One of the best cars I ever owned was a 2011 Ford Escape I bought used around 2013. Only think I did to that car was oil changes until my wife got hit and hit/totaled by a hit & run driver in 2018. I replaced it with a 2018 Kia Sportage EX thst I bought new that has served her well so far. But I think it seems smaller than the Escape. I drive a 2017 Kia Sorento SXL that I got from CarMax in about 2019. Buying from them, I got an almost new fully loaded car for less than half the new price! So far, knock on wood, it’s been wonderful. Have had a couple batteries go bad, but that’s all other than oil and filter changes. Mine has the 6 cy. The newer ones have a 4 cy, that I’ve heard bad things about. I recently drove a rental 2022 Kia Sorento SX Prestige X-line, which I’m told is the newer cars trim level equal to my trim level in my year. It had a 4 cy. My work paid gif me a rental for a work trip to Louisville and I just happened to get that. The 4 cy seemed to be fine gif me. The electronic bling on the car was more modern of course and I liked that, but one thing is did was turn off st red lights then start back up when I released the brake. Not sure what that’s called but I didn’t like it, plus it seems to me that it wouldn’t be good fir the car either, but I dunno. All this to say I like my Kia’s, lol.

Would love to change some laws in TN
Defender replied to DO-TN's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
They don't spend much on websites, etc, concentrating more on pushing for legislation. They do, however, send out regular emails outlining what they are doing. -

Nice target! Your comments about triggering reminds me of when I was stationed in the UK back in the 70s-80s. Being at the time a pretty much disarmed society, they were very sensitive about us carrying firearms in their country. Before using a firearm, we were required by the Status Of Forces Agreement (SOFA) between the US and England to recite what we called the UK challenge before using deadly force. It was: "Halt. Halt. Halt or I will fire!, We were supposed to recite that 3 times before firing. Yeah, unbelievable I know. When NATO and English officials asked us, wed happily recite the challenge. Luckily, we never had the actual need to shoot anyone, but amongst ourselves, we'd recite the REAL challenge wed use in a real situation: Halt! BAM BAM BAM Halt. Halt or Ill fire! Also, they'd ask us if we shot to kill. We'd have to answer, no, we shoot to wound and stop the threat. Of course, we were taught to shoot at center mass, so the joke we'd say privately was we shoot to wound in the heart.

One thing comes to mind...in Memphis recently, 5 people would be alive today if 2 criminals had served their complete sentences.

Love their food. Saturday lunch works best for me.

I’d try to go to a Nashville meet.

Like others have said, there’s no such place as a safe area, but especially at 0430.

Is a transfer of ownership needed?
Defender replied to Steve M.'s topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
If you’re worried, do a simple bill of sale and backdate it to when you both lived here, since that’s when the decision to transfer to you took place. As others have said, not necessary for anything but peace of mind. -
Those are about all I wear off the clock. They’re comfy, loose, roomy pockets, cool in summer, and don’t print bad.

Do you happen top know if they will do for the Holosun footprint as well?

Trying to upgrade to lifetime permit confusion
Defender replied to RunaTuna's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
A few years back when i had some questions, i found an email address and phone number for the lady that was then in charge of the unit that does these. She was very responsive as well. Pretty sure she's moved on now and I no longer have that info anyway, but maybe someone else does? Alternatively, Sept is right around the corner and since one status said it'd be issued then, you could just wait and see... -
Prefer hammer, but have both and my current EDC is striker as is my backup.

I’ve got a boatload of 12 and 15 rd XL mags, too many to justify getting the macro grip module, but have considered it. Someone posted they made their 15 rd mags fit by trimming, can the 12 rd mag be the same?
-
Has anyone seen the new macro 17 round mags for sale anywhere? Not sure if it’s Sigs site or my iPad browser, but when I search therefor 9mm magsihyst get one hit.
-
On An Instagram page, there are pictures and videos of the Macro. The dude didn’t make a very polished video, lol, but he went through the whole thing pretty good. The 17 round macro mags fit and function fine in the xl. Right now there’s a gap but I’m sure that when they sell the mags they will have a gap filler or sleeve or baseplate available. Probably tacdev after market versions too. Here’s the link: Eric Murphy https://www.instagram.com/tv/ChTA70_pA_P/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I have two comments. First I don’t understand why folks, even those who say they don’t want to be called doctor, still often put that designation after their names in official work emails. Second, like Grayfox54 said, they can be quite dense. I call them professional students.

I’ll probably wait for the green MRS version. Tests what I have on my Spectre now and I like the versatility.

I saw a Reddit thread today that said the 17 round mags are compatible with all P-365s. They showed ent looked like still clip from a video that looked similar to the above picture Patton posted. When I went to Sigs sight, which I think is very poorly designed, I could find no mention anoutthat so I guess I wait til they come out. Many would say that if you need 17 rounds, you can’t shoot, lol. Well, I can shoot pretty good, but I’ve read of instances where there are needs. I’m gonna carry 12+1 in my Spectre, but I’d change from carrying a 15 round back up mag to the 17 round if compatible. I love my Spectre and am not planning on replacing it at this point, but I do like then idea of a internal comp. I looked at the Spectre comps though and didn’t like looks of the finish and appearance of the side. For me, I’m stupid enough to view looks as important as well. Quedtion for the experts: what makes the internal comp a comp? Is it just the shorter barrel and the enhance porting? Could I get similar results by just installing a shorter barrel on my Spectre?

You calling me a dumba**? Lol. In my defense I have Covid and am on some pain meds….but still you might be right.
