  1. Springfield Loaded - around $800 or $900. Spend the rest on ammo. I've been temped by Dan Wesson's but so far one hasn't made its way into my safe yet.

     

    It has everything I want in a decent 1911 without extra cost. I've owned more expensive Kimbers that I wouldn't trade my SA for. It doesn't compare to a high-end 1911 (but nothing does).

  2.  

    The official name of the TN division has been Department of Safety & Homeland Security for a couple of years or more now.
     
    And yes, that means various funding from and  integration with federal DHS.

    edit: great minds think alike, eh Bubba? :)

     

     

    Of course I agree :)   seems like I won the posting race this time!

  3. Full disclosure: I'm friends with Jeff and help him teaching HCP classes on occasion.

     

    That said, he's done work on a few guns for me over the years. I've got an AR he did a trigger job on, a Ruger Super Blackhawk with a MCC trigger job and a S&W J-frame he's worked the trigger on. He helped me with rehabbing a Colt Woodsman a few years ago. While I don't have a SP101 or a Judge, I've always been happy with his work.

  4. Less cost and less recoil are the advantages of 38.

     

    Recoil really depends on the wheelgun. In a S&W 28, it doesn't really matter. In my 360M&P (airweight, snubnose j-frame), the difference in recoil matters. 357 magnums are just not alot of fun in a lightweight revolver.

  5. I've always handed a Metro officer my HCP along with my driver's license. If they run the DL, they will know I have a HCP anyway. I'd rather put them at ease by being upfront about being armed. They have always treated me well.

     

    There are stories around about officers treating HCP holders like criminals. Stuff like disarming during a traffic stop (legal in TN, BTW), etc. That has not been my experience, which is why I started this thread.

  6. A nice Christmas Gift   :woohoo:

     

    Oh yeah! I was very happy. My wife now things a HCP is a magic "get out of ticket" card. 

     

    Even if he had written me the ticket, he was professional and polite. Officers get a hard time when experiences are bad - I figured people need to know that at least some of them are doing things right!

  7. So I got pulled over this morning for 58 in a 45. I handed the officer my license and HCP. He asked if I was armed and, if so, where it was. I told him I was and where the gun was. He didn't even blink. Ran my license and only gave me a warning. He was very professional the entire time and didn't freak out when he found out I was armed. It was a younger officer (my wife said he looked about 12  :pleased: ). 

     

    This Metro officer was very polite and professional the entire time. As good an experience as you can hope to have when getting pulled over for speeding!
