    Slowly??? you should just delete those underline words. Makes the statement more accurate!
  2. Love mine! It was what I learned to shoot with 56 years ago.
  3. Odd source for this type of article on Tennessee Gun Owners. It's from Rolling Stone magazine. Seems funding for the NRA as been slipping and rather than get rid of WLP and his crew of misfits, they are cutting funding for shooting education. Imagine that. The NRA was a great organization, until the crooks took it over. And I don't see it ever coming back to preeminence until WLP and his cronies are gone. Of course, as long as there's enough cash coming in to support their lifestyles, that's not going to happen. I'd copy and paste the article here, but I'm afraid the graphics might not come over. So here's the link. Go read it for yourselves. The NRA Is Cannibalizing Itself (msn.com)

    A Thank You to my Brothers and Sisters in Green and Blue, for your service! Desert Storm Vet and career Army Reservist here!
  5. Seems a bit vague. Not sure I like it.
  6. Waiting to swoop in at the last minute to take credit for any success that we enjoy. Otherwise, they are sitting around counting their money like the Mafia.
  7. All a Gunsmith is going to do is put the slide in a vise and drift it back to center using a brass punch and a mallet. You could do that and save a chunk of change. Also, if it shoots to point of aim with the rear sight where it is, moving the rear sight is unnecessary and will make the pistol less enjoyable.
  8. Old school S&W revolver in .38spl.
  9. I wore my Liberty Bibs Saturday, while helping my wife with her craft show. I love Bibs with deep pockets! Carried my Ruger Max9 with RDS in my strongside pocket (in a Sticky holster) and two spare mags in a DeSantis double mag holster in my weakside pocket. Everything else went into my two chest pockets, including a large lock blade knife, a Swiss Army knife Farmer, ChapStick, and my keys. The back pockets held my wallet and smartphone. And it was extremely loose and comfortable! Listen to that old codger @leroy! He know of what he speaks!!!
  10. I've enjoyed mine. It's combat accurate, just like all the 1911A1s I shot in the Army, except for a National Match that I was issued when I was on the ARCOM Marksmanship Team. That was a joy! The one con I found with mine was that the magazine was trash. Fortunately I happened have seveal GI Issue mags that worked just fine in it.
  11. So now what do we do?
  12. Sure am glad we are back up and running! Thank you David for being on top of it! One of the best run pages on the web!
  13. Not a fan of Tandems... I took my wife out her first time in a Tandem and almost whacked her in the back of the head, a number of times. Two singles is much safer!!!
  14. Looks like Gov. Lee’s proposed Gun Bill is off the table, AT THIS TIME. But be wary. We all know how backroom deals are made. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/top-republican-says-lee-s-gun-plan-won-t-be-debated/ar-AA1f8JFu?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=b46e1931e8444a2a8cbc4be3714d42b3&ei=18
  15. Small???
  16. Good God, could that optic look any clunkier. I could see it on a duty weapon or competition pistol, but not for a concealed carry weapon. The whole package just looks big and clunky. The WL doesn't help.
  17. Beautiful pistol!!!
  18. If only it were a .32ACP! GLWS!
  19. Personally, I no longer feel comfortable in Asheville. I’ve found the people are as rude as any around. Mostly younger know it alls that don’t like older folks and ideas. COVID pretty much ruined that city. Boone is a much friendlier town and the home of Mast General Store. Plenty of things to see and do in the East Tennessee/Western North Carolina, especially if you love to camp and hike.
  20. My wife and I saw it this afternoon. Very powerful message. The left is really going after this movie. Honestly, after watching, I don't understand why. There was no political message. Nothing against the Left or the Right. It does make a powerful point about child sex trafficking. At the end it posts some sobering facts about how there are more people that are slaves now, than at any other point in human history and that it is estimated that millions are children. How any mainstream political group could be against this, is beyond my comprehension. I agree with @NoBanStan, that here was no Qanan vide to this movie. I do urge everyone to go see it!!!
  21. These look great Greg! Several years ago, I bought a handcrafted wallet. It's the most durable wallet I've ever owned. Honestly cannot tell that I carry it every day! And it's stuffed full of everything but photos and cash!!! Handcrafted the right way, wallets like these will far outlast commercially made wallets!!! Even those made by Maxpedition!!!

    @Scottythe mags do tend to feel flimsy, but they're not under that much strain. You can easily hold the mag back with your thumb, unlike a lot of other mags that have a thumb stud on them (thinking Ruger MK pistols). Thanks for the link! I think I will pick up one of these for testing purposes. You're right @pop pop, these are full sized pistols, but I can conceal one with some of the holsters I have for other 9mm service sized pistols. I think they are about the same size as a Glock 19, but lighter. For carry by someone that can't really pull back the slide on a centerfire pistol, or handle the recoil, I would think the new compact model, might be ideal. @Jamie JacksonI'm jealous! I had intended to go to the range today and shoot my new Roscoe (S&W Mdl 10) after I mowed! But I am pooped. Push mowing a steeply sloped yard at 60, is not for the faint of heart!!! As for carry, I typically EDC a Ruger Max9 with a CT1550 RDS or a LCP Max. The Max is seeing a lot of carry during the summer! I am thinking seriously about starting to carry a fanny pack so I can get away with carrying the Max9 more often. Being an old man now, I don't really care how it looks. Who am I trying to impress!

    New Tool/Toy

    I've not tried these, but would be interested in trying. Do you have a link? I didn't see them on the Taurus site. @Jamie Jackson glad you liked it! With careful loading, I've not experienced the issue with 45 degree angle. Honestly, I could see this pistol being a great one for disabled people. The slide is easy to manipulate, and it has plenty of capacity and it's lightweight. It is a .22 and some have issues with that, but I bet there are more .22s carried than any other caliber, if truth be known.
  24. I was reading an article this morning about stopping Mass Shooters, that was first reported in USAToday. In it, the article states that there was an "armed presence" at the school. I thought the reason that Covenant was chosen by the shooter, was because there was no armed security at the school. @Snaveba could you shed some light on this? He spent a career helping others after shootings. This is what he thinks will stop them. (msn.com)

    I'm with both of you gentlemen! I completely stopped shooting my Ruger MKII Target pistol and gave it to my dad. The TX-22 is a whole lot more fun and just as accurate. And so far, mine has not been finicky at all. Love Federal Punch, which I've seen other have an issue with.
