[quote name="Bolt_Overide" post="1155284" timestamp="1401845214"]sorry to burst your bubbles, but its a walther branded umarex turd...[/quote] If that's the case then all Smyrna, GA marked Glocks are Glock branded GA turds. Just sayin ;) I've heard that knock but it doesn't hold water since there aren't any to evaluate yet and the reviews by people who have actually tested them, says different.

I looked at the original STX due to its smaller profile but after talking to them the 2.0 holds 1/4 in closer to the body and has the tension adjustment. I didn't even think about that feature till you mentioned it. I'm glad I went with the 2.0

[quote name="KKing" post="1155201" timestamp="1401832246"]I had one, unfortunately my experience wasn't as good. Very good quality holster. My problem, which I believe is because the leather never got broken in, was while drawing it would pull my pants up entirely before the gun would come unholstered. That's even with a VERY snug gun belt. Maybe if I had patience to allow it time, I just couldn't[/quote] This one has tension adjustment, so I don't have that problem. I could see that being an issue without that feature.

[quote name="gregintenn" post="1155197" timestamp="1401831861"]Neat design. I haven't seen one before.[/quote] I hadn't either, that's why I was a bit hesitant. Be honest I had an order in for a Zero Concealment (raven style) and wouldn't have ordered the Garrett had it not been for the discount. I will now without a problem. I was more than pleasantly surprised with the quality, turn around time, and their customer service is excellent. They also sell all their extra parts, clips, and anything else you need on their site.

It has always been the law that you owe the sales tax on any internet sale.  You are supposed to fill out the tax form and send in the correct sales tax voluntarily. No, dealers do not collect the sales tax unless they are pocketing it for themselves.

Yep, :-) best of all worlds. Thought it would be to thick but it isn't at all. No clicking and clanking when the gun is going in or coming out and it protects the finish a better.

So as many of you know you usually end up with a drawer full of holsters before you find the one that works, but I got it on the first try this time. It is a Garrett Industries "Silent Thunder STX 2.0" http://www.giholsters.com/silent-thunder-stx-2-0/ I was a little hesitant because I hadn't heard of this company and they are a bit pricey, but after getting it all I can say is WOW! This thing is awesome. Adjustable cant, high quality leather lined kydex, adjustable tension, and it is the most comfortable closest riding holster I've ever had! I had been a big believer in the Raven style and thought those were it, but this one puts them to shame. These will be my go to holster from now on. BTW - I did get the memorial day sale at 25% off and turn around was a week. Here is the PPQ in its new rig.

Well according to the Walther forum, they been advertising these for awhile and no one has one yet, so they haven't hit the shores yet.

Mikey, I'm with you on this one. Gotta have it! Now if they will just ever become available.

[quote name="musicman" post="1154454" timestamp="1401673293"]Cool! What's the capacity and barrel length currently?[/quote] 18.5" barrel and holds 6. I'm going to get the Choate +1 extension for the 870. It fits flush with the end of the barrel.

Bersaguy they will call you names no matter what you say or do. You assume they are fighting fair. Bush is a great example. No matter how he tried to honor the office of president by not getting into the fight, he ostensibly let all those who supported his position take the hits for him. It's a noble thought but the reality of the fight is far different. They way you win these arguments is changing the false promise that they try to use. As long as we let them set the stage and fight by their rules we will struggle. You can be tactful about it but you have to change the premise and Joe was trying to do that. This is also how we get Rhino's. They let the dems set the premise and then they try to work within that framework. That's why most of them sound like democrats and there ones that reject it are labeled extremist.

Well, evidently after the Heller decision the USPS declared themselves a "sensitive area" as mentioned that ruling and changed their "laws". So my statement above is overturned at the moment.

I'll have to find it but the only part posted in most post offices is the separated counter area and it is usually posted at that point and not on the main doors. You can carry in the po box area and parking lot as the only part of the property considered federal property is the counter area. Reason being almost all post offices are privately owned property that is leased to the feds. The parking lot issues mentioned above is where that was clarified. That being said I'll have to find it.

Bersaguy, this is why they get by with exploitation, that we end up fighting from a losing position. We find fault with our side and give all kinds of sympathy to them. Joe's responding to those particular parents using their children's deaths as a political platform. Making a statement is one thing, organizing a speech with organized media attendance in a rally format is not grieving. It's an organized political event and as such sympathy is irrelevant because the grief us irrelevant.

