Blacklist

I've been watching, and enjoying, the NBC show "The Blacklist."

It's a bit formulaic, but lots of fun.

James Spader is a joy in this role.

Not the smallest matter of fun is his chosen pistol is a Browning Hi-Power.


Glad!

The HP is one of my all-time favorite nine millimeters.

If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up!

  1. The plot is garbage, the mystery box storytelling is garbage and the formulaic drama is garbage. I watched like 3 seasons because of James Spader.

    1. Plot? There's a plot?

      I'm taking it as a series of vignettes and calling it good and ignoring the larger conspiracy they are expecting me to buy into.

  2. I've had two.

    First was a Belgium assembled parts made in Portugal that I bought used. Sold it for the cash to buy my first AR. An Olympic Arms CAR-AR which was a somewhat clone of the CAR-15/XM177E2.

    Second was an Argentine High Power manufactured on tooling provided by FN. I forget what I sold it for to get the money to buy, but it was pretty sweet for the over a decade I owned it. Pretty solid until gunk built up under the extractor and had to be cleaned out.

    I've thought about picking up one of the "recreations/version 2" that FN did a few years ago, or one of the other clones, or a used one, but usually there's other stuff I want to get.

    I should probably just get another one and keep it...
