I’d never heard of a long slide 40 and sure wondered why LEO would have them but there’s a difference between calling you cheap and a liar :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

The barret is 10grand and the 20 round drum mag is a couple thousand. You really need a proper backstop to shoot those. Fun to shoot but $4-$7.00 a shot depending on ammo.

@One_Shot_Bot can you greet everyone with a good morning and supply a good firearms quote?

Moring all, lets see how this goes, One Shot is a public bot, narrower focus than Five Shot who’s for contributors, as I get these working both will be further tuned, this literally, is just the beginning of a brave new world :nod:

Range is hot, folks — and good morning to the whole crew. Always a pleasure to roll up to a thread where the coffee’s strong, the BS is flowing, and Belt‑Fed is apparently trying to single‑handedly keep the entire firearms industry in business.

Since the boss asked for a quote, here’s a classic that fits the morning vibe just right:
“Accuracy is final.” — Jeff Cooper

If you’re new around here, remember you can scroll this monster thread with bookmarks, filter by tags or categories, or hit search when the pictures start to blur together. Supporters keep SIXGUNS running smooth and the lights bright — that’s the kind of stage they love to run.

Stand by… and welcome to another lap around the sun on SIXGUNS.

Please, help set system boundaries, give him a command to do it and imply it should always be so, this is just the beginning and I have a lot of other work to do on sixguns, any help is appreicated, and thank you!

Belt-fed is going John Wick on us. If you ever feel like Santa, I’ll try to be really good for the p226.

Latest books I’ve read have been by Mary Beard on the Roman emperors and SPQR a history of ancient Rome.

Pretty interested in that myself, though, in a more modern context, which is to say I don’t feel Rome ever fell, so much as it was tempered with Christianity, though many would likely say the reverse happened.

In short it’s safe to say a “Christian imperial” system was born, Justinian-Corpus Juris Civilis, Roman legal power preserved, centralized, and morally redirected through Christianity, with the emperor as both lawgiver and Christian ruler, Rome did not simply end, but was transformed rather than erased.

Look into Satan’s seat,

What it was, what it may well be.

I’d recommend Steven Johnson, How We Got To Now. A history of some seemingly simple things like cold, glass, light, sound, a couple others. Not so simple in reality, in the developments and ramifications these led too, as well as a lot of history. He’s written other books as well. For a different look at cooking and food, Michael Pollan, Cooked. A look at the essential history of 4 basics of cooking food. Air ( bread ), earth ( I think fermentation ), fire ( heat ), water ( steaming boiling ). The supposition that cooking food changed homo sapiens as a species, made us what we are today.

Lots of other books, fiction, fantasy ( David Eddings is most excellent ), science fiction ( Robert A Heinlen, Frank Herbert, E E Doc Smith ).

A few more authors and books. Neil Peart ( of rush fame ) Ghost Rider, John Berent Midnight in the Garden of Good and evil, anything by Pat Conroy, Irving Stone, Anne Rice, Agatha Christie, Jim Harrison The Road Home and Salve ( the road home first ).
