  1. Make sure you rent a pistol with a red dot sight so you can try them out first. I personally don't like them. But if I were to get one I'd go with a pistol milled out from the factory. I'd stay away from aftermarket milling places. Stick with Factory and you cant go wrong.
  2. The Ruger LCR revolvers are nice but they are way over priced. I had 2 and my brother had some. For what I see how they are made , I think they should be priced very lower than they are priced. They work great but the frame is plastic and the other parts are steel. To me it's still too high in price for what you get.
  3. Is there anyone here that has an IWI Jericho in polymer ? I have been on the fence about getting one for a year . I am familiar with IWI as I have a steel Jercho and a few CZ's in steel and polymer. The one thing that has held me back from buying one has been that every Jericho in polymer that I have handled did not accept a magazine and lock it in place without being slammed up hard. All my CZ's and my steel Jericho can accept a magazine with ease and doesn't require a "slam" . Like I said , 3 different ones that I have handled required a firm and forceful slam up into the magwell. Not just a firm push but a HARD SLAM. I suspect that there may be some tolerence issues or something during the molding process. Any Polymer Jericho owners here that can confirm this ?
  4. I tried Taurus one time,. Their simple no frills model 85. After one box it got out of time where the cylinder wasn't lining up with the barrel. The best revolver I ever had was the Ruger SP101. Always carried it hunting in case of 2 and 4 legged angry critters approached me.
  5. Now that is true and I forgot about the extra machining verses the polymer .
  6. I don't understand why revolver prices are as high if not higher than semi-autos . I am getting older and almost 50 but when I was younger revolvers were a lot cheaper than semi-autos. Just like diesel was to gasoline. From what I am seeing , the average price for a 38/357 snub nose is around $600. I don't know about you guys but that seems rather high. I'm talking regular , garden variety Ruger , S&W , and so on. Used prices are just as high. Am I missing something or is this normal ? A Ruger SP101 snub nose new is around $650 at a good well known shop I know. I just don't understand how a 5rd revolver is priced so high. I just checked and the SP101 new is MSRP $719. Holy Crap Batman !
  7. Pretty neat. Jeff lived 25 minutes from me and was an awesome dude. he always made neat reviews and videos on guns. If they were crap guns , he'd let you know. The serial numbers will have his initials and the grips will have his face in it with his famous beard. I thought I'd share this article. Enjoy. https://www.ammoland.com/2021/02/ruger-introduces-the-exclusive-jeff-quinn-memorial-gp100-revolver/#axzz6mkvDRup1
  8. Check this out : from left to right is Glock 17 Gen 5 , Beretta 92FS , CZ75 , and Ruger P89. See how beefier the others are compared to Glock ? I'm just a nerd with OCD but I think it's very interesting and wonder why Glock doesn't reinforce that area .
  9. The Beretta/Stoeger Cougar is just as thin as Glocks. I like the Cougar VERY much, but the ring at the end is very thin too. It's weird to me these slides are very thick and sturdy yet the one part that needs to be beefed up , that is responsible for the whole assembly to recoil forwards and backwards , is so thin and frail. Now like I said , I am one of he biggest Glock fans there is , I am just stating my opinion and some facts.
  10. I have always thought that the small extension of the slide that captures the guide rod and spring was Glock's weak spot. It's thin and fragile. I have seen them break and bend from accidental drops onto concrete floors and such. I was watching Hickok45 the other day and he was shooting a G18 and it's slide broke in the same location . Now they are strong but they are very thin compared to my CZ , S&W M&P , Beretta 92FS , S.A. XD9 and a few other are way more beefier and have more steel there in that area. Now the Glock 34,35,17L ,24 , and 48 are beefier in that spot , but the majority of the others are very thin in that area. Watch Hickok45 discover the broken slide at around 17:45 in this video. Now I know this 18 cycles very fast putting extra stress on that area but it still would be nice for Glock to make it as big as the other pistols I listed above. There is plenty of room in there for Glock to do so.

  13. Diamond Gussett jeans are very well built and comfortable. They are sold in Bon Aqua outside of Dickson at one of their outlets. All materials and labor are American.
  14. Yes call 911. I'd rather you call us over something like that then other people calling 911 over someone that mowed grass 1 inch over the property line.
  15. My brother-in-law lives 2 miles from Nashville airport. He does not exaggerate at all and he said that his apartment building shook and his pictures rattled on the walls. That has got to be a big a$$ explosion. Especially since he used to live near us in Montgomery county and we are used to feeling and hearing Ft. Campbell practicing with bombs all the time. We went to his apartment 4 hours after this and several state troopers , TDOT Help trucks and metro had the large interstate "loops" all blocked off. This is definitly some crazy mess.
  16. There's place in my town that are marking pistols $20 above MSRP. Almost all gun places usually are $75 or more below MSRP or at least they used to be before this mess happened. I saw a used Glock 17 gen 2 for sale the other day for $720.
  17. I feel exactly like Clint Eastwood above when I hear these young people talking. It is making me feel really old.
  18. you got me and my daughter laughing like crazy !
  19. Yes ! Do proper "paperwork" and you'll never have to do "follow up" paperwork again. In my line of work , it is funny !!!
  20. I couldn't resist asking that ! My wife thinks I waist toilet paper but we all know that one time when you have to wipe and wipe and wipe LOL .
  21. Oh lord, I could barely make it half way through the video.
  22. I hear that too ! Crazy stuff
  23. I watched someone talking about it and how terrible it sounds. He then said to listen on how it different it makes things sound and then he read the words to the Pledge Of Allegiance. It made it sound horrible by using Uptalk.
  24. Have you guys/gals noticed this ? It's called Uptalking. It mainly seems to be the younger generation doing it. For the last 2 years I have noticed people talking and how their sentences sound like questions. For example "The dog ran fast" . That is a regular sentence. These younger people will say the same sentence and when they get to the end of the sentence their voice will get higher and pronounce the last part in a higher tone of voice like you would a question. So it sounds like " The dog ran fast ? " . It's gotten to where I cant stand to hear people talk like that. It makes them sound unsure of themselves when they talk and also like everything they say is a question. Maybe I'm just getting older but hearing this style of speaking is like fingernails on a chalk board to me.
  25. How well do they work when you got a bad case of "mudd butt" ?
