Behind an outstanding defensive effort, the Jamesville-DeWitt Red Rams defeated the West Genesee Wildcats 5-3 on Saturday afternoon in Camillus in a meeting between two of Section 3's top teams. This is the second consecutive season in which J-D has upended the Wildcats.
Prior to last spring, the Rams hadn't enjoyed in a win in the series since 1978.
The win is J-D's 28th in a row, putting the Rams – a Class B squad – at 8-0 on the season (6-0 in division play). It was the first loss of the season for West Genny, which plays in Class A and now stands at 6-0 in the division and 8-1 overall.
Leading up to this contest, the Wildcat attack unit of seniors Dylan Donahue (Air Force), Corey Herrington and Cody Hoose was combing for more than 17 points a game. Donahue's goal in the first quarter was the only point production the Cats would get all afternoon from the talented trio.
A rarity in Section 3 lacrosse, the Wildcats were held off the scoreboard for a stretch of more than 24 minutes spanning 3 quarters.
"I think our defense is as athletic as they come," J-D head coach Jamie Archer said. "They showed it against Fairport. Fairport was a very athletic team. And guys can't get buy them. You can't get by the first guy, and then we don't have to slide as much. And when we don't have to slide as much, our defense is in good shape."
That was the case Saturday, as Donahue, the Wildcats leading scorer averaging 7 a game before Saturday, was held in check for most of the day. He was marked by sophomore defender Scott Firman, who was a key member of last year's defense on the state championship run. Firman played solid position defense all day, showing great footwork to stay with the shifty Donahue and checking his hands aggressively.
"He's a great player," Firman said of Donahue after the game. "I stayed a little closer to him, as (assistant) coach (Bob) Helmer said, and made sure he couldn't get shots off, because he's a great off-ball player."
Matching Firman, who is emerging as one of Section 3's best defenders, against Donahue – the team's leading scorer with 40 goals and 17 assists – was an important part of the defense's success.
"We're glad to have him," Archer said of Firman, whose older brother Nick is a senior close defender on the Rams backline along with classmate Davi Sacco. "We thought it was a good matchup for him to cover Dylan. Dylan likes to go up to his left, and I think Scotty matches up real well going up that side. When we've got matchups that we don't have to slide behind, we're in good shape."
The Rams opened up the scoring just 1:46 into the game, as senior face-off savant Tim Edwards (Canisius) drove to the cage and scored to give the Rams an early lead it would never relinquish.
Sophomore attackman Jordan Evans, who paced the Red Rams offense, netted his 2 goals just 33 seconds apart.
With 5:57 left in the first quarter, he took advantage of a short-stick matchup, exploding from X, rolling inside and fighting through a couple of checks to score on an overhand shot from a few yards out.
Edwards won the ensuing face-off and on the next series, Evans dodged from X again, this time with authority, faking a behind-the-back pass, blowing by his defender and bouncing in a lefty shot from right on the doorstep to give the Rams the 3-0 lead at 5:24.
Donahue broke the seal for West Genny at 3:57, driving from X, backing into a double team and then somehow popping a shot through a mess of bodies and sticks to beat senior goalie Dan DiStefano, who gave up nothing easy on the day.
After Donahue's goal, the scoring drought would begin for the Wildcats, who made things more difficult for themselves with a great deal of turnovers throughout the game.
"Too many mistakes and just sloppy," West Genesee head coach Mike Messere said. "You can't give a team like that the ball back so much."
When the Cats did break through for scoring opportunities, DiStefano was there to thwart them. He posted 6 of his 8 big saves in the first half.
"Dan looks forward to these games," Archer said. "Any time there's a big game, he steps up. It's good to have him back there."
With about 5:40 left in the second quarter, Scott Firman caused a turnover in the Rams' zone, quickly got up field, splitting a couple of oncoming West Genny players, and moved it ahead to standout senior SSDM Steve Aziz for the fast break. Aziz made a great look across the crease to a camped out McLaren Brady, and the junior attackman threw a couple of fakes and finished high to give J-D the 4-1 lead.
In the third quarter, both defenses limited the opposing team's chances, until Genny senior middie Matt Schattner got open about 15 yards out, took a feed from Connor Khammar and ripped a beautiful low-to-high lefty laser over DiStefano's helmet.
