    Pulled the trigger langlitz columbia

    I really want one of those Pocket Padded Columbia's. While the sleeve pockets would be eliminated, for some reason I like having the useless watch pocket on front. About the only thing that has ever fit well into one is a smallish garage door opener. What bike(s)?

    9mm or 45cal

    When going through the academy I chose the Sig P-228, which is a "compact" version of the P-226, in 9mm (a handgun I still possess) and was awarded Top Gun Shooter for my class. Although later switching to a 1911 platform in .45acp, I never felt under gunned with the Sig.

    9mm or 45cal

    Not according to several accounts and histories I've read, which would be in keeping with the battle strategy of "human wave" assaults known to have been employed by both sides against entrenched opponents. I never intended to imply that the whole war was fought in such a manner.

    9mm or 45cal

    Oh yes, I'm aware of this. I've also read that in WWI, troops were offloaded from train transports just as fast as the cars could be emptied and hustled right up to the front trenches, at times with a life expectancy of mere minutes upon arrival.

    9mm or 45cal

    Well, I'll be darned. I've read about those actions many times over the years, as well as heard the stories. To find out I'm wrong about this actually makes me feel quite a bit better about mankind in general. I've always hated to think about the waste of good troops on a futile charge of this...

    9mm or 45cal

    Yes, yes they did. And some armies in WWII sent their cavalries, still on horseback and possessing lances (Poland), up against other countries' cavalries which consisted of the tank corps (Germany) with predictable results. The U.S. army issued some generals 1911 models chambered in .380, but it...

    Schott Rendezvous Wool Plaid Jacket

    Sometimes I really hate this lounge. All I did was wonder in here for a quick drink and now it's going to cost me $485.00..............

    Modding my 1951 Hercules D-Pocket to resemble studded Buco J-24 from Tanaka book

    Great job. Cool jacket!

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    I don't believe this for a second: I am of the firm opinion that any ten members of the forum, at least from this end of the bar, would come up with only seven different results. Eight, maybe. Anything over is just crazy talk........

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    AllanP, I'm curious: would you elect to keep a great-cutting knife that ended up fitting your hand, even though it was manufactured to the wrong specs?

    9mm or 45cal

    Growing up in the 70's, we held as true that being hit in the finger with a .45 ACP would knock you down, being hit in the finger with a .30-06 (M-1 battle rifle from WWII) would take your arm off at the shoulder, and that a .357 Magnum, fired into a car's front fender, would crack the engine...

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    The second set of images puts the sleeve-length issue in a completely different light. Based on these, if it were mine, I'd just wear it with the confidence that comes with having a superior jacket. Also, I don't think most jackets look particularly good if they are completely smooth in their...

    My new Vanson America jacket

    Great jacket! I have both the Model B and the Model B Deluxe versions of this, and they are pretty much everything one would require of a riding jacket. Monitor is correct concerning getting them wet: water doesn't seem to phase them.

    Any opinions on Schott 571 Mission unlined jackets..

    As a teenager, I had an unlined leather "jeans" jacket, and while it looked the business, it was not very easy to put back on if it had been removed for a while after several hours wear. On a warmish day it would start to feel kind of oogy, too (technical term :) ).I think there is a reason that...

    New "mud"-splattered denim, anyone? Just US$425 to you, mate.

    A few years back, one of the British manufacturers offered up motorcycle riding jackets featuring fake mud splatters made from molded plastic/rubber and fused to the cloth jacket: how very rugged.

    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    Overall, the jacket looks quite nice. The sleeves are indeed a bit short, in my opinion. Knowing how hard it is to face the prospect of having to return something that has been anxiously awaited, I've lived with enough long-term buyer's remorse on several purchased items that weren't quite as...
