I was just taking a break at work and stopped in to check the used guns at a gun store in town. In all those polymer guns for sale I saw a huge chunk of aluminum and stainless steel. It was a Ruger P89 made in 1991 , the year I graduated school LOL . Looks to have had around less than 1,000 rds through it . Hardly any wear on the barrel or anywhere. It's the very early P89 with the single-sided decocker. The best thing is that is that I paid $199. If you know Ruger P-Series pistols , these things are like old AK-47's of the pistol world. They just run and run. A lot of reloaders use them to test hot rounds since they can stand a lot of pressure. My wife wasn't too happy when she saw a charge on the bank card for $199 LOL but I couldn't pass it up . Just thought I'd share. Have a great day.

I hope you are asking in earnest and don't easily get offended. Academy has the shotgun for sale you are selling for the same price new. We are a cheap bunch here. We like a deal. I've found that if I keep marking my price down, most items will eventually sell. Being a new member makes some folk skeptical. Requiring a bill of sale runs some folks off. Your location is obviously a stumbling block for many. I hope these suggestions might help in some way without offending.

I don't trust any elected politician at all or anyone they have on their payroll !!!

The FDA denied booster shots for the general population, but allowed booster shots for those 65 & up, plus those with crucial conditions. This was for the Pfizer vaccine. Moderna hasn't been approved yet, but is expected to be in a few weeks. On a personal level, I've had both Moderna shots via the VA. When their booster becomes available, and fits my time frame ( 8 mos. ), I will get it. Do I trust Fauci, CNN, or anything resembling Gov? Heck no. But I do believe in vaccines. Look at Polio, smallpox, and others that were eradicated because of them. Flu shots can be hit or miss, depending on whether or not the target the right strain. So far, in my case, they have been spot on with the flu. I haven't had any side effects from the Covid vaccine, and I've not been in the ICU on a ventilator. I spent 16 mos. in an Army hospital after being wounded. I never want to experience anything like that again. To each his own. JMHO Larry

See my post above. Overall, I haven't seen anyone say that they trusted Fauci - at least not within the past several months after his conduct and connections have come under scrutiny. Personally, I do not put much stock in ANY government bureaucrat.

My personal doctors. All of whom said take the vaccine. I'm over 65 and have mild COPD. If my doctors recommend a booster, I will take it. My time frame would put it in late November. BTW: I had zero side effects.

I don't know the exact demographics. I will leave it to the site admins to address that but the sites roots are in Middle TN and there certainly seems to be a bigger contingent here from the Middle and Eastern parts of the state than the west. That said there are a couple things that are probably slowing response; 1) Seller - You are a new member with limited few posts and no feedback. Not anything specific against you but some established members are slow to deal with new members. 2) Item - Kel-tec shotguns are less than desirable to many. A fair number of folks, including myself, have had negative experiences with their offerings. 3) Location - Atoka is a bit "up the road" even for the Memphis/Bartlett/Cordova based folks. When I was still in Millington we considered Atoka "out in the sticks". Not that Millington was any great metropolis mind you. Welcome, Good luck with your posting and don't let this first one discourage you from the site.

I guess I'm the odd man out, My absolute favorite small carry weapons are the Sig P230 and my Ruger LCR in 38 spec. I actually have several more small ones that never get carried and should be gotten rid of. Several have never been fired.

Not at all. We all gotta find our way through this world. As long as you're not hurting me, I wish you well. I'm sure we agree on way more points than not.

This one should be here this week. Started out as a 1962 S&W then ended up at Clark Customs in 1976 to be turned into a PPC competition gun. This one is in 38spl.

I’m holding out for the biscuit and gravy iteration.

People say don't eat something that's made for horses, and I say. Do you know how much some horses are worth? I don't think they would put harmful crap in anything for horses.

It's been around for a long time for treatment of some human diseases but wasn't declared unsafe until it was recognized as a good treatment for Covid. How could they force the jab on everyone and allow a tried and true treatment to exist. According to my doctor, up until a month or so ago every pharmacy carried and filled prescriptions for it. Ivermectin proved to be even more of a ‘Wonder drug’ in human health, improving the nutrition, general health and wellbeing of billions of people worldwide ever since it was first used to treat Onchocerciasis in humans in 1988. It proved ideal in many ways, being highly effective and broad-spectrum, safe, well tolerated and could be easily administered (a single, annual oral dose). It is used to treat a variety of internal nematode infections, including Onchocerciasis, Strongyloidiasis, Ascariasis, cutaneous larva migrans, filariases, Gnathostomiasis and Trichuriasis, as well as for oral treatment of ectoparasitic infections, such as Pediculosis (lice infestation) and scabies (mite infestation).14) Ivermectin is the essential mainstay of two global disease elimination campaigns that should soon rid the world of two of its most disfiguring and devastating diseases, Onchocerciasis and Lymphatic filariasis, which blight the lives of billions of the poor and disadvantaged throughout the tropics. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3043740/

My wife of almost 42 years and myself - along with my training.

