Come on guys were all in the same boat together and you don't feel like i do too? Sorry for the rant. Plus we need to besafe too. The gun can be replaced but we can. I don't like it when were in danger too. So far no one has been hurt right?
Another things is some guys shoot there guns more than others. I'm sure some just collect and don't shoot that much. I'm hoping to shoot more often now that i'm retired and have more time to shoot.
I once thought i had the best revolver ever made with the redhawk next to the super red/super black in 44mag.
Now your saying its only the newer round ones that are having problems now? Is there any pics that shows the difference between the two models? My older brother passed away over 10 years ago and he left me another redhawk in 44mag w/7 1/2" barrel. Its brand new and has only been to the range once being this old is it a round one as you guys are saying. Bill
I will never complain about the ecomony, I never asked why me when i got laid off back in the 80's too then i retired at 52yo in 2002 and i have three incomes comming in right now i'm golden so don't worry about me complaining. My point is you shuold get a RIA or 410k and slam it now putting every extra dollar you can afford in it. When you get older like me it will pay off. But i do purchase the best quality product for my hard earned dollar and i don't care who makes it our where it comes from but it has to be the best quality product thats available right now. I can't afford to purchase the samething over and over because of poor quality(redhawk). I'm not rich but i'm breaking even and nowadays thats good too. And i do feel bad for the ones who are still in the workforce these recessions suck.
Subaru's assembled here, John deere made in Japan, were a service country now like clean the bathroom, add toilet paper, serve food,cook food, wash cars. My point is we will not manufacture anything here and only our babies will be made here. I worked for a top 10 engineering group in the USA and we designed and tested new products plus did life testing too. We designed it here in the USA and it went to one of our sister companies across the pond to be manufactured. Our brains there muscle. We have sister divisions in every country around the globe. We just built a very large plant in Brazil. Its so big we don't have the work to operate it at 100%. Now the mexicans are here taking the lower pay jobs. Thank god for them because most americans on that level don't want to work. I quit high school to go to work because i got tired of picking up 5 cent bottles to return them to buy a loaf of bread at 16yo. We either worked or went without it was up to us and still is too.
BTW; Don't give me the buy american BS, where was everyone when i lost my job in '83, again in '84, and again in '85??? I only worked 3 months per year in those three years so i worked only 9 months for three years because of the lower priced imported machine tools. I was a machine builder/erector. I been there thru the worst times and no one gave a crap about it back then. No one was there when my unemployment checks ran out too. Did you know they count the people on unemployment but don't see the number of people when there benifits runout. These people aren't figured in exactly into the unemployment ratings. The ratings should be much higher even today. These people don't fall off the end of the planet there still out there. Then we call it recessions its really a depression. I made it thru some really bad times but what saved me was a big garden that we planted. I had 100 tomato plants for canning alone. You can take the canned tomatoes, a 1 lb package of ground chopmeat, a 1lb package of macroni, some cheese and some homemade garlic bread and eat great at a cheap cost. I made sure my three small kids ate good that was the number one thing. We went to the super market and purchased the marked down meats too. When you tighten the belt, shop smart we can eat good and cheap too. Not one person said back then to buy american and now all of a sudden its buy american? We were sold out back in '83 with all the imported stuff comming into our country afterall its our fair trade system thats biting us you know where. As the gas prices are going higher we will go deeper into this recession too i believe it will get even worse the next time the bottom drops even lower. Our politicians need to stop arguing amogst themselves and get busy to straighten this out soon. My point is i been there many times in the past. Plant a big garden and grow what you can so your family will eat good while we get thru this. It sucks when we want to work and can't find a job. Godbless, keep the faith, Bill
Meals to eat cheap by;
Take some pepperoni sliced up, some fresh green beans and put them in a pot with tomato sauce and let it simmer till the pepperoni/beansa re tender then serve with garlic bread.
Take 1lb of chopmeat fry it up drain it and put it over 1lb of macroni/cheese mix another quick good meal.
Take a can of baked beans, slice hotdogs like a canoe just one cut. Then stuff them with cheese and put the beans on the bottom with the hotdogs on top and cover it withy bacon. Cook until the bacon is done.
Take a piece of white bread add a slice of cheese, place a hotdog inside it and roll it up in alumimum foil like saltwater taffy curl the twisted ends up in the direction of the opening in the bread. Place in the oven at 375 with the ends up so the cheese won't run out then bake it for 20 to 30 minutes till the dogs are cooked and serve.
There's nothing wrong with tuna melts too? Even the old peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are good too. They bring back memories.
