He's Back !!!

No, not me, but I'm working on it!

Bill Whittle returns from the toils of Tinseltown.  Go get reaquainted.

As for me, the long anticipated aquisition of a replacement laptop has failed.  Sometimes, the technology trumps the best of efforts, and the laptop in question appears to be quite literally, a non-starter.

So, never saying die, here's Plan B:

That's a Styer M-9 pistol, chambered in the ever-present 9mm Europellet.  The example in my possession has digested only 20 rounds.  It has three ten-round magazines, the original factory case, key and manual.  List MSRP is $650, and I'm seeing 'em on the average market for between $450 and $550, depending if it's found at a store or a Evil Loophole Gunshow.

My kingdom for a keyboard, my Styer for a good, used but usuable laptop. 

I'm needing something Win XP, a 14"-ish screen, and not totally out-of-date. 

Trade, anyone? 

Of course, all BATF transfer laws to be scrupulously followed.  If you're interested, e-mail me for details, m'kay?

Steyr, hmmm. Odd bird, eh?

Tell ya what: if you dig up a companion piece, say a Steyr AUG and throw it in the deal, I'll buy you a brand new laptop or maybe two.

However, I am looking for a smaller 9mm for das frau, or maybe a 5-shot revolver. She has teeny-tiny hands, can't even hold one of my SP-101's.

I'm thinking Star PD, or maybe a Detonics nine...

Good thing I didn't buy it on Friday ;) Again, a pleasure, Jim!

Rivrdog... get your hands on one at a local gunstore....it's got a very small grip diameter. And an easy trigger to boot.

But don't chase down the AUG. It looks super-cool, but the balance and ergonomics are poor, indeed.

And A.R.L? I can always ship to your local FFL. *grin*

Bloody Hell...

If I was in the US instead of France, I could set you up quite well.

I'm currently using my older Windows XP laptop as a music server in my apartment in France.

The shipping and customs fees wouldn't make a trade worth it, and the gun would have to go in storage somewhere.

Damn...

Good luck in finding a laptop. If you get cash, I can help you find a good laptop relatively cheap. I have a talent for that...
