  1. Mine are not for sale!!! But... I have a CZ P-09, P-07, Cajunized 75B, Cajunized SP-01 Phantom, and a SP-01 (my EDC). If you can wait a week, you can try them before you buy something you may not like (your ammo, of course). Obviously I like CZs. I live 2 miles from the Stones River Gun Range on Hobson Pike. Its only open on Fri, Sat and Sundays. I plan on going next week to try and sight in my new PSA Dagger.

  3. Savage 1907 in .32 and .380. "Ten shots quick!" with endorsements from "Wild Bill' Cody and Bat Masterson. First double-column detachable magazine, and striker fired. Extremely reliable if you remember that early .32acp, especially European ammo, was hotter than modern SAAMI spec. Also endorse the original Remington 51 .380. A favorite of Gen George Patton and others. Very ergonomic! Finally, Star PD buffers are still available here: 10 buffers for $44.95 Made & sold by: Jim Dawg 5zero3-59one-51five9 E-mail & PayPal address: bigdawgguns (at) comcast (dot) net

  8. Plate carriers are sized by the plate bag size. If those plates fit correctly in the carrier then it’s a medium. A carrier will generally adjust up or down to most sizes and changing the cumberbund will allow you to get to the ends you need to get to.

  10. The ten days and ten posts is just to be able to send a private message (not receive one). This was due to a lot of scam messages on new listings. If you are interested in something, ask the lister to PM you. Don’t post your phone number, that just gives it to possible scammers (IMO).

  11. This is a hospital issue. Two hospitals released her and the police were called. They have no reason to believe both hospitals were wrong and she acted just like a drug seeker. She just so happened to have a real medical problem. There may or may not also be some history that we don't know about. I expect the police to take someone in need to a hospital, but in this case she had just been to two. How many hospitals do we want the cops visit in a case like this? It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't for them in a case like this.

  13. I've always been a cash guy. I have one credit card and its used mainly for internet purchases. I pay it off at the end of each month. If I can't pay cash, I don't need it. However, much of the younger generation already deals mostly in electronic money. They're used to it. Many use a debit or credit card daily for something as small as a soft drink at the local store. How many of you pay your monthly bills through automatic payment plans or receive direct deposits? No doubt at some point in the future cash will go away. Also bear in mind that the vast majority of "money" in this world is actually nothing more than numbers in a computer somewhere. If you want to make a large cash withdrawal, many banks need a couple of days to get the cash together as they don't have it on hand. BTW: they will report a large withdrawal to the feds. An all electronic economy opens the doors to all kinds of nefarious possibilities. Never underestimate the criminal mind. And that includes our elected criminals as well. May be a moot point anyway. Biden's EO simply authorizes a study into the possibility of an all electronic economy. Ain't nothing written in stone yet.

  14. Either go big here, or keep it on you. The bolted box is where it's at. A cable can be cut in seconds. I never leave my pistola anywhere. If it can't go ( I understand the " work " thing, I'm retired though. ), I can't go. They don't call it concealed carry for nothin. leroy...

  16. While I agree that taxes would be a major point, it surely is not the whole point. Those kinds of proposals are insidious, and if you and I can think of ways that they could be used to benefit one political group over another, or to exert control over one group or another, then you can be sure that someone in government will see those ways as an opportunity.

  18. It really does relate to the 2A in a very fundamental way. If paper money goes away and is replaced with digital (and don't think that can't happen. Almost all your bank transactions and credit card purchases are digital) then Uncle Sugar will be able to monitor every purchase made by everyone. Data drives the modern world, and a fully digital economy would make it easy to see where you and I spend our money. The implications go far beyond the 2A, of course. I'm an old, retired guy. With the current ESG protocols it would be pretty easy to say, "Hey, that guy's retired, he sure doesn't need to fill his gas tank more than once a month", and set it up so that the gas station won't take my money card. I can think of some benefits, too, but those I can think of are not worth the downside.

  19. I don't recall seeing the Star PD mentioned, I had one of these alloy framed 45 acp pistols around '89 -'90. Despite having to use it proprietary (edited for spelling) 6 round magazine and having to replace it's recoil shock buffer at least every 1000 rounds it was a great and very easy to carry little autoloader. IIRC it had adjustable sights but shot great with 230 gr "hardball" and 230 gr Hydra-shoks. AND it didn't have a grip safety! I liked that feature as it was a "trend" back in the day to pin the grip safety to ensure reliable function in less than ideal grip situations. Think entangled fighting and/or non-dominate hand use. It's thumb safety has a decent size and very positive in use. I believe Star stopped making them around 1990. When I first purchased this little gem I bought around 20 of the plastic buffers. Those buffers sold out (dried up) quickly when Star dropped this PD from it's line up. I regret selling it from time to time...but I ran several thousand rounds through it without a hitch. It was really a well made alloy frame pistol for the time. But without replacement buffers it's life/use would have been limited... I'll "defend" it for what it was at the time LOL.

