Next time you see an old guy in an American Legion or VFW hat remember one day he was a tough young guy doing his duty to his country and fellow soldiers

Well, I was able to sell a pool cue I had and decided to look over the Wolf package at Academy again after doing some price checking at Buds and buying an equivalent startup kit for a muzzleloader. As I was looking at them, I noticed that one of the 3 wolf packaged sets had $229 on it rather than $239 like the other two. I asked the salesman why the difference. He scanned the price tag and it read 239 and said it's 239 not 229. Another salesman told him to take it down and remove that tag. I though 229 was a really good deal and if I got it at that I'd be set. I told the salesman "I'll buy it right now at 229." He looked at the other salesman and he told him to give it to me. I went to the checkout and it rang up 239. I told the lady the guy in the firearms section said I could have it for the 229 that the tag shows so she changed the price and I walked out with the Wolf package deal for 229 plus tax of course. I'm happy with it and plan on shooting it later today. Oh...and thanks for all the help!

Ok, I'll play.... Smith and Wesson pre-27s SW 27-2 More 27-2s 1965 Colt Python 1963 Colt Python Colt Lawmen in e-nickel Consecutive Serial Numbered SW 27-2s with presentation box, and all other goodies including original shipping boxes

If you find yourself in a position that you need food with that kind of shelf-life you won't be around long enough to eat it.

Call an electrician b4 your house burns down.

I may have just said some bad words under my breath...

I've carried a lot of different BUG's over the years but only two were in the same caliber as my primary service handgun. The concept of ammunition compatibility between the primary and BUG is more of a nice concept then actual practicality from my viewpoint. As to the Charco Pitbull in 9mmP. I believe I'd rather go with a Ruger LCR in 9mmP instead for peace of mind. Ankle carry is best on he inside of your weak side ankle for accessibility from kneeling, sitting and prone positions. It also conceals better and doesn't hang up on things as you step over or around them as much as on the outside of your ankle. IMHO you'd be better served by going with a weak side pocket carry using a Ruger LCP or KelTec P3AT both of which are in .380 ACP.

I'm with Garufa. Look around at most people.....If something that catastrophic happens lack of meds and medical care will kill more Americans than lack of food will. Then disease outbreaks and loss of sanitation will take a whole lot more.

I think most ankle carry is inside the left ankle. I would suggest a G43 or G26 as a backup instead, but if the Charter is what you want, go for it.

The Marathon station at the corner of Nolensville and McMurray generally has it.

The minigun will offically be there. I repeat. It will offically be there

Interesting. I'm in the majority, but not so silent. LOL

Maybe this new silent majority will vote against anti-gun Hillary!

The Wolf is a great rifle. I have the CVA Optima which is similar, and a buddy has the Wolf. It's a great deal, and I wouldn't hesitate to get one. I have shot more deer during muzzleloader season than any other season. It's a great time to be in the TN woods hunting deer.

I see folks paying a LOT for food that has extremely long shelf life. Why? Do you REALLY want to buy this and store it away for half a century? Now don't get me wrong, I have eaten WWII C rations in 1967 in a disaster area, and DARNED glad to get them. But do you WANT to store food for that long? Here is what we do: When we hit a sale on canned goods, we buy extra. In the pantry, we scoot everything forward and store the new ones in the BACK. We constantly USE what is in the front. By buying extra every time you shop, you build up a stock of canned goods. By constantly rotating them, you do NOT NEED those special high-priced decades-long storage items. An additional benefit is you are eating the SAME food every day that you will be eating when the feces encounters the rotating ventilation device. There will be no shock to your system caused by switching from Green Giant canned corn to your MRE's. Pasta, rice, beans - all are stored in air-tight containers and ROTATED so they are constantly being used. The hard part is meat; make sure to stock tuna, chicken, salmon, SPAM, etc., and use it occasionally to keep the stock rotated. Talk to your Morman friends; part of their doctrine is to have a years supply of food on hand, and they can be a valuable resource of advice on how to properly do this.

I love the fact that with my Marlin 1894 in 357 mag I practically can't miss a target at 100 yards with iron sights, standing up, off hand ! It it is my FAVORITE gun to shoot.

man o man y'all watch this!! this is gonna be good!

It will be the people looking for food that will kill you a lot quicker than that.

I like the 239 on 9mm. It is one of my favorites. I like the frame and wide trigger guard. It conceals well too. I am pretty accurate with it. To me the main drawbacks are weight and capacity as a carry option. Overall, I don't think you could go wrong with it.

I have owned two Sig 239's. It's a great gun and a great shooter. The downfall is the low capacity compared to guns similar in size. Know that many holsters that fit a Sig 239 in 9mm will not fit a 40 or 357. The slide is machined differently.

Rifle targets will be no smaller than 4 MOA, and will be "hit/no hit". There will be some pistol targets that will be IDPA type targets, with 1 or 3 seconds added to your shoot time if you don't hit the A-zone.

Sweet! I'm sure you will love it. My muzzleloaders are some of my favorite rifles. The Wolf will be super easy to clean (for a muzzleloader), and should be accurate.

Welcome!

LOL... "Goat Love Call"

I think you're the only one that can answer that question (where to wear it). Which one is easier/quicker for you to reach?

Welcome to TGO.

I'm a fan. I'm also a fan of the underfolder. Like Btq96r said it makes it nice and easy to transport.

IIRC Any fuel that hasn't had the highway fuel tax applied at time of purchase is illegal to use on public roads. I.E. AV gas, agricultural diesel, ect.

IMO, copper is gorgeous when it has a slight patina to it. Not to the point it turns green, but a nice patina. I have a bullet keychain cash stash and part of it is brass and part is copper. The copper looks great after it gets "worn" after a while. Good luck with the build!

Go for it! That's the beauty of the AR form. Do anything you can conceive to one. And yes...I like it.

In cincinnati the sunoco's usually had 100 octane unleaded at the pump. Think it was about $3~ when 93 octane was $2.10-$2.20

For the Korea guys. Old photos from a piss poor photographer (me) on a scanner leave lots to be desired but for those that hit the villes, especially up north, you'll remember The Z Home for a year Big bullets Back when DPICM was new. On the Dragons Head, North of the Imjin, just south of the DMZ (so they could hear us practicing) Easter on the Imjin River Can't remember the name of this outpost. There were two on the east and west sides of the road leading to the UN area. That's looking out over the DMZ and into the north.

Ding.

Agreed, no tacky rollmarks and no FCS. That's gorgeous!

Merry Christmas.. Very cool gesture.

Merry Christmas and Thank you Sent from behind the anvil

Ordered it!!!!!!! Pics to follow when I get it! Yup Long-Slides ROCK!

One problem I see with the term "mass shooting" is the term "shooting". It's used to place the blame on a firearm and not the criminal. The proper term should be mass killing, or something of that nature, especially since the recent mass killing of 19 people and 25 more wounded in Japan that was carried out with knives, and the mass killing by a truck in France that killed 77 and wounded many more. Mass killings will not stop as long as these people exist and a means exists to carry out their warped plans of destruction. We live in a very wicked world and people have been killing others way longer than the existence of firearms. An unarmed society is the dream of every criminal.

Merry Christmas! That's awesome!

Feliz Navidad! And Merry Christmas, too...not sure what to do with all that Benefiber, though...anyway, muchas gracias!

Rubber bands also work. Take the thicker ones like the post office uses and cut it so that you have a piece maybe 2 inches long and fold it over. That will give you a length just big enough to insert into the ejection port and double the thickness of the standard rubber band. That will hold the slide just slightly out of battery so you can work the trigger multiple times on striker fired guns. Also because it is soft and malleable it will not prevent you from holstering so you can do multi shot dry fire work from the holster.

A good test of CCW skills is the 3M Drill. Tom Givens uses this and it is actually a variation on the original "DTI Dance" from John Farnam. You will need.... IDPA target 5 yards away. Electronic timer. 9 live rounds and a dummy round. 1 spare mag. Pistol is loaded with 6 live rounds and 1 dummy round (1 live round in chamber and 5 live and 1 dummy in magazine. Dummy is not the 1st or last round in the mag.) Spare mag on belt (or however you carry it) loaded with 3 live rounds. Shooter starts holstered with hands up in front of chest . At the buzzer you will sidestep, draw and shoot until gun malfunctions. Sidestep as you clear the malfunction (tap/rack) and keep shooting until slide lock. At slide lock sidestep , emergency reload, and fire 3 rounds. The side steps are so you are not standing still in the same spot clearing or reloading while the bad guy is theoretically shooting at you. Scoring is Pass/Fail. Any round outside the -0 zone (8" circle in the chest of IDPA target) = Fail. Failure to move on the draw, on the malfunction clearance or on the reload = Fail. Failure to tap before racking the slide on the malfunction clearance = Fail The "par time" is 15 seconds for students, 12 seconds for instructors. Of course the faster the better, but those are the "official" par times. Instead of pass/fail you can also score it with the Comstock method counting hits in the -0 as 5pts, hits in the -1 as 3pts and hits in the -3 as 0pts. Also subtract a 10pt penalty for any miss . This will generate an actual score vs simply passing or failing. So you would add up your points and then divide by time and then multiply that number x 30 . So a perfect 45 points (9x5=45) shot in 12 seconds (45/12 = 3.75 x 30 ) would give a score of 112.5 . According to Tom Givens a 100 is "very good work" and a 125 or higher is "extremely high skill".

Does a box of Rpk parts count? I'm in the middle of a hopefully unique Rpk build.

My Concern Kalashnikov RWC Group Izhmash Saiga AKM

The 1911 design is just fine, I have several that are great and as near 100% as anything else I have. The real issue with the 1911 these days is that companies like kimber have tried too hard to make them into something that were never intended to be. Match accuracy guns for defense. To me those two are mutually exclusive. If you want to spend $1500+ on a 1911 go ahead but don't expect 100% reliability and match accuracy from a factory gun. The small gain in accuracy costs too much in reliability for a defensive gun. Serial production doesn't allow for the hand work it takes to make one run and be that tight. Plenty of gunsmiths have made a good living doing that for those that will pay the cost... I used to carry a commander and would still be using it daily if 9mm ammo hadn't improved so much. Now I choose a P320 in 9mm same size more capacity and I don't care if it gets a bit uglier from daily carry. I didn't change because of reliability.

Me either. My experience is it shoots well above its price point.
