In apreciation of member 12131

FANTASTIC post!!!

The fact that you took the time to publicly express your appreciation and gratitude for such an overwhelming expression of generosity, makes you a first class act.

And THAT, in-turn, is a testament to greatness that is the SigForum community.

On behalf of all of us, thank you "Mr. Q" (aka 12131).

I am happy and proud to be a member of this forum.
The depth of knowledge and caring feelings expressed here are not often found in today's me me society.

If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made.

He's generous but I think of him foremost as a human encyclopedia of guns and can unload a boatful of knowledge on just the barest of clues or pics.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I've only shot a P228 once. Very nice and better than the P226's I had at the time.

Fine weapon to buy and an almost unbeatable karma.

You've got me beat. I've never even held a P228. As far as 12131 I would think that he very happy from the pleasure he gives members here with his generosity. And I think he's just as generous off the forum. A man everyone would want to know and enjoy friendship with.

No doubt about it 12131 is an amazing person! Not only is he a credit to SIGforum, but a credit to the whole gun community.

Enjoy that P228, she's a beauty. I never loved my old P229 duty gun, but always loved P228s. Now that my old P229 is gone, I find myself wanting a P228 myself. Enjoy!

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
