These guys took money directly from my family and I hope they rot in jail for a long time. I know they have stolen in excess of 100k in merchandise just from 1 location. It cost my family hard earned bonuses because the shrink was so high at the store. They even threatened employees when they were confronted for shoplifting. There has been a case building against them for over a year now and I am glad they have been stopped. http://www.local8now.com/content/news/Knox-County-Sheriff-and-ATF-investigating-a-Pawn-Shop-off-Western-Avenue--420376643.html Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

I am curious. When is the last time you got out and did some shooting? Did you just go to the range for some target practice, were you shooting in a competition, or was it at a class? It seems like a lot of folks that I've spoken with lately are in a slump and haven't gotten out very recently to shoot. Granted, the weather this weekend hasn't been the best for it either but I got out yesterday anyway in the middle of probably the most torrential rain we've had recently and ran a few guns in it just to see how they (and I) would handle less than ideal conditions. No surprises, I and they did just fine. One thing that became very apparent to me in the middle of the downpour -- and I do mean that I shot out in the downpour, not under shelter -- was that the M&P M2.0 grip texture was a godsend and the Sig P320 grip texture left much to be desired. I am glad that I have a grip module out for stippling with a gentleman in Arizona and can't wait to see how it stacks up when it returns. That's really my only gripe about the P320. How about you? I am sure that some of the competitive shooters here and any local infantry grunts (current or former) have shot in the yuck and muck, but do any of the rest of you do this occasionally to test your gear, your abilities and yourself?

Green River Gun Club of Bowling Green KY. will be holding a Tactical Rifle Match on Saturday April 29'th. I don't have a lot of detail yet, but I'm told there will be 5 or 6 stages, 100-120 round count, maximum range about 125 yards. 8:00 am set-up, start at 9:30 am. We have extended the range behind bay 5 to 125 yards and can get about 65 yards in bay 1 and 5, if the MD's want to use it. Denny and Dan are the match directors, and GRGC will now have tactical rifle matches on the 5'th Saturday and on the 3'rd Saturday on the months with no 5'th Saturday. So, 5'th Saturday matches are in April, July, and September. The 3'rd Saturday matches are in May, June, August and October. For more information go to GRGC's website: http://www.bggrgc.com/index.html

Looking at the Colt website it was made in 1918. The brown spots on the front of the gun appear to be something like shellac and not rust.

Me and the guy's at the office take a long lunch on Monday's and shoot one week and do combatives training the other

I did, but you'll never hear me admit it ...

I keep talking about it to myself, I'm losing the argument!

The Dixie chopper kit is nothing more that 3-4 links of chain bolted every few inches along the back of the deck. Easy DIY.

Oh do you have invisible friends like me?

It's the voices...those dang voices...

130 miles apart, and I'm just about smack in between Manchester and Green River, so that makes them both about an hours drive, which I'll do for a local match. I'll even drive the 80 miles to Music city on occasion (not lately though). I'm just being selfish. With Gallatin gone, Manchester and Green river are my only local IDPA options. Too bad you missed the BUG match. The rain stopped before set-up and didn't start up again till we were done. Lot's of strong hand and weak hand strings, and lots of dead no-shoots.

Which was perfect for me since I'm sort of halfway between both. Saturday I could shoot bad at GRGC...., then travel to Manchester on Sunday and do even worst shooting with the MTSC folks!

This is good news! I wonder how many folks they caught

I did it once but was told not do it again!

Cabelas and go with the bib overalls/set that the pro fishermen use. Their job depends on it.

Karma has been quite good to me lately, so I'm just looking to pass some down the chain. I'll be moving into a new apartment in a few weeks, and it already comes with a washer & dryer. So, instead of putting what I have no into storage, I figure I would bequeath it to an individual or family that can get some use from it. They're not the latest models, about 10yrs old in fact, but they still work just fine and I've never had a problem. Instead of them just sitting in a garage for years on end, I'd like these to go to someone who would actually need it...a family just starting out on their own, someone who can't afford one and has to go to a laundromat despite hookups in their place, something like that. If you know of anyone who would fit the bill, or can find someone through your social circles, church group, or other networks, please let me know. I'll be ready to come off them in two weeks, and would ask that someone come to Murfreesboro that weekend to pick them up. Please reply or PM with any takers. Thanks for reading.

