    buying weapons with credit cards

    I don't buy until I have the funds to pay, but I will use a Visa platinum card for any major purchase due to the fact that it extends any manufacturers warranty by one year. Pay the bill when it comes in.

    What do you use to remove those burn rings from the cylinder face?

    I use Slip2000 Carbon Cutter. You can either hang the cylinder in the jar for a few minutes and rinse off (best method) or wet the surface with Carbon Cutter and wipe off a few minutes later. Works for me.

    You lucky people in Colorado.

    I never realized just how much crap I lugged around....

    Cslinger, What type of holster does your P7 snuggle into? How does it ride? It looks like a fairly basic OWB style. I've been looking for a OWB crossdraw for my P7M8 that will handle its butt-heavy balance. Thanks in advance.

    How old are you?

    60. Another old fart working on becoming a curmudgeon. I remember Noah saying, "I want the first pair, the rest are yours". :D
