The decades of give and take have gotten us to where we are now. It’s hard to negotiate when your back is up against the wall. There is no more negotiation. Give a little now, give a lot more later. It’s an endless cycle that will only continue until there is nothing left. This is just one of the many schemes the Dems have to restrict gun ownership.

What's not to like?! Saint John Browning's final design. It's easy to tell older Hi-Powers from the newer series. The slide always tells the story! Older ones until the mid-60's had an internal extractor like a M1911 .45. Later ones have an external extractor visible on the right side of the slide, or you can see the hole for the roll pin that retains it from the left side. Several countries made the Hi-Power. Canadian and Argentina ones are very good. Argentina started cutting corners towards the end and the difference is obvious. for some reason, both countries liked a black paint finish. The Argentina-made pistols are a relative bargain. FN made the dies and set up the production line in Argentina, so parts are 100% interchangeable. If you have large hands, beware of hammer bite. Get one with the round versus spur hammer and that is much less likely. WWII with Nazi markings should be avoided except as a collector piece. FN had a LOT of slave laborers who took shortcuts and sabotaged parts. I almost bought one that had a locking shoulder made of soft iron. I ALWAYS remove the magazine disconnect. It's a dumb idea and I can not think of single incident where someone was happy it was there. An idea that only a bureaucrat or chair-born ranger would like.

UBCs are registration under a different name. It's the same thing. Call your Senators. Email them, visit them. Demand that they NOT pass this garbage. Registration only leads one place: Confiscation.

Unless SCOTUS uses UBCs to toss the Wickard decision, I believe that it will stand if passed. As alluring as the idea of true compromise like getting suppressors off the NFA might sound, I can’t get on board with supporting it. UBCds are unenforceable, unless you have universal registration. So it won’t be long after UBCs get passed that registration will come along to make the UBC system viable.

The risk is where I would say you are wrong. The risk isn’t in the UBC the risk is in what must come next. It’s all about not setting the stage for a registry and UBCs will make one a necessity.

I wouldn’t be to worried. I agree with the inspector. Once you divert the water away the moisture will go away.

The answer is, they shouldn't. But then again, active duty law enforcement shouldn't be able to carry anywhere that the rest of the citizenry can't either.

Yeah, if it’s between 225 and 275 over a fire, it’s barbecue as far as I’m concerned. I got in trouble one time when I was in texas and tried to order a pork sandwich. They assured me that they didn’t do that in Texas. I’ll grant this - subpar brisket and subpar pork shoulder that have been held under a heat lamp or in a steam tray for longer than they should have been are both terrible excuses for meat.

Cars are meant to be driven, and guns are meant to be shot.

I’ll ask. Why should a retired law enforcement officer be able to do something the rest of the citizens are forbidden?

not sure about too pretty to shoot. but I'm the guy who would drive the wheels off of a one of one vintage movie star multi million dollar green mustang.

One and Only was okay when I tried it but not great. Baby Jacks is great. I don't even need sauce with their meat. I love Baby Jacks! I haven't tried WH but I've been meaning to.

Remember that virtually every member of congress is a lawyer, and they've been using the Interstate Commerce clause to legislate things that are not federal in nature for years. They'll surely find a way to exert control, just as they do over a zillion other things in our lives. Congress long ago abandoned the Constitution as it applies to restrictions on federal government.

I'm looking forward to see what the completed bill looks like

Hecho in China?

An attempt to make the federal congress "regulate" the lawful exchange of goods between one Tennessean and another Tennessean, having nothing to do with interstate commerce or any other legit constitutional source of congressional authority... Hmm. Mr. Thompson, how about you see to California and I'll see to Tennessee.

That image is not upside down. The single star is always closest to the blue bar no matter which side of the flag you are looking at. The flag attaches to the pole along the red edge. Even if it was upside down, the single star would still be closest to the blue bar. It looks like they took the blue bar off the image, turned the red part over right to left and then added the blue bar back.

I’m sure some of y’all will get a kick out of this, however others will be perpetually offended. My wife got a kick out of them!

With today's market you should probably move forward. If the down spouts are the trouble and often they are, it can take a long time for the moisture level to get back to normal. If you did smell a musty odor you're probably OK. I had to paint some of my block on the inside with that ugh waterproof paint. Did the trick but was a pain to prep.

Bud's Gun in Sevierville is suppose to be biggest gun shop in TN and has an attached range. I have bought a couple of guns from them. Smoky Mountain Knife Works is next door and has a large gun area and a lot of neat knives. Lots of smaller shops depending on where you land. I'm about 90 minutes from Bud's and try to make it down a couple of times a year. It is a good place to take liberals just to see their head explode from the long guns out on the floor that you can pick up and look at. Handguns are behind the counter or in cases, too easy to walk away so you have to ask to handle them. Full auto and suppressors are federally controlled and require a federal license per item and take 6 months plus to get one.

If I don't make it before then, I'll take a dirt nap in Haysville stone is already there.

THIS. I have a full basement and when we bought our home the last owners didn't have enough slope or drainage around the foundation. You could fill a dehumidifier once or twice daily. After increasing the slope,diverting the water with gravel and or plastic drain pipe, and using drylok on the block our moisture issues now are minimal. But we run a dehumidifier to this day just to keep that basement "feel" to a minimum.

After 30 years of living in Knoxville I have come to accept Buddy’s. It is a Knoxville outfit but has expanded to other places in ET. The meat is not bad and is the only thing I buy there but it’s damn expensive for what it is. By “meat” I mean pork BBQ as is the way. Sometimes I get a wild hair and make some Memphis style mustard slaw, get a pound of Buddy’s and some buns from the sto and have a little feast.

