Did the member ever respond to your apology?

I think Guns and Leather does. Pretty sure I remember someone saying they bought a couple blue label Glocks from there.

My 40th birthday is tomorrow. If 220 of you were to donate just one dollar, I could have myself a wonderful birthday present. [emoji6]

I'm thankful for my Dumb Screen. No warnings here.

Sounds like a few TGO Meet-N-Shoots need to be scheduled for Upgrade Day.

I just broke the clip and ripped the screws right out of my ZT 0350, so this may be perfect timing.

Good to hear the surgery went well. Kick back and take it easy.

Does the ORCA now come in a 30oz version?

I like it.

You'll be in our thoughts, Gordon. No grill kicking for at least a month.

In the event you aren't aware, not all film is created equal. There's tint for those who just want darker windows, then there's film that offers heat rejection, blocks more UV rays, never turns purple, etc. When you call around, don't be surprised if most quote you a price for their least expensive film, just to get you in the door.  If cost is an issue, decide which level of film you want, then get quotes. 

Just wanted to post a quick follow-up. After talking with Adam, the customer service guy at TulAmmo, I decided to take another trip to the range and document all of the FTF's and FTE's.  After sorting through all 1300 rounds (not 1200, as I first thought), I have what appears to be 8 or 9 different lot numbers. I had 8 boxes left (we shot two boxes) of one of the lots numbers from the first trip to the range, and none (we shot the only box) of the other lot number.  For the second range trip, we took two boxes of one of the same lot numbers as the first trip, and one other random box because we didn't have any more of the second lot number.  We shot the ammo through the same Glocks and magazines as the first trip, and also included a M&P 9 Shield with two magazines.  In the end, it turned out to be a complete waste of time and ammo, as we could not replicate the first range trip. There wasn't a single malfunction.  :shrug:  The only difference between the first and second range trips was the fact that we didn't have anymore of one of the lot numbers. We shot the only 50-round box during the first trip. I was pretty confident that the FTF/FTE rate was between 50%-75%, but it's beginning to look like it could have been slightly less. I really hope it was just one problematic box.  

I was in a gun shop the other day, and they pulled this out. I'm not sure of the details behind it.

I just received my first TGO email in what seems like a couple days.

On a somewhat related note, while renewing my Class A CDL and HAZMAT endorsement today, I found out that TN DL's are now good for 8 years, rather than the standard 5. This makes me happy. 

This seems to business as usual in the Internet age. I do a whole lot of banking, shopping, bill paying, ect. online, and I've received free one or two year credit monitoring from 3 or 4 companies that have had their systems compromised. I was pretty upset with the first two, but now I almost don't care. Hackers will always be one or ten steps ahead, and that's a fact I've come to accept.

Yep, I'm no longer receiving emails. Gmail/Xfinity. 

Figures. I just renewed mine.

I just got off the phone with Brad (?) at TulAmmo. He suggested I go through and separate lot numbers, then take another trip to the range to see if I can narrow it down. I'll try to do just that within the coming days.

Still waiting to hear from TulAmmo. One is clearly different from the other two.

I picked up 1200 rounds of 9mm Perfecta in 50-round boxes, and it was anything but perfecta. I grabbed four random boxes and took 'em to the range with a Gen 4 G19 and G26. Both guns are stock, including the magazines. Both were used by multiple shooters. Both experienced multiple FTF's and FTE's. I didn't keep count, but I'm confident the failure rate was between 50% - 75%. I was too annoyed after 150 rounds, so we didn't try the last box. There were zero malfunctions when using CorBon DPX ammunition. I also took 200 rounds of .308 Perfecta, and it ran flawlessly in a PTR 91. Anyway, I've got a call into TulAmmo, who I believe is the distributor for Perfecta, and also handles their customer service issues. This is my first real negative ammo experience, so I'm not sure how they are usually handled. If I had a box or two left, I probably wouldn't waste my time complaining. But over 1000 rounds is complaint-worthy in my book.

Man, I'm sorry to hear of this outcome. You and your family will be in our thoughts. If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to ask.

I use a Gmail account and have Comcast/Xfinity. I've had no issues receiving emails from forums/threads I've subscribed to. I can't recall receiving emails for anything else in quite some time.