I think she's dead guys.

Two things. 1. We all know what we should have as a Right to arms, it is spelled out in our Constitutions. 2. Fundraising for TFA is for the PAC. No Officer or board member draws a dime from these funds, of any sort. Our financials are public for anyone to see and unlike other organizations that use raised money for personal gain/gain TFA does not allow that. Quite the contrary, John donates huge amounts of billable hour time to this endeavor at no recompense other than a desire to see Tennessee returned to the original construct, (1794 Constitution Article 11 Section 26) that any free man could bear arms for the common defense. We are guaranteed that the legislature and our government is to keep their grubby dew claws off that Right, yet we are complacent and complicit in its loss via statute. This year gave us Civil Immunity, that is a great thing for Tennesseans. We can accomplish much if gun owners understand the Constitution, its intent and work together to accomplish those ends. To quote Paine: "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice."

Got my 1st Moderna jab a week ago. I'll let ya'll know if I grow a tail or something.

I haven't been following this thread or any of the Covid stuff for a while now. I'm just tired and fed up with all the opposing arguments and tons of opinions and "proof" of this or that. It really disturbs me that a world wide health crisis has devolved into a heaping, huge pile of political bull####! I've had enough. I'm gonna speak my mind . For every "scientist" who makes a claim, there's another equally "qualified" "scientist" who claims the exact opposite. And to all those folks who "did their own research" I say Bull####! You already made up your mind and went searching for "proof" to support the opinion you already had. And then there are those who oppose the vaccine, social distancing or wearing a mask on the grounds of "Freedom". Admit it, you're just a stubborn three year old who doesn't like being told what to do. Especially when you don't like the political party that's telling you to do it. WAKE UP DICKHEAD! It ain't about freedom, its about staying alive! Many of you are stubborning yourselves to death! Undisputed facts: 1.The Coronavirus is real AND it can be deadly. 2. There are approved vaccines available that at the very least have shown to lessen the effects of the virus. 3. Hospitals are overrun with Covid patients who are dying in record numbers AND the vast majority of these people are un-vaccinated. 4. The average American is a hard headed idiot! One more thing, a large portion of the dead are Republicans/ Conservatives who didn't get vaccinated for political reasons. At this rate so many of us will die that the liberals won't need to cheat in the next election. Believe it or not, the future of our nation is at stake here. I did take the vaccine. I do wear a mask and social distance. I am being a responsible adult. if you don't and end up dying, don't expect any pity from me. That's my opinion and if you don't like it, tuff ####!

Just bought one of these this week. All positive reviews and I must say my initial impression is very positive. Feels good in the hand, nice balance. Comes with a decent holster. Slide cut for optic. Warren steel sights with FS luminous. 2 changeable backstraps. Shot very nicely to POA and handled all reloads and cycled flawlessly with HP. Has a 12 rd and 15rd mag. Can be had around $400. Lifetime warranty. If you have been thinking about it, I don't think you will be sorry. 3.6" barrel, little chunkier than the S&W 1.0 compact which it won't replace but is a nice option.

Stopped by Academy Cookeville store Yesterday. They had 3 or 4 sets of dies, 3 or 4 different calibers jacketed bullets, and a few sets of calipers. Maybe a few other things.

Very nice. Congrats. They sure are built like a tank.

Congratulations you got a deal on that one! I had one many years ago! Only P-series I have left is the P95.

Good luck finding that.

Fixed it.................... OP, there's generally 2-3 reasons when there's no response to an ad, IMO. 1) Odd or eclectic item. A Kel-Tec shotgun falls into both categories, IMO. These have been on the market for a while & the novelty has worn off. 2) Price. As mentioned, when one can buy new for the price of a used one, why buy used? 3) Personally, *I* have no issue with a bill of sale. Some folks require a carry permit in lieu of a bill of sale. Some (like me) don't give a rat's ass either way. Some would never think of buying or selling to a stranger. Everyone has their own thoughts on this process, so don't take it personal. When pricing an item, look first on Gun Broker on completed auctions. This will give you an idea of current market value of an item. Make sure the ones you're comparing to are used, so apples to apples. Generally speaking, a used item values around 75% of its new price. There'll be some exceptions, of course, there always are. But figure on taking a 25% hit if you bought it new. My .o2

Just found this & thought I'd post it in case anyone wants to go. Fall leaves may be turning by then, so one could double up with a nice drive through the non-crowded mountains of SE TN. Good trout fishing here as well, for those whom do that sort of thing. Even drag someone's dad along as well, IMO. There's always nice cars at these shows, older stuff. Plan ahead, gents!

