I saw that this morning. Absolutely tragic. There is often a belief that a range or a gun store is a safe location from robbery. Sure, burglaries happen, but we tell ourselves that someone would be foolish to attack a gun store that has staff that is likely armed. I suspect that as a general rule, folks have just been quite lucky on that front up until now. Working at one of these places doesn’t make you safe, it makes you a target. There is absolutely a level of self selection with regards to the type of people that would make this type of play. The kind of robber that’s going to go after your local convenience store isn’t likely to try something like this and the numbers are that there are more of that type. I don’t see there being great numbers of people who would make this type of play, the problem is is that those who will are the hardasses. I think it’s pretty safe to say this was most likely not done by a lone gunman. This was a crew and in Georgia if they’re caught they’re all up for the death penalty. I hope these guys are caught quickly because I strongly suspect they’re not gonna stop here. They’ve already got capital murder charges most likely hanging over their head so there’s a good chance that more people could die before they’re done.3 points

I am the original owner. Like a lot of carry guns this was carried a lot and shot very little. Probably had less than 500 rounds. Never had any issues with this gun. It comes with the box, paperwork and 2 magazines. Also come with 2 nice leather holsters. $475 $4002 points

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.1 point

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 + .011 point

Looking to sell this 10/22 chambered in .22lr with a tapco tactical stock for $200. Comes with original box, 1 ten round rotary magazine, what looks like a picatinny scope mount, and another stock adapter for using the iron sights(the one installed is too high for this). $200 takes it. Must meet in Fayetteville, TN.1 point

All good advice. Grew up with a Lee single kit for my 30 30 and 20 gauge. I was at first sceptical about using a hammer to remove primers and size. Went a long ways in reloading since them.1 point

Non accutrigger but still a decent trigger. It is wearing a Burris MSR. 223 3-9x40 with the Ballistic plex reticle sitting on an EGW scope base. The reason the scope sits abit higher is that it is on the same plane as the night vision I had on this rifle. $450 as is or $300 bare rifle with stock bases. Just replacing this walking rifle. Maryville/knoxville area.1 point

i’ve been running the HB in mine, can’t beat it for the money. had to increase the preload on the return spring since it wasn’t resetting, but it had a couple years on it by then. My stock trigger was in the 14lb range, so huge improvement in pull. Didn’t do much else for it, like the very long reset. End up with more of a decent rolling break long travel trigger you get used to. I’ve tried a friends CZ customs and that was great, much crisper and shorter reset, but $300. Don’t know if they still offer them. I am hoping Timney is produced again. It disappeared a couple months after intro, sold out. They said they were going to make them but it’s been over a year and a half. Possible they encountered a problem with the first ones, but the initial reports were very good. I did get the Mcarbo spring set for my second one, just to try. Same concept as HB. Haven’t gotten to it though.1 point

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.1 point

Hi, new member here and new to forum style conversations. Does this come with the scope or was that just a picture reference? I am also in Dickson County by the way.1 point

I'm an enabler. I have 1/4-inch between the rear of the ejection port and front face of the optic cut on my gun. Compare that to yours and then compare how your holster aligns with your gun's ejection port. Your holster will probably still work.1 point

I go through guns more than I should, lol. Carried a .38 then a 1911 for years, then a full size 9mm. Then back to a big .45, the FNP-45USG. Then a newer 9mm, then a .380 for times thst deep concealment was/is necessary. Then a compact .45. Now a Sig P-365XL Spectre most days and a Ruger LCP Max when in certain meetings. I used to carry S&W .38 for years on the job til we switched to Beretta 9mm.1 point

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.1 point

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.1 point

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.1 point

My favorite's are my Beretta M9 and my Ruger P89. The Beretta's barrel stays straight and level which makes the rounds load straight in from the magazine to the barrel with no feed ramp needed. It's very hard to get one to jam. It runs and runs. That is why I like it. The Ruger P89 is just a big overbuilt reliable pistol. The neat thing about it is when it cycles , it seems to cycle just a tad bit slower than other pistols. It kind of sounds like "kachunk Kachunk" everytime the slide cycles. It will handle the lightest loads that you can make and the hottest loads too. I reload but never make any hot loads but many reloaders use these P-Series to test hot loads. They are that overbuilt and on the thick side but they are reliable.1 point

Does anyone in middle TN stock NV or thermal? I sold my old Harley a few weeks ago, and the idea of getting a super-power(seeing in the dark) is intriguing. I’ve been kicking around thermal/NVG/helmet-mounted/weapon sight for awhile now, and it’s enough to make a man go crazy.1 point