The Wildcats defense, led by senior Pat Brown (Cortland), was also stingy, keeping the Red Rams offense far below its season 13.5 goals-per-game average leading up to Saturday. After Brady's goal in the second quarter, the Rams would not score again until the fourth quarter.
"Defensively, we played just the way we needed to play," Messere said.
To open the final frame, J-D took the initial face-off and got the ball to senior Alex Hatem (Syracuse), who sprinted down the right lane and fired a shot off-hip on Birchler to put the Rams back up by three, 5-2, at 11:33.
West Genesee senior goalie Tim Birchler made 8 saves on the day, including 3 in the fourth quarter to keep the game within reach for the Wildcats.
But as the Wildcats piled up more turnovers down the stretch, the Rams defense continued to play strong and keep the Wildcats at bay, never again letting West Genesee score in a set offense.
With about 2:30 to go, a scrum along the sideline resulted in groundball that rolled deep into the Rams box, where Wildcat defender Brown was already in stride to scoop it up and make his way to the cage for a one-on-one chance, finishing with a big overhand shot to bring West Genny within two.
It was as close as they would get, however, as the Rams would kill off a Wildcat EMO chance and stood tall against West Genny's late charge.
Leading up to this game, Messere said he had concerns about how well his starting attack, which is comprised of small, quick players, would match up with the big, athletic J-D defense. He said that across the field, the Rams appeared to be bigger, faster, stronger and more athletic overall.
"We've got to get tougher," Messere said. "Fear will paralyze you. We were paralyzed all over the field – couldn't pass, couldn't catch, and we made very poor decisions, uncharacteristically, too, because we haven't done that all year. I guess that happens. Hopefully, we did it all at once. But again, (Jamesville-DeWitt) being a good team, you start doing that stuff, it really shows up."
For the Rams, this game serves to build momentum as the team strives to be playing its best lacrosse by the playoffs.
"Confidence is key going into the post season and having a win like this under our belt is unbelievable," Scott Firman said. "But we've got to put it behind us. The past is the past. We have to play each team. We can't look ahead of anyone and we've got to continue to play hard."
Recruiting Watch:
The University of Vermont has a promising recruit on the way in DiStefano, who showed the ability to come out of the cage to create turnovers, push the ball in transition and get involved in the groundball battle. The reigning first-team All-CNY netminder was essential in stifling the West Genesee offense with his shot-stopping ability, showing some quick reflexes to dip low on several occasions, and serving as an emotional spark.
"This year we definitely pride ourselves on defense because we lost so many guys on offense (from 2010)," DiStefano said. "We have a great coach and he really helps us out, but I knew as a goalie I come in big and do my share of the work."
Brimming with confidence and a leader on the defense, DiStefano said the Rams are improving as the work through the schedule, especially now with a victory over the much respected Wildcats.
"We feel like we're the team to beat right now (in CNY)," DiStefano said.
Another key player starting to emerge for the Rams is Aziz. His play at SSDM, alongside the always dependable services of senior LSM Matt Kopp (Binghamton), was instrumental in holding the West Genesee midfielders to only one goal on the day.
Aziz did a great deal of the grunt work on the Red Rams 2010 New York State Class B championship team, but this year has been given the green light to create in transition and on offense along the likes of the speedster Hatem and the dynamic Edwards.
"Last year, Aziz was our best short-stick D-middie," Archer said. "But he's improved his offense skills, so he's been playing a lot of offense this year. But in big games we ask him to play a little more D middie for us because he matches up real well against other middies."
What's Next?
On Tuesday, Jamesville-DeWitt takes on Homer, a team with an impressive 8-1 record overall, including a 6-1 record in OHSL Class B division play.
"That's a perfect trap game for us," Archer said of the Rams' next game. "These guys could be riding high, and Homer is the best team in our league that we've got to worry about. So we've got to come play Tuesday and be ready for them."
For West Genesee, next up is the Corcoran Cougars, who fell to the Wildcats 17-2 on April 1, but have not lost a game since. The Cougars (8-1, 6-0) sit atop of the CNYCL American division, and have put up more than 16 goals a game.

How long will the bees work on capping the combs if you fill them with syrup? (Until what outdoor temps?)
How much weight will 1 comb of syrup equal when it is capped? Is it same weight as honey when cured?
