Re: Should an Emoticon Panel be added to the Message area?

I thought the last time we discussed this we agreed men don't have emotions.

But that's so not 21st Century ... oh, but we're old 20th Century geezers ...

Love my LP300 ... but the trigger was so unreliable! I have three different trigger units ... and they've all let me down. But the feel of the pistol and trigger is wonderful ... imo

No, Just trying to keep it quick and cheap. The LP300 can use 3,000 lbs, most only 2,000. It's been a while ... what do folks do? Buy used scuba tanks?

I've had a number of olympic air pistols and have gotten to try out others. I DO have to say that although of course the grip needs to be modified to fit the shooter ... there are some pistols that just felt good to me and others didn't.
