  3. UT has made some great strides in improving their team/system in the last two years. That said, they're still not in the elite class of CFB. Sure they beat Florida, so did Vandy, beat Alabama, good win but gave up 49 points. Smoked by Georgia & never showed up in Columbia. Great teams find a way to win, Ohio St., TCU & Michigan showed that yesterday. They're 9-2, great season so far, I hope they continue their quest for excellence. Hope Hooker & others injured recover completely & easily.

  8. Selling a CZ SP01 Tactical. Includes one set of LOK Bogey Black Thin Grips, Dawson blacked out rear and fiber front sights, 4 extra Mec Gar flush fit magazines, one set of LOK standard full checkered grips in Blue/Black and finally a Comp Tac Holster Right Hand. I find myself shooting my (gasp!) polymer framed pistols more. (Please forgive my blasphemy of the CZ DA/SA.) Its a great pistol but I do find myself shooting the polymer pistols I own much more often. I am trying to cull the herd down to the same platform for competition/range/defensive use so I have the same grip, index, etc...between compact, full and optics, blah blah blah. Everything one needs to start competing or just to have a fun range toy. Selling for $875. Thanks for looking.

  10. It's a negligent discharge when holstering/unholstering the gun. It can happen with any gun by a person using poor handling techniques, but It's theoretically more likely to occur in a striker fired pistol than a gun with a manual safety, an SA revolver, or a DA revolver with a 100 lb. trigger. Strikers do have safeties, but not a manually actuated lever to lower a firing pin block or allow the trigger to move as a manual safety gun would have. The person effectively shoots themselves in the leg, the foot, or at least gets a nice powder burn on the thigh and a brown stain in their pants. Since Glocks are by far the most common and well-known striker-fired pistols, it's known as "Glock leg". It's an overblown thing commonly used as a rallying cry by people who like big heavy steel revolvers and 1911s and have an irrational need to hate the plastic fantastics. In the context DocHawk mentioned it with holsterless carry, a striker fired pistol should never be carried with one in the chamber. Personally, I'd say that's true of a DA/SA with a manual safety too without a holster. One cause of this very uncommon issue is something like a shirt tail getting in the way and "pulling" the trigger as the gun is reholstered. Another is the shooter having their finger on the trigger as they draw or reholster. Practicing good trigger discipline and clothing management during your dry fire draw/holster movements with an unloaded gun on a regular basis is a really good way to mitigate the risk, no matter what/how you carry.

  11. Looking to buy a used Colt Python & Anaconda.. Worn, broken in.. exactly what I want…a shooter. I have a few old Smiths, but have never experienced shooting the old Colts. Would like to buy some shooter grade stuff… some that I won’t mind loading some hand loads in, and enjoying.

  13. Killed my first deer this am about 7:15. Had 4 pts + 2 smaller points, not quite 1". One shot & he dropped like a puppet with his strings cut. A 45/70 don't mess around. This was a very healthy deer * & heavy. My bud had to take his John Deere tractor with hay fork to load it on the tailgate.

  14. Our newly elected Republican Super Majority House Caucus is doing its Annual Retreat this weekend up at Paris Landing. The Freshman Class will be set upon and told what they can and cannot do by the Old Timers League. No controversial bills first year, sit and listen, be inconspicuous and such, pay no attention to that Constitution, it is just words on a piece of paper. I plan on talking to my Rep. as soon as he is loose, as the agenda for the coming session will be the main focus of conversation. I suggest anyone interested in their Rights as identified with respect to arms do the same as soon as possible. Call your Representative's Nashville office and ask for their cell phone number (if you do not already have it) and a call back to talk about what was discussed at the retreat. It is after all, your business they hold in the palm of their hands...

