Welcome. APS (Armed Polite Society) is a spin-off of another gun forum called The High Road. They set up this separate forum for casual banter that is not allowed on THR. So, yes, we are gun people but this forum is for all that non-gun talk.

Okay. I didn't know if was also a refuge from some of the "agressive" arguing that can occurr over there on the subject of guns.
This is good. My attempt at posting the picture didn't work too well anyway. There must be a secret code that I don't understand.

That one sexy looking red X, let me tell you!!!
Oh, and we're not agressive. Rabid and immature, maybe, but not agressive.
Except for that "Fistful" guy. I'd watch him like a hawk.

OK, it looks like something to do with the way Google sets up its web page. From your original post, the URL as seen by my brower is
"http://picasaweb.google.com/RJMcElwain/Firearms/photo?authkey=gU-Nvpd55uY#5005612526337889714"
While the url that works is:
"http://lh3.google.com/image/RJMcElwain/RXeCEmOdlbI/AAAAAAAAAuQ/yfEeRusYgSQ/100_2674.jpg&imgmax=640"
Which I got by directly copying the URL of the image from here:
"http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/viewPhoto?uname=RJMcElwain&aid=5005599890544102865&iid=5005612526337889714"
Why it works that way? I have no idea. I'm a Microbiologist damnit! Not a web programmer.

Still a red X for me.
I've got a real picture this time.
I think it's witchcraft.

No, thats natural energies, lay lines and reverence to the Gods. This is the relm of the electron, the laser and the equation. AKA: The purview of the TechnoMage.

Still nothing for me either, not even a red X (I'm so deprived of joy...*SNIFF*)

Sindawe,
You're the one who told me how to do it right. You aren't messing with my mind now are you?
Because there's very little to mess with. Does anyone see the oversized picture further up in the thread? The second one is of the right size and I can see it. I'm sticking with witches.

{3in groups at 25ft, standing, no rest, metal sights, 9mm} is nothing to boast about photographically.
Three inch groups at 25 feet is fairly good. It wouldn't win a bullseye match, but it's gobs better than average cops and street thugs can manage with their 9mms. It's certainly good enough to win a gunfight provided you can do it quickly and under pressure.

Nope.

Oops!! Yesterday, I could see my pictures. Today neither of them show up.
Anyway, that ugly thing is a SIG P232, .380 cal. Cute little thing isn't it? Fits real easily in a front pocket.

Did the original poster maybe mean 25 yards instead of 25 feet? 3" at 25 yards would indeed be good (hell it'd be great). 25' is just barely over 8 yards and 3" at that range is relatively easy with any half way decent handgun from a standing position and slow firing. Gets somewhat harder (for me at least) if one is firing at a rate greater than 1 shot/second.

Nope, I did mean 25 feet. My 9mm guns are Ruger KP89 and Taurus PT92AFS, both with factory metal sights and no "adjustments" other than rubber grips.

Yer telling me SIG makes a .380 with two scopes, a baseplate made out of milled aluminium and has a barrel at least two feet long? I gather it's not one's first choice for concealed carry