I like it pretty well. They've been doing better with the upkeep and range improvements. It's like everywhere else, some days it's crowded and sometimes there are idiots there. For the most part it's a good group of people though.

I was one of the lucky few to get one of the K11 carbines from Classic Arms' latest batches. Very pleased that it's not soaked in cosmoline, and that it has all matching numbers, and included the trifecta of accessories (sling, muzzle cap, and troop tag) Too bad the troop tag is not legible, but it does have a number matching the rifle, and the guy was in the army reserves and lived in Burgdorf. This rifle seems to be a conversion from the Cavalry Carbine Model 1905. Based on the fact that it's about 1/8" to 3/16" shorter than my K31. Also, it falls within the serial number range of the converted ones, in the year 1916. It has a "T" after the serial number, which I believe is an inspector stamp, and it has a P below the number with means the soldier kept his rifle. There's also a "35" stamped below the serial number, and the only thing I can come up with for that is if the rifle was refurbished at the factory in 1935.

You can definitely use the slide release Dave. That sucker is tiny and crammed into a small gun to start with...but it's "doable". Mine has the manual safety fwiw. I default to an overhand slingshot method as that was how I initially trained. After 10 of thousands of reps it's just ingrained in me. But I did intentionally use the slide release several times when running my Sccy the other day. I always carry a second magazine. Not so much because I fantasize about taking on the Isis hoards ...but as a malfunction clearance tool... and simply because magazines are usually the failure component culprit in a semiauto...low probability issue...but I train to keep the gun running and the extra mag is a link in that chain.

I went to the range this morning and ran 150 rounds through my G17 (new sights), about 50 rounds through my 9mm Shield (pocket carry) and about 150-160 rounds through my 9mm Sccy. Dave is right on the weight difference of course. The Sccy weighs in at 15 oz, my 9mm Shield around 20 oz. Those are unloaded weights. The Sccy has a double stack 10 round magazine and therefore a significantly thicker grip.The Sccy's grip is more akin to a Glock 26 vs the thinness of the Shield. I find the transition from the Shield's trigger (mine is smooth and easy with a positive reset right out of the box) to the Sccy's is like the difference between shooting a striker fired semiauto and revolver. I even use the same rolling trigger technique I would use on my J Frame Smith. You can even “stage” the Sccy trigger like you can a DAO revolver. I don’t know the dimensions because I haven’t measured it…but the Sccy has a short enough grip that I pinched the crap out of my right palm a couple of times doing mags changes while running a few drills. It’s no big deal as I’ve done similar with my Shield a time or two. The Sccy, (possibly?) seems to be settling in or breaking in somewhat. I’ve only put about 400 rounds through it so far…but the feeding of SD ammo seems to be markedly improving. I ran one 10 mags of Pow’R Ball through it (already knew that it feed reliably) but I also ran a mag of each of the following with no issues: Black Hills 124 gr +P Gold Dot Winchester Ranger 147 gr +P HP Remington 147 gr Golden Saber HP Winchester (White Box) 147 gr HP Speer Gold Dot 124 gr HP standard velocity ( I have some 147 gr HST coming today I plan to try on my next range session) The rest of the rounds were handloaded PC 130 & 155 gr RN I normally practice with. If you replicate this please have extra Bandaids with you… It’s a very light pistol with a few sharp edges that are noticeable when running the +P loads… As a Rule of Thumb, I don’t carry any handgun for defensive purposes until I have between 750-1000 through them to “prove” their reliability to me. I don’t plan to forego my Shield nor my Glocks… but I am pleasantly surprised with my $200.00 investment thus far.

Lol stupid spell check. I typed keltec not Kentucky.

Even though I'm 64 I ended up getting the lifetime carry permit. Hopefully I'll be able to use it for a while.

I like Kubota tractors. With that said most Kubota dealers seem to sell Exmark that I've seen. If you are going to spend $8000 or more buy an Exmark. There is a reason they are the pros choice. Under the 8k mark I still like the Bad Boy for the strongest mower for the dollar. I used to own a Dixie and you were told correct. The new ones aren't as good as the old ones. And green is just a really expensive color of paint.
