Well, the temps came up around here and my wife and I ended up putting
about 100 miles on the Harley's. When we got home, I lit of the BBQ
and cooked a couple of steaks, so even if I didn't get to shoot, I had

so many hobbies, so little time off.

www.m1911.org

I've been looking at the laser sights they have listed in there. They