You are speaking of 10 frame deep bodies? 1 foundation frame - 1 capped honey - 1 pollen - 4 empty frames to be filled - 1 pollen - 1 capped honey - 1 foundationThis is not understood by me. That does not leave very much food for the bees.
After cleansing flight it is hurry to chek, what is food situation in each hives and then you even frames. Take from rich and give to poor like Robibn Hood.

SHREVEPORT, La. — Just before dawn Thursday, 158 boats began the first of three days on the water as the Bassmaster Central Open took to the Red River.
When the final weigh-in was over Thursday afternoon, Brian Clark of Haltom, Texas, and his co-angler Matt Michel from Gonzales, La., led their respective divisions.
Brian was able to catch his limit of five fish, with a total combined weight of 17 pounds, 5 ounces. Michel took the lead among co-anglers, having also caught a limit with 12-7.
"I had a good day and I think I'll probably have the same tomorrow," said Clark, who leads the Bassmaster Open standings.
Clark scored an upset victory at the last Open, held in March on Lake Texoma in Texas. He said that gave him a great deal of practice time before this week's Open, which helped his Day One success.
"Anytime you're able to practice a lot, put a lot of time in and prepare, it gives you an opportunity to capitalize," Clark said. "That's when guys will say a guy gets lucky."
The strong current and the muddy waters of the Red River, combined with a temperature near 90 degrees before noon and high humidity with scattered thunderstorms, provided the 316 competing anglers with challenging conditions.
Danny Smith was one of those who was able to overcome the harsh conditions; he finished the day in second place with 15-11. Smith said he caught all his fish in shallow water.
"I caught mine in about a foot-and-a-half to 6 feet," Smith said. "The bite was slow, but I caught seven keepers. They're just scattered."
Most of the competitors echoed that theme: Catching fish early before the heat built up was the way to go.
"I had my limit in the boat by around 10 o'clock," said Aaron Martin, who is in fifth place. " I was able to cull by around 10:30. All in all it was a great day."
Clark agreed. He used some of his fishing time to look ahead to tomorrow.
"About 1:30 or 2, I knew I wasn't really going to be able to upgrade from what I had," Clark said. "So I went and checked some new water. But I wanted some of the better stuff left alone. I was really hoping to get about 13 or 14 pounds today, but I think that if you can get around 12 or 13 pounds per day you're really going to have a chance, and I'm ahead of that."
In the Pro Anglers division, Marvin Ettredge from Shreveport is in third, Ryan Brown from LaPlace, La., is fourth and Martin, from Kimberling, Mo., rounds out the top five.
Ryan Evans, of Grapevine, Texas, is second in the co-angler division.
The Bassmaster Central Open will continue Friday, with the top 30 finishers advancing to Saturday's final round.

While there is certainly a shortage of things to celebrate these days, should you encounter one — a wedding or a baby, perhaps — consider grabbing a bottle of Cattier for the event.
Cattier is a new label for the U.S. A big brand overseas (it's sold in 65 countries), it is only just now making its way to our shores. Available in five varieties, we snagged a bottle of Brut Antique, which is 45% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier, and 25% Chardonnay. It is aged for up to three years.
This golden-colored, non-vintage Champagne is distinctly citrus tasting — specifically grapefruit. Despite the age on the blend, there's no sense of nuttiness in this sparkler, it's fruit through and through, starting off dry and opening up with just a touch of sweetness the more you drink it. Very light and easygoing, this is an excellent wine to serve on its own or with food.

And now for something completely insipid…
As the media and their alarmists like soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore have shamefully convinced enough of the population that man can actually impact the climate, law firms around the nation are gearing up to sue possible offenders.
I kid you not.
As reported in Monday's Dallas Morning News (h/t NBer alamojb, emphasis added throughout):
Top Dallas firm Thompson & Knight started a dedicated climate-change practice June 4 with 26 lawyers. Today, Dallas' Vinson & Elkins will unveil its 41-lawyer group, headed by a former senior counsel for the World Bank.
The law firms – and a dozen others nationwide – are getting ready for a predicted explosion of climate-related work tied to government regulation, lawsuits against energy companies and new markets that will trade the rights to emit carbon.
