Seldom right...Always opinionated!
I'm one of those don't care for glocks guys even though I still own a few. Just have never been great in my hand.

$1,500 for a p220?!. No thanks. I can do the same with a Glock for 1/3 the price.

Had a close call today with a large dead tree. So today was a wet and miserable day so I left my phone at home unfortunately. So the story is i got a large dead standing beech tree around 3' wide but it was leaning over a road, not a major lean ,so I climbed up to the top and and put a snatch block on it with a cable through it and attached to a bigger tree and a large John deere tractor (200+hp). I cut a good notch out of the tree and I was in the middle of bore cutting but the ground started to move under my feet so I pulled the saw and ran (definitely would have outran Usain bolt) the tractor driver thought I gave him a signal to pull the tree The whole tree uprooted bringing a large root ball with it. I definitely thought I was at deaths door but at least it didn't land on the road 
I'd have no problem dropping that on a good big game rifle but never on a pistol!
Used ones are $500. I like my FNX with 16 rounds, though. I want to buy a Glock and convert it to 460 Rowland.
Well focus guys , back to firewood ...

Took down another dead pine along the edge of my woods today no pics though.
And on a log deck. Kickback country. She does know what she's doing though.
G'day Neil, I've never burned cider gum but I do know that you can ferment the sap and get boozed
. It's from Tasmania, cool climate and fairly fast growing so I wouldn't expect it to be a massively dense eucalypt. Probably much like oak. Get it and burn it and watch it burn so you can save the info in the memory banks for the next time.

whats a matter with you guys makin your grandma cut trees down? even if it is spruce. at least you gave her a good saw.
at least you gave her a good saw.
seen that one before, scary.
Cheers. Yes its one of the few (12 I read) eucalypts that grows in europe. I doubt its as dense as oak, I'd guess more like sycamore (btw, when I say syc, its not the same as yours. European syc is actually a maple), about 0.55-0.6 specific gravity when dry. Nothing to wtite home about but it splits easy so I'll probably grab some....but must leave room for the oak!

I'm pretty certain there aren't any eucalypts below 0.6 specific gravity when dry. Alpine and mountain ash (e.delegatensis and e.regnans) are about the least dense and are at 0.62 and 0.66 @ 12% MC respectively. Everything else is denser and most of the eucalypts in higher rainfall areas are between 0.7 and 0.8. White oak (American) is 0.75.