  21. When I have to leave my pistol in the vehicle I keep it in a keyed lock box. One like this, mine did not come wallyworld. The cable goes around the seat frame and the box is under the seat, out of sight. It is rare that I have to go unarmed. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Scout-Safe-P-10-Handgun-Safe-Lock-Box-Pistol-Safety/861211557

  22. I guess I'll be the resident A-hole here but where the hell was her family when she was discharged ? There's selfies with her and her daughter? posted while in the hospital bed. No way I'm letting them set mom on the curb and me not be there to get her. That's the first tragedy in this incident. Im not dismissing the actions that followed but for her family to come on after and point fingers is unsettling.

  23. I'm in pretty good shape as far as primers go for the next several years. BUT, as with most of us that handload, I don't want to run out. So, I've been following various forums and have seen these primers mentioned (sold through the Norma website). Several folks have posted that they have ordered these with free shipping and no Hazmat. Sounded too good to be true. So I continued to watch and wait. I kept reading about positive experiences both as regards the primers and the no Hazmat/free shipping. Then a 20% discount code popped up. I thought, well I've never paid $60.00/1000 primers before. I only paid $27.00/K for the last I ordered pre-Covid. But figured "What the heck" So I logged onto the Norma site and ordered 3000 primers for $180.00....total. I received shipping notice and FedEx delivered the primers 4 days later. I had read that the primers worked well, just that they needed to be fully seated. I loaded up 40 rounds of 9mm... 20 using my old Dillon 550 to seat the primers and 20 using my RCBS hand priming tool. Next I loaded 40 rounds of .38 spl full wadcutters. 20 rounds using the RCBS and 20 rounds using my single stage Lee press. Finally I loaded up 20 rounds of .32 S&W longs. All using the Lee single stage press. I took my G-19, S&W Shield in 9mm, LCR in .38 spl, my S&W Model 15 (.38 spl) and my LCR in .327 mag (.32 S&W loads) over to Range USA this morning. Only one round required a second strike. This was a 9mm in my stock factory innards Glock 19. And it was a Dillon seated primer. So, one round out of 100 required a second strike. I have no complaints... well, except I wish the price would come down more...but don't we all. FYI.. these primers sold out the day I ordered. But from what I read on various forums Norma runs this deal from time to time. Just thought I'd share some, to me anyway, good news. I normally only shoot my G19 and .38 LCR each week. But I sacrificed all the darn cleaning I still have to do so I could share this info with you folks.

  32. Always wanted one of these. Ran across one at a Clinton Pawn Shop, last summer. But felt they wanted too much for it at $600. It was pretty beat up. And also I remembered the thing about the shock buffers. Not sure you can find them anymore at all. Pretty sure they replaced it with the Firestorm, which was a little all steel single action pistol, in 9mm and .45acp. Those were pretty neat little SA autos too. Still see them around from time to time. Someone may have already mentioned them on this thread.

  34. As my username implies, I'm one of the folks that have fled the state of California to the beautiful tree-filled state of Tennessee. Don't worry. I'm not turning this state purple. This Kahr Arms PM9 was a trusty CCW option for me for years back in the restricted state. The trigger is smooth as butter and it is a reliable and accurate little shooter. Now that I reside in this free state and have easy access to the Sig 365 line, I've found myself not carrying this PM9 anymore. I'm offering it up to others since it may be put to better use by someone else. I believe that my round count on this is under 1,000 rounds with zero malfunctions. Included: (4) magazines; (2) seven rounders and (2) six rounders Original box, manual Talon rubberized grip applied Asking $475 Will travel to Nashville area if needed. Trade Interests: Henry Golden Boy 22lr S&W 642 Kimber K6S (I'll put money into the deal to offset) I'll entertain others but those three are on my mind.

