Don't feel bad... Glock is late on a single-stack 9mm by a decade or so.   :rofl:

With all this fixed blade knife goodness going on here, I ran across what I think is quite a deal. I like the idea of having a modest sized fixed blade I can carry. I'm also somewhat traditional and like wood scales and leather sheaths. Plus I'm cheap. ;) Enter the Boker Magnum Survival.... http://www.boker.de/us/fixed-blade-knife/boker/tactical-knife/02SC310.html $26 to my door. Yep, really. I'm no knife expert, but I fiddled around with it over the weekend. I don't really consider it a true "survival knife", but its a perfectly serviceable camp/utility knife. It was reasonably sharp out of the box, just barely shaving sharp. I assume that'll be the norm since it's a 440 stainless blade as opposed to something like 1095. Probably a better choice for this purpose anyway... less concern for chipping it or corrosion. The notch is listed for cutting cord, rope, etc. I didn't have any rope laying around that I wanted to make shorter so I can't say how well it works for that. I did do a good job shaving little knots off the stick I was whittling on. It's got a little ridge on the spine to act as a thumb stop, but I think it could use a little jimping for a more tactile feel. I may have a go at that myself at some point. The wrong handed sheath is a bit of an expected bummer (I'm left handed), but carrying it on my left side seemed to work fine. For the price, I'm more than satisfied. :)

In the great state of TN it is illegal to give or receive oral sex, shoot any game from a moving automobile except a WHALE, sell a hollow log, and carry a skunk into the state!!! LMBO I thought these were really funny.

I made a knife a couple of weeks ago and had so much fun with the style that I decided to do another one but kick it up a little more! The knife was a "Persian" style grind and I decided to make the new one longer and the handle a bit slimmer to further exaggerate the lines. It is currently at heat treat and should be back in about a week. When I get it back I'll make the scales out of bone colored Micarta and fine tune the front edge area of the blade on the grinder to make it a proverbial razor!! What do you all think? Jim

As of 7/1/2014 there are no restriction on blade length or method of opening assisted and auto (switchblades) are legal to carry in the state of TN.

Passed the senate 30-3. Now we have to support the house version.

She certainly is an enigma at times. I think she is one of the most interesting characters of the group at this point.

Since I'm between projects and temporarily back running the gun, I take offense. Spring and summer are coming and when it gets hot and thick it ain't much of a racket. Everbody thinks every day is 70 degrees and beautiful, open, green pasture. Everyone has to get paid haha

Caps Lock!   Must be serious business...   :D

Get somebody to challenge Harwell in the primary from the hard right...  Don't have to win the seat, just have to wound her bad enough we loose the seat to the democrats...  Start going to her town hall meetings and asking her pointed question wouldn't hurt either.   The pro-2nd amendment community needs to take a scorched earth stance on this situation, if you're not with us on every vote, we might as well replace you with a democrat.  

On a side note while there is some merit to loud pipes getting you noticed, I'm a fan of this quote: "If you think loud pipes save lives, imagine what learning to ride the thing will do." I encourage my fellow motorcyclists to get advanced training when possible from places like the Total Control riding clinic that comes to Nashville every year. Hijack over

Not sure why they can't pay people to do that, when on the low end, they're making $1.5mil from booth space alone.

The one with the cigarette butt in it....

Not much to say but what a cool little pistol. I loved the ease of concealment and the familiar 1911esqe controls. It was reasonably accurate in spite of its small size. I can hit a man size silouhette at 25 yards consistently. 7 yards and closer was almost instinctively easy to blow the chest out of the silouhette. The thing that surprised me the most was the far gentler than expected recoil. Try one, you won't be disappointed.

We will be hosting our monthly Outlaw Steel Match this Saturday the 28th in Dickson.   Usual divisions with a new one--Shotgun-Pistol. You will start with Shotgun and go to pistol. So no loading the shotgun on the clock. Good way to get the scatter gun out without all the shell caddies and such.   Stages out shortly.  

Not really im married and know one told me about the wedding cake lol

   Or you could work for Johnson and Johnson.  see below.

I love hearing the lack of enthusiasm for the 43...means I have a better shot at getting one.....or two.   :up:  :up:  :up:  :up:

As an owner of a wide array of handguns, including the Hi-Point 9mm, it serves a great purpose for everyone's collection. Would never consider it as my primary home defense or EDC weapon, but is definitely what I take camping, fishing, keep in the toolbox, etc.   It is different, ugly, and heavy for its size but that's what makes it fun and to help develop versatility in your shooting. It's always a joy to shoot the nice, pretty, and expensive guns that also take expensive, pretty, nice ammo. A Hi-Point on the other hand will take any cheap crap you can find while still putting it down range-on target.   What's really fun to do at ranges is to have your Kimbers, S&Ws, Berettas, and such going, everyone is 'oohing & aahing', reach in the bag to pull out your Hi-Point with full white glove treatment. It's like some of their brains explode from confusion.   Welcome to the club, be proud your not a gun snob. The other remarkable thing about Hi-Point... rarely questions asked, life-time warranty that follows the firearm, regardless of original owner or if you're the 100th owner. Can't say that about everything else in my collection.

I figure it boils down to "Why pay when you can find eager volunteers?"

Well, if you spend more on some other lower, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you paid more than you needed to.  That makes some people feel good.  

  Yeah, I am not sure why I need one over an LC9s...the LC9 had a HORRIBLE trigger, but the LC9s is wonderful, and I think it is smaller than the new glock, certainly it is less expensive.  

