I am only aware of two gunstores in this area - Toliver's in Manchester and Outpost Armory near Murfreesboro. Are there others in middle to SE Tn? Looking for one with assortment of hand and long guns,ammo, reloading supplies.

I have both the Glock 26 and the PM9. I like them both but the PM9 is my pocket carry, sweet trigger, accurate and reliable.

I finally found a used G33 on Gun Broker at a some-what reasonal price, if it weren't for shipping. My FFl should receive next week. The G33 has dual springs, how do you replace springs on recoil rod? The rod does not appear to come apart on my G26. On by G36, I order dual springs contained on ss guide rod at 19#, 2# heavier than standard. This helped recoil on the G36.

I will have to try one of the Knoxville Expo shows but a 2.5 hr drive one way. I have been to many Birmingham shows when I lived in Alabama, great shows. I will stick to TN shows, just incase I find a handgun I cann't live without.

Enjoy your new Gen4 G19. You picked one of the best Glocks on the market. I have a G21 in Gen 4 and my G36 and G26 are Gen3. They are like potato chips, can't just have one. I have a G33 Gen3 on the way.

Group size was much better after VQ trigger and Mark II hammer bushing. I shot three different brands of ammo: CCI Mini-Mag average score 92.5, PMC Scoremaster average score 91.5, and Remington Thunderbolt average score 89.0. On standard 25 yd target at 12 yards, all 40 grain bullets. Might install my red-dot optics to see if I can get more 10's, but I hate to add more weight.

Marlin 45-70.

I found Viola range but never shot there. I have a 25 yd and 100 yd range cleared on my back 5 acres. So I can shoot so long as weather is good. Thanks for the trigger advice.

I installed VQ trigger, removed magazine disconnector, spring and Mark III hammer bushing and installed Mark II hammer bushing.I lost safety detent for a while. I crawed around on floor and finally found it. Put gun back together and adjusted overtravel screw and trigger screw, then used blue loctite on threads. Trigger feels alot better. I will put some ammo thru it tomorrow and see if bullet impact group tightens up. thanks TGO for help

New VQ trigger and Mark II hammer bushing to be delivered 3/5. Do I have to disassemble Hammer, sear and trigger groups to install, or can I just remove hammer pin part way, remove Magazine disconnector and spring, raise disconnector, then remove trigger group, install new trigger, lower disconnector, install Mark II hammer bushing, then install trigger pin and hammer pin? It looks like just pulling hammer pivot pin and trigger pivot pins part way out that this can be done. comments

I have had both PM9's and a PM40 and all were flawless, no malfunctions. Accuracy, trigger pull, and weight/slimness are better than a Glock. I own three Glocks and like them too. My experience with Kahrs has been excellant.

I have ordered the Volquartsen trigger from Brownell's and have their tech disassembly and assembly instructions. I will leave in magazine disconnect and try new trigger. thanks TGO

If you remove magazine disconnector parts(3) , I assume you will need a metal sleeve spacer to fill the space for hammer bushing? I might look into Volquartsen trigger and return spring with holes predrilled, are the set screws included?

The first shot from a fresh magazine, the trigger has alot of slack to take up. After the first shot the slack is gone. Does this have anything to do with magazine disconnect in the Mark III? I don't remember this occurring in previous Mark II's. How can magazine disconnect be removed? thanks

All my glocks have the 3.5# connector and a NY+1 spring. Gives it a better trigger feel. I have not tried the fulcrum trigger, for I don't know what advantage it has. On by carry subcompacts I have added night sights and ss dual guide rod with heavier springs. I leave the rest as stocked.

The Kahr CW40 or PM40 would be the smallest light-weight in a reliable handgun. I carried the PM40 but changed to PM9 due to recoil in extented shooting.

I shot 150 rounds, no mis-feeds, etc. Grouped very good with three different brands of ammo: Winchester standard, Remington cheap , & CCI Mini-mag. CCI grouped the tightest. I then tool it apart to clean. I thought the Mark II was bad, the Mark III is a pain. I finally reread instructions for the forth time and inserted the magazine so the hammer would move full vertical, then it went back together. I hope it is easier the next disassembly and assembly. I assume the magazine disconnect feacture was the problem. How often do you clean you clean after shooting? I am ex-military and I clean each time. I heard that it was not good for the 22 bore, is that true?

Thanks to eveyone for your comments. I looked for a used Ruger Mark II or III at gun show in Lebanon and in local gunshops. None were available. So I bought a new Mark III with 5" bull barrel and adjustable sights. I will try it out this evening or tomorrow. Thanks again TGO

I want to get a new or used 22 caliber pistol with 4" to 6" barrel for target practice for me and grandkids? I have tried the SW A-22, it shot good but when disassembled appeared to be cheaply made. I like the Ruger MarK II and III. Which 22 have you had best results with? What would you recommend? thanks

A Ruger LCR in 38 spec or 357 would be a light weight revolver carry. A Kahr CW9 or PM9 would be a good carry in 9mm. I carry one of these most of the time. I also like the Glock 26 or G36 for a slightly bigger carry gun, these are IWB.

Is this a gunshow worth going to? I've been there once/twice and it seemed pretty small, maybe one big dealer - Ken's? Is anyone going?

Larry, I assume your gunshop is in Texas, not Tennessee?

What parts can be change to help reduce recoil? I assume recoil guide rod and dual springs, change how? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I really like the ballistics of the 357 Sig and its accuracy. I like the G33 size and would like to use as a carry gun. How can the recoil be reduced to a little more pleasant experience? SS recoil rod with heavier springs, or what? I have the Sig P239 but do not like the weight and magazine capacity. Your experience with the G33 would be appreciated. thanks

Junk to gun ratio was too high. I drove 1.5 hrs to get there. I won't do it again. I did sell a holster and glock recoil rod/spring. There was alot of people paying to get in.
