Up for your consideration is a Dynamic duo, kind of like Batman and Robin but better.... more like Batman and Batman.... (you pick which two, that debate is for another forum). Two of the finest handguns you can lay hands on, filling both your needs with a SAO and a DA/SA version, both top of the line in their category. First up is a Tactical Sport Orange. Single action, 40 cal, and only 100 rounds through it. I'm not sure what else to say.... SAO perfection.. $1700 2nd on the list but first in many hearts... Shadow 2 Orange. DA/SA goodness chambered in the ever so popular 9mm cartridge. Only 300 rounds through this beauty. If you are not familiar with the S2O it's your CZ Shadow 2 that has been hand fitted at the factory and a 1911 style barrel bushing installed. Think shooting a laser but only more accurate.... $1800 Both guns 100% issue free. I just have the itch to buy something and being that I still haven't hit the lottery one thing must go to purchase the next. Not planning on splitting these up for now so if you are interested in just one of them find a buddy and you can both benefit from the combined savings Have a new project so adding individual prices, will still do the pair option as well. Feel free to PM with any questions. $3000 for the pair, individual prices listed above.

Here's another view from the side. It's nice being able to carry a spare wheel and extra fuel in style. I originally purchased the Ural specifically so one of my dogs could ride with me. And she does have a set of doggles for her eyes. It's a good set-up for camping, because it's possible to carry so much gear. Urals aren't very fast, maybe 60 mph on a good day, but having two wheel drive is helpful in mud and snow. It also has a reverse gear. The pipe on the hood at the front of the sidecar is for mounting a machine gun, seriously.

Everything you need for IDPA ESP Division: M&P Pro -9 with 5" barrel, fiber optic sight, with Apex enhanced trigger and trigger tune kit, 7 magazines (five 17 rd & two 15 rd), Kydex IDPA legal holster, and mag carriers. SOLD FTF Rockvale/Murfreesboro area

I have two of these so I am selling one to fund another project. This is an early 5.7 with everything it came with. Fired shell from the factory, cleaning kit, lock etc. It comes with 3 mags. Not really looking for any trades but might do a partial trade for some 500 S&W ammo. $1100 $999.99 + .01

Price lowered... Picked this up last year at a gun show. Wasn't looking for one, but the condition and smooth action impressed me. Shoots well and lockup/timing are great. Seems not to have seen much use. Has Hogue grips. Sold as shown, no manual or other items. Ruger website lists the serial # as capable of +P $535 ftf near Sevierville, will not ship. Must be able to legally purchase a firearm in the State of TN. PM me and will send contact phone number THANKS FOR LOOKING!

Just paying it forward as I have no use for these. Free to good home. Not willing to ship but will meet in or near Arlington.

I've got a 950 Yamaha V Star tourer and a Goldwing. Love them both. Outlook for tomorrow is 75 deg. Looks like a good day to ride.

This bike was my buddies for 15 years, it sat for 8 of those & I picked it up. She got a basic frame down rebuild last winter but will need some basic dirt bike stuff. I wasn’t going to buy bars & guards until I knocked the rust off my riding skills. No turn signals, no horn, headlight bulbs, etc. Fresh 626 high comp piston, fresh valve job, new cam chain, custom header, etc. Both carbs have been jetted & tuned with an afr gauge. She makes some good power. New DOT knobbies with heavy tubes, rims are not true. 2 known issues are oil seeping from around the stator wires & one of the carbs drips a little if fuel petcock is left on. It has a 200w Ricky stator so he might be able to get you a new grommet. I doubt the drip can be fixed easily, it’s done it for 10 years & must from the po scoring the fuel needle seat when cleaning it. Ive put 20 miles on it since the rebuild. Mostly from exercising the dogs at the house. Excellent bike for smashing around the woods & running to the parts store. Not a good bike for smaller guys but not impossible to handle. I fogged the cylinder before winter & haven’t started it since.

My brother in law picked up 4K small pistol primers for me yesterday. Local store with no purchase limit. $90 per 1000 so that hurts but that will take care of my USPSA habit for at least a year. Seems like Winchester is about all that’s out there but at least they are out there.

