Welcome to TGO.

It's not just you, I'm having the same problem.

Welcome from a northern neighbor

I don't remember ever seeing one of his videos on TGO but I'm becoming a fan. Colion Noir is an African-American gun rights activist, lawyer, member of the National Rifle Association, and the host of the web series Noir on the NRA's online video channel NRA Freestyle.

Remember this statement? Obama’s call for a private standing army was made at a 2008 appearance in Colorado Springs. “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we set,” Obama said at the time. “We’ve got have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” You may or may not be able to read the whole article at the link so........ Special agents at the IRS equipped with AR-15 military-style rifles? Health and Human Services “Special Office of Inspector General Agents” being trained by the Army’s Special Forces contractors? The Department of Veterans Affairs arming 3,700 employees? The number of non-Defense Department federal officers authorized to make arrests and carry firearms (200,000) now exceeds the number of U.S. Marines (182,000). In its escalating arms and ammo stockpiling, this federal arms race is unlike anything in history. Over the last 20 years, the number of these federal officers with arrest-and-firearm authority has nearly tripled to over 200,000 today, from 74,500 in 1996. What exactly is the Obama administration up to? On Friday, June 17, our organization, American Transparency, is releasing its OpenTheBooks.com oversight report on the militarization of America. The report catalogs federal purchases of guns, ammunition and military-style equipment by seemingly bureaucratic federal agencies. During a nine-year period through 2014, we found, 67 agencies unaffiliated with the Department of Defense spent $1.48 billion on guns and ammo. Of that total, $335.1 million was spent by agencies traditionally viewed as regulatory or administrative, such as the Smithsonian Institution and the U.S. Mint. Some examples of spending from 2005 through 2014 raise the question: Who are they preparing to battle? • The Internal Revenue Service, which has 2,316 special agents, spent nearly $11 million on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment. That’s nearly $5,000 in gear for each agent. • The Department of Veterans Affairs, which has 3,700 law-enforcement officers guarding and securing VA medical centers, spent $11.66 million. It spent more than $200,000 on night-vision equipment, $2.3 million for body armor, more than $2 million on guns, and $3.6 million for ammunition. The VA employed no officers with firearm authorization as recently as 1995. • The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service spent $4.77 million purchasing shotguns, .308 caliber rifles, night-vision goggles, propane cannons, liquid explosives, pyro supplies, buckshot, LP gas cannons, drones, remote-control helicopters, thermal cameras, military waterproof thermal infrared scopes and more. • The Environmental Protection Agency spent $3.1 million on guns, ammunition and military-style equipment. The EPA has put nearly $800 million since 2005 into its “Criminal Enforcement Division.” • The Food and Drug Administration employs 183 heavily armed “special agents.” The University of California, Berkeley acquired 14 5.56mm assault rifles and Yale University police accepted 20 5.56mm assault rifles from the Defense Department. Texas Southern University and Saddleback College police even acquired Mine Resistant Vehicles (MRVs). Other paper-pushing federal agencies with firearm-and-arrest authority that have expanded their arsenals since 2006 include the Small Business Administration, Social Security Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Education Department, Energy Department, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, National Institute of Standards and Technology and many others. People from both ends of the political spectrum have expressed alarm at this trend. Conservatives argue that it is hypocritical, unconstitutional and costly for political leaders to undermine the Second Amendment while simultaneously equipping nonmilitary agencies with heavy weapons, hollow-point bullets and military-style equipment. Progressives like Sen. Bernie Sanders have raised civil liberties concerns about the militarization of local police with vehicles built for war and other heavy weaponry. Meanwhile, federal authorities are silent on the growing arsenal at federal agencies. In fact, we asked the IRS for an asset accounting of their gun locker—their guns and ammunition asset inventory by location. Their response? “We don’t have one [an inventory], but could create one for you, if important.” Our data shows that the federal government has become a gun show that never adjourns. Taxpayers need to tell Washington that police powers belong primarily to cities and states, not the feds. Dr. Coburn is a physician and former U.S. senator from Oklahoma.

Welcome from the western end of the state.

How much do you like your job? You know the company policy, why push it? BTW, welcome to TGO.

The only problem I've ever had is with CCI, but that was only in a Charter Arms Undercover. Same ammo in my Rugers went bang every time.

But worth watching:

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Benjamin Franklin

I think, at one time or another, I received each and every one of those statements.

Welcome back

Well, it does beat the "slipper holster" upload gifs

...but just barely. Only one other county in America had a worse record at new business startups than Memphis and Shelby County between 2010 and 2014, a new study shows. Economic Innovation Group reviewed U.S. Census data for the nation’s 3,135 counties and ranked Shelby County at 3,134. Detroit and Wayne County placed last. http://www.commercialappeal.com/business/jobs-wages/Business-startups-in-Shelby-County-ranked-below-all-US-counties-except-one-380991891.html

Here's a starting point. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/HarringtonRichardson-33274/Revolvers-36449/940-38114.htm

This is a conversation from the glocktalk forum (for what it's worth). Left rear rail may allow the rear of the slide to torque to the right. Their words, not mine "By the way, I've had rails break off of two Glocks. Both were the left rear rails. I'm guessing those left rear rails are exposed to more torquing or force. I don't know if it's upward or downward force though, probably due to the rifling/barrel twist." just curious, did the serial # of these two glocks that you broke start with E? Yes, my G23gen3 was one of the problematic models which started with an "E"; my G31gen3 was a much later serial number, starting with "S". When I first called Glock, they advised not to send it in unless it breaks, as not all "E" s/n'd guns will break. A few thousand rounds later, it broke.
