Some video. . . Gonna be doing this here and there for your entertainment.

Short post, nothing huge. .some parts for my 1911

If you are looking for parts for a plethora of weapons, then Brownells.com has it (well, most of the time).

Just ordered an extended slide release, buffer pads for my guide rod, and a larger bushing with a smooth (melted) face. All in my quest to fully customize my TRP.

I'll post some pics when I attach the parts to my pistola.

Never turn your back on a zombie.

Star Trek. . . .yeah yeah, I know it ain't zombie related, but I'm a trekkie for fuckssakes.

This is essentially a copy and paste of a post I put up on my Yahoo group site that I belong to with some close friends of mine, with modifications as to names and things. . .here goes:

As far as the new Star Trek movie is concerned, for a die-hard TOS fan such as
myself, and I think I speak for THE GM and NTTS BRAIN per our discussion of the movie,
I rate it a 7 out of 10.

The film has to be taken objectively, and in doing so I put myself in the shoes
of those that have never seen any Star Trek tv series or movies. In that
regard, it was an entertaining movie with great special effects (the fight
scenes were poorly shot and seemed very cheap. The close shots and quick cuts
of the fight scenes, mentioned by THE GM, made me believe that they didn't want
to spend a lot of time choreographing the fights.

The visual effects were stunning, bright, sharp, and sexy.

As a trekkie fan however, the movie didn't quite meet my expectations. In my
opinion, none of the movies compare to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. There
was no continuity, but that was clearly stated in the reviews of the movie, so I
had to swallow this as an "Alternate Reality of the Star Trek Universe."

In that regard, I have to say that the movie was good but not great. I didn't
walk away with that "feel good" feeling that I normally have with great movies.
Of course, my version of great is obviously far different than any of yours. My
perception isn't based on a heightened sense of spirituality, a high IQ, a
liberal attitude, a happy-go-lucky personality, a
workaholic-who-just-wants-to-relax-and-see-a-movie sort of view, or a Star Trek
Next Generation fan. My perception is based on growing up watching William
Shatner and Leonard Nimoy and the rest of the crew of the old,
cheap-effect-looking starship running around and saving the universe.

Did the old series effects bother me? Not a bit. Because the characters were
believable and made me feel good after watching it.

This new movie is a movie for the NOW generation. Anyone that says that it is a
movie for everyone is HIGHLY mistaken. I like continuity and memorable
characters and references back to the old days.

I compare this movie to guns:

The old series is a reliable .45 Officers model. No special sights, no fancy
shmancy parts, nothing but proof in the quality of it's performance. A weapon
that has aged well and can appeal to everyone from the target shooter to the
combat handgunner.

The newer films are like race guns. High Tech, fancy, expensive, and meant for
one purpose, a target. In the case of this movie, I felt the target was a
certain age group and type of movie viewer. It doesn't appeal to everyone
necessarily but it is entertaining nevertheless.

Will I buy it on Blu-ray? Surely. Do I place it in the all time greats of
science fiction? Eh...probably not.

Although Uhura looked damn fine.

(All pictures gathered off of FLICKR from random peoples, sorry I didn't write down the names of who I grabbed them from)

Damn I'm getting bad. . . gotta fix that . . .Here's some eye candy .

So it's been a while since my last post. Same ole-same ole . Work, Life, still dealing with the last bits of my divorce, upcoming gaming convention, buying gun parts and tactical gear. . . life is grand but busy.

Anyway, I wanted to post some eye candy for you all to see. This is one of latest purchases for my SpringField Armory TRP .45.

I picked up a pair of new handgrips that fit my personality just fine. I won't tell you about the Ebay seller that I bought it from because I would only end up talking a drastic amount of shit about how long it took to get these grips. But anyways, here we go:



I also picked up three Wilson Combat 500B Elite Tactical Magazines in black. . . 8 rounders. . for luck.
They feed pretty well and I haven't had any technical issues with them . .soooo . . . yeah. . .

And they go with the theme of the weapon nicely.

For a holster I ordered a Galco Yaqui Paddle in Havana color with a matching double mag holder, both in paddle format (easier to take on and off and I can wear it with shorts).

Only thing I'm waiting on is the holster. LAPoliceGear.com, where I ordered the holster from, has it backordered. POOOOP!!!

*UPDATE* Contacted LAPoliceGear.com . . . .fucking JULY!!! for the holster to come in!!!!! Holy PiSS!

See you in a bit. . .and remember, keep your head on a swivel.