[quote name="musicman" post="1153742" timestamp="1401499806"]AR. Seriously. I've been thinking about it, as I have everything listed... Marlin 1894, S & W 19 4", and M&Ps in 9 and 40 in all sizes. If I have to grab one gun and go, it's an AR. I have more mags and ammo for them than anything else. Distance, capacity, adequate power for most needs, and firing rate. I'll probably be dead before I ran out of ammo in a Red Dawn scenario... just sayin '.[/quote] Yep, cause someone with an AK will have put you down already and then taken your stuff :-)

Very good take on liberals and their view of people like myself. Nothing is new evidently.   [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btvSE6tVHzQ[/media]  

Nothing new fellas' It's old and libs try to label anything they can't fight on ideas. Check out John Wayne's take on it.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btvSE6tVHzQ

Got another inexpensive Hawk 982 and decided to play with it ;). Painted it with Dupli-color "Cast Iron" hi-temp engine enamel. I've used HVT on a lot of AK's to good effect. Not used this stuff before but I did bake it as well, so we'll see how it holds up. Changed the sights screws to stainless, Hogue 12" LOP stock, shell holder, and stainless mag follower. May add a Choate mag tube extension, but all in all I'm still under $300 dollars for a good shotgun.

I LOVE my Rossi m92. I like that you can load down the .38 for small game or really load up the .357 and in a 18" rifle you've pretty much got a 30-30. Which is plenty good for anything in North America at proper range. I also really like the 9mm for availability being that it's a military load and more widely available than anything else ATM. I have a .38 revolver but would really like to get one of the Blackhawk convertibles and have it all.

There's really only one model. How they are configured is the difference you see in all the pictures and threads. Essentially they come into the country in a "sporter" configuration. Meaning the trigger group is moved back to accommodate the traditional straight stock. Once you "convert" it by replacing the trigger group with a standard AK trigger group, add a pistol grip, and an AK stock you can add just about anything AK related to it. There's a few details in addition to what I mentioned like a trigger guard, sometimes you have to cut pistol grip nut holes, and some filing on the mag catch is needed..   One caveat are the Vepr 12's that are coming in. Rumor is that they are no longer making Saiga 12's and are going to the Vepr 12's exclusively. They're all already converted and ready to go as is. They don't use Saiga mags but there are more and more companies bringing them to market so it is almost a non-issue. The Vepr 12 is a better gun overall and the price on unconverted Saiga's has gotten stupid and a converted Saiga will cost more than a Vepr and give you less features.

Don't know why the Chinese (now twice), the French, Russians, and the US keep getting sucked into the Pit of Despair, but it looks like China wants another go. Now if NK and Vietnam kick up, then the already angered Japanese get on board this could get interesting fast. Oh Don't forget the Taiwanese, Philippines, and just about everyone else in the Asian theatre that China has been strong arming and it just might bring China to it's knees. This could get interesting depending on China's level of arrogance. http://chinadailymai...vietnam-border/

[quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1152657" timestamp="1401237634"]?? Private handgun sale to 18 year old is legit here. - OS[/quote] Yeah, I'm used to FFL rules where it's 21.

Correction, you changed it to handgun and over 18, so no. They would have to be 21. However, if you change the parameters to the op's scenario then my former answer stands.

[quote name="DaveTN" post="1152632" timestamp="1401232496"]So… you sell a handgun to a 16 year old from Alabama and he kills some kids in a school shooting. It’s traced back to you. Your defense is going to be “I asked him if he was over 18 and if he was a Tennessee resident and he said yes; that is all I am required to do” ??[/quote] Yes. That is the law unless there was reason to believe otherwise. That is the only defense the law requires and as such is all the law can request. It is a legal defense to the exact scenario you made up and any other unreasonable obscure hypothetical scenario you will make up. Don't know why you try to make these things so complicated. You come up with hypothetical's that are so out of the norm, just to try and make some moral dilemma statement.

Technically you would have been legally cleared since you asked if he where a TN resident and he responded yes. There is no requirement to "prove" residence in a FTF sales. Even not producing a TN license did not disqualify the sale since there is no legal requirement to prove residence by either parties in a FTF. That is only required during an FFL transfer.   That being said, I'd probably have walked away for the same reason you did. It's not worth the risk and playing lawyer on the internet while I'm at work is a lot less consequential than with LE on the side of the road or a judge at the arraignment. ;)
