Use to train retrievers for field trials for over 20 years, plus helped others do the same. Also friends with problem pets sought my help with some isolated problems. Long story short, electronic collars are a super training tool. First one has to teach the dog what you want and reinforce it with the collar. If you get the 'Thor' syndrome it can be harmful to the dog. Remember this, a little shock is nothing compared to getting crushed by a car.

As others have said reloading is an enjoyable hobby. However you have to be very precise in your reloading otherwise it can be dangerous to your firearms or yourself. If you can find some local reloaders that will be your fastest way to get started. There are no shortcuts.

last renewal 4 yrs ago required a new pic. This time nothing but $$ required. Turnaround 10 days.

As far as platform with versatility, Glock, M&P, and Springfield. Any size for any occasion. There are a lot of good guns out there; something for everyone. But my favorite is the M&P because the basic concept is similar from the Shield to the 5" models and in all the calibers with limited exception.

Dies can be custom made. I want to see your revolver and the holster rig picture....

Trulock or Carlson’s can provide you with aftermarket tubes,

As Oh Shoot said from press briefing that just concluded. Like all similar situations, best wait for things to shake out to get closer to the truth. One thing is that intense hate permeates our society. Hollywood, movies, video games all capitalize on it. Divisiveness of out society, combined with broken families, Godlessness all lead us to our increasingly dangerous world.

Legal Defense Providers (sort of new topic).
chances R replied to a topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I have attended Andrew Branca's seminar and a couple of other hour long seminars by local attorneys for firearm self-defense. Plus just about every firearm instructional class I have attended this topic is addressed to varying degrees. As a state instructor I try and learn as much as possible about this subject. Branca seems to be held in high regard and is an attorney's attorney. He does not take on private cases as a lead attorney. He is a paid consultant. He has worked with the Sig academy. Spoken at NRA functions. Helped with the founding of IDPA. Massad wrote the introduction to his book, The Law of Self Defense. He appears on numerous forums and shows. That said, a recent podcast of his mentioned several of the products. In brief, CCW Safe, Armed Citizens Legal Defense Network, and USCCA were spoken of favorably. The NRA CarryGuard, not so much as it is a reimbursement program. Trial lawyers require their money up front. Without adequate up-front funding one's defense may suffer significantly. -
Appreciate the write-up....nice pics, good-lookin' rig.

I have been very pleased with a Versa Carry for my Shield for a number of years. Similar size pistol. Might want to give it a try for $20 hard to beat.

tried the 320, basic gun better in some respects such as trigger and inherent accuracy, but prefer my M&Ps. Apexed out there is no comparison, much prefer the M&P for ergonomics. My impression is the MP is more reliable, and I think abusive tests I have seen bear that out.

Mine cycle every time in 9mm. No damage expected. Never heard of it in a judge have you ?

Ain't nothing like 'dog people'. Sorry for your loss. It is a deep pain, but having gone through it several times you are doing the right thing. PM me your address, I am willing to help.

I used an old piece of I-beam to elevate mine.

Can local gov ban carry in parks?
chances R replied to TheFeller's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
As always, 99.9% of the time, Oh Shoot is correct. The problem is an overzealous LEO may not know that and pops you. Looking at the defense of a felony. So better safe than sorry; if school is there and you know it, better off leaving. -
Can local gov ban carry in parks?
chances R replied to TheFeller's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
Short answer, if the park is being used for an official school event one is not allowed to carry during those times of the event. Additionally, if all public entrances to a park are manned by security/police and a metal detector is used AND all bags are inspected, and posted one cannot carry. As a general rule, in TN, you can carry in public parks. -
The Official Range Photo Thread (Prove That You Shoot)

Squib as OS said, as well as your round pictured showing set-back. Both potentially dangerous to gun, shooter, and bystanders. Either could be manufacturing problems or acquired, whether factory or reloads. Always a good idea to pay attention to what you put in your gun and how you store and handle your ammo.

Sort of like using a ,22 for SD, doable but better options. One can buy a single shot 12ga for the same $ and be better equipped. Also why risk wounding/wasting such a great bird being undergunned?
-
Had a STI 2011, good gun, lots of competition shooters swear by them in 9mm. Doubt you will shoot them any better than your 320 though. I boils down to if you simply like them or not and want one bad enough to take the plunge. But don't expect it to be magical.

Sweet baby Jesus, no... this can't be real. This has to be trolling.

States Recognizing TN Permits (Reciprocity) With Links
chances R replied to JohnC's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
True, unless all other states follow their lead. Two chances, slim and none. -

Just hate to see Vermont grouped with the otherwise communist northeast states...when they set such a good example for others
