That's not crazy. That's what I like to call planning ahead!
-
The one thing I can say is that this round is guaranteed to make you smile when you rip off a few!
-
I'll be there to help set up. Stages look good

Drove past their new location today. They were laying block for what I'm guessing is the range below the store front. Might (hopefully) make for a more competitive pricing structure in MJ...

I was headed thru Mt Juliet today and was stopped by one of their officers. I had hands on the the wheel and window down when he approached. First thing I noticed was he was smiling. He asked how I was doing and if I knew why he pulled me over. I was stopped at a light, so had no idea. He explained that I had a brake light out. Once he asked for my id, I did as I always do. I let him know I was armed and asked how he'd like to proceed. He smiled more and said no worries, just grab your DL for me. Once he came back to me (I'm assuming after a standard warrant check ect) he said armed, good citizens like you are what this country needs. We then had a brief chat about guns and the like. He even offered to check the blinkers just in case so I could grab any other bulbs I may need after I told him I'd stop at the parts house on the way home. I also asked him if his job was different after the July 1 law change. His outlook was simple: he said (as other LEO's here have) that he has to assume everyone is armed. His concern was that he foresees more car break ins with bad guys looking for guns. Kinda makes me reconsider a lock box/safe for my truck gun now. Nothing other than a good experience all around. Not sure if it was not getting the ticket, or having a very positive interaction, but it made my day. It was clear he liked his job and is here to serve the community.

That's a good looking holster. The pattern isn't too much either. I like it! -
Powder River XDS Spring Kit - Has anyone installed?
Wiljo05 replied to lshel's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
I did the full blown powder river kit in a service model xd. Included a new trigger with over travel reduction piece and 2 sets of springs (competition and carry). I have another xd that I just out the kit in. It's better than stock, but pales in comparison to the full kit. Took about 15 min to put in. Super easy and I'm no gun smith. I used the videos on their website. If you were closer I'd be happy to let you run each and make your decision. If you go with the full kit, you will NOT be sorry!!! -
To my untrained eye it looks pretty good. No noticeable loose ends or frays. It's not as heavy of stitching as say a Desantis all leather, but is comparable if not the same to my Galco and Minotaur. On the Cloak Tuck 2.0 I just got, my initial thought was the leather was super thin. But obviously with the neoprene backing it would have to be vs just a single slab of leather. If I recall the order tho, they have a lifetime warranty on all parts. Which is awesome, hopefully will not need to use that ever though. For $45 to my door, it can't be beat in my mind.
-
I'm in! Looking forward to it.

I just received my cloak tuck 2.0. Was hesitant on the neoprene backing thinking it would be hot, but it is awesome. Super comfortable, and capable of carrying the full size XD9 all day. I got the confirmation email that said 4-6 weeks on delivery, but it came in less than 2. I've already ordered another for me, and one for a family member. I'm sold on them for IWB. they are more comfortable than my desantis or galco.

I'll be hanging up the bow fishing rig this coming weekend (or maybe the following if I get a wild hare) and knocking the dust off mine shortly after. Going to set the trail cams one evening this week. May even sit in a stand and blow a few coyote calls just to get the blood going! I'm afraid with all the coyotes I have, they will/have put a dent in the deer pop. Haven't seen as many deer behind the house as usual. Up to 27 coyotes down this year tho!

did a little upgrading to the 300blk so help me decide
Wiljo05 replied to Ron Padilla's topic in Long Guns
Nice! How do you like that grip? Angle looks considerably different? And yes to spraying the rest. The time you put into it definitely shows! -
Order the dies. Not sure, but don't know of anyone but Lee that has em. Mine have been spot on and no complaints. I received them in about 4/5 weeks if I recall.

Good Deal on X-Treme Bullets Right Now
Wiljo05 replied to Sidewinder's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Just got in 2k 124gr 9mm bullets. Great prices and free shipping arrived 1 day earlier than quoted. -
Ask away! I've got 2 and just finished frankensteining a 3rd version in single stack commander length as my carry piece. Ps reloading is very tolerance focused. Case length and powder volume are NOT forgiving at all. Pressures a very quick to spike. Fwiw I love the round. Taken a coyote at 50+ yards and the 40 gr bullet is devastating!

Welcome. Check Gallatin gun club, mcts in Dickson, and Nashville armory to start. The second and fourth Tuesday of each month the Nashville armory has an idpa from 7-9ish.

Weed eater? I forgot what that is...mine is now in the form of a sprayer mixed hot with some glyco!

Spot on with the carnivorous fish. Flathead catfish is the only warm water fish we cook up. They are easy to catch at the right time of the year. Nothing against crappie as they are great too, just a lot of work when we have so many to feed on a summer holiday.
-
Flour, salt and pepper, batter your fish in that. Then roll in Salt Grass Steakhouse 7 Steak Spice (online and the best stuff on the planet!) Then fry in peanut oil till they float with the $39 fryer from bass pro. We cook up 30-40 lbs of flathead catfish every July 4th. Most of it never makes it into the house! Everyone hovers around the fryer while I'm cooking.

I was able to get one. Lets see if the order actually processes now

Palmetto State has a crazy price on the Taurus TCP 380... Lot of folks don't care for Taurus, but I've had one of these for years and absolutely love it. A deal is $219, they have it for $169. Not sure how long that will last though... http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/taurus-738fs-380-acp-blue-slide-polymer-6rd-1-738031fs.html
