  1. I got mine through Silencer Shop, but you pretty much have to have a local shop to facilitate the purchase. I happened to have a great local shop that works with Silencer Shop and it was relatively hassle free. Palmetto State is now selling suppressors and they advertise that they ship to your door, I'm unsure on how that works legally. I did an individual trust and the ATF typically completes those much more quickly.
  2. FYI KYgunco has them for $230 right now.
  3. When I first tried them I promised myself if I felt an urge to drink real beer after drinking NAs I would. I was never tempted.
  4. I could have written a lot of that myself. Looking at 8 years sober. It's not for everyone, but I really enjoy NA beers. They have come a long way since O'Douls was the standard. Athletic Brewing Co makes several good craft beers and they are available at most grocery stores, never had a bad one from them. I prefer Budweiser Zero as a "yard beer" and they really hit the spot for that hot afternoon beer. I was hesitant when I first tried them that I would slip back to real beer, but I've been drinking them for about 7 years now without issue. Also, I'll have one or maybe 2 NAs in a given evening, and not every evening. As opposed to the 8-30 beers per night I was consuming before I quit. There are NA whiskeys out there. I've tried 2 of them (can't remember the name of either) they were both pretty unenjoyable, one moreso than the other.
  5. It's awesome, it's also quite pricey.
  6. It's been years since I shot there but used to you had to "qualify" at 100 to shoot on the 200. I can't remember the requirements but it wasn't anything crazy. Basically just a requirement to keep the same people off the 200 yard range that were destroying the roof on the pistol range. Another question on that range, do they still not let anyone use the skeet range? To my knowledge it's never been used, it at least publicly available. I have a group of guys that would wear it out.
  7. Late to the party. I have the exact setup that the OP asked about. I've carried it a lot in the 7-8 years that I've had it. I bought it because I got a stupid good deal on it. And it just happened to have a CT laser on it. I find it mostly useless. Personally, I fail to hit target most of the time if I'm using the laser. I'll put it this way. If I had to replace the gun, the replacement having the CT laser would have zero bearing on the purchase for me.
  8. Saturday bump, headed towards Crossville today. Willing to listen to offers.
  9. Bought this set a while back and decided to go a different direction. I never mounted them and don't know that they have ever been mounted. Fits a 12 ga, and includes stock bolt. No dents, dings, etc. I live in Lebanon and I'm in Franklin often. Also Monday and Tuesday next week I can meet in the vicinity of any of the highlighted roads on the map below.
  10. Posted in wrong forum
  11. Delete
  12. I would venture to guess that most of his clients have little concern over what time it is. That said, and I know that there are some good hearted lawyers out there, but the lawyers always get paid, which is part of the reason I have those same trust issues.
  13. I'll take it, sending PM
  14. I watch basically zero live TV but stumbled upon his Instagram account a while back, he's something.
  15. It's been years since I lived in the area but Citico/Tellico is one of my favorite places on Earth. Not sure it checks the box of not remote, but that's one of the things I like about it. If it helps, I'd call it remote, but you can drive right up too the creek in Citico as the road follows the creek. Depending on your exact location alive the creek you are no further than maybe 45 minutes from Madisonville or Tellico Plains. I see you are in Oak Ridge. I used to live there too. Although I prefer Tellico/Citico the Clinch River is nothing to turn your nose up at.
  16. Thanks for the info, I figured I'd pattern it with lead first to save on the TSS shells. Sounds like I may not need much adjustment.
  17. Been out of town all week. Picked up the shotgun from my FFL this afternoon and got my scope mounted up. Ordered a hammer extender, because I didn't think that one through. I'll get it patterned tomorrow and if I'm lucky I'll shoot some squirrels tomorrow or Sunday. Couple of questions @Henry347 1) I understand that the TSS will hit quite a bit lower than lead. A buddy of mine said about 2 feet lower at 40 yards, have you paid any attention to that? 2) What kind of effective range are you getting with the TSS? I'm assuming you are running the Extra Full choke?

    Revolvers

    I no longer carry revolvers, I can't justify it when I can carry an adequate semi that's dependable, holds more ammo, and carries well. That said, I have a 4" Taurus 44 mag that I hunt with that I have been very impressed with. Taurus had really upped their game in the past few years. Before the Taurus I picked up a 6" Dan Wesson .357, it's a lovely gun and a pleasure to shoot, but I quickly found that I don't care for 6" guns when carrying them all day, especially over rough terrain and thick brush. I keep it because it's an excellent shooter, and maybe I'll deer hunt with it some day just because I can. Have I couple of others that are nothing more than range toys, but when it comes down to it, of the half dozen revolvers I own only one really gets used. I would probably own more, for no other reason than I like them, had the prices for a good revolver not gone through the roof the past few years.
  19. Grabbed this Tru Glo off of Amazon this morning. Several people reported using it on a 12ga, so it should be fine on a .410.
  20. Browning 3" 13/16 9 shot. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for the gun, It should be able to pick it up on Thursday. I came with a cheaper red dot, I'm completing putting something nicer on it.
  21. I'll take the Stoeger, pm inbound
  22. Here you go. I haven't heard of the cigarette guns before. Sounds like those guns would have been made for the GIs directly and not issued as German service pistols. My wife's grandfather, as the story goes, captured this pistol and the rifle from the German soldier who attempted to use it on him.
  23. I've played with AI a bit and I'm actually starting to find it useful as opposed to a gimmick. Amazingly, just a couple of months ago I asked AI to write a program for work. It spit out a very generic program that would have required a lot of tweaking to be useful. I asked the same of it yesterday and what it produced would really only need vital things like the company name added. The technology is developing so fast that just two months ago it was rather useless, while I could complete what would normally be 4 hours of work in 20 minutes today. For those who use Excel, I used Chat GPT today to modify a very robust formula. The formula in question recognized and performed a function with the character "x", I needed it to perform the same function for "o" as it did for "x". Although it seems that would be simple to modify manually, it was not. I entered the formula into Chat GPT. Chat GPT accurately told me what the formula would do, then I simply instructed it to "modify the formula so that "o" yields the same result as "x". It took all of 3 seconds to return a formula that worked. I would have likely spent most of my workday tomorrow trying (probably unsuccessfully) to modify that formula. AI is quickly becoming part of my arsenal that I use to be more efficient and portray the illusion that I'm intelligent. Don't be scared of this stuff. I can certainly see how it could potentially be harmful. But it doesn't have to be. Use it for good and make your life easier.
  24. Yes. Being a late war production I'm lead to believe this is the case. Also the finish is consistent everywhere on the pistol. I though that if someone had attempted to strip it they wouldn't have given that much attention to the hard to get to spots. Really glad I didn't decide to go ahead and refinish.
  25. Taking the plunge. Picked up a 301 with red dot for $242 shipped. 10 rounds of TSS at $50 stung a bit though.
