    I have not bought a conversion barrel. No plans for it right now. Both pistols are pretty accurate, at least for my standards, the Pro especially. You will like the Pro model if you like the compact. It fits me like a glove.

    My Fiancee can shoot my Glock 23 just fine, but her tiny hands prevent her from being able to press the mag release button with her right thumb (its a two handed operation) and same goes with the slide stop lever. The grip is simply too large/boxy for her.

    And what really sucks, is that my pistol was JUST delivered to my FFL who is just a few blocks away and he's going out of town, so I won't be able to pick my pistol up until next week Wednesday. What makes me more upset is that I asked him before I purchased it, if he had any trips planned within the next few weeks because the last two times I ordered firearms and shipped them to him, they were delivered right before he left town for a week again. He said no, then when I get notice of shipment, he says he's going out of town. Might need to find a new FFL because I'm a little sick of this!

    The LGS charges $100 for transfer fees, to force people to buy their guns directly from them. The only problem is that they mark up their firearms to MSRP. I got my M&P40c for about $150 less than my LGS sells it for, then they also charge tax too.

    If his transfer prices are in line with the few FFL's in your area, then yes. if he's priced right you need to have a chat with him. New Mexico The Land of Manana'.. I'll get to it tomorrow..ese

    Meh, they're a little on the high side ($25, a few pawn shops are $10-15 and another few FFL's are $20 but they're super flaky and won't even return phone calls for weeks). The appeal is he's down the street from me and he's retired mil, but still works on base so he gets home at 4pm and can meet anytime after that.

    Otherwise, had I known he was going out of town, ya know if he answered my question truthfully, I would have shipped it to a pawn shop over in Cruces thats $10 and then I'd have it in my hands right now as I'm in Cruces for a few more hours today.

    It's embarrassing when you zone out on a phone conference and then realize that they're talking to you, so you start replying. Then everyone continues to act like you aren't talking.

    Then, you realize the mute button is still on your phone!

    Default Tribute to Miley

    ::::::::::::::::::the lyrics are much better than the video still's:::::::::::

    We want topless women in our music videos
    We want pop stars acting like they're in a porno
    You know we want it and we gettin' what we ask for
    But when Miley does it we say "Oh my God No!!"

    Why's she acting like a ho, this is so wrong, we all object
    Where did she get the idea to act like a sexual object?
    I suspect she is on drugs, I think she's losing her mind
    Did you see her shaking her ass on TV, singing "Blurred Lines"
    Which is such a wholesome song, I can't believe she ruined it
    Her slutty moves made Robin Thicke look misogynistic
    What a bitch, she makes me sick, doesn't she have ethics?
    How dare she try to use sex to sell pop music!

    We want topless women in our music videos
    We want pop stars acting like they're in a porno
    We want it and we always get what we ask for
    But when Miley does it we say "Oh my God No!!"

    The line's no longer blurred you crossed it and upset the nation
    Don't get us wrong, we're super cool with objectification
    But it's hard to watch you play that part, we've know you for too long
    So please go back to singing the Hannah Montana theme song
    And we'll go back to watching others do exactly what you did
    And we won't be offended cause we can not picture them as kids
    And we'll be cool with videos with women prancing around naked
    And it won't be sexist as long as the song's a number 1 hit

    We want topless women in our music videos
    We want pop stars acting like they're in a porno
    We want it and we gettin' what we ask for
    But when Miley does it we say "Oh my God No!!"

    Miley, oh Miley.
    You're upsetting everybody
    By being so slutty,
    Unlike all the other pop stars....
