  1. I'll take a look once I'm on my laptop later this morning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. My only problem with that is people who pick up MY brass when I'm shooting.  Told a guy today to leave my 45ACP brass alone.  :)
  3.   True, but always save your brass.  At the rate things are going with our government, there may come a day when you can't buy new ammo at reasonable prices... or at all.
  4. Saw this posted on Facebook earlier this evening: Everything Weapons has entered into a deal to buy The Outpost Armory and merge retail operations. That's huge! Please join me in wishing them both the best of success. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. BTW, this thread is worthless without pics. :D
  6.   I call shennanigans!  :)   My 6.2L gets 12.5 no matter what I'm doing.  Are you driving downhill both directions in neutral or something?
  7. I'm withholding judgement about the new Raptor until I see one and drive one.  I have no plans to trade ours at this point, but I have thought seriously lately about giving it the gift of forced induction.   :devil:
  8. It's a well kept secret to the outside world that a lot of great folks congregate here.  :)
  9. Welcome aboard.
  10. I find it mildly ironic that the hiring event for a firearms manufacturer is being held in a venue wherein one could not possibly legally carry a firearm made by that manufacturer.  Or any other.  It's a curse I have for noticing things like this I guess.   Still, I'm glad to see Beretta coming to Tennessee and wish them and the job seekers who attend the best.  And safety.  :)
  11.   I've been strangely charitable lately.
  12.   Kwik probably is the slower brother.   Nice to see you around.  :)
  13. Meh... we've been trolled by better.  This guy's outta here.
  14. Absolutely horrible.  This is why I carry at church.  Always have, always will.
  15. I swear I'm coming back to this thread.  I've just got other stuff to take care of before I can settle in and really do it justice.
  16. That's a very amazing and inspiring story.  God bless you.
  17. Heck yeah.
  18. I can't remember the last time I got a two-fer out of a thread like this.  I'm seriously going to let this run a while, have a beer, and come back to it later.  Like a fine cigar, this one just feels like something I should savor.
  19. I turned that particular feature off while performance-tuning the server.  Use the "View New Content" button at the top of the page instead for the time being.
  20.   My apologies.  I have amended my previous post to meet these requirements.  Gladly.  :D   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/88586-walmart-strikes-again-this-time-more-serious/#entry1277279

    John Wick

      Its roots are in Judo.  It's similar to Israeli Krav Maga in the sense that it is a hodge-podge of what works from other martial arts, combined into something unique to the country of its origin, created for use by their military as their hand-to-hand combat system.  The Russian stylization is all caps as it's an acronym standing for weaponless combat (SAMBO).  I couldn't tell you what the words are without Googling them.  Plus they're Russian so... :)   There's an interesting bit of history behind Sambo.  From what I recall, two men created it and each of them had kind of their own style that then merged together into what became SAMBO.  One of them spent years in Japan studying under a Judo grand master and as a result of that was accused of being a spy for the Japanese during the 1930's when Russia went Commie.  Some thanks for helping create a viable hand-to-hand fighting system for your nation's military, huh?   The other guy had old battle injuries from WWI and couldn't do a lot of the same throws and such that his Judo-trained counterpart did, so he helped incorporate softer techniques into SAMBO that don't require as much strength but instead rely on bars, holds, locks and efficiency of movement.   The two techniques merged created a really neat and very effective martial art form.  Again, much like Krav.   Anyway, back to John Wick...  Excellent movie.  Really dug the fight scenes and the realistic use of cover, reloads, improvised weapons, etc.  It made me want to get my ass back into the gym and resume Krav Maga.  Maybe I will.
  22.   Not creepy in the least.  ;)
