  1. I quit wearing watches a couple of decades ago. About three years ago, I started having an hankering for one again. We do a lot of antique and thrift store shopping for my wife's craft business. We happened to be in Bargain Hunters over on Chapman Hwy, not long after and I spotted an Armitron Sport watch that was gray and orange (Great UT colors) for $10. I bought it and have been wearing ever since. No clue how old it is, but after three years, I still haven't replaced the battery!!! I consider it to be a fantastic buy!!!

    AR15-A2

    New old school! I love it. Actually, would not mind at all to add an A2 and even an A1 to my collection. During Desert Storm. I deployed with a what I'd call a hybrid. It was an A1 with the round A2 handguards and A2 heavy barrel, but with an A1 receiver. When we deployed through Ft. Bragg, they took all our old A1s and repaired and upgraded them. Amazingly enough, they did that in a matter of two or three weeks. I thought that was phenomenal feat considering we were a battalion of 760 personnel!
  3. I cannot believe this pistol is still here!!! That's a great deal!!!
  4. Fortunately, .380 seems to be available again and also seems to be coming down in price. Hopefully that trend will continue!
  5. The Max-9, with the CT1550, has more than met my expectations, hence it is pretty much my only daily carry now. But every company produces lemons from time to time. Of late, it seems like most companies are have QC issues, even the big name gun manufacturers.
  6. Yes. It's a place for buying and selling online.
  7. I bet I saw that on Gun Owners Club. Had it been closer, I would have attempted a trade. It's a nice looking rifle! Congrats!

    RIA 5.0 9MM

    2.47 pounds... That'd be like carrying a boat anchor around, compared to most 9mm models on the market now-a-days. Even the new M&P Metal 2.0 is only 29oz. Might be fun at the range, but that's an expensive range gun.
  9. You do have to set up a YouTube or Google Account.
  10. Enjoyed his video and actually subscribed to his YouTube channel! He's got some good stuff there.
  11. I have always wanted a Charter Arms Bulldog.44spl, but my daily carry is a Ruger Max-9. with the CT1550 RDS. It's just more practical and unless you reload, the .44spl is expensive to run. But one of these days one of these is going to be mine! And who knows, I might even carry it sometimes! Model # 34431 | Charter Arms (charterfirearms.com)
  12. We are a good ten years OR MORE away from these cars and trucks being practical in this country.
  13. What happened with TVA was they had unscheduled outages at two coal fired plants (old technology) and one gas turbine plant (new technology). I think that I also heard one solar plant had issues too (but I'm not sure of that). When those three plants went offline, then the whole system was on the verge of becoming unstable, hence the rolling blackouts. The two coal fired plants were Bull Run and Cumberland. I'm not sure where the gas plant was. Bull Run has had issues for some time now and is only used on part time basis. It is scheduled to be shut down in 2025. After that, I believe Kingston or Cumberland may be next. Regardless, TVA is going out of the coal business by 2035. They are working hard to bring online more gas plants and solar farms. Right now they were working on expanding the gas turbines at Johnsonville. And more large solar farms are also coming online in the next several years. I think we just had the perfect storm. I also think TVA will learn from this and rethink some of their long-term plans for power generation,
  14. Tristan is the third son this family has lost in the last four years. I’ll be honest with you all, I’d rather seen this piece of trash walk out with the ammunition and bungee cords he stole, rather than this young man be shot and killed over such trivial stuff. Tristan’s life wasn’t worth the price of that stuff. Law and order be damned.
  15. That's about 5 to 7 minutes from the house. Probably a tweaker. RR in Halls, has gotten kind of sketchy of late.
  16. I think KCSO in Knox County is allowing officers to carry them as an option. I saw at least one from bodycam footage KCSO released of the 2020 Downtown Knoxville I-40 shootout. See around the 2:40 mark. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?&q=shootout+on+i-40+in+knoxville&view=detail&mid=2F8385FB2FD720C913802F8385FB2FD720C91380&FORM=VIRE&rvsmid=5B060B2023AA44E19CF05B060B2023AA44E19CF0&ajaxhist=0&form=VDQVAP
  17. Does it come with a magazine?

    Spare Ammo

    I usually carry at least one spare mag. Some times two. Regardless, I always have a reload.
  19. Those 67s are great rifles. Learned to shoot with one and still have it.
  20. Well, the rotation changed since I got my Max 9. It's down to two pistols now, the Max 9 and the LCP Max, but with those two, I still have a hammer and a striker in the rotation. Honestly with these two pistols, the trigger feels about the same.
  21. Without better pics, I’d pass.
  22. I'm so glad you are on the other end of the state!!! GLWS!!!

    Ruger LCP Max 9

    Mine is on my hip now!
