[TriLUG] OT: Guns

[Greg Brown]

I have a Glock chambered for .45, have had it for years.  I've even got the
"big clips" that someone told me I can no longer purchase, not to mention to
boxes of Eagle Black Talons.  :)

The Glock fits my hand rather well, but I don't shoot much.  In fact I
haven't shot a target in years.
