Heard the same thing about hardballer AMTs years ago. A real hit or miss brand.
My little AMT .380 Backup sucked balls.

If there's 3 yards available on a run, he's going to get those 3 yards. And if there's 20 yards available on a run, well he's still going to get 3 yards because it's called consistency.
No shit.

That game and the oSu game referenced above are the two worst officiated games I have ever seen.
Same here.
Goddamned refs can be as corrupt as any POS politician in Louisiana or Chicago.

BTW - there are a few interesting WWII threads in the History Forum over at the City-Data board:

My Dad was an Infantry captain stationed at Fort Richardson, Alaska when Pearl Harbor went down. He served in the Aleutian Campaign of 1943 to kick the Japanese off that chain of islands, and spent a miserable 7 months living in a tent without taking a bath. He "brought back" a Nambu Type 94 pistol & holster as a souvenir from the Battle of Attu. He literally took it off the body of a dead Japanese officer, while another soldier got the deceased's Samurai sword.
He was transferred to Fort Benning in '44 to train with a new infantry regiment and was shipped out to Strasbourg, France a week after I was born in early December - just in time for The Bulge. My birth delayed his departure with the regiment by a week, and by the time he caught up with it in France, 7 of his fellow 13 battalion officers had been killed.
Parts of the regiment had been decimated by the Germans, so after narrowly avoiding capture by his kraut cousins, Dad was sent to the rear for reorganization into a new outfit. However, his malaria flared up again and he landed in a hospital for awhile - then subsequently was put in charge of a "90 Day Wonder" officers training program in Paris.
Not long before VE Day in Paris he was put in charge of a railroad yard where vast amounts of damaged allied war materiel was brought in for sorting (they left the destroyed German vehicles on the battlefields as a propaganda thing). One morning Dad's sergeant walked in his office and said, "Colonel, a boxcar full of crates of new Lugers & P38s just rolled in. What should we do with them?". Dad said, "Let the troops have them for souvenirs". An hour or so later Dad thought he'd go over a get several of the pistols for himself, but was chagrined to see they were already cleaned out. He came home to Missouri in July of '45 - earlier than most because of 39 months of overseas duty (Alaska was counted in)
He still "brought back" two Mauser 98K rifles, a couple of Nazi helmets, and a Belgian made BAR that had been captured by the Germans when they overran the Low Countries early in the War. In the 1950s I & my brothers used the BAR, Mausers, helmets, & other equipment to play Army out in the woods behind our house in St. Louis. Nobody gave us a second look when we toted that lethal-looking hardware around the neighborhood. The FN manufactured BAR (a rare piece worth about $12,000 today) we donated to the Camp Mabry Military Museum a few years ago. It is in storage in their vault. I had one of the Mauser 98k rifles rebuilt into a nice .30-06 hunting piece - it now belongs to one of my sons.

Gave my new cans a workout last week. Really enjoy both the 45 setup and this setup.
Most of them blend in with the grass, but there are seven shell casings in the air in this pic. Good times.
I can only spot 3, but then again my cataracts are growing worse.
Looks fun though.

Yeah I seriously doubt America is smart enough to learn it's lesson. Americans don't even look at the surface, they just let other people tell them what to think or believe. It doesn't help that probably 99% of Americans are completely ignorant of how things like inflation work or how fiscal policy of constantly running huge deficits will impact it in the near future.
I'd also not get too happy about the NK situation. It's funny how as soon as Kim noticed a crack in the formerly iron clad bond between the US and SK he all of a sudden became very willing to talk... To SK. He's seeing a US president who is crass and unlikable and will blow up at the drop of a hat. A very good opportunity to curry favor with the international community (and possibly reduce sanctions) without having to give up his nuclear ambitions. If he can manuever into that crack between the US and SK then it positions the US in a spot where anything they do to try to maintain influence in the region will look like they are the bad guys keeping Koreans from uniting.
Kim's actions are simple political maneuvering. He's working the influence of the US out of his region and people like China are all too happy to let him do it. It also doesn't do anything to make the world or US safer as Kim will still be working towards a nuclear arsenal and still be as batshit crazy as ever.
I think you are correct. Un is not as stupid as Trump and the Sork president is a naïve sucker.

I'd like to know if Atx71 is still alive and if he made over here.

My last boat was a 1974 Glastron V156 like this one. Bought it used in the early '90s & sold it 15 years ago.

Any thoughts on a Colt Defender 90 in 40sw? Seems to be a little on the rare side. Have a buddy selling one while going through a divorce. These things have any value? He wants $800 for it but there doesn't seem to be much on line to establish a value.
Did a search on the Colt semiauto forum

Been there, done that a couple of times. I'd rather go to the Tulsa show one of these days.
All the Sig P365 owners I've read are thrilled with those guns.

The building the pizza place on the corner is in is a historic landmark. To do this project correctly, that building would have to be torn down which is going to cause them lots of problems.
It can be moved , just like Round Rock's Stagecoach Inn was last week.

I don't care what any polls say. Nor do I have anything good to say about Trump except he isn't Hillary.
If he gets impeached, then I'll give him props for providing some entertainment.

That's HUGE news about the SAA guy training another smith/assembler/finisher to take his place. Will post your comment over at the Colt SAA forum if you don't mind.
Those guys have been guessing at the SAA production numbers for the past year or two - ranging from 0 to 800 or 900 for 2017. What is certain is they are still being produced, as at least two Colt Forum members have purchased new 2018 regular production (not Custom Shop) SAAs in the past couple of months.
The 1.5 years for a Custom Shop build must mean they are getting the extensive backlog cleared out, because over a year ago they were refusing any new custom orders and that the then current orders would take 2 or 3 years to be completed. One guy I read two months ago said he had just received his custom SAA that he had ordered in late 2015. Crazy.