Maybe after we use the flipped side for a while we can hang it by the hind legs and beat it for a while. Heck, we could even blindfold ourselves and fill it with Ivermectin.

Dumb question. John Moses Browning!

Gladly, it means if you have to use deadly force or the threat of deadly force, you can be sued civilly, but can ask the Civil Judge to order a stay till such time as the criminal case is adjudicated. If you are not convicted of a crime, the civil case goes away. think of Treyvon Martin. As it stood, if you could prove yourself innocent of a criminal charge, you could sue the other party to recoup your legal expenses. This is far superior.

They are calling for them for folks >65-years sold. It was a unanimous vote too.

Many cite leftist cnn, nyt, npr frequently as truth. Many trusted fauchi, his credibility is waning fast as his lies are exposed. As for individuals, I wouldn't say as I'm sure it would be seen as a personal attack.

Yeah , I'd have a hard time buying a P-Series for more money than when they were new , even though they are worth it. There are still good deals out there , you just got to be consistant and keep looking.

LOL! I saw one of those sell for $550 at an auction about a month back. Good score!

Tank of a pistol. Love them! Congratulations on the score!

Speaking of stupid. From source many here trust. Three doses of Covid-19 vaccine are likely needed for full protection, Fauci says - CNN Got the third jab yet??? When does four or five become the magic number?

Congrats! Good score. You are making me want to try one of them. lol Oddly I have never owned one.

Thanks, I've bout a few more since I purchased that one. Mod. 36 Chief 2 1/2" Bbl, a 4"Bbl. J frame, a no dash Mod. 28 Highway Patrol 357mag. and I just bought that 1920 Smith&Wesson 38cal. here on the forum the other day. Also have a Mod.29 44mag. Unfluted Cylinder w/ 3" Bbl. And a 6 1/2" Bbl 45acp.

Lots of lack of common sense. I don’t blindly follow the CDC because they lie a lot, almost as much as their boss. But, I’m not gonna die, and won’t make anyone else sick. I’m mad at my friends for dying because they refused the vaccine. Senseless loss.

So you are mad that people don’t do it your way. Wear that mask. Or better yet, two of them.

The collectors value has been totally spoiled. On the other hand this rifle may have been an unfinished project gun. The ears have been removed and the trigger guard straightened. The dog leg bolt handle is gone. Timney adjustable trigger has been added. Those scope mounts look like vintage Redfield's. The receiver may have been contoured to match the Remington Model 30. That was done in the day. On the upside you have a 1917 barreled action with a bunch of gunsmithing work done. The last Bubba "sportsterizsd and redid" 1917 I saw was butchered beyond salvation for anything. From the photo's the metal on this gun looks looks descent but unfinished, I'm not sure some of that work is still done. The people who did that kind of work are gone. That work may have been done over fifty years ago. No doubt the desecration is offensive to the military collector. I'd bet from the from the photo's and information the rifle will shoot but only after check of the headspace etc. That would be also after finding out if it is still a 30-06. Unmodified, a P14 bolt fits the magnum head size. You run into these guns that are now 308 Norma Magnums.

My younger son turns 18 on Saturday. He’s getting a Smith and Wesson 915 for a present. I guess that explains my position on this matter.

I need a gunsmith around Knoxville to rebarrel a model of 1917 aka P17. Apparently it takes a dedicated wrench. Thanks for any and all help.

There are many people in this country that carry guns anywhere they want everyday and are not restricted at all by what the gun laws are. They probably number in the millions. They also commit armed robbery, murder, rape, sell drugs, rob banks, burglarize homes, jack cars and trucks, commit home invasions and such like. They will continue to carry guns anywhere they want everyday and will not be restricted at all by what the gun laws are. They probably number in the millions.

The sooner you stop believing that Republicans care about your natural rights, including the right to self-defense, the sooner you’ll stop being shocked when they don’t act in your benefit.

Nobody is going to notice that.

It's a Sccy Cpx2. Actually a nice little gun. I bought a Pro Mag 15 round mag and a butt extension for it. Feeds and shoots good. Hollow points too. Some hotter handloads are a little rough in it though.

I believe that while high or low shots generally are the result of uncontrolled breathing, shots to one side or the other of target are normally related to trigger pull technique.

For the last 5 months I have been carrying a Sig P365, it replaces a Kimber Micro 9 I carried for 2 years. I like the Sig's 12 round mags.
