Your pics all showed the distinctive red reflection from your area during the evening hours; therefore you should get good weather tomorrow. (I know, it was a red photon microlight but it was the thought that counts- I thought you did it on purpose when I first saw it)

BTW- I have since googled it, and this phrase dates back to biblical times, so even a nonpagan like NDD must believe in its truth.
In the Bible, (Matthew XVI: 2-3,) Jesus said:
“When in evening, ye say, it will be fair weather: For the sky is red. And in the morning, it will be foul weather today; for the sky is red and lowering.”

So much for my gre-gre voodoo... its a fact even the pope won't argue.

1. Did you read my caveats to buying/carring a P-10/Warthog above? I believe that I made clear that it may, or may not be reliable, and caveat emptor.

2. Your 10mm (Lite) on a good day is about the same potency as a .40 S&W (+P). I'll take the .45 ACP, thanks, especially if I lived in a state where hollow-points were illegal. You ever fired at anyone with those pieces?

3. Your .45ACP Glock has a weak, unsupported chamber, so I could not use the LeMas I prefer for carry ammo. Runs fine in the Paras.

4. My P-12s and above all run fine out of the boxes. The P-10 is the only one I ever had trouble with. My Glock 23 is more reliable than my P-10, but less than my other Paras. Caveat emptor, remember?

5. The Glock slide is significantly bulkier, over .30" wider, and more than an inch longer, which by my carry permit, is a LOT bigger to carry than the P-10. I have fired both, holstered both, and laid them on top of one another to check. You shot or even carried the Para or the Glock much?

You carry what you want, and be happy with it.

Don't knock what you haven't tried, especially when your research is theoretical.

I looked on there web page and only say the FFL, "in the trade" business card,

Seriously, I may be attending as a LEGIT businessMAN. :D

Walk-up creds are available, and are ungodly expensive.

Besides, it takes three days of steady walking to cover everything, and the extra day to close loops, pick up gear, etc.

Go to the site, check out the requirements, and either register, or find a local gun store who has people going to see if they will help you with a set of creds.

Good luck!

Smokin'-
I have received my clearance from HH6 for flight in Thurs, flight out Monday. Currently working on getting one of my brothers or buddies to go out there with me and share the expenses on the room, rental car, etc. If I end up going alone, I may see if you can check into that for me. I do appreciate the offer though.

If I come with a buddy, I will get creds down here by starting Saca's Outdoor exchange and getting a tax ID for it. :D

I'll put any other questions I have about the SHOT show stuff in Air.177's thread he started.http://www.professionalsoldiers.com/...ead.php?t=4622