Isn't that special? The money continues to be made off of this scam, and American media are right at the heart of it, pushing every specious claim by folks that have never taken one course on the subject, while ignoring the ongoing litany of skeptical reports and studies from around the world.
Now, the lawyers have figured out a way to capitalize on the hysteria being flamed by a press that are supposed to expose scams being perpetrated against the population rather than participate in them:
One potential opportunity is the $30 billion global market for rights to put carbon into the air; if the U.S. comes on board, the market could grow by $100 billion, and the credits are likely to become investments that draw Wall Street attention.
Vinson & Elkins' Christopher Carr, who helped the World Bank oversee its carbon finance unit, predicts a nationwide "cap" on carbon emissions in just a few years.
"It's not a question of if; it's when, and most importantly, how it will be set up," Mr. Carr said.
By their geography, the Dallas firms have a number of energy companies as clients. But they also expect to represent plaintiffs who've been harmed by global warming and pollution.
Fabulous. Can't you envision people all around the country suing businesses, and even neighbors, for impacting their local microclimates and possibly harming their health, their lawns, and the peeling paint on their homes?
The litigious possibilities are almost endless, aren't they? And, it's already started:
Steve Susman of Susman Godfrey in Houston has been a pioneer in such litigation. He led the charge this year to force TXU Energy into building fewer coal-fired plants in Texas than it had planned.
Now he's among several lawyers talking with a group of Inuits in northern Canada who have seen an entire island sink under rising seas from global warming. The tribe is weighing its options, including suing carbon-emitting corporations such as power companies for heating the planet, he said.
"Melting glaciers isn't going to get that much going, but wait until the first big ski area closes because it has no snow," said Mr. Susman, who teaches a climate-change litigation course at the University of Houston Law School. "Or wait until portions of lower Manhattan and San Francisco are under water."
Some lawyers are trying to tie the damage from Hurricane Katrina to global warming – and the energy companies who may have contributed to that warming.
Mr. Susman predicts large insurance companies, which have paid out billions of dollars in claims in the past two decades because of powerful hurricanes, eventually will become plaintiffs in broad greenhouse-effect litigation against energy companies.
Isn't that great? So, along with the likely increased cost of energy, food, virtually all products, and higher taxes if the alarmists get their way, we might also see higher insurance premiums as these companies share the risks and costs of global warming litigation with their customers.
And yet, there are still people who don't believe this is all a scam.
Imagine that.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Playing in their first Eastern Conference Finals since 1992, the Bruins seemed a bit overwhelmed in Game 1 on Saturday night. Or, perhaps they were a bit rusty (they hadn't played in more than a week). Whatever it was, it wasn't good and needs to change if the Bruins have any shot of advancing to the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1990.
Behind a flurry of three goals within 85 seconds in the first period, the Lightning took down the Bruins 5-2 to lead the best-of-seven series 1-0. The Bruins, meanwhile went 0-4 on the power play and are now 2-41 in that situation through the first three series of the playoffs.
For the first time during the playoffs, Bruins goalie Tim Thomas can actually take some of the blame for the team's collapse in the first period.
"I thought we gave them some easy goals and that was more of our doing than it was theirs," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. You can say that again, Claude.
The first goal wasn't Thomas's fault, though. Thomas made a save, and Dennis Seidenberg attempted to kick the puck out of danger's way after losing his stick, but instead the puck rolled right in front of Sean Bergenheim, who banged home his eighth goal of the playoffs.
Just 19 seconds later, Brett Clark gathered the loose puck, skated by two Bruins, and fired a shot by the right side of Thomas for the goal and a 2-0 lead.
The Lightning made it 3-0 just a minute later. Tomas Kaberle was controlling the puck behind Thomas when it got loose right near the front of the net. Teddy Purcell charged and fired a shot that was saved by Thomas, but he knocked home the rebound for his second goal of the playoffs.
Patrice Bergeron sat out with a minor concussion, but his replacement, Tyler Seguin, got the Bruins back in the game a few minutes later. He put a nice move on two defenders and beat Dwayne Roloson for his first career playoff goal (15:59, 1st) in his first career playoff game.
They could have used Bergeron's skills on the face-off, though. The Lightning won 61% of the face-offs, taking 41 of them to the Bruins' 29.
