Gratuitous Gun Pic: MAC 1911 JSOC (.45 ACP)

Gratuitous Gun Pics, Gun/Ammo Tests

Evil Reader John C. sent me a link to the 1,000-round test of this lovely budget 1911:

Okay, it’s a 1911 so I’m going to like it, and it comes with all sorts of standard stuff like a titanium trigger, ambi-safety, adjustable rear sight and (yes!) a brass bead front sight.  My only quibble is this unnecessary protuberance on the grip safety…
…but I’ve griped about it often enough so I won’t repeat it here.

Most of all, I like the price point (around $750 street) which, considering the effects of Bidenflation (don’t get me started) is quite acceptable.

And the tester likes it fine, but they always do, don’t they?  Certainly, though, the MAC came through the 1,000-round test without any major issues, which is more than you can say about a lot of the budget guns on the market nowadays.

And it looks like a proper 1911, none of that front-of-slide serration nonsense that all the cool kids seem to demand.

Monday Funnies

Funny Stuff

Yep… Monday, in a nutsack.  Meanwhile, on the Funny Front:


As my friend Patterson says:  “Most days, I don’t even want sex.  Just… silence.”

And just a teeny detour with a little something for our OCD friends:

And back we go to our scheduled programming:

And speaking of long drinks of water on a sunny day, here’s some Robert McGinniss mcgoodness:

Now finish dressing and head off into Monday.

Take Yer Pick

Drive Time

Well, you were about to catch a flight out of St. Louis after having sold your company to a bunch of Missouri bankers, but Al Qa’eda / ISIS / Hamas blew up the airport, fortunately before you got there.

With the concomitant chaos, you figure that your best bet to get home is to drive there, wherever “home” is.  But you’ve got a large check in your briefcase, and as it happens, you come across Daniel Schmitt & Co, a purveyor of fine cars to the discerning customer — so you think to yourself, “What Would Kim Do?”, and of course, Kim would take some of that money and buy a decent car for the drive home.  Especially when Messrs. Schmitt & Cie. have things like this available:

Assume, for the sake of it, that all the cars in their showroom would be reliable enough to get you home (even the British and Italian ones).

So browse among them, and pick the ONE you would dump the dough on, start up and set off in.  And let me know in Comments which one, and why.

It may take you a while…

Hey, speaking of fallen icons:

Some more Scumbag News (Sex Division):


...normally I’d be wondering what took so long;  but this asshole redefines the term “scumbag”.

And speaking of same:

Turning to Woke News:

In the Department of Economics:


...never mind buying a house;  you need more than that just to buy fucking groceries.

Military News:

So let’s all head off to the weekend:

New Bogeymen Required

Health

Oy.  Here’s one to make us all do a desk faceplant:

While an increase in cancer risk has long been linked to smoking, red meat, environmental factors such as pollution and second hand smoke, and lifestyle habits like booze intake and weight, doctors are now looking at ultra processed foods, oral sex and vaping as some of the possible causes.

Any bets as to whether they’ll find what they’re looking for?

Of course they will, because doctors are busybody killjoys who just love telling people how to run their own lives.

Oh, and let’s not forget:
