Simply declare that 9mm is superior to .45 and they will all congregate.

Well here they are....my versions of a Karambit. First off is a matched pair or 1/4" thick 1095 carbon steel. The have African Blackwood scales and SS pins. It's about 9 1/4" long with a 4 1/4" blade. It has a pattern etched into the blade but my picture taking apparently sticks cause it's a bit hard to see it. It has thumb and heel jimping and is a stout and dangerous blade. You can see some of the rock pattern ground into the spine as well. They come with black kydex sheaths. Note....there are some lines on a couple of pictures that are not on the blades. Next is a lighter pair made from 3/16" thick 1095 carbon steel with a different handle shape and Bubinga scales and mosaic pins. The over all grip is less that the previous set but still very good. It also has a pattern etched into the blade and slightly less rock pattern grinding on the spine. It does have thumb jimping on the spine as well. It is also 9 1/4" long but the blade is a bit longer at 4 3/4". It also comes with black kydex sheaths.

Because we really know that .38 Super is the best........

My custom 10mm

If anyone in the Knoxville area wants to see a display of 1911's that's sure to make you drop to your knees and shout "Praise be!" go over to SIA (Security Investment Appraisals) on Middlebrook Pike. One of the owners has dedicated an entire room of that very nice shop to his personal collection of milsurp goodies including probably 40 or so old 1911's. I didn't count them all but it is a lot! All in excellent condition. It's really a beautiful sight.

OK, I'll play . . . . here are a couple that followed me home . . . . .

I have succumbed to the siren call of quiet PCP air gunning. I am trading my 200yrd .22lr Cracker Gun (10/22) for Plinker4life's AA S200. Why? Quiet, effective varmint control in suburbia, accurate as heck, made by CZ (I actually can't remember how many CZ .22s I have owned), light weight so can carry on a legit squirrel hunt, has custom moderator (very very very quiet), target trigger that allows me to one-hole this thing at 30 yrds off a bag, can shoot it in my backyard all day long, multi shot, .177 has less collateral damage potential, easy to pump up with hand pump.

Ken, as I briefly read thru this thread it came across loud and clear that you have a lot of disdain for the LEO community, I don't know why, and don't really care, but that is the message you are putting out. What you need to realize is that while a few in this group might have similar feelings to you, the majority of the group is extremely supportive of law enforcement officers and their willingness to deal with (on our behalf) the societal scum, and idiots like the guys in the video. I respect LEO's just like I respect our military personnel. They get up everyday, kit up, and walk out the door to face whatever this jacked up world is going to throw at them, and they do it for relatively little pay, and with an increasing lack of support at all levels. Are there bad apples in the group, sure.....just like there is in everything (to include TGO). But to minimize or disrespect what the force does as a whole based on a few bad apples, or to treat the guys walking the streets with disrespect because you don't agree with the law of the land is crap. If you want the laws/policies changed you have to come at it from a smarter angle than terrorizing the sheep and antagonizing the sheepdogs.

Just walked in the den and heard this.... http://www.wbir.com/news/local/tennessee-lawmaker-proposes-second-amendment-sales-tax-holiday/404681290

Right now, I've got AMT quadruplets Hardballer Longslide - 45 ACP - 6" Hardballer Standard - 45 ACP - 5" Commando commander sized - .40 S&W - 4.25" (this is a tough one to find, it's NOT the officer sized Skipper) AutoMag III - .30 Caliber Carbine long slide - 7"

Used to be. I used to own a beautiful Air Arms S410. Brass bolt handle, brass silencer adapter....sigh. I put a LOT of bunnies in the freezer with that thing!

You can probably bet that when this crew starts tossing baggage overboard, she'll be at the top of the list... Sometimes there's a logic to telling outright lies. It's a test to see who goes along and who cries foul. You make a list and know who'll play ball when you really start implementing your plans.

Chuck Norris wouldn't fit?

Lots of 1911 guys on here that will entertain conversation on there favorite pistol. Lots of plastic gun fans too that dont mind jumping in cause deep down they love 1911s too. Just post open handgun forum and there'll be a kickstart following.

Well... if you gotta do some killin', you might as well make sure they's killed

Ok, I want to shoot them all ....

http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator They will fit. They will be 1.8% bigger. You could also try a 225/55/16. They would be 1.5% smaller. 10mm greater width will be spread on either side, so 5mm wider on a side. That is nominal. Check other trim levels of the same car, or the Mercury/Lincoln variants, odds are good they came with different wheel/tire size combinations, maybe with something in 225 or wider. http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Tire-Size-Calculator/215-60R16/225-60R16/225-55R16 For reference my Toyota came stock with 185/70/13s, I currently run 225/45/17s. I have run a dozen different sizes in the past. Going 10mm wider is not going to be much of an issue at all. For disclaimer purposes, my car is HIGHLY modified. This is an extreme circumstance and my suspension/body has been altered from stock specs greatly. It is only mentioned to show that I have a modicum of experience with the topic. However I am not a professional tire guy, take my advice with a grain of salt.

Beautiful .38's by the way....Never shot one, would love to.

Dang, now your gonna make me dig in my safes and make a collection pic?

Hey, a firecracker placed carefully in the proper place could save your life. Good luck with that, any firearm fired in my direction is enough to make me; first take cover and then return fire. I don't care what caliber I have with me, they all beat rocks.

As long as it penetrates 12 inches I don't see why anyone worries about caliber masturbation. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Here are three of mine, I've downsized some I once owned eight 1911's now just three. Top to Bottom, NightHawk GRP totally redone by Alchemy Custom Weaponry, Middle- Wilson Combat CQBE I had built and purchased through TRACTUS SPEICALTY ARMS, and Bottom pic another Wilson Combat CQBE also built and purchased through TRACTUS.

Now you've done it, drool all over my key board.

I thought ARO Matt said to Michael, "You had me at Hello".

Tanfo is just 2 Glocks. The CZ Custom Accu-Shadow is 3-4 Glocks. Your wallet thanks me more for the Tanfo than the CZ. All you had to do was call me. I have a bunch of CZs that need a new home. Even would have told you the parts needed to make it even more smooth.

Word.....................

I am sure most of you know this but entering the code NRA10 at checkout at Gander Mountain gets you 10% off on the website.

You hit the nail right on the head with that. When folks like these idiots choose this method of exerting their 2A rights, I suspect they are just wanting to be the center of attention for selfish reasons. If they really had pro-2A intentions in mind they'd not cast such a bad light on an the cause they claim to support. NOTHING good seems to come from the kind of attention they bring to gun rights efforts. If any legislative actions occur or any public opinions are created/changed as a result of their actions, they will not be positive.

Ya know, the video probaby would have been more entertaining if there would have been a K9 unit present What's wrong with people? I guess it's not illegal to go to the zoo and jump in the lion's cage with a steak hanging around your neck either, but somewhere common sense should prevail. I have no sympathy or respect for attention seekers that try to simply push a bad situation with an open carry stunt. Those guys charged in there looking for trouble, and I think they're lucky it ended well.

Few more stunts like this, and that may change.

That's a beautiful Hardballer Longslide, I had a Backup .380 years ago but sold it. The little tang on the mag release drove me crazy constantly ejecting.

that thing would make a million on murfreesboro rd at 8 am m-f.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you're not familiar with our local version of these idiots that decided it was a good idea to OC a rifle in front of a high school, pacing up and down the sidewalk back and forth until the cops arrived, and this was right after a couple of school shootings occurred. I mean, that's perfectly legal too and no one should bat an eye. They should just not pay any attention to a man walking back and forth on the sidewalk with a rifle strapped to him while school is in session? Then, they should only respond if that guy decided to unshoulder the gun and start firing on the school which would take about 3 seconds, and the police take 5 minutes to get there. #### that, they should have had his face imprinted on the bumper of a cruiser so he didn't have time to react. Like DaveTN said, no one except the person with the gun knows what is going through their mind. Purposefully antagonizing situations because of some twisted interpretation that you are saving the world by being a youtube freedom fighter does zero good for the 2A, in any manner, no matter how you try to spin it.

The exact reason you should put a 50 Lb. bag of cat food in the cart every trip.

I carry a .380 g42 or 9mm g43 when I'm dressed in a suit. All other times it's a g19mm.

I keep a .32 gun in my pocket for fun. I'll carry a bigger gun from time to time as location and wardrobe allows, but I haven't been to a non .gov building yet where my p32 wasn't able to go with me.

A hit with a .22 short causes more damage than a miss with a 20mm.

I carried a 22lr loaded with the 60 grain Aguila SSS rounds as my last resort pistol. Even out of a 2" barrel they will penetrate ~8" in gel and tumble along the way. It was not the best thing to carry but it is way better than a pointy stick or club.

Some folks are just plain stupid!

The trigger on my Block20 is ok but not great. I thought about getting a Pyramid trigger from the block store to drop in or a different connector at the least. I love he gun though. I'm acctually a little hesitant to change it because I can shoot it so well, but it is a little "spongy" too. I don't know of anyone to recommend in your area though.

The business/Chamber of Commerce types will oppose this. Maybe not publicly, but they'll get the message to those politicians they pay good money to leverage as needed. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk just to give Oh Shoot something to be grumpy about.

If you bid on that one, you might want to bid on this one if it stays cheap. It is in the same place and I bet you could work out a trade with someone. 220 lbs (approx.) Fired 300 Win Mag brass http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=11849721 More 5.56 too http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=11849508&convertTo=USD There is also .50 and 7.62 lots Or you could just try and reload these. lol http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=11849581&convertTo=USD or these http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=11872219&convertTo=USD Man I wish I could pick up some of these. I would need a tumbler the size of a concrete truck though. lol

Welcome. Enjoy! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Will it kill it, probably with perfect shot placement. Will it do it quickly and ethically, not for me. If she isn't in a neighborhood, use a 223 or something similar. At a Minimum, use a 22mag or 17HMR if you insist you have to use a rimfire. I know people don't like Coyote's, but there is no sense in being inhumane about it. There is too much room for error with a rimfire that makes it a poor choice for me.

Welcome. Just remember, this ain't Philly and you'll do fine.

Back in October I once again got an 03FFL. Aside from a lack of funds, I really don't have anything in the must have bucket list column. Living dangerously, Iv been known to browse the GB C&R listings on occasion (sorta like having unprotected sex). Well, who can resist the dream world of a Luger holding at $500? I clicked on it. Now every one knows that Luger will close at something that wont be anywhere near the 5 bones it had 5 days out from the gavel. But I clicked on it anyway. Here is the specimen in question.... This particular Luger is a 1906 model that was produced as a 5000 gun contract for the Brazilian Gov. This one is more than likely made in 1908 or early 1909. Its all original & matching numbers with a mint bore. This condition is rather about as good as it gets since these guns saw hard service. Now all that is more or less bla bla bla to me since I never wanted anything too nice to shoot and I figured Id run into a rough mix master someday to play with but here is the kicker. Back in Feb of 88 when I was graduating from the state Corrections academy, I watched them call us up front for our badge presentation one by one. All the guys were getting these brand new 14-1500 numbered bright gold badges, then they called me up there and they hand me this badge in a new case but it didn't look like all the others, mine had the bright gold rubbed off all the high spots and the rest was more like a dull silver gold and the number on it was 1259. Looking at it, I thought now that's a coincidence... if you add the first two numbers together, you get my birth day and the 59 is my birth year! That Badge served me well over the 25+ years I had it. In all that time, my knees and elbows never had to try n dent a concrete floor! Being a might bit superstitious, now you know..... the rest of the story. Closing at $1150 + 25 to ship C&R direct, I think I got a hell of a deal.
