Springfield Trophy NM 1911 45 with case and 2 mags. $1150 maryville meet

YES! I am very concerned about it. Though I do most of my bill-paying and make most of my purchases digitally, I still want to be able to use cash to buy certain items without fear of Big Brother knowing what I have. If the country were to go to full digital currency, then you and I would be entirely unable to buy a shovel or a hammer, for example, without Uncle Sugar knowing what we bought. I also worry that it would be really easy for someone to decide that I, a retired fellow, only need x number of gallons of gas a month, and simply deny a fuel purchase that I don't "need". Or perhaps someone might decide that I only need to shoot a certain number of rounds a month. I know that's a little bit foil-hat, but I still worry about it. Give government means to power, and it will exploit those means.

Not concerned for the same reason that I don't watch news or sports, there isn't a damn thing I can do about it to change the outcome.

This isn’t necessarily going to be a comforting answer - but for all intents and purposes - your dollar is already essentially digital in every way that matters. And, for everything anyone in this thread might be worried about - the Fed doesn’t need any new currencies to do any of that. But, on the flip side - I’m not the least bit worried about it. Why? For anyone who’s reading this, the dollar has been the global reserve currency for your more or less your entire life. While we don’t typically go through this exercise on a daily basis - the average American consumer actually benefits from this. A lot actually. There are a lot of countries (the BRICS countries specifically - but some others too) that would love to see that unlinked. This is the kind of thing wars are fought over. The system we have in place right now came into being towards the end of the last really big one. China is working on a digital currency. Their end goal is to replace the dollar. We’re absolutely going to do everything in our power to counter this - including developing our own digital currency. FWIW, when you see a story that’s trying to get you all spooled up about digital currency - and specifically trying to handicap that development - I’d encourage you to ask yourself what the teller’s end goal is. You don’t necessarily have to root for China to root against America - but the outcomes sure look similar.

XS makes R3D Night sights for the K6S, I will be getting the Orange and a TK custom spring kit installed on my favorite revolver when I get home, Tim Thurner made this Holster for mine

Don’t forget hunting season is on the way.

The post-recall P320s are fine. That video shown above is clearly the result of something that didn't belong in the holster with the gun. You can see the gun get fully pushed into the holster as the cop bent over, and then BOOM. Here's the deal: Anytime a cop has a negligent discharge, FOP protocol (whether formalized or not) is to blame the gun. That's just how it works. I've got several friends whom I trust who have been through the P320 armorer's course and they all say that there is no way that the P320, post-recall, can fire without the trigger being depressed. Period. My own P320 is carried often and I have close to 3,000 rounds through it at last count. It has never discharged out of battery or unintentionally.

I have a new psa m4 ar15 for trade . I am looking for and optics ready cz p10 c , optics ready smith and weason M&p 2.0 or a beretta apx that’s optics ready . Will consider other every day carry guns in 9mm located in Portland Tn

Going to be honest, I don't want to sell this one. I absolutely love this gun and for that matter, so does my wife and it has actually gotten her out to the range more often with me. Truly just an awesome shooter. That said, I've found myself with too much money tied up in too many things and need to free up some cash. $1200 FIRM is the price in which I have to let this go if someone wants it. For less, I'll keep it and sell something else. Or if the L1A1 I have posted here sells first, then I'll remove this posting. So if you want it, jump on it while you can. Of all the guns and other toys I have posted elsewhere, this is the one I'm most trying to justify just keeping.

Hello everyone , Im going to have to let go of some firearms. I went way over budget on my garage and need to start saving up some more money. Colt csr bought from a member here and put maybe 50 rds through it. larue tactical stock and grip. magpul backup sights sig Romeo 5 1 magpul 30rd mag $700 meet around opry mills mall . Sorry I will not answer pm from new members asking for my phone number. I would sell to a new member but you will provide your number first and provide a TN DL or carry permit. This is a very nice and clean factory rifle . I'm pretty heavy in the AR game so im having to make awful decisions on which ones can go. I just don't shoot several of them . Everybody has there favs right? Will be listing several more rifles and pistols later this evening.

