I'd call Phil, over at Bellshires Hardware. He's on Dickerson Road, and always charges me $20 for transfer.

Are you doing all this with the magazine still in the gun?

Yep, that's fairly common. Although it's never happened to me, I see it being talked about over at XDTalk fairly often. No need for a smith.

Happy Birthday! Congrats on the new toy. Enjoy!

I've had 2 P-Series Rugers, and I regret ever selling them. I fired thousands and thousands of rounds with both of them, and I never had a single issue. They are built like tanks. If you have the extra money, and want one for plinking, buy it. Just make sure you're getting a fair deal. Don't pay $400 for a gun that's been beat to hell.

What do you plan on using it for?

Personally, I wouldn't offer more than $400 (at the very most). And the only reason I'd go that high, is because of the 6 mags. Those will add a few extra bucks. This is all depending on condition, of course.

I'd say that you'll be better off buying a new/newer one. Keep an eye on Craigslist. I got a 3 month old set of Heavy Duty Whirlpools for $325 off there, and they are still kickin strong.

Congrats on the new toy, and welcome to TGO. As far as a place to shoot near Memphis, someone who lives in that area will chime in shortly. Enjoy your stay! Check here. There may be a listing for your area. http://www.tngunowners.com/dynamics/browsecategory.php?c=4

I've used a Dremel for polishing the black barrel on my XD. It now has a stainless finish. It would have been much easier with a full size polishing wheel, but it did a decent job. I used Jewelers Rouge with the Dremel. Oh yea, those little polishing wheels for the Dremel don't last long. Better make sure you have plenty.

I'm sure you're not the only one. That's probably why they make it that way. Either way, it's a very nice gun.

That is very nice. I'm just not sure I like the solid trigger. Wish they would have done a little something with it.

Yep. It's been that way for the bestter part of the day for me.

I just thought if I ran the Twinkies and Ho Ho's through the juicer, they would digest better.

Thank You, BigPoppa! Right back at ya! Happy New Year to all!

You're absolutely correct. Being the damn yankee from Chicago that I am, this vernacular is one of the greatest, ever. It seems to finally be working it's way south of the Mason-Dixon Line. Although I've heard it being used here and there, since moving to Nashville 13-14 years ago, it's yet reached it's full potential.

Same thing here. Not that I'm expecting it to be some magic fix, but I'm buying me one of those Jack Lalanne Juicers. I know two people who have incorporated one of these juicers into their diet plan, and it's worked very well. Anyone use one of these? What are your thoughts?

You're asking these questions to a bunch of southerners. Do you really want the answers to those questions? I kid, I kid!

I clean mine every time I shoot. This is true, even if I shoot only 1 round. Not that I shoot only one round very often, but in the event I do, it get's cleaned. Waiting until the next day is not generally an option for me. If something were to come up that was more important than cleaning my guns, at the very least, I'll soak it down with some CLP for a next day cleaning. That's VERY rare.

I can't tell you how many people I've talked to who think it's against the law to own a full-auto weapon, then there are those who think it's perfectly legal to turn your semi-auto into a full-auto. Hell, my daughters aunt, (my ex's side of the family) saw my AR while my daughter was showing her our house. The next day I get a call from that side of the family wanting to know why I have an illegal machine gun in the house. Yes, I know this has nothing to do with ammo, but kinda fits the topic.

Welcome to TGO. Enjoy your stay.

I haven't, but it's going to be a "must see" for me. I'm always intrigued by anything to do with Hitler. I've seen a few trailers, and I still can't come to terms with Tom Cruise playin the part, but I'll do my best to overlook that aspect of this film.

No, but its far enough away that he'd never make back before the party was over.
