[daisy]

Looks like a dogwood bloom to me.

Dogwood blooms are white or pink. This flower grows on a short bush or shrub and starts with a fo-------. It is blooming now or real soon. Some people call it yellow bells or golden bells. The bloom is smaller than a dogwood and there are more than one on the limb coming out of the shrub.

1. Who designed the Obregon pistol?


2. What city was the Obregon pistol manufactured in?

This pistol was manufactured during the mid to late 1930's. Only several thousand were produced. The design relies heavily on the US M1911A1. The gun does have several original features.

[58ford]

His name was Obregon but I can't think of his first name, I think it sounded Italian.
I don't know the city, but since Mr. Obregon was Mexican I'm gonna guess mexico city.

[big john]

Alejandro Obregon
mexico city

[daisy]

?1. OK first correct responder to the complete name is Big John:smt038 :smt038

Good job by all entrants.

[58ford]

Those motherfkers are faster Googlers.
What google for contests? People actually do that? I am offended sir.
I happen to have seen one at a gunshow once (the kind where they just show the guns not the kind where you buy them)
Although it looks like a 1911 knock off ,I don't think it functions at all like one.

[maxim]

The yellow flower looks like a forsythia!

[daisy]

It is a forsythia and Fuzzis got it. that was a hard one by the way.

Robert Blake starred as Berretta & his cockatoo was named Fred.
Robert Blake is cool. I'm glad he got away with shooting his wife served that skank right.
There was also a car called Berretta, I think it was a Chevy, It sucked.

[daisy]

Thanks for that info. Couldn't remember it all.



Go 2 posts up for latest /? for hubs.

Primrose?

How about posting just a picture of the guns so nobody will have a name to google.

[daisy]

How about posting just a picture of the guns so nobody will have a name to google.






sure, I will if you'll tell me how to do that.

By the way the flower is still not named. Good tries though. It comes out before forsythia. Hint--the name of this flower is also a huge green fruit that falls off a tre that can be canned or eaten. Kind of shaped like a pear. Our grandparents probably had a lot of these.

[58ford]

Rose of Sharon?

[daisy]

Keep trying! A( Q )is in one of the words.

[58ford]

Google an image of the gun you want.
Copy its web address (at the top of the page, or right click on the image & hit "Copy image location"
Then when you post a reply press the insert image button (I looks like a little mountainscene witha yellow sky at the top of the Reply window)
Then copy the images web address into the text box that pops up.
& viola image in message.
Here's a pic of a Bren Ten

Good try but not it. Hint-- one of the words in this shrub is a fruit used for eating or canning.

Thanks for the posting tips. I will try it later.:smt038

[58ford]

Quince Bush?

[58ford]

Quince Rose?

[jmb]

kumquat?

[jmb]

I was going to guess gooseberry but that doesn't have a Q in it.

[daisy]

OK I am going to go give it to 58ford and Hawkeye. This is :smt038 a very hard one. It was a flowering quince. :smt038 :smt038 by the way, I think this flower is so pretty. I guess it is because it's one of the first ones after a long. blah, winter. It is so cheerful to see with its small, red blooms anong its thorny limbs.

[jmb]

I thot Quince too, if not, how 'bout a flowering crab apple? Or a Maahaw? (sp)

Does anybody grow mayhaws anymore? We used to get them from my great-aunt's in McComb and make jelly. That was some good stuff. :p

[daisy]

I think they're harder to find other than at old home sites. I know my nursery sells mayhaw trees. I mean the nursery I buy flowers at.

[58ford]

Does anybody grow mayhaws anymore? We used to get them from my great-aunt's in McComb and make jelly. That was some good stuff. :p
We got maypops growing all over the place in Walthall county & we make jelly & a type of wine out of them, but the grow on vines Not trees, so iguess they arent the same thing. The Flowers are real cool though.

[58ford]

I think it was the German "Paris Gun" I'm not Googling, so I don't know its range, I would assume it could reach paris from Germany (That's pretty far) and it's projectile was around 200 pounds.

[daisy]

Was it a cannon? :smt102 Sorry about the mayhaw.:confused: I have over-fertilized also.

Would the projectile be a cannon ball and a mile?:smt102 :smt102

[daisy]

Hawkeye has a ? going. I am sure I got it. lol

Ok I have a ? also for 1000 hubs to first responder with right answer.

Speaking of the Obregon handgun made in Mexico City.

Fill in the blanks ----- Disassembly of the Obregon pistol is basically the same as of M1911A1, except that there is no __________ _________ ________
__________.

Good luck.:smt006

[58ford]

It's the sliding barrel link.
That's why I earlier posted that it didn't really operate like the 1911.

[daisy]

Describe it in more detail, please or with other words.:smt102 Or what does the Obregon not have that the other one has?