I plan to buy two. One for my carry purposes and one for my 21 yr. old daughter who has her carry permit now. Now the wait begins.

I SBR'd an AR-15 PSA lower last year.  No issues, no regrets, more money for accessories and ammo.

  I've never had occasion to shoot a .300blk laid alongside cheek like this, but from my limited experience shooting various loads against shoulder, I get the impression that the hottest AAC loads might be about 20% more kick tops than NATO spec 5.56, but nothing that would be so drastic as to make it impractical.   Hopefully those with more experience with the round will chime in on that comparison.   - OS

That's not all, apparently... lol

  NFA considerations aside, a handgun has certain legal advantages over a long gun in any number of states -- that's a significant contributory reason for their popularity. Until last summer there were two big ones in TN, now just one.   - OS

  Outside of the joke, you can always turn off SSID broadcasting. That way people have to know the name of the router before they can connect. Or do MAC address filtering, that way only specific devices are allowed on.   I did the same thing though. my guest wireless is "Virus Infected Wifi".   ***edit*** My personal favorite name is about 4 blocks away and it's "I LOVE BOOBS!"

30SF.   The 26/27 just don't do anything right, in my opinion.  The slide is too fat to be a pocket gun, but the grip is too short to be a primary gun.   The 30SF is longer in the grip to make it feel a bit more like a 19/23 and ... well... it's a 45ACP.  That's God's Chosen Caliber.

The more time F-troop spends without a director, and in disarray the better...  Less harm they can do...  Let this position sit open for another 5 years, makes no difference to me.

I'm sending a live one. That way he can pluck and regrow. Renewable resource. :p

Though I have never tried it, one for the record books here would be what an old fella told me about. A shop I used to work in had an old guy they called sarge. He was an old school hobo who lived in a halfway house. He rode the trains a lot. Like I said, old school hobo. He once told me how they used to filter Aqua Velva through a loaf of stale bread. Now THATS gotta be nasty!

I'm like 173ABN, mostly 9mm/45ACP/5.56mm/7.62mm.   However....,   During each of the recent BHO Panics I had no problems finding and buying all the .38 Super & 10mm that I wanted at pre-panic prices.   So having a couple of cult-calibers can be a good fallback during those times of politically driven social activism.

JW; I think Jak would like you to kill one "first".......just saying!   Dave

Pm sent It's all tapatalks fault

Indeed. Yes, I own this t-shirt. ;)

  So do I.  Hell, I took my GSG-522 to the range today just to have some fun in between serious pistol shooting.  But while multiple calibers is half the fun, I'd like it to not be half my wallet.     I'm in the same boat.  I really think I can "do more with less" if I go to 9mm.  Meaning I can get more rounds for practice, and negate the loss in size.  Plus, 9mm is a much more universal round, and has a lot more options for future purchases.

  That's a great idea! Save the money you would spend on a dumpster and get one of these: http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/86733-commercially-available-handheld-flamethrower/

O yeah, and then there's Bud Light.

Well, though I agree with Rick's POV over the long run, he's really totally turned me off for the first time. Worse than just being crazy like back when he was seeing his dead wife and whatnot, now he's a crazy dick. Personal involvement with wife beating thing, threatening your town folks with a heater while screaming at them, the whole thing is just absurd if your goal is to really change things. Just acts of a stupid violent man.   Guess Michonne felt same way. :)   I suppose the writers will find a way to vindicate him, but he's officially on the outs with me. ;)   - OS

Good lord, some of the stuff you guys have mixed together just sounds like death. 

An update to this to close it out.  She came down this weekend, and we got hot on this.  Saturday was spent driving around the Murfreesoro area to find a gun, visiting a few guns and pawn shops.  After checking prices at a few places,  I asked her if she wanted to save money by getting it via PSA, but she wanted to get a gun that day, and throw in some range time, which we did today.    We ended up buying from Outpost Armory.  They were very cool, letting her work the action and dry fire any model in the store.  As to the individual models, she tried out at least a half dozen, and she hated the action on every brand, except Glock.  And yeah, I didn't know how smooth the action is by comparison, a big deal for a woman without manly hand strength.  The high cost of going to the indoor range here in Murfreesboro made her say just buy it now.  Since it's a Glock 19, and has a great reputation, I was comfortable enough that she would like it, and gave her my blessing to purchase.   I was very proud that she insisted that she also get a pack of snap caps with her new gun.  She spent an entire hour straight on Saturday night on loading, unloading, clearing, and dry fire with them.  She only stopped because her hands were getting sore, and she wanted to make sure that she didn't screw them up for the range today.  Her shooting needs work, but she is determined to get there.

It's too soon for April fools jokes....

Goldschlager!!!  About 20 years ago I got drunk on it and threw up in the sink. Needless to say the sink clogged and I scooped it out with my hand!  I can't drink drink anything cinnamon anymore.   :puke:

Fresca mixed with Beefeater. Hot damn, what was I thinking. It's nice not to be young and dumb anymore.

I don't anticipate selling my Shield anytime soon.

Who will build the first flamethrower range??? Complete w a pig on a spit and dummies dressed in Isis garb? Or! Will the atf kill this thing after crayon eaters attempt to get personal letters authorizing them to shoulder this while warming up local mosques.? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

God Bless America.  :usa:

I don't post much in this thread but I will say this....you know you are really hooked on a show when you spend 45 minutes reading posts from people you don't know on a message board about the show AND genuinely interested in the comments.