After a scoreless second period, the Lightning tacked on an insurance goal midway through the third when Marc-Andre Bergeron scored on the power play. He fired a shot from 30 feet away that beat Thomas top-shelf. Thomas was shielded on the play.
Bruins killer Simon Gagne added an empty-netter with less than three minutes to go to make it 5-1.
Johnny Boychuk scored a minute later to help the Bruins save face a bit, finally beating Roloson again for his third goal of the playoffs.
If anyone has actually been better than Thomas this postseason, it's Roloson. The Tampa goaltender finished with 31 saves against the Bruins in Game 1 despite playing with a heavy heart. Roloson played with Rangers enforcer Derek Boogaard (who was found dead in his apartment on Friday) for a year in Minnesota.
The Bruins will look to even the series in Game 2 on Tuesday night. There's no word on whether Patrice Bergeron will be able to play, but it doesn't look likely. If that's the case, Tyler Seguin would remain in the lineup.

Named after the stickers which are often found on Indian trucks, Horn Please is a contemporary Indian street food restaurant on Elderslie Street. It occupies a surprisingly light and bright basement space which is filled with Indian curios. Rattan furniture, Indian newspaper used as wall paper, a Thumbs Up cola mural and a vintage water pump all add to an enjoyably quirky atmosphere.
Horn Please delivers an intriguing menu which mixes traditional Indian street food with contemporary tapas to create its own culinary fusion. For diners who want to get off the most well worn Anglo-Indian culinary highways, Horn Please offers several colourful diversions.
Dishes like the mini dosas stuffed with bottle gourd and yellow lentil curry would not seem out of place in an Indian truck stop. More adventurous combos – like the spice-seared haggis with fennel and mango chutney salad – would be more likely to raise eyebrows.
Alongside the meat and seafood sections, there are plenty of exciting veggie options. Dishes like the gram flour yoghurt curry with fried rice and crunchy masala okra or the mushroom and onion roll with braised spinach purée ensure that Horn Please will always be a culinary adventure.
Horn Please is on Elderslie Street. There is limited on-street parking and the nearest train station is Charing Cross. The SSE Hydro and SECC are fifteen minute walk while the King's Theatre is about five minutes away.

Methodist Bishop Rev. Dr. John G. Innis
UMC Embarks On US$25K School Project in Bopolu
By Emmanuel Mondaye, LINA Gbarpolu County Correspondent
BOPOLU CITY, April 13 (LINA) - The First United Methodist Church in Bopolu City, Gbarpolu County, has embarked on the construction of an elementary school estimated at US$25.000.
When completed, the building will contain classrooms, offices, library and sanitary facilities and other compartments for the use of students and instructional staff of the institution.
This was disclosed recently to the Liberia News Agency (LINA) by Methodist Bishop Rev. Dr. John G. Innis in Bopolu City.
Bishop Innis said the school project is a gift from two American missionaries, John and Laurie Broglio of Virginia, the United States of America, to the Methodist Church of Bopolu City.
The Methodist Prelate said he expects over five hundred students within Bopolu City and its environs to attend the institution upon completion.
According to Bishop Innis, the Church is also contemplating constructing a modern clinic in the area to help reduce the large influx of patients at the county's only referral hospital, the Jallah Lone Medical Center.
The Methodist Bishop did not disclose the cost of the planned clinic, but said he is optimistic that the project would begin in the not too distant future.

Hey just notified my latest trade has shipped and I should be getting it any day, probably by this Saturday. I swapped a problematic Sig P245 for a brand new Taurus 4510 PUBLIC DEFENDER with the 2.5 inch cylinder. Yup: Don't nobody BUDGE: Here Come da JUDGE!
So, I need a good holster. Our voluminous mega-holster list is too huge. So I need some direction. I think maybe something along the lines of a yaqui slide for OWB and I'll need an IWB as well. I don't think CROSSBREED is there yet, either. Any ideas? Yes, I'll post a complete range report as soon as I get a good selection of shot shells in hand. I want to see which dram weight works best at different likely ranges. I fired a Judge recently, with the 000 Buck load on a full size frame and the recoil was brutal, even with the ribber grips. Easily worse than a 44 magnum, but not as bad as my 460. But that comparison is relative, since the 460 has such a HUGE frame to absorb some of the recoil shock.

invading grass
I have grass from my lawn invading my flower beds.