[58ford]

Describe it in more detail, please or with other words.:smt102
Its the link hanging from the bottom of the barrel that the slide release/disassembly lever pin holds in place.
It pulls the barrel down so that a new cartridge can be accepted from the magazine.
I'm not sure exaclty what four words you're looking for.

[daisy]

Are you saying which gun doesn't have it and describe it more please.

[58ford]

I was describing the 1911 it has this link.
The Obregon doesn't. I'm not very familiar with the Obregon's mechanism, but I believe its barrel slides straight back into battery.

[58ford]

separate returns spring plunger

[daisy]

OK the name is separate return spring plunger and 58ford has it since he described its function and the Obregon does not have this.:smt038 :smt038 :smt038 :smt038

[daisy]

[jmb]

I don't know enough about handguns to have a favorite. The sweetest shotgun I ever shot was a Beretta 20 gauge. We called that our divorce gun. If we ever got divorced, it would be mine.

[daisy]

JMB - you got it. If you called it sweet and laid claims on it pre-divorce you have favorite for now>:smt038 :smt038 :smt038 1000 to you. I will be back later.

What happened bandwidth? :smt102
We used it all up. Aaron had to buy some more.

[daisy]

I wonder if the weekend will be slow or busy on here>:smt102

[daisy]

OK another ?

What is your opinion for a beginner civilian just needing gun for self-defense? Would you say revolver or semi-automatic and tell me why? Bonus 2000 hubs.

[58ford]

Revolver.
fewer safeties. catches, slides, releases etc. to have to learn & remember how to use in an emergency.
revolvers don't suffer from spring fatigue in the magazin so are less likely to jam or misfire.
Simple point & shoot operation.

[IGID]

I guess my favorite is my Sig Sauer P220 .45 or maybe my Bushmaster AR-15 or maybe my Heckler + Koch MP-5. I can't decide.

[daisy]

58ford has won 2000 hubs for answering the ? about choice for civilians with self-defense. His defense is the gun is more reliable and simple for a civilian--the revolver that is.

IGID gets it for favorite handgun also and I 'm caling it ended on the favorite. IGID< I don't even know some of those guns but there's lot I don't know. Good job folks.

[58ford]

Not for any points, I just wanted to say my favorite handgun is the 1911a1.
To quote Col. Jeff Cooper, "There are more powerful handguns, there are more acurrate handguns, & there are prettier handguns, but when something that wants to kill you is coming out of the darkness an arms length away, nothing feels better in your hand than a 1911."
That said, if I could only have one gun in the world be a good quality .22 semi automatic rifle.

Thanks for sharing that 58ford. I agree--the feel of the gun has to fit each person. Mine fits me and I know it's some lady's gun a 38 special I think. I went by feel and it is a revolver.

[58ford]

the feel of the gun has to fit each person.
I agree It's all about feel & comfort.
I've been shooting 1911s since I was a kid.
All the controls of the gun are now so familiar that the entire operation of it are almost subcoscious.
I've got other pistols, & I've tried many more, some that my logical human brain knew were supperior firearms, but that little animal brain isn't confident with any handgun but the 1911. My brother won't use anything but a .357 Smith. My cousins Dave & Chris Both military currently in Iraq Dave (Marine) swears by the Barretta, Chris (Air force) loves his Glock.
We all got to go shooting about a year ago. there was no clearly superior shot, but many tin cans met their maker.

[daisy]

Thanks for that 58ford, we are all different. I think it is kind of like a relationship with a horse. You get along better with some than others. A rappore that works when it does and when it doesn't, you want another horse or gun.

I am still thinking bout the next ?:smt102

[daisy]

And I am ready. This is a different type of question. I am giving you an honest opinion ? for an average citizen. For example I have a gun in my home and carry it in my car. This is for 10 people. Reserve your spot for 1500 hubs. Essay ? If you want this post mine with your name Adv and disadvantages of an average citizen having a carry permit to carry anywhere. Deadline by Wednesday night Don't have to put your name the post does it--I forgot.

I know there is a permit where someone is allowed to carry. I have concerns and can see some benefits for the average person. Someone who does not have law enforcement experience and regular training target shooting. I would like to hear your opinion on the above aimed toward a regular citizen. Your concerns and fears and also the benefits. also any experiences with any of this.

I know this can take time and some type faster than others and give glib answers and some will think it out or share a previous thought out opinion.

To ease the pressure off this part just sign in and say --I'll take it and you have until Wednesday night to get it done and posted on here. 1500 hubs for those that dare this?


For example if I want to do it, I would sign in and say Mine -Daisy and then post it. I would then go back at my leisure and do it by Wednesday night.

[58ford]

Yeah, Daisy, 58ford would like to try this one.

[fuzzis]

I'll give it a go too.