That 226 is sexy!!! Gonna make me lose sleep tonight!! Beautiful!

No way I'm wasting perfectly good Hoppe's potpourri to clean a gun.

“Money” is nothing but a concept. A social contract between people in agreement that it has some value. In this day and age there is absolutely nothing to back up that value other than a theory in wide spread practice. For those worried about the man keeping track of your monies, well they already do. They can also seize or freeze it at anytime. Paying cash for everything ain’t gonna get around that.

I'll take them.

I recieved several texes from this group. I tried to be nice and wish them well. Asshats swamped me with donation requests. I sent them an emai stating they were trash, Do not reach out to me again. Might work?

I will take the EMP.. Please send me a text, 615-519-9200

The simple fact is that the vast majority of money in this world doesn't actually physically exist. Its nothing more than 1s & 0s in a computer somewhere. Think about that for a minute. One major computer crash could wipe out millions. My pension and SS are direct deposit. I wasn't given a choice. That's the only way I could get it. They quit mailing out monthly checks a long time ago. I don't make automatic payments for anything either. I'm old fashioned, I write and mail out checks to pay my bills each month. Crazy? Behind the times? Maybe. But nobody has access to my bank account but me and the bank itself. I prefer it that way. I have one credit card which is used primarily for internet purchases. I pay off the balance at the end of each month. I also pay cash for my purchases whenever possible. I stay in complete control of my money as much as is possible these days.

This appears to be a 1983 and its in pretty good shape for its age.

The Dorr brothers steal from gun-rights believers and from pro-life groups. They're vermin. Do a search for their names and you'll be disgusted. Whisper

In general shotguns are not drop safe. There is no sear block. That is why they are carried in car or stored cruiser ready.

This group is run by the Dorr brothers - who don't care about anything but grifting from gun owners.

I've mentioned before how a touch of arthritis in my right hand makes it difficult for me to shoot the traditional Colt/Ruger style SA revolvers. Simply put, the shape of the plow handle grip causes the back of the trigger guard to beat the holy hell outta my middle finger knuckle. It only takes about one cylinder full to have me bleeding. So, in order to get my Cowboy fix, I've turned to other revolvers common in the old west. According to TV and movies, you'd think that every cowboy in the old west carried a Colt SAA. Not exactly true. The Colts were indeed quite popular, they weren't the only revolvers used by a long shot. For my needs, I've settled on the Remington Model 1875 and the Smith & Wesson Schofield both in .45 Colt caliber. You will note that the grip frame on both guns sits just a little bit further back on the frame that the traditional Colt style. This gives my poor knuckle just enough space to avoid damage. I might also mention that both of these guns originally came with 7-7.5" barrels. I have opted for the more modern 5-5.5" lengths as they just handle better for me. The Remington Model 1875 was their answer to the Colt SAA. Its really just their extremely successful Model 1858 Percussion Cap revolver fitted with a bored through cylinder. Its just a tad bit bigger, beefier and heaver than the Colt, but proved to be very popular in the old west. Many preferred its slightly more "heft". The Remington was known to be favored by Buffalo Bill Cody and outlaw Frank James among others. The big bore S&W break tops were also quite common in the old west. The Number 3 American in .44 S&W was very popular. Colonel George Schofield modified the latch mechanism to make it easier for mounted troops to unload and reload the revolver with one hand. The U.S. Army purchased around 8000 Schofield revolvers for their troops. S&W chambered the Army guns in .45 S&W Schofield caliber as the cylinder was just a bit too short for the standard .45 Colt cartridge. The two cartridges are identical except for length with the colt being just a tad bit longer. Little known fact: to simplify the supply chain, most ammo issued to troops was .45 S&W Schofield as it worked in either the Colt or S&W guns. Most modern reproductions, such as mine, have a slightly longer cylinder and are chambered in the more common .45 Colt caliber. Well, there you have it. Other revolvers popular in the old west. There are others as well such as some of the early DA revolvers. Show 'em if ya got 'em!

Here's an original Remington chambered in 38 rimfire. I've toyed with the idea of trying to adapt a 38 Special cylinder to it, but probably never will. Although it retains virtually no finish, it is tight as a new one. I think the ivory grips are a nice touch as well. They are yellowed from age, but remain undamaged.