OK I'll play. I'm a firm believer in always having a gun on me, so that usually means something small and light and unobtrusive. A small 9 , snubby 38 or a 380. Any of those on me is better that a 45 left at home. Over the years, Smith 37 nickel- Colt Mustang Pocketlite 380- Keltec 380- Kahr P380- Kahr PM9. I just bought a P365 but havent shot it enough yet to carry it.

Range Report: First Outing I was able to make it to the range today after work and get in a few shots. My initial impressions of the gun are very favorable, especially for my intended purpose of having something smaller and lighter weight than my Glock 19 or Sig P320 XCompact for more discrete carry. I do want and need more range-time with it, though. Feel and Handling I ran the gun with the Wilson Combat grip module installed. Since returning home, I have put the factory laser-stippled Sig Sauer grip module back on it. While the Wilson grip feels like it fills the hand more, I feel like I get a better actual grip with the Sig module. Go figure. Running 124gr 9mm FMJ Fiocchi ammo, the gun is plenty snappy. Compensators are not muzzle brakes. They do little or nothing to mitigate the recoil of the gun. They do combat muzzle climb, but that doesn't translate to feel. It translates to a gun that "shoots flatter" which means you reacquire your sight picture on target faster. People need to understand this and keep it in mind when they shoot compensated handguns. It doesn't change what most people describe as "FEEL". This is still a smaller gun and you are still going to feel it pressing into the bony heel of your dominant hand when you shoot it. It is not as comfortable as shooting a larger gun with a larger grip that spreads the shock across a larger surface area in your hand. Period. That said, I did not find it to be uncomfortable to shoot and I put about 100 rounds through it within a pretty short period of time. Handling of the gun was certainly better than that of my plain Jane P365. Muzzle flip was controllable which made the optic's dot easy to track between shots and quicker to return to target. I found this to be even more striking as I ran the gun faster and faster. It shot flat enough that running it fast wasn't a problem at all. Overall Function I ran 100rds through it within a 30-minute span of time. I did not clean or lube it ahead of my range session. It was only lubed with whatever Sig put on it at the factory. I had ZERO malfunctions. It fed, fired and ejected flawlessly. Spent brass landed reliably within the same general area, so I am confident that it wasn't throwing brass willy-nilly all over the place. Accuracy was excellent. I did have to adjust the way I grasped the gun, however. The grouping for my first few magazines was pretty ugly. It dawned on me that I had some slop in how my support hand was grasping the grip, so I tweaked that a little and got excellent accuracy as a result. To be honest... this showed me that I probably have been incorporating the same amount of slop in my grip on my P320 and could likely make it run better by indexing my support hand the same way. I plan to give it a try. Hell, I am almost 30-years into my study of the handgun and I love that I can still learn to do things better. Anyway... when I did my part, the gun did its. 1-inch groups at 7-yards are pretty easy. This is what I expect from a Sig. It did not disappoint. Target Porn I probably need a better term for this, but here are some targets worth looking at and talking about. These targets are printed on 8.5 x 11 copier paper. The circles are 5-inches in diameter with a 1-inch dark center. The last target is from Sage Dynamics and is basically a central nervous system (CNS) brain and brain stem target. Each target was shot from a distance of 7-yards with 124gr Fiocchi 9mm FMJ. I feel good enough about these to carry the gun. Target #1: This target was the first one after getting the dot dialed in. This is a 6-round group shot at a slow and deliberate pace to confirm zero of the optic. Target #2: Moving right along, I shot the target on the other half of the paper with 10-rounds at a reasonably brisk pace to "learn the bounce" of the dot in the optic as it tracked between shots. I did not take a shot timer but I'd say that this grouping took between 4-6 seconds, just guessing at the pace. Target #3: After a few more targets like the previous one, shot at a brisk pace and getting to know how the gun tracked, I wrapped up the session with something a little faster. This is 24-rounds, total. Two 12-round mags, with a mag change in between them, at a fast pace. The strings of shots were quick. The mag change was NOT graceful. I need to spend more time in my dry-fire sessions with this gun just changing mags. The short grip and short mags require some gymnastics to reposition my dominant hand just right to allow the empty mag to cleanly drop free. I'd guess that this took about 16-17 seconds just by timing myself here in the house with an empty gun. I feel like I should want that to be faster. Conclusion Very nice gun. Small. Light. Slim. Carries easily. Love the 6MOA Holosun green dot. It tracks easily. The comp is noticeable but won't blow your socks off. I need to work on my mag changes. Small grip, small mags, Shrek fingers. Not fast. It's a keeper. I'll be carrying it often.