I allready have a three foot solid wood fence seperating them and the beds are eighteen inches lower than the grass.
I figured on some kinda border between the grass and the fence like pavers or concrete maybe redwood bark or chips but can I do some extra step to ensure that the grass stays OUT:confused:
any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
There are basically three things you could do here. One: use at least an inch of mulch or stones on the beds to prevent light from getting to the grass shoots. Two: plant the beds full of flowers or plants. The idea there is similar to item one, in that the plants grow taller than the grass and the shade they cast will block enough light to keep the grass from growing even if they do get through. Three: keep cultivating your beds every week! :)
I prefer item one as it tends to be the closest to "No Maintenance".
A mechanical barrier works well. You can use plastic, aluminum, or steel edging. However, the barrier must be deeper than the runners your grass sends out, or it will continue to invade the flower beds.
This link might help, too: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?actio...de/Edging.html
I am trying to seperate the grass from the beds without to much work I even sprayed herbicide as a border along the fence but I still had grass shoots come up in beds.
You would need to dig down about 4 - 6 inches. This would be to create a stable base for the paving stones or whatever you decide to use. If you go with a gravel type of walkway then I would think youll continue to have the same problem --- between the grass and gravel instead.
Now if youre talking about a herb or vegetable garden --- where youre cultivating every year, then an excellent mulch to use are the grass clippings from your lawn! They decay in time to cultivate and if not they easily work back into the soil for nutrients. Works like a charm!

Educating yourself on Narcissism or divorcing a narcissist is the single most important thing that you can do. Knowledge is power and you need to stay two steps ahead at all times. Predicting the patterns and attacks should be your first line of defense. By predicting what is coming next, you are able to remove the "shock value" from the narcissistic attack.

Can moon clips be used only on certain models of the Championship Series Revolvers and Performance Center Revolvers?
Help me here, Wes Dakota. I've been given some bad information I guess. Can they be used on any gun. I thought the moon clips required a larger spacing between cylinder and body and only specially machined guns could use moon clips. I've never used the clips, really never even seen them used in person, only on video - But - they sure look better than speed loaders to me.
I've got moon clips on a 627 V8 and a 610. The 627 can shoot normally without them, the 610 requires them both to fire and to eject.
The 627 has a special cut on the cylinder to allow use of the regular rimmed case or with the moon clip. The rimless .40 caliber requires moon clip to function at all.
A 625 acp uses moon clips. From what I've seen, those with longer firing pins might detonate the primer, but without the moon clip assembly, you may need a rod to push out the fired shells.
I like 'em.
Thanks for your reply m657.
I done some homework on this and found a company (i'm sure there is more than one) that will drill cylinder a little larger and deeper, provide an ejector tool for spent cartridges (i was surprised that you need to do that - i've only seen video's of shooters using moon's and they just turn the gun over to eject, do you no longer have ejector rod?), 10 stainless clips and something else but it slips my mind right now. Cost $230. They had a list of guns eligible for this. Subtract their cost from a S&W ready to go and makes the cost a LITTLE more reasonable.
They also had brands of ammunition not compatible w/moon's. They talked a lot about casing thickness for self loading. At this point i'm not interested in competitive shooting, but who knows, i am starting to think about it. I've got a lot to learn so anything you can add would be appreciated.
My 627 V max has standard factory PC set up including ejector rod.
It's an inspired design IMHO. I use it both ways, with & without the moon clip with no problem. Have not yet found excuse...er....'reason' to buy 8-shot speed loaders.
I love their system & would like to put it on every revolver I have. Of course, rimless calibers all require the moon clip regardless.
Originally Posted by m657
FWIW, my M625 will only fire about 50/50 without the moon clips. It seems as if the cases are on the short side these days, as very few of need to be trimed & most are on the short side even when brand new. Must be a cost saving thing, eh?
I guess I'm really in a learning curve beyond my experience. I need to learn about a 625 acp moon clip equipped and not sure where to go, I do want to be able to shoot both. Can anybody point me a direction to learn?
Tip of the hat. My 625-2 will dine on ACP's with or without moons or 45AR's. If you want to see how effective the are; Jerry Michlek has a couple of videos. He fires 6RDS., reloads and fires 6 more in less than 4 sec. They are extremely fast to reload. Keep askin' questions. The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.