Nice! You ought to just send that Gen 2 grip module off to Dark Side Precision and let him work it over for you or buy one from him when he has them in stock. I have a spare that I am probably going to send to him sooner or later.

Installed a few more parts on it this afternoon. A Mini MR. Bullet Feeder( the one you load and turn by hand) it holds 100 bullets, works great so far with the trial run. Installed a new primer chute and it actually works great. Still have some tweaks to make and a few more parts that I want, oh the Case Feeder will be here hopefully tomorrow or Saturday can't wait to hook it up. Here are a few more pics.

Picked up my new Staccato P DPO from my FFL. Going to do a few mods. on it, either install the old style Grip Module from my Staccato P 4.14 or I might order another EXTREME SHOOTERS Grip Module w/ Grip Reduction like I put on my 4.14 model, and an aluminium Flat Trigger from EVERGLADES and install my HOLOSUN Red Dot this weekend. Here's the pics. of the DPO

Well that's why I wasn't interested in buying it. I shoot everything I own.

A gun that isn’t shot, isn’t loved.

I’ve lived a lot of places and Memphis is the only place that restaurants with such a lack of cleanliness and piss poor service could stay in business as long as most of these around here. It boggles my mind!

The one that we ate at could in no way be referred to as fast.

Terrible, but better than any other chain barbecue restaurants i.e. buddiesTerrible, but better than any other chain barbecue restaurants i.e. buddies

You've seen a lot of the Memphians in here refer to Tops. Tops is a fast food chain. And like I said, the place is terrible.

The basic premise of the act is that LEOs and retired LEOs are subject to targeting by criminals they interacted with while performing their duties.

Been praying for you for years.

I am actually a huge fan of brisket. But brisket is brisket and ‘cue is cue. 2021 is weird. Folks all of sudden keep trying to call things by names they clearly are not.

Because if it ain’t pork, it ain’t ‘Cue.

I've inspected a handful of PSA assembled uppers lately and most of them have had some type of issue. Most common has been headspace too short for 5.56 chambers. But I've also had some that the barrel is not dimpled for the gas block and the gas block alignment is way off. Im not saying that they are all bad, just inspect your PSA stuff, especially if it comes from their budget lines.

The damage is worse than I thought. I’ll add you to the congregation’s prayer lists.

I once made this same statement to a group of Texans in a hole in the wall restaurant in Abilene and my opinion was not well received. The brisket was damn good, though.

Back in the day, I don't think the mags dropping free was a desirable feature. They wanted them to eject about a half inch or so. Less chance of losing a mag in the heat of battle. and empty mag can be reloaded. A lost or damaged mag, can effectively make a semi-auto, a single shot. Europe was especially slow about adopting a drop free mag. Remember the original Glocks didn't drop free either.

Haha, I get it, his shirt is too tight.

There was a significant difference in mine when I removed the mag safeties. I imagine each gun is different.

I removed the mag safety from mine a couple of years ago. It made a difference but given this was the first semi auto I ever shot and have been shooting it since the mid 80's it didn't make a huge difference. Just my thoughts. Verne

The border guys are just dicks. I've crossed into Michigan about 200 times in my lifetime, I don't think I've ever had an issue with the US guys, but coming back is completely a different deal. Now that said, cops coming here for training/competitions are really weirded out by our "never carry, ever ever" policy on handguns, I mean, there's literally nobody carrying a gun that isn't a copper or armed security, so the guys I've met just felt completely naked without a carry pistol, so -maybe- they were thinking of that, who knows, like I said, a lot of them are just dicks, and they gravitated towards border security because they can harass people for a living. Did you know that right now if I was to fly back into Canada, that I may well be forced to go stay at a hotel for a few days in quarantine? Of course, on my dollar. I have to assume that Labrador was pretty hick-ish back in the day. I LOVE the east coast (my daughter is at school in Halifax for a couple more years, we love going out there to visit), but man, that's an extremely poor part of Canada. Good people, but most of them are liberal voters because liberals give out lots of free stuff. I don't know where you would have to go to see "real" Canada anymore. Out in the country in Ontario or Alberta I would say. Any of the cities don't really look/sound like Canada anymore. I certainly don't hate Canada or it's people, but the politics are headed in a real bad direction. I'd rather stand with 80+ million patriots with actual rights, than 1 million Canucks, with a "charter or rights and freedoms" that gets trampled any time it's inconvenient for our dictator leader. Don't get me wrong, there are some absolutely awesome, damn tough people in Canada, but our spirit is crushed, and I just don't see it coming back. Anyplace with a university (much like down south) is going hard left, not really too hard to see where the cancer is coming from

I was not impressed.

I first ran into the Texas Star when shooting IDPA. When you're on the clock, I hate that thing.

I held the compact model yesterday, the texture and the ergos were perfect for me! The 800+ price tag scared me off. when prices return to normal and a 5” barrel is in stock I’ll get one.

Nice work there Greg, I to am late to the while AR thing, I had to get buy the "but it is just a 22 caliber" thing. After reading and watching I went into the platform head first. We now have 3, building 2 more from finish less uppers and lowers. It is the "Erector Set" of firearms.

Picked mine up today. It's everything it was hyped to be. Trigger is fantastic. Short clean break, definitive short reset, and light but consistent pull. Grip/ergonomics are phenomenal. Basically it took a great PPQ platform and accentuated all the good parts and made them even better. Have a Holosun 407c to mount as soon as I get the mount plate. Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow!
