One of these days I am going to treat myself to a Marathon JSAR or a GSAR. https://www.topspecus.com/collections/dive-watches/products/marathon-jsar-quartz-divers-watch https://www.topspecus.com/collections/dive-watches/products/marathon-gsar-automatic-military-divers-watch

Shameless plug... one of the nice things that I intentionally designed into the TGO decals is the fact that at a casual glance, they don't look like a gun-related decal. There are so many Tennessee tri-star decals out there that people just see it as one of those unless they are really paying attention.

Solid suggestion - thank you! I've really enjoyed Jocko Willink's book Extreme Ownership and the few video interviews I've seen with him on YouTube, etc. Very intelligent, very driven.

Good thread! I have been listening to these lately: This Week in Guns http://firearmsradio.tv/this-week-in-guns/ The banter between these guys is pretty entertaining and the format is honestly similar to what I had in mind for ours. The host, Jake, dutifully plays the role of the Straight Man while his guest hosts are pretty darn funny and seem to know the nuances of the firearms manufacturing and sales industries pretty well. Ballistic Radio http://ballisticradio.com/ Like @prag said above, the host John Johnston can be a bit annoying. I only listen to this if he's going to have a guest on that interests me. John tends to talk way more than he allows his guests to talk, which sucks because they are the only reason I listen. He had Steve Fisher on recently and talked over him so much that it almost sounded like Steve was interviewing him. Really annoying. American Warrior http://americanwarriorshow.libsyn.com/ Another one that @prag mentioned has been on my list for a while too. Mike Seeklander's podcast is a good one to listen to if you want to hear solid guests with solid information. The "Host to Guest" ratio of talking is balanced well or skewed in favor of the guest, which is what I think it should be when you have guests present. Drinkin' Bros Podcast http://www.drinkinbrospodcast.com/ Hide yo wife! Hide yo kids! This is not family friendly or work safe, and sometimes the stuff they say makes me wince but I almost always end up laughing about it immediately afterward. These are the guys behind the Range 15 movie and Article 15 clothing. Mat Best, Rocco Vargas, Ross Patterson, Jarred Taylor and an assorted crew of extras make this one a really twisted, incredibly wrong and inappropriate, but gut busting funny podcast. But seriously... you can't ever let your kids listen to this and your wife may slap you. I am going to have to check out "The Arms Room" now. Thanks for the recommendation!

You know, I get the idea of protesting the liberties that have been encroached on and freedoms that have been violated by knee-jerk reactions as a result of 9/11 but what @Chucktshoes needs to remember is that none of us here [likely] enacted any of those new laws or asked for them in the first place. This thread was obviously intended to remember those whose lives were lost on 9/11/01 and it is still valid for that. Let's not sink the thread just because one or two people saw podiums instead of coffins.

Middle TN is a great place to live and business is booming here. It sounds as though you clearly aren't one of these people, but my concern is that Tennessee may eventually succumb to the same fate as Colorado has as more and more transplants from leftist-voting states like California move in and change the voter demographic.