You should be happy with the new trigger. I don't buy the it's not a match gun thinking. It's a fairly expensive gun and should have a better trigger than what it comes with.

Before we moved to TN we lived in the county on a road that T on both ends and was 2 miles long. On my end of the road within a 1/2 mile stretch we had a guy that built formula race cars, another built drag cars and a third fellow with a large dyno in his garage for tuning racing engines. The formula race guy was pretty quiet but interesting to talk too and see his projects, but the drag racer was usually out testing his latest tunes on his drag car a few days be for the next time he was going to the track. The guy with the dyno would run engines he was tuning into a muffler off a semi that was pointed down his drive which wasn't pointing directly towards our house but close enough. First time I met the neighbor with the dyno I heard the roar and walked over to see what was going on. They got all nervous that I came to complain and I assured them I was just nosey and introduce myself as the guy across the road in the woods. They said ah the guy with the shooting range and we got along fine after that. Was an interesting road to live on. Another neighbor was pretty good at guessing what caliber I was shooting when I would run into him soon after I had been shooting. He was a retired Marine in his 70s. I could never get the Marine to come over and shoot but he liked going to gun shows with me just to look at the M1s and talk with the guys selling them. He could still rattler of the serial number of the M1 he carried.

That’s odd being a member on Tennessee gun owners

Ural corporate has been sending out newsletters indicating they plan on continuing operations, but who knows? My carburetated model was in more or less continuous production from the end of WW II until 2014, so there should be plenty of parts floating around out there (the newer models are fuel injected). I've found needed parts on ebay, and there are a couple of forums dedicated to Ural, and several vendors, so I don't see parts availability as an issue. Nashville Motorcycle Repair is the dealer in TN. They apparently have a number of bikes in stock. Urals aren't for everyone, as the older ones require frequent maintenance. The newer models are more reliable. They are a lot of fun to ride, but there is a learning curve going from a two wheeled bike to a bike with a sidecar, versus a trike.

To far for me, but a good price.

Yep, same here. Got my Ky CCW the first year they were available. Too many to remember, but my LCR rode the longest, about 4 years, and now it's my Kahr MK9 winter carry, and shorts and T-shirt, my Kahr P380 with Underwood 100 gr. cast, they're impressive.

That’s very nice of you. Good man !!

Couple of cents worth from an old geezer .......... I, for one, truly appreciate the efforts of Worriedman and others like him. Without such efforts, there would be NO Carry Permits nor Civil Immunity in our state. We do not gain anything, nor do we protect our Constitutional Rights by sitting on our butts and remaining silent while hoping that someone else will get the job done! It just does not work that way!! We each have our individual beliefs, our own personal views, and our own priorities on which we focus and to which we devote our time. Want to make a difference? Then do nothing. Want to try to make a POSITIVE difference, then do SOMETHING!!! I admire a man who actively stands up for what he believes ...... even if I personally think he is dead wrong. Off the ole soapbox now.

Oh geez. I started carrying back around 1993 or 1994 when I lived in Kentucky and could probably fill a small gun store with the things I've owned and carried since then.

PCC is not a rifle to use to beat people with. My belief is, told to leave my property and don't you are wrong!

$$Sold

Backup shotgun that is not needed. I got it used without a choke tube. I put in a Truglo Gobble Stomper Xtreme .665 ported tube and fiber sights. I haven't gotten around to shooting it. $275. Maryville/knoxville area.

I use a Lee Factory Crimp Die (FCD) for 30/30 because it crimps by forcing the mouth of the case against the side of the bullet instead of pushing down to some extent like a roll crimp die does. That avoids the problem Grayfox54 described of bulging the case either at the shoulder or at the case mouth. The FCD is open at the top so it's easy to see how much crimp you are applying. They are cartridge-specific; the crimper is activated by the shellholder pushing on the bottom of the crimper. It's not complicated as it may sound. You can pull the bullets on your loaded rounds by running the cartridge up into the hole in the press where the die normally goes, lightly grip the bullet with side-cutter pliers, and pull the case off of the bullet. Then resize the cases with the decapping pin removed from the die and start over.

