SIG P250

[TMan]

Hey guys, in case you are interested in a 9mm version: the distributor: Sports South has them in stock. Expect to spend over $600 for one if you want them.

Why haven't I ordered one? Because I like to waste targets by having just a small hole in the center. The P250 is DAO with a 5.5-6.5lb trigger pull. If I ever get to the point I can shoot the Kahr half-way decently, then I might be interested.

I'm still looking for something for my 2008 wish-list. My wife is like the government - if I don't spend what is in the budget, my gun budget will get cut next year. Since I'm basically cheap, I'm not going to buy something that I don't want - unlike the government.

I've got to go to bed: the girls are watching "O Brother, Where Art Thou? for about the 40^th time. I like the music, but I can just about quote the dialog in the entire movie by heart.

"Do not seek the treasure."

Hey !!; It's The Soggy Bottom Mountain Boys !!!!

DA, I saw this numerous times before I caught on where "The Soggy Bottom Boys" name came from. Then somewhere around the 26th viewing it dawned on me that Pete and Delmar had just been baptised and were still wet: thusly the "soggy bottoms".

Then around the 35th viewing I noticed that the bums on the train were leaning up against sacks of Pappy O'Daniels' Flour.

This is a typical Coen Brothers movie, and they have a lot of dry humor in it. The real part of the movie is the music, but I enjoy the dry humor in it too. My wife "hates" the movie; this is a woman that watched "Pretty Woman" around 19 times. However, I got her an Ipod for Christmas and was asking her about music that I was putting on it for her. I asked her if she wanted the soundtrack from the movie; she perked up and said: "Oh YES".

I didn't get to see their latest movie: "No Country for Old Men", but I'll get an e-mail from Amazon.com when it is available on DVD.

"we thought you was a toad". Best line in the movie. ;D

TA, one of my favorite parts was when Pete says: "I'll be 84 years old before I get out." Then Delmar gets this big grin on his face and says: "Well I'll only be 82."

Movies like this one is a rare gem; This one will be funny, no matter how many times one sees it. I often measure the quality of a motion picture by it's life span of maintaining freshness after repeat viewings. I say this because I grew up when movies would be re-released time and time again, and we would go back to see those same movies with the same enthusiasm each time. Like TMan; We would see things in the movie which we failed to see before. No video library would be complete without this movie.

I almost get dry heeves at the silly crap from Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, David Spade, Will Ferrell, and other recent graduates from the crop of Saturday Night Live. I had to look up their names in order to refer to them. I mean total silliness, borderline sick humor.

I'm wondering if we shouldn't start a movie/music review forum.

[TMan]

DA, your last post was at 3:25AM - you overseas? ;D

Movies today are about pushing the liberal agenda or seeing how much sexual innuendo that you can get into it. Network TV is no better; it is like a contest to see how far you can go without getting a slap on the wrist from the FCC.

There is one silly movie from the Saturday Night Live group that I did like and that was "Christmas Vacation" with Chevy Chase. However, it wasn't Chevy Chase that made the movie - it was Randy Quaid as Cousin Eddie.

A movie review or comment forum might be a good idea, and we could make comments about the guns used in movies, how they are used (or misused) etc.

Getting back to the P250: the more I think about it the more I like the concept. I also like the fact that it is built on a steel frame and is modular. Then the fact you buy one frame that almost fits your hand perfectly and then if you want you can shoot it with 9mm for practice and then switch to 357 Sig for carry.

Were it not for the fact that the pistol was DAO, I'd probably have one by now, knowing my lack of self-control. (Wonder when they will get a pill for that?).

From the picture the trigger bar is on the outside of the "fire-control assembly". I wonder if it will rub up against the side of the polymer housing like it does on the Ruger SR9? I do like the fact that the assembly is made out of metal vs. polymer, but I'm old-fashioned.

It strikes me sort of like a minivan does; my rational side says it's very practical and efficient, but I don't think I'll be driving one. The all stamped metal fire control system just reminds me too much of a cap gun. Looks like there's about $3 worth of parts and labor in there.

Like the minivan though, I bet it will sell well. Just not for me.