  36. Sent this as I am hearing the Sheriff's Assc. and TBI will be joining DOS in opposing HB 1005 over the inclusion of long guns...: Representative ********* The attached chart and graphic are instructive with respect to the situation Nationwide with respect to long gun carry recognized as a right instead of being treated as a crime. I have maintained for decades when speaking to the General Assembly, that sans individual Tennesseans bearing their personal firearms (in case of confrontation as is stated as a right in Heller, McDonald, and Bruen) there would be no Republic. In 1780 John Sevier, William Campbell, and Isaac Shelby led the Overmountain Men (Early Tennessee Volunteers) at Kings Mountain to kill “Bulldog” Patrick Ferguson and stifle the southern push by Lord Cornwallis to break the will and back of the Revolution. “Light Horse” Harry Lee called them, “A race of hardy men who were familiar with the use of the horse and the rifle, stout, active, patient under privation, and brave.” The leaders spoke this to the assembled farmers and tradesmen just prior to the battle “Don’t wait for the word of command. Let each one of you be your own officer and do the very best you can.” General George Washington exhorted his own men by saying “The crude, spirited, hardy determined volunteers who crossed the mountains served as proof of the spirit and resources of the country.” Just the “Average People” as Colonel Perry described us in his testimony in the House Civil Justice subcommittee, were the type of people who signed their very lives on the ‘For” line of that check, written as one willing to lay down their lives for their friends and Liberty. Moving forward to 1814 and the call for volunteers to go with Colonel Jackson to Alabama to fight the ”Red Sticks” Creeks at Horseshoe Bend. Once again into the breech strode private Tennessee citizens, with their private rifles, to stand against crime and tyranny, not soldiers, but rather the “Average People” once again pitting themselves against an attempt to wrest freedom and liberty from the people. Without waiting for government to rescue them they took initiative with the tools best suited to the task at hand, which by the way, were guaranteed them in the recently ratified Bill of Rights. At that time their right to keep and bear arms had not been fully infringed (that would come later in 1821 by action of the Tennessee General Assembly). Coffee, Carroll, Houston, and Crockett all present defeated the Creeks at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend and went from there to the field of Chalmette and destroyed the British at the Battle of New Orleans, Coffee and Carroll again at the center of danger without regard for personal safety, they led and bled for Liberty! Major A. Lacarriere Latour, Historical Memoir of the War in West Florida and Louisiana (Philadelphia, 1816), 88; was quoted as saying: “Their appearance, however, was not very military. In their woolen hunting shirts and coperas dyed pantaloons; with slouched hat or cap made from the skins of raccoons or foxes; with belts of untanned deer-skin and in which were stuck their hunting-knives—but were admirable soldiers, remarkable for endurance and possessing that admirable quality in soldiers, of being able to take care of themselves. At their head rode their gallant leader, a man of noble respect, tall and herculean in appearance, mounted upon a fine Tennessee thoroughbred, was stately and impressive." General Coffee’s Tennesseans, those modest and simple sons of nature, displayed that firm composure which accompanies and indicates true courage.... Instinctively valiant, disciplined without having passed through the formal training of reviews and garrison maneuvers, they evinced on this memorable night, that enthusiasm, patriotism, and a sense of a just cause, which were of far more avail than scientific tactics. The heroes of Wellington, who boasted of their military tactics and disciplined valor, were often doomed by woful (sic) experience, to appreciate the prowess of those warlike sons of the western country.” Stanley Clisby Arthur, cited in The Story of the Battle of New Orleans “Over 2,000 British were either dead, wounded, or missing, while the American loss stood at seven killed and six wounded.” A resounding victory for the ”Average People” and once again proof that Tennesseans with their personal rifles were a mainstay of the protection of the Republic. I entreat you to consider the text and history of our Great State, that free men with their personal arms are in fact “the true palladium of liberty. . . . The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.” (from St. George Tucker in Blackstone’s Commentaries), and to move HB 1005 by Grills/SB 1503 by Stevens as written currently to Public Chapter. Please keep in mind that any private business can limit what weapons they want to allow in their brick and mortar. I negotiated with a large “Quick Stop” chain years ago their signage that permitted ONLY concealed carry, the same could be done with long guns in the Wal Marts your constituents fear seeing them in. Be cognizant too, that AR 15 pistols are legal at this time under the law you helped pass in 2021, same fire control group, same magazine size, same everything, only very short barreled and no stocks making them easy to hide. Those are already among us, and you voted for that to be allowed. With all due respect. C. Richard Archie

  44. I really like my Governor. Very versatile and better built than the equivalent Taurus with the additional advantage of shooting 45ACP, lots cheaper than 45 Long Colt. I use it a lot to shoot .410 to do carpenter bee skeet. You just have to be aware of which way you're pointing, they vaporize when you get a clean hit.