Thanks all. I’m on the hunt for a model 60 in 357. I have other choices but always looking for an excuse to get another!

I'd like to have it "just because". I've put together a few uppers with that barrel, and I've yet to have one that wasn't a great rifle right outta the gate. My favorite rifle to shoot has the 18" SPR version of that barrel. It loves 55gr Hornady Varmint Express and the Hornady 55gr Spire points. My Dad thought I was nuts when I told him I was gonna shoot that 12oz soda @ 450 yards with it .... then he saw it explode. I think his mouth even dropped open a little. (Disclaimer: It took me 5 shots to do it. The scope reticle covers the can at that distance.) However, I have zero need for it and you're too far away. GLWS!!

Thanks. Just ordered one myself.

Been carrying for about 18 years now. First carry gun was a Glock 23. Carried it for a couple of years and picked up a S&W 642. That was my primary for nearly a decade. Then picked up a Taurus TCP which has gotten more carry time than anything over the past 8 years or so. Also heavy in that mix were a Glock 26, a Kimber 1911, and a Kimber Micro 9 that currently sees quite a bit of carry time. I found out quickly that I'm more likely to carry a gun that is easy to carry. Honestly, I despise the .380 round, but it beats the .45 that I don't want to mess with. If I'm carrying a .380 I'm usually either going to be in an area where I expect no trouble, or I have a bigger gun close by.

The weather’s pretty nice today…..somewhere.

WOW ! A few years ago this would be unreal

Got this in a Guns America e-mail this morning. Grand Jury decides NOT to file charges. https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/grand-jury-chooses-not-to-indict-man-from-viral-texas-porch-shooting/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=20220408_FridayDigest_377&utm_campaign=/digest/grand-jury-chooses-not-to-indict-man-from-viral-texas-porch-shooting/

started with the M&P shield and haven't found anything else that I like better. Round count over 10 does not interest me at all. Just added weight. Shoots well, easy on and off with Desantis Peagusus holster. Goes at 4-5 carry or appendix with ease. Lot of nice, small quality guns, but nothing I see as 'better' for me.

My best guess is it's MIM. The holes are too clean to be as-cast and it clearly isn't forged. The blue color pattern suggests they surface hardened the teeth. I'm not sure about the brown toward the center unless that's dirt or oil staining, though I don't think that's an oil wetted area? Belt dust? Maybe a fit mismatch and the bolt got over-tightened when installed and caused it to split. It doesn't appear to have spent any time running while cracked before it failed, it just popped all at once. Does a magnet stick to it? Does it feel inordinately light for its size? Being a race bike, shaving every ounce of rotating mass is high on the list.

Often, we don't get that option. Despite some of the movies and TV shows that act like jury selection is totally in the hands of the attorneys, that is not reality. In my last jury trial (employment case), the judge refused to excuse a potential juror who broke down crying when certain questions in jury selection triggered her memory of a similar situation that happened to her. She had an obvious bias and the judge would not strike her. We were left with using one of our 3 strikes without cause. In this day and age, I don't think 3 strikes without cause can get all the potential juror problems resolved (even assuming you can predict which individuals will be a problem). My purpose for bringing any of this up is to emphasize that letting a DA, judge, or jury decide your fate is a VERY risky proposition. And with society seeming to be more polarized by the day (and most seem to be driven only by headlines and 120 character tweets), it is questionable how many jurors will even attempt to understand the nuance of the self-defense law. I sincerely worry that jurors are making decisions based on pure emotion more and more every day.

I won a P10F last year and figured I would end up selling it, but I really like that gun and kept it. But my favorite? Glock 34.

Nice. Sorry I wasn't here to harass you on it.

Well, they both have T's and education isnt a top priority.

I just super glue guns to my hands. Upsides: can't loose it, and I'm always at the ready. Downsides: one minute youre trying to unzip your pants in the bathroom...Then bam....surprise gender reassignment.
