Will that fit in a pocket, or do you need a holster?

I don't think they're teaching that book any more. I haven't run across a young person who had heard of it in a long time.

[45Auto]

I also have a 696; I don't like the rubber grips - can you suggest a nice aftermarket set of grips?

[glock rocks]

I don't think they're teaching that book any more

They? Well I'm teaching that book to my kids, as well as Animal Farm and others, and hell, I chose to make money as an engineer for a living. You'll probably note that the teachers who bitch the loudest tell us they're there because they love to teach children, but can't survive on the wages. Well, which is it? "Teacher" ... are you too damned stupid to get a better paying job, or are you there for the altruistic expression of love of teaching youngins?? LOL. Naw, there isn't a "they" when it comes to teaching, and the NEA and USDOE (no child left behind, my behind) should be flushed, if for no other reason than I, a taxpayer, think so.

Nice gun!

I like the Sigs, among other reasons, because my left is my strong hand and I don't have to mess with the thumb safety.

[mylife]

The Sig is a brick,

Sig sauer 226 40sw? you dont like it?

I'll take it off your hands ;-)

[Lady Jag]

Sig 9, 226. It was a gift.

[mylife]

Reliable and accurate tho a bit large

[Lady Jag]

Yes, it's the big one and it's a 9 to boot.

[glock rocks]

Try a P239 in 40. Yep. Just right.

[Lady Jag]

Try a P239 in 40.

That'd be nice. Current Mass. laws make new guns undesirable for me. What I currently have is grandfathered. I enjoyed a prolonged buying spree in lieu of that law, so I'm good. That was just before .40s became available, however, I got some big names and some classics.

[Archon of the East]

It's not about controlling guns. It is about controlling PEOPLE! Guns are just an excuse.

Damn Straight. My very real question is just how far do we let it go? When do we start recognizing the the slow descent from freedom to slavery and do something about it? Its not just guns its "sustainable growth" its "mandatory education" all to be determined by Global criminal aristocrats who want nothing more than homogeneous minds of a "classless" society in which they of course will rule. You will have no recourse as you will have no Guns, you will have no political power as they will outlaw and limit all speech of dissent labeling it hate speech. You will have no family as your children's minds will be indoctrinated from the earliest mandatory preschool program on. Dont think it can happen? Just why is the Constitution of the US being relegated to a mere historical document. I believe because it is happening, slowly for sure but steady none the less.

[glock rocks]

Gun Control isn't about GUNS

It's about CONTROL

[mugs99]

Get the UN out of the US!

I'd suggest Don Collins.

If the world sought to raise itself to the high standards set by the U.S., then "global standards" might be a good thing. Since that's completely opposite to what the U.N.'s cadres of self-anointed demagogues have in mind, methinks they can kindly and without further ado shove their "standards" sideways up their arse.

Well stated! And John Lott knocks another one out of the park! (We better check both of you for intellectual steroids... :-) )

Found on an Aussie website:

Born in 1962, Peters grew up as a teenager in Costa Rica, the second of six children in an American family. As her father worked for the American Government there, 'half jokingly,' she suggested in an interview in Australia he "probably worked for the CIA." At age 15 years while attending an "alternative school" in Costa Rica, Peters was educated by itinerant "young hippies". It was during this new-age education she became "obsessed with changing the world."

In Sydney, Peters enrolled in a university in the faculty of Engineering (possibly Macquarie), being just one of only two females in the course, but in 1983 she dropped out. For a time Rebecca took a job as a researcher and reporter with ABC Radio (known locally as the "Gay-BC"), worked with Andrew Olle, but soon found the nature of journalism, 'too disposable'.

In 1991 with a not-so-subtle agenda, Peters returned to university, enrolled as a law student gaining her law degree, at the end of which, she produced a thesis on 'tighter gun control'. This was the "centrepiece" of an enormous folio of material she collected and wrote for her campaign to remove loop-holes in existing gun laws in Australia. She promoted herself as a 'multilingual middle-class lawyer' who was fanatical about "gun control".

By `91 Peters was running the NCGC, rising fast to the position of "chair", almost as quickly as the death rate climbed with each incident of that new phenomenon to Australasia, the gun massacre. Undoubtedly her success in this new global calling was to the delight of her best friend the feminist activist Eva Cox and Peters' mentor Charles Watson, Professor of Public Health at Wollongong University, who admired her for her 'intellectual thoroughness.'

In a remarkably short time she quite brilliantly bull-dozed aside the entire weak, (some treacherous), and fragmented firearm owner, sporting shooters' groups, and almost surely was surprised by her success with the shooting massacres producing a 'win-win sound-bite' for the minds and meek support of the gullible Mums and Dads of Australia. Dunblane massacre occurred on 13 March `96 and Port Arthur followed 46 days later. Then all the pieces fell into place for Federal Attorney General, Daryl Williams, to implement the gun-ban laws prepared and ready in November of 1995 by Daryl Smeaton. Job done, it was off to the "Big Apple" for Peters.

But a point to remember, while Rebecca Peters was "down-under", 6 shooting massacres occurred in Australia and New Zealand resulting in 76 deaths and 53 wounded people. In "gun control" here, Peters was no doubt - numero uno. Curiously though since Peters left, the shooting massacres have ceased! None in the last six years. And private firearms still abound.

In New York, Rebecca Peters hit the pavement 'running' and is immediately associated with Desmond Riley of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence - part of the NAACP crowd involved in 'crafting a gun control strategy' for "curing gun ownership" - their words.

Shortly it was announced that Peters was awarded (if you believe their own news releases, or if logic is your guide, rewarded may be the more appropriate word), with a Senior Fellowship in March 1997 by the Soros Foundation's Open Institute funded Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy and Research in Merryland. So the good citizens there should perhaps keep her Australasian achievements in mind. In making application for her fellowship, Rebecca had to 'submit a budget' for her envisioned work - forgive me from chuckling. Can you imagine her difficult task here? Think of a big digit add lots of zeros and voila - a budget!

The CS9 weighs 20.8OZ.

I use a holster, I have several and I use this Action Direct model the most:

[blackie]

Sig makes great firearms, I like the CS9 because it's lighter than most 9MM semi-autos.

I have a Taurus P-111 Millenium 9MM DAO; it's heavier than the CS9 and I keep it on the nightstand.