  20. Monkeylizard provided a great summary. As he mentioned, it applies to any striker-fired pistol or hammer-fired with an SA mode. The reason Glock's name got specifically associated with the negligent discharge was that the introduction of the striker pistol into widespread service with LE and security in the 80's and 90's was met with heavy resistance of a certain segment of the population who were tied to their revolvers, full metal/thumb safety S&W's, and the like. There were a handful of reasonable considerations backing these opinions, and a boatload of emotional attachment and cognitive dissonance. The Glocks were derided as "unsafe Tupperware guns." The wide distribution of Glocks unfortunately revealed unsafe practices in law enforcement gun handling. Many officers tended to index on the trigger with their finger on the draw. The gun transition revealed this problem with far greater frequency than before, because the double-digit pounds of trigger weight on a typical service revolver allowed for this nonsense without consequence. On a striker fired pistol without a manual safety, however, the Basic Firearm Safety Rules are very important. Worse, some officers were bit by their habit of riding that trigger upon reholstering, with the inevitable holster pinch leading to a bang instead of a physical reminder to withdraw the finger. Inadequate training was of course found to be the problem, not an inadequate firearm. However, the term Glock Leg has stuck, and just like "Mexican Carry" it is spoken in professional circles with a bit of tongue-in-cheek double meaning.

  25. I did indeed, and I apologize. Please forgive me and extend me a little grace in understanding; having given up my dream home, my lifelong friends, my extended family, my community ties, and my life's work all because of a state that I could no longer support with my tax dollars, almost no insult could cut closer to my bone than calling me Californian.

  26. Well, could be that some use it as a derogatory term, but then, there’s this, which I think may have some basis in historical fact: https://legionary.com/mexican-carry-what-is-it-and-should-you-be-using-it/ and this, by a well recognized member of the gun community: Massad Ayoob says: The [Mexican Carry] term is not perjorative. It arose long ago among gun people. In homage to proud Mexican men of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Beset by trants who stripped them of liberties, including the right to carry guns if they were not part of the political elite, these defiant citizens.... needed to be able to ditch the gun to be retrieved later if they were about to have contact with Federales, and since a holster could not be so quickly ditched and would be prima facie evidence of resistance to tyrants' law, the holster was dispensed with. - The Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry

  27. Well ... There's a California translation if I've ever seen one. I believe it originated more from the western tradition of holster less waistband carry. Typical of the time south of the border. Not sure it's a racially charged degredation of Hispanic gangs. Using your logic, it would have been better addressed as the "Compton carry" or better yet the "Burress Tuck" And I'm an authority because much of my family is Hispanic, first generation American from Mexico.

  28. My first was a Stevens 530a 16ga double barrel that my dad bought new in the 1950s. Still have it and it will be passed down to one of my boys. It has some wear but still tight as a new one. It's killed many squirrels, quite a few rabbits, and doves,

  31. We got a bill today that reflected the cost of defective water heater. Definitely see a difference. Just one bill though. It was $340. The weather was nice that 30 days. I've replaced the incandescent can lights with LEDs in the part of the house I plan on putting insulation in. I did not want to build boxes around the old lights. I have enough insulation to do 1300 square feet sitting in the living room. It's going in tomorrow. Did an experiment with downstairs wood stove. I basically left the door open. This is something I can't do with my youngest Daughter home. I kept the stove at 550°. After an hour I had to close the door halfway. 8 hours and the heater never came on. Probably going to get a vented door or a vent with a fan above the door. The fan motor is about 20 watts. I can't run the stove every day, but 3 days a week would be easy.

  33. My first was a Remington 870 in the mid 90’s. My stepbrother and I both got one for Christmas. The first semiauto I shot was a Browning SA-22. Jamomatic for some reason. When dad passed I received 3 22lr’s he had including a 22lr/22short single shot bolt action youth model he and my aunt learned to shoot on. It’ll still click but I’ve never gotten it out.

  38. The 340PD is probably the ultimate J-Frame sized .357/.38 pistol. It’s lightweight and just disappears. That light weight also might cure you of wanting to shoot it a bunch with full house .357 loads.

  39. I think I've shared it before, but this was my grandfather's duty gun when he was a police officer back in the 60's. Smith & Wesson Model 19. He left it to my dad and I inherited it when my dad passed away. This is one of those guns that my kids will inherit one day, and hopefully their kids as well.

  41. Handled one today. The grip texture is very aggressive but not horrible. The grip angle is great. I like the feel of it. Feels built like a tank. Weight does not seem to be noticeable over polymer. Wish they had installed night sights from factory. They did include plates to match almost every red dot out though. Love the looks of it. The color with the cerakote is spot on for this pistol. Time will tell but this is a sharp looking gun.
