Independence Day Quandary

[JohnHL]

On the Fourth of July it would seem unpatriotic to shoot a caliber with "mm" in the name.

It's just got to be 45acp.

But do I shoot it out of my Turkish Tisas 1911 or one of my all American Smith and Wessons?

John?

Happy Independence Day, everyone!

 

[lihpster]

Shoot both. By the way, I'm pretty sure our forefathers would have liked one of those nines with 15 rounds and a quick magazine reload.

No love for the 5.56?

No love for the 5.56?

Loves me some 5.56x45!

Also 7.62x51 and 7.62x63.

I shoot them all.

But today I call them .223; .308; and .30-06; respectively.

And heavy on the RESPECTIVELY!

John

On the Fourth of July it would seem unpatriotic to shoot a caliber with "mm" in the name.

Just think of "mm" as Marvelous <James> Madison.

He wrote the first draft of the Constitution and sponsored the Bill of Rights.

God bless our Country!

Things could be better, but we're still the greatest nation on Earth.

Our forefathers used muskets bought, donated, and captured from around the world during the war and later.
You may fire away your Tisas with a clear conscience.

Shooting metric and inch caliber guns just goes to show how lucky we are to have the choice. Happy 4th.

This is the very first Independence Day I have not celebrated! No range, no party, no neighborly BBQ - I am so saddened by current events here in our Country recently I am just not in a celebratory mood.

My Wife and I just threw a few home made Burgers on the grill, baked a few potatoes, made a tomato, onion and Gorgonzola cheese salad with Peter Luger's steak sauce and it was a very uneventful day.

Don't mean to be a "downer" here, it's just the way I feel today on America's Birthday. Tomorrow I am planning on a Range trip.

My Win. model 94 30-30 still works just fine.
