  1. When did TGO upgrade to 3D?!?!
  2. Don't get me wrong, my first handgun was a Springfield 1911 Mil-Spec. I would buy: G17 G19 G26 All for roughly $1500. Guess I am that guy now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3.   So you are saying that the primer ignited with enough power to push the bullet into the barrel, but not enough power to ignite the powder? Are you 100% sure that the powder didn't get wet?
  4. I asked the guy this:     He answered:  
  5. So you get what you pay for. You too both agree that it is 99% likely to be a grey-market camera? Guess I should stick to authorized sources.
  6. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canon-EOS-6D-Digital-Camera-with-Canon-24-105mm-f-4-0L-IS-USM-AF-Lens-NEW-/290858311072?pt=Digital_Cameras&hash=item43b8819da0   So on Ebay there is that "deal". Keep in mind that is an "L" series lense worth close to $1000. Now, I suspect this camera is "grey market", which may or may not make a difference to me at all.   In the description:   Manufacturer Warranty: Yes   This item is 100% Brand New!. In Some cases the Canon EOS 6D Could not come with a Warranty card, Or if there is a situation with Canon honoring the warranty, Best Stop Deals will offer 1 Year store warranty from the time of purchase. Covering the same coverage as if it was Canons warranty.   So that makes me suspect grey market. Right now I have a T3i but have been desiring to step up to full frame. If I got the camera, I'd have to get rid of my 55-250mm IS II lens but that's no big deal.   So I figure I could sell the T3i w/ kit & 55-250mm lens for ~$700. I'm shooting a wedding in a few weeks and should come out around $400 from that. That leaves me around 799.99 for the "upgrade".   I want it so so so bad but I'm trying to talk myself out of in to it.
  7. Just watched this episode a few weeks ago. Such quality television! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. [quote name="prag" post="1156395" timestamp="1402165260"]It looks like Glock does manufacture 9x21 for those countries that allow civilian ownership of handguns, but not in "military calibers", such as Italy. I may be off the mark, but that is my understanding. [url="http://www.glockbooks.com/gun-digest-book-of-the-glock-review-patrick-sweeney-01.html"]http://www.glockbooks.com/gun-digest-book-of-the-glock-review-patrick-sweeney-01.html[/url][/quote] Makes sense. Prevent ownership of a military round 9x19 so fuel and allow the creation and ownership of a similar but slightly more powerful round. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Ok, so yesterday I shot exactly 50 more reloads. These would have been numbers 26-75. Every one of them worked flawlessly! I love my Glock even more and may love reloading as much as shooting. However, I want to ask some advice here.   I am using the Lee Perfect Powder Measure and also tried the Pro Autodisk with adjustable charging bar. Is it just something that you have to "get good at" or is there something wrong here? Both of the measures are completely unreliable. I mean +- 2-3 grains. Not .2-.3 grains, 2 to 3 entire grains. I feel like it is because 700-X is a flake powder. I'd really like to try a really good ball powder for 9mm.   Recommendations for this? I know finding stuff right now is tough but maybe I'll luck out.   I threw the stuff up for sale or trade here:   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/79278-29lbs-imr-700-x-trade-for-other-9mm-powder/?p=1156251   Sometimes the Pro Autodisk would measure about 3 or 4 loads consistently, but then it would drop down to a charge under a grain for a few charges. I have been tapping each powder measure this way and that at all different steps, I just think I dislike the flake powder.

  11. I love my Glock. Is it bad that my label is an odd magenta color? Hahaha. Sucks for them but this isn't bad done by Glock but rather bad done by stupid Glock employees. I got worried before I read the description. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. [quote name="craglawnmanor" post="1154520" timestamp="1401682899"] But, why the rail?? I just don't understand having an "accessory" rail for a pistol marketed as a "concealed carry" pistol. Maybe for a "nightstand" pistol (such as the XD9 I have with a light attached), but that's about it.[/quote] My concealed carry pistol is a Glock 19 and it rides with a SureFire X300 Ultra everywhere it goes.

  14. For the next 12 hours, GearHog has SlideFire Stock's for $268.99. That's a saving a bit, but they'd have to be under $100 for me to try one.
  15. I didn't hide it but bit I did lose it. I had a nice Jawbone Bluetooth headset. Ended up losing it and considered it lost for a few years. Ended up finding it eventually in a suit jacket that I wore to my cousins wedding the few years prior. Still worked but the battery would not stay charged long enough to actually use. Was such a good feeling though to put my hands in all the pockets and unexpectedly find it. WooHoo! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16.   Well it sorta made me think you might be on crack;)
  17. WooHoo!   Found a Gillette Flare Tip Super Speed (well, two of them) at an antique store. I paid ~$9 for both of them and gave one of them to a buddy. 1964 dated, it looks like this:   http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/Gillette_Flare_Tip_Super_Speed
  18.   That would be "you're" instead of "your".
  19. [quote name="MacGyver" post="1149506" timestamp="1400274346"]I'm going to have to give a safety razor a whirl. Though, if I'm being honest, while I HATE the cost of refills on my multi-bladed Gillette Fusion - I can run one for at least a month. I shave every morning, and I would wager that I've not changed a blade with less than 6 weeks on it in years. Maybe I have tough skin or a soft beard (I don't think either of these are true), but it takes me a good while to feel the need to change a blade. I don't know what I'd do if I felt like I had to change a Gillette blade every few shaves. I've never had suicidal thoughts, but thinking about the cost of that might push me towards the edge. I guess at the end of the day I'm just cheap.[/quote] Well it is hard to beat $0.10 to $.20 a blade. Use will depend upon factors of course but probably a week in many cases?

  20.       Well, I used roughly 100 pack of Feathers and always ran it at 10. If I took my time I would not cut myself, but the flipside is that it never produced quite the perfect shave. But it wasn't as scary or bloodthirsty as many people make it out to me.
  21. When my wife and I purchase a house someday what I would love to do is take some quality wood and make a "shelf" that has about 3/4" holes drilled all the way down it. Stain the wood to match the bathroom and then keep a set of my favorite razors on display out of the way. We will see someday what the Wife thinks about that idea... :shrug:
  22. By the way, here are my razors: (I know longer have the black handled tech)
  23. I've thought about getting either it or the Vision, but I've read that the head is so bulky it prevents getting under the nose well. My 39c Slant gets here today. I suppose I'll give it a try. Sorta excited about it and also sorta scared about it (mainly that I'll regret paying $50 for it when you can pick up nice vintage razors for $5 typically at the right shop).
  24. [quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1149454" timestamp="1400259327"]There are folks who swear that keeping a blade submerged in shallow container of various stuff between shaves prevents the minute rust that makes it dull more quickly. Usually mentioned: mineral oil, baby oil, olive oil, and alcohol. - OS[/quote] I thought that would work. My blade actually rusted in the highest proof alcohol I could find. I completely submerged it though so who knows? Would like to get some of that blue liquid barbers use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. [quote name="frankmako" post="1149386" timestamp="1400238138"]in today world it is best to shop around using the net before buy anything. money is hard to come by and my money tree in the backyard die last week.[/quote] That's too bad! Thankfully though a buddy of mine is a money tree supplier and I can get you another one on the cheap. I can get you one in seed form for under $500. A small sapling will generally run $899.
