Detroit Cell Phone

The industry has finally come up with a cell phone for those that live in Detroit.

I wonder if they have service in North Dakota too?

Comments

I am going to take a wild guess and say this will not be allowed on airliners???

I think you’ll have to turn off the phone and remove the clip when they close the cabin doors.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

It’s hard to dial 9 - 1 - 1 when you’re gripping it properly, but then, you generally don’t need to!



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

And they did it on my personal favorite: the .40 cal Model 23!

I’ve got one myself.  I wonder if there’s a retrofit kit?

Me, too! Not sure I’ll have much use for a phone though, after they pry it from my cold dead fingers!

As a Michigander...and one that is NOT a fan of Detroit, it’d take more than a .40 cal semi-auto with a cell phone for me to go there.

markm on July 19, 2007 at 08:03 am

I am surprised these did not originate in Texas. I can see Texans lining up to get a shot at one of these…

Zsa Zsa on July 19, 2007 at 08:19 am

I’ve got the .45 Glock. Good piece.

If you walk with authority, put your hat on crooked, and say out “what up doe!”, you’ll be fine in Detroit. It also helps to ask every crackhead you see for change. That throws them for a loop!

likwidshoe on July 19, 2007 at 08:55 am

It also helps to smoke Newport ciggs and “Black E Mild” cigars. You’ll be in with 90% of the ghetto!

Nah, we Texans prefer to be able to talk on the phone (you know, getting the shopping list from our wives) while we’re shooting goblins.  That’s kind of hard to do if you combine the phone and gun.

kbiel on July 19, 2007 at 09:30 am

Kbiel, the proper thing to do is to put them on speaker or use one of those weird bluetooth things.

You can’t use the weaver technique while you’re holding the phone.

Toot, if you can’t hit consistently single hand grip you are already in trouble.

I live just north of Dallas.  Lived here all but the first three months of my life.  I’ld live down in the Hill Country if I had my druthers.

You only need weaver if you shooting 9mm since you have to hit them in the head.  With a .40 or (my preference) a .45, you can drop them with a center mass shot.

kbiel on July 19, 2007 at 10:45 am

I don’t know, k, I run 167gr jacketed hollowpoints, 9mm parabelum, and they got knockdown just drippin’ off them.

OK, but can you get that at your local sporting goods store?  I haven’t seen anything but 115 grain at the one nearest my house.  Of course, I don’t much look at it since I don’t own a 9.  (I’ve been meaning to look at one for my wife though.  She might come shooting with me [and hopefully carry] if the recoil were a little bit easier on her.)

kbiel on July 19, 2007 at 11:35 am

Depends on how wide a variety your hardrice dealer carries. They are a Remington cartridge, usually you can find them in 147gr most places. The 167s are harder to find. Though you Grock shooters don’t have to have a rounded shoulder hollowpoint, y’all can run the wide aperture, flat shoulder bullets. Only complaint I have about Walther P-1 is the feed ramp is comparatively steep and tends to hang flat faced bullets.

Oh, and my mistake! They are marked as 9mm Luger, not Parabelum. And this is probably not the thread to hold THAT debate in. smile

Well, that gun could prove to be quite handy. You can eliminate your friends from your life and phone contact list at the same time.

Sheesh… LOL,I hope y’all know, 95% of the words coming from my mouth are some form of sarcasm. I am not an evil person Mr. The Whistler and in fact, I am rather enjoyable and fun to be around. On the other hand, don’t let what I just said fool you into underestimating my ability to be quite the opposite.  wink

Mine included “Bang, bang, she shot me down” and “I shot the sheriff”!

Marty Robbins Big Iron.

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn’t have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip
for the stranger there among them had a big cell phone on his hip
Big cell phone on his hip

Since I notice some of you mentioned what you have ... far be it from me to be left out smile
Colt MK IV Officers Series 80, brushed stainless steel, Has the 3 1/2” barrel and I’d show you a pic but someone stole it out of my car while I was at my grandma’s funeral. Pathetically, so far it was the only pistol I could pull the slide back on my own. Such is life.

The Whistler: Thank you so much, like an idiot I always thought the lyrics were . . .

To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him didn’t have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip for the stranger there amongst them had a big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side slowly lookin’ all around
He’s an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip
And he’s here to do some business with the big iron on his hip, big iron on his hip.

Man I totally missed the cell phone lyrics!


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Anna: Beretta made a pistol, the Bobcat, with a tip up barrel which doesn’t require a lot of hand strength to chamber a round.
They made it in .25 and .22LR, which are a bit anemic, but better than a knife in a gunfight.

Proof, they also had a tip up .380.

Get with the times, this is the 21st century.  We’ve got combination cell phones, ipods, web browser and firearms now.
