- First, I think the idea of the keyword is marginally good but we
- do have to use the KISS priciple here. Notice the "one word subject
- descriptor located within the field of the Subject line".
-
- As Martin David Frankel suggested, just a single word prefacing the
- body of the Subject line, with:
-
- PISTOL
- RIFLE
- RELOAD
- and Other/Misc is anything without a specific Subject Keyword. If you
- use it, great; and if not, then there is no change from current operation
- in this "Kinder, gentler newsgroup".
-
- OK, now to the real reason (Ha!) for this post.
-
- I am thinking of getting a new toy/goodie/shiny doodad. (Awk! Mike
- sees new shiny thing. Awk! Mike wants new shiny thing. Said in a
- 'parrot' kind of voice.) The lastest trinket to catch my eye (Ouch! I
- hate getting my eye caught on the edge of a gun) is a Colt Double Eagle
- full sized in 10mm. Why? I don't have a 10mm handgun yet :-}
-
- So, does _anybody_ out there have a Colt Double Eagle? Anybody?
-
- .. What are your general impressions of the gun?
-
- .. What model do you have? (Full size 5", Combat Commander 4 1/4", or
- Officer's 3 1/2" or 3 1/2" lightweight)
-
- .. What caliber do you have? (.45 acp, 10mm, or .40 S&W {blech} )
-
- .. What sights do you have? (Fixed 3-dot combat or Colt adjustable rear sight)
-
- .. How do you like the gun?
-
- .. What do you use it for? (Duty gun, concealed carry, target, plinking,
- home defense, hunting, "just because"?)
-
- .. I handled a full-sized .45 acp. There is just the decocker, right? No
- magazine disconnect safety (yippie) and no external safety, but are
- there any internal trigger/hammer safeties?
-
- Send me e-mail and I'll summarize and post the replies in about a week.
-
- Thanks!
-
- ps: I'm straightening up the replies I got to my question
- about .44 loads, to be summarized and posted in about
- another week also. Thanks guys!
