Not a fan of hanging lights or lasers from handguns, JMHO. Nice to see the Philly Po-Po will get involved when a robbery goes South and a bad guy becomes ventilated, so there is that. Bel Air, MD is a nice little town just North of Baltimore. I wouldn’t go there on a bet, unarmed.
So there we are, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes, 1 / 2 / 0 to start the work week. Stay home, social distance if not, and wash those mitts.

All three of you are a “GO” at this station, no further range time needed. BUT….two of you should have applied the Taxpayer Savings One More Shot.
Group! Fall in!
Attention!
Dismissed!
Damn St Charles was a nice area when I was stationed there. Guess shitngets bad all over STL area.
Yup, the St Louis area (or as we called it, the DMZ) is competing with Chiraq.
Basically, stay out of St Louis except to go to Busch Stadium.
And for that, park the Metro lot at Scott AFB and take the train to the ball park.
Go straight back after the game.
Do not stay in St Louis…
Definitely do not get off of the train in East St Louis…
Well I know I’m late to formation so I’ll give an accounting of myself.
(1) It’s Monday
(2) I got sidetracked by some previously unseen episodes of Paladin AND Perry Mason.
(3) Reading of the St Charles MO article reminded me I have not made it to the Arch and due to the crime rate there may never will.
(4) The Philly thing? The po po won’t arrest common street thugs but will lock up a citizen defending his business? YGBSM (again) See Sunday’s FGS.
(5) The Baltimore story reminded me of the visit to the Chesapeake Bay Seafood Rest. and their all you can eat Shrimps and Crab Legs. The Manager came out and said we had had all we could eat. Good Times!
(6) Playing catchup from the overnight comments. I have arrived…Mick now hates me…along with AW1Ed. I’m in good company. It’s an honor coming from the #1 critic of a Top Naval Aviation Motion Picture.
(7) The trauma of seeing that gawdawful light hanging underneath that drop dead gorgeous example of JMB’s (Howitzer be his name) Model 1911. The Horror!
That is an abomination before the lord.
Nice 1911! Reminds me of my Commemorative Para Ordinance from my time with the 101st in Afghanistan. Except mine has dark grips like the safety and slide lock.
Q for information’s sake:
Say I had a nice new Springfield Defender 1911 (just for argument sake – not saying I actually have one – koff!koff!), with generic grips.
Would it be a Mortal Sin to my Immortal Soul to have a pair of grips 3D printed to replace the generic grips? Or is such a thing not even done, doable, and/or feasible (ie, too soft plastic)
Just asking, ya know.
My, err, a friend’s Colt Defender sports medium Alumagrips in place of the OEM grips. Better fit and grip, and conceals better.
Thx, ‘Ed,
I’ll pass this along to my l’il frien’.
I will say that the light looks wrong on the 1911
It is way oversize and takes away from the classic look of the gun.
I am a huge fan of crimson trace laser grips.
Especially for those of us with older eyes, they improve hit probability
