suspicious she bought him things like underwear and wrapped those things up with his name on them. After talking to my friend just now on aim he says his brother is really mad and is thinking that the underwear his mom purchased is all he is going to get. Sad part of the story is, the kid unwrapping his presents is a 17 year old. ------------- <Sig violation, Section 1> |

Evil, wow, nice gun. Are those Meprolight tritium sights?
Looks very very pretty. Don't laught if this is an obvious answer, but what caliber is it? I'd assume .40 S&W, but you know what assumptions leads to. KBK |

i wish they were night sights, but sadly no, they are just regular old sights. its ok though, i only shoot during the day anyways, and i can upgrade later if i want. its a .40 S&W.

Nght sights are nifty toys, but I've never found a use for them. Even with low light shooting, if it's so dark you can't see your iron sights, you can't see your target.
Any target you care to engage will most probably be lit up by your torch anyway, giving you a sillouette of your iron sights. I personally use tritium inserts on my 1911's sights. But they've since been overshadowed (over glown?) by the CTC LaserGrip I've put on it. It absolutely rocks in low light situations, even without a torch. It's a breeze to activate (grip the gun normally = laser on) and it is stupidly fast for aquisition. Supplimented with a torch it's fantastic for low light shooting. KBK |