Fact-checked by the same people who said Joe Biden was qualified to be president, had all his marbles, and didn't like to smell young girls' hair.

I think the most important thing that I can reiterate here is that I have no interest in selling TGO. I have been approached by other companies several times over the years. It's simply not something that I am interested in doing. TGO is a labor of love for me. It's not about money.

Not concerned. This group cannot pass new laws and Congress has shown they won't either. This is one of those feel good measures to show they are "doing something".

Keep it sharp and that sharpmaker will serve you fine. A good strop wouldn’t hurt.

I looked at one at SMKW, they are on sale. They guy said they were easy to sharpen,so I don’t know.

This forum is rife with threads of people getting stitches because their auto opened in their pocket. Heck, one of our group buys was endemic with them opening in pockets - and that particular knife was a hidden mechanism. There was a time when there was a real market need for autos. I was carrying an AFO on a search and rescue team when I got the first Spyderco Rescue any of us had seen. In a season we went from 100% autos to no autos. The conditions on the ground just changed. We have so many great options these days that fill the same space autos once dominated. If you want an auto by all means get an auto. For me, that means three things have to be present: 1. It has to have a manual safety 2. I need to have full control of the knife even with my thumb pushing the button. There should be no questions as to whether or not it’s going to jump out of my hand. 3. The locking mechanism is really important to me - this is often a weak point on autos. If there’s a question as to whether hard use is going to make that mechanism less reliable - that’s a no for me. 4. I guess I’ll add a fourth - it needs to come from a vendor who’s going to offer good warranty service.

I’ll take the under on this. And I say this as someone who loves Benchmade and has a bunch of them. The AFO set the standard for what a good auto should be - back when you had to have credentials to own one. They’re amazing - but you can get a great auto for a lot less money these days. I’d start with something less expensive with a lock. The kershaws are great. Notice a trend of how many folks have had autos fire in their pockets. Honestly, I guess I’m in a place in my life where I can carry about any knife I want - and have more than I’ll ever reasonably carry. My daily carry is one of a few Spyderco PM2s. They’re practically as fast as any auto out there - and one has yet to either open in my pocket or jump out of my hand.

I’ve got a few good knives, I’m no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but here’s my 2 cents worth. I’ve got 2 Protech auto knives, and I like them, but overall, I think you can achieve similar quality for less money. I’ve got a Benchmade Adamas with an 3.82 inch blade, and it is probably my favorite pocket knife. It’s built like a tank, and you could probably chop wood with it, LOL. It opened in my pocket once though, and I’m kinda leery of carrying now so it’s on my go bag. I’ve got a Gerber 06 auto with a safety, and this is my EDC now. Not too heavy, holds an edge and opens with a snap. I like it. I think it’s 3.8 blade length. I also have a little Kershaw Launch 4 auto with 1.9 inch blade, which is also my EDC. I have 3 Gerber sheath knives, in addition to the folder above, and I love them. So yes, if you can afford them, I think they’re worth the price, especially if you look on here for someone selling one. But having said that, I’ve carried knives ever since I was a little boy, and you don’t have to spend Benchmade money on a good knife

Protech is about the snappiest of all my switch blades except for my Gavin Hawk mod C OTF(but that one was around $1800 to have it built) I've had some Benchmade Out The Side Aoutos they were okay, I bought a Medford Smooth Criminal Out The Side but I wasn't really impressed by it, but every Protech Switch Blade has realy impressed me with how they open. I bought a couple of the TGO mod. that one of the members here would do every so often but not lately. I bought one of the TR4 w/4" blade and if your not careful or paying attention it will just about pop out of your hand when you open it and it's probably 5yrs old or a little more and I've carried that one almost daily and the spring and action are just like new still. The only other Aouto that snapped out fast and hard was my MicroTech Halo V OTF, but someone wanted it more than I did and helped their self to it one day at work, it was in my lunch box, git home and was cleaning it out and it was gone.

My absolute favorite is my Staccato C2. My absolute favorite to carry is still my Glock 19.
