Evil normal cap mags, or evil greater than normal cap mags?

TAM, I dare you to define "normal"...

Easy peasy: it's whatever the pistol was designed to use and originally sold with, anywhere outside of Commifornia or any of the other marxist states. For the Glock 19 for instance, that would be a 15 round magazine. I use "greater than normal" because it is difficult to define "high." To someone with a 100 round magazine for a Glock, a 33 round magazine is not particularly "high" capacity. And for someone with a belt-fed weapon, a 100 round magazine is not "high." This is one of the very few situation where the correct answer truly is situational.

Also got the book "American Sniper-Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in US Military History". It is about Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle.

Bought myself an AR Pistol buffer tube.

I read that book earlier this year, right after it first came out. The realtor who helped us by our home here in Texas and has become a very good friend of mine, attended Tarleton State and did a little rodeoing with Chris Kyle. My friend remains today the only person who ever shot Chris Kyle in the butt and lived to tell about it. The guys in their apartment building were having a BB gun war. Kyle was shooting through a screen in a darkened room, well back from the window. My friend was outside. When Kyle stopped to reload, he apparently bent over to pickup his BBs off the floor or something, and my friend shot him right in the butt, right through the screen, and then ran like heck.

Beer was involved.

Well, she used my phone and the screen had a posting from TAM about AR red dots, scopes, and sights. After reading his post she bought me a Burris AR-536 Prism Sight. Thanks TAM, I'll let you know what I think of it when I get the opportunity to try it out.

Hah! You're more than welcome. I think you'll like it. It's the poor man's ACOG.

You got that right. And I for one am glad you finally got out of there and back home. Merry Christmas!

Back to the original thread-- Santa brought me a S&W 686, case of .38 ammo, socks and underwear.....

My GoPro had been previously purchased and returned, so my wife got a bit a discount on it. Everything was there EXCEPT the owner's manual. So I tried to get it downloaded from the website, and it took for-ev-er. Here's the link to the PDF if your son needs it: http://gopro.com/wp-content/uploads/201 ... AL_Web.pdf

The 686 and the ammo are a neat gift.

I got a GoPro Hero 3 HD Black camera from my wife, son, and DIL. That was the "big" gift. I also got a box of Whoppers, a small package of Jelly Belly jellybeans, and a large box of mixed nuts.

Unfortunately, the camera does not have an internal memory chip, and it requires a micro SD card which is not included in the kit. So I've got to make a trip to Best Buy tomorrow morning to pick one up, and a second battery and a battery charger.