It was rather serendipitous when I saw a local gentleman and member of this community post this Sig P320 Compact 9mm for sale last weekend. I had actually commented to @MacGyver the preceding Friday that if I didn't end up buying a P320 over the holiday weekend, I was going to be greatly surprised. Maybe it was a premonition of good things to come. Mac asked me what it was about the P320 that had struck my interest and I responded that it was more or less just "boredom" but that wasn't entirely true. While I am prone to wanting to try new things, I think what had really gotten my curiosity up was the sheer number of good things that were being said about these guns on all of the various social media outlets over the past year. The P320 came out at around the same time as the Heckler & Koch VP9 and having just received one of those from an extremely generous member of the forum ( @LawEnforcementSalesTN ) I was reluctant to add another horse to the stable that I would have to equip and feed. While I still have the VP9 and a slew of other striker-fired 9mm handguns, the P320 remained at the back of my mind as something that I would eventually need to try out for myself. The time was finally right, the conditions were favorable, and luck smiled upon me. Today I had a chance to take it out to Charlie Haffner Memorial Range and run a few boxes of Freedom Munitions re-manufactured 9mm FMJ through it. It took me a few rounds to figure out how it preferred my thumbs to lay and how much trigger finger was required to keep it accurate, but once I did both of those things it ran flawlessly and was capable of better accuracy than I was. Through the course of 150 rounds, I experienced no failures to feed or failures to fire. By the time I was 50 rounds into it, I had figured it out and was dropping rapid strings of fire into a 2" group at 14yds. If I slowed down and really focused on the front sight, sub 1" groups at the same distance were entirely possible and entirely satisfying. The gun is simply a shooter. I think the only immediate changes that I will make to it will be the updated slide-stop lever and updated grip module with the raised fence around said stop lever. As a Glock shooter for the past 20 years now, my thumbs naturally sit high on the frame and point forward. This causes my VP9 to fail to lock on an empty slide as I inadvertantly ride the release lever, and does the exact same thing with the P320. Thankfully Sig has identified this as a problem worth fixing and has released those two components to address it. I will give it a few more boxes of ammo to be satisfied, but will be ordering a good leather IWB holster for it soon from TT Gunleather so that, should I get the urge, I can work it into my carry rotation from time to time.

Remembrance is "milking" ??

It saddens me to see where we are as a nation on this 15th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Immediately following September 11th, 2001, the nation seemed united. People were proud to fly the flag - everywhere. The Sunday after 9/11, churches across the country were full to a capacity normally only seen during Christmas and Easter. We were all joined together in sorrow, anger, patriotism and resolve. Today? Today spoiled brat NFL players will "take a knee" instead of standing for our national anthem. Police and Fire departments have been made to remove the flag from their patrol cars and fire trucks because it might be offensive to someone. Useful idiots trip over themselves trying to appease radical Muslims rather than acknowledging that you cannot barter with cancer; cancer must be eradicated. Back when I was in elementary school, some 35 years or so ago, when you got punched in the face by a bully you didn't forget what it felt like. It hurt like hell and you remembered it. You did something about it. You never forgot it. I don't forget the first kid who punched me in the face. I whipped his ass for it and he never did it again. I don't forget the punch we took in the face as a country either. We whipped some ass for that also, but the bully hasn't learned his lesson yet. Does America have the resolve to finish the job? I honestly don't think we do. And maybe that's the thing that saddens me the most about this 9/11.

All of my childhood fears of going to the dentist have been validated.

Folks, Steve is a good human being and a strong believer in gun rights, knife rights, and the American worker. If you need any other reason than that to do business with him, just ask literally one of dozens of TGO members who already have and they'll add their voice to what I've already said. Really glad to see him in business for himself under the Badass Blades moniker.

Thank you! I will add that this job won't be reporting to me but we work very closely with this team and hiring the right person for it will make my own SCCM administrator's life a lot easier.

I will throw a v-neck option into the next design!

Thanks for sharing your findings!

Their modified tanto blade looks excellent.

My company is looking to hire a senior-level Microsoft SCCM engineer. Senior level would indicate that you have between 3-7 years of experience managing software deployments to desktops and/or servers with Microsoft SCCM. Job is in the Nashville area. Pay is very competitive. Benefits are excellent. PM me if you are interested.

I wondered if that might be the case. To be clear about my question, I have no issues with out of state members. We have a lot of them! But I do start to wonder when most of the posts seem to be borderline trolling for reactions.

What I am trying to figure out is why a guy from Ohio is posting this kind of stuff on a gun forum in Tennessee. Seems kind of far from home for you.

I think you just convinced me to pick up a bottle of 1792 today. I've been tempted by it numerous times.

Good grief... Practically 7 months. Our government sucks major bilge water.

Interesting! Do you know what sort of failure? Catastrophic sounds like it blew apart the gun. I am guessing your department runs .40SW?

Post up some pics of your SIG P320's and tell me about your experiences with them. I'm becoming very tempted to buy one.

You need to contact them for details. I posted this as a courtesy to them; I have no further information.

Not saying you guys didn't get hosed, but their web site has been down on more than one occasion in the past. I think the whole Atlas Coolers enterprise is an example of how not to run a business, but hopefully you guys get what you paid for soon.
