Re: Gun Talk/ Gun Show thread.
In my quest to get high capacity magazine guns before any ban I just put a Taurus 840 on layaway. It is a 40 s&w caliber pistol that comes with two 15 round magazines (plus I have ordered one more).
I know I am going to get grief about buying a Taurus but this newer 800 model line (809 for 9mm, 845 for .45 and my 840 for .40 s&w caliber) has a pretty good reputation. It also has many things appealing to a lefty like me. Mag release and safety on both sides. They are discontinuing the stainless steel duo tone model for 2013 that I like so much so grabbed one of the last ones.
The bottom line is that for $359 this is about half what the brands and models I would really like to have cost. I can see how well I like the 40 cal then if I want to upgrade to the Springfield XDm or Smith and Wesson M&P I would really like to have I believe I can sell it for about what I am paying for it.
I am getting this 40 in lieu of a 9mm as I had originally planned but if finances allow it may still get a high capacity mag 9mm toward the end of the year. There is a Springfield XDm with 19 capacity like.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
