I bought some Pritchard's the other day after reading up on it. I am not a rum fan but I really like it.

I got about 7 new dress shirts (really needed them) (3) Ties A new seat for my motorcycle Glock 23 from the wife. Also bought myself 400 rds 9mm and 150 rds of 7.62

A buddy of mine has one and I have shot about 100 rounds through it. I liked it but if I had a choice between the Ruger and a decent AK I would get the AK. Just personal preference.

I've shot both and prefer the AK. I like the mags better than the stripper clips. Like everyone says shoot them both if you can then make your mind up.

I have these..... Both of them serve a different "purpose" The Kimber TLE/RLII has the option to mount a light, think "bedside" gun. The Wilson CQB was my carry piece before I became a LEO. Now it is just a "range gun"

Well my wife is out of town, so I thought I would take this time and snap some pics of items I keep in my safe. Securley locked away from her prying eyes..... I don't know who said this but it is true: "My greatest fear in life is that I will die and my wife will sell all of my things for what I told her I paid for them!" Anyhow, here are my blades. Most of them have been carried/used at work. I have a few pre-production knives and try not to carry them (very much).

I am getting up early Christmas morning and putting an 8lb brisket on the EGG. We don't do turkey at my house...

I do not have one, but I have ran many rounds through a PPS in 9mm and was very impressed. It was accurate and very concealable. I would buy one if I was in the market for a compact pistol. I had a Kel Tec 9mm for a little bit and hated it, the trigger sucked. You might look at a Kahr 9mm. They are a little less than the PPS if you are buying new. As far as a .22 to practice/ plink with, everyone should have one of those....

Gold Dots in .380 is what I carry, no switch between summer and winter.

Does it have the New York trigger in it? About the best glock trigger I felt other than my old duty weapon (Glock 22) that had about 9k rounds through it was a Ghost 3.5 trigger, it was nice.

There have been plenty of Yotes killed in middle Tennessee with a .223. To the OP you will be fine with this caliber. I like 62 grn myself but have used the 40 grn and 55 grn also. Just depends on what the terrain is where you hunt. I use my 16" ar but am hunting a 26" Remington .223 bolt gun.

dralarms gave me one a while ago. I love it, use it when running, walking, etc. I think it is 4".

I like a good pen like cross or the like that is all metal. Wilderness 1 3/4 belt with the big metal buckle, steel toed boots, surefire light (9P is my fav). Never thought about the walking stick or cane that would work well also. Check on warrior talk for carrying in (NPE). Lots of discussion about imporvised "weapons".

At the agency I used to work for we switched to the Federal rounds after some testing. They are impressive.

That is trigger slap, put a tapco in it and be good to go.

I took some training at Rangemaster before I became a LEO and found it to be very good.

Seez52 I would think that if you mounted your knucks to a board or plaque that it wouldnt be a problem. The problem would be if you left the house with them in your pocket or vehicle.

Is your gun 9mm, 40, or .357sig? If you look on the front sight you should see a number, post what number the front sight is and that will let us know if it is the proper sight. Sig makes 2 or 3 (not sure) different front sights. I just checked my wifes 239 (40). It and my 229 (40) have #8 sights. My nines have an 8 also. .45 has a 6. Not sure on the .357 sig as I don't have a dedicated .357 sig pistol, just a conversion barrel. Hope this helps.

Bellshire is out of them. Back ordered. Hero Gear had a new and used one at the Expo, unsure if they sold them or not.

Hook 'em horns?

There is a good thread about the hiring process over in the TN section of officer.com. I have some friends that work or have worked at metro. Pay is good, room for advancement, specialized units (k9, detective, flex, etc.), also no shortage of "work" I would try and do a ride along. If metro doesn't do them, try any of the surrounding counties/cities from Nashville. This would be the best way to see if you are really going to enjoy the job or not. Good luck.

I had a 220 carry elite awhile ago. It had the SRT trigger which I found to be excellent. I did not much care for the beavertail and I would not have adjustable sights on a carry pistol. I have a P229, just a plane jane model and would not trade it. Sorry to muddy the waters for you, but the SRT trigger is a big improvement over the standard DA/SA sig trigger.

Well I had some correspondence with the guys at Bellshire Hardware today. They said there is not a 4" tactical version of this gun. I guess the one I held was the compact 3.5". Anyone ever seen a 4" or Commander Style RIA Tactical?

I didn't see the Rock Island guns on there. I know there made by Armscore but cant find anything on the Rock Island Tactical in 4"

I got a chance to hold a Rock Island Tactical today, I believe it had a 4" barrel. I did some searching and can not find a webpage for them. Does anyone know the website for the company so I can see all of the different specs and variations?
