Wow......I could see if this individual did something terrible to someone in your family or was threatening your life, a human but a vehicle, a material possession? Come on. We all pay insurance for a reason. Cars come and go through the times. I sure don't want to spend any time behind bars because I shot someone to death because the schlep was trying to steal my truck. My life is worth a bit more than that to me.


PB gas...Did you read the original post? He assaulted the owner. Broke his nose, screwed up his tear duct etc.... He should just sit there and be beaten to death? Hell no, the attacker deserved to be shot. I don't wish death on anyone, but he chose to put himself in that position, not the Victim


PS...Black1...reduce that picture size dude, you made my post look a mile long

Yeah I don't think i'd shoot to kill, i'm not a violent person, but if i had a gun and a permit, and someone was attacking me, you can bet i'll be filling their knees with bullets, that'll make you think twice next time you wheelchair up to another Lightning owner. I wouldn't ever shoot to kill unless they were trying to do the same to, odds are beating my **** isn't going to kill me

You carry a gun (with a circleK logo on the grip) in the event someone wants to steal your cheap Rolex knock-off?

Get a gun so you cna remove them from them having the possibility of taking your life for your truck. That way anyone whos retarded enough to risk your life or their own life to steal a car can get their knees blown off. sounds good huh Jersy girl?

LOL Thats funny!!! If you knew anything about horology (The art of watch making), you would know that Invicta is a well recognized and respected watch brand. There newest model, with a diamond and Gideon Meteroite dial (worth about $8,000) graced the cover of International Wristwatch Magazine this month.

Also funny, the gun "with a circleK" is a Kahr Arms P9. Its is one of the best built small arms in the industry. Also very well known and respected.

Better read up next time before you sling ****ty remarks about other posts. Better yet just stick to Lightnings...

kobiashi-

Here, is this better? The watch is still an Invicta... But hey, what can I say, I like 'em.



Oh well, I guess, at this angle they kind of all look the same in California.

Where is that? In Carmel Indiana?
Ooohhhh . . . horology . . . impressive.

Because you seem to have limited knowledge of fine watches, I'll help you out here:

Any company that replicates someone else's designs makes what is known as a knock-off, a cheap imitation of the original, usually for people who are "wanna-bes" but can't afford the real thing.

Here are some fine watches that horologists would consider "fine" .
IWC
Chronoswiss
Ulysse Nardin

too name but a few.

I collect watches son, don't tell me about watches.

WOW...$8,000! I bought my ex a DaVinci IWC that was 23 grand, but the price isn't what makes it a great watch. And isn't it wonderful that Invecta, makers of cheap knock-offs can also make an 8000 dollar watch?!?! Did you buy that one?

As for the Kahr P9, I know what it is although I will admit never having encountered one as no one I know owns one, so I decide to read up on them before I made my "circle K" remark. Funny you should mention how I had better read up because here is what I found on the web, before, I made my little joke:

Make: Kahr Model: PM9 Action: Double Action Caliber: 9mm
Rating: 1 star out of 5
Review: As a long time police officer with a life time of handgun experince I was looking for a small off duty weapon. I researched the Kahr PM9 extensively and thought I was buying a law enforcement quality weapon. I could not have been more wrong. This thing is not fit for any type of law enforcement carry where ones life may depend on it. I fired 200 rounds of FMJ and JHP and suffered one malfunction after the other. The rounds would come out of the magazine and jam on the right side of the off centered feed ramp. This was all name brand factory ammo. The pistol was not accurate at all out of the box and from a bench rest shot consistantly several inches to the left of the point of aim. The magazine release button worked only some of the time. Kahr has offered to fix or replace this brand new pistol but after this experience I would never trust any of their products with my life. Pass this by if you are going to bet your life on it.

and this:

Make: Kahr Model: P9 Action: Double Action Caliber: 9mm
Rating: 1 star out of 5
Review: I bought a Kahr P9 about six months ago after reading all the great reviews. When breaking it down to clean the first time, when I removed the slide stop the very small piece of plastic (polymer?) holding the slide stop spring in place went shooting across the room--apparently they didn't glue it in as well as they should. After sending email to Kahr and leaving a message on their "customer service" answering machine (no reply to either) I took it back to the place I bought it. They sent it back to Kahr, and a month later I got it back with a half-assed fix. They had slapped some glue on the small plastic piece and then put a machine screw through the part to hold it in place--definitely not as good as new. Everyone at the gun shop couldn't believe what they saw. Needless to say, I didn't want another Kahr, so they refunded my money. The one time I shot it was great, but after this experience I just wasn't comfortable with the P9's reliability, nor the standards of the company in repairing it. Before you buy one, strip it down and take a close look at how the slide stop spring is retained. It's definitely not the quality of my H&K Compact.


and this:

Make: Kahr Model: K9 Action: Double Action Caliber: 9mm
Rating: 2 stars out of 5
Review: I owned a Kahr for about 6 months. The box claimed it had a Nickle finish, the gun was their black coating. It started to rust from carry contact. I called Kahr and asked to have it nickled as the box stated. They said that the box label was printed in error and would not be obligated to refinish the gun. I had it hard chromed and then sold it. Their customer service leaves much to be desired. I will not buy another nor do I recommend the Kahr to any of my shooting buddies.

Well, you get the idea...

Guess I know why no one I know owns one.
