Yeah, if you're going to use a specific make and model of anything in a story, you should do your research on it to make sure that you don't make any factual errors. People who are familiar with the thing (be it a gun, car, stereo, or whatever) will instantly lose immersion in their WTF moment.

I mean, you say that, but it didn't stop the Da Vinci Code from making Dan Brown a millionaire.

I know that a Springfield XD has no manual safety, but several automatic safeties: a firing pin block, a trigger safety and a grip safety (ie if you aren't holding the grip correctly and pressing on the grip safety, it will not fire). An M1911-type usually has a frame-mounted safety that locks the hammer and the slide. The hammer can be locked in either lowered or cocked position, letting you carry it "locked and cocked" with the safety engaged.

I haven't read your book, but from what I understand of Dill, he doesn't seem like the type to practice proper gun-handling/trigger discipline anyway.

I'm not sure if this link will work for you guys. Can't embed it and I'm not sure if people not on my FB friends list can view it. Let's see. If not, maybe we'll figure something else out.

EDIT: Well wouldja look at that. It automatically embedded. This was a video my girlfriend took when we went bowling with some friends on Friday night. I was dancing up a storm. Me and her even did the Gangham Style dance together. Didn't get it on video, but we'll try to next time.

I would argue that the average Dan Brown reader doesn't know enough about the subject to even know that what he's writing is bullshit.[DOUBLEPOST=1414972249,1414972025][/DOUBLEPOST]

Was at a wedding yesterday, and a friend caught me and my son in a pretty excellent shot.

Deflectors can not repel cuteness of this magnitude, captain!

My son went to a costume birthday party last night, where Dr. Who and Sherlock were the themes. I did not know this, but they were assigned characters, and they held the party at a place with professional video equipment. The point was to make a movie. Anyway, my son was the Doctor, which gave me a chance to try out the new shoot-through umbrella I got for my birthday last week.

My desk has a rough texture to it. Except for this one spot, where about 9 years of mouse movement has rubbed it baby smooth.

When I first came to work here, I was grossed out by the people that did not clean their keyboards and mice. Now I've been in the same position for 7 years... I understand.

I don't miss the first day at a new desk back when they had the ball mouses. Without fail, I'd have to clean the ball and rollers thoroughly before using the computer. I still have to take the keyboard and blow it out upside down over the trash bin. GROSS.

Pbbt. My daily work is on Linux. Most of it in a terminal SSHing to a huge cluster. What's a "mouse"?

He's got you there. The cheap ones have crappy, tiny keyboards that don't "feel" like good ol' fashioned keyboards.

Heck, I'm using the keyboard I had from about three PC's ago.

I want to shave my husband in his sleep, but he likes his Movember beard because it's keeping his face warm.

I shaved the day I went to the convention and met BelleChere. Naturally, of course, that was the weekend it started dipping below freezing.

I loooooove beards. I'm big on respecting people's personal space, but it's hard not to fluff and scratch every nice beard I see. It's nice.

I am completely envious of the ability to grow a beard. Hell, I'm envious of hairy guys in general. I think it's unfair in the gay community that I would be considered hot if just had some chest hair :p
