Welcome fellow M&P carrier.

I agree with this 100%.  While rolling around in the dirt all dressed up like some sort of mercenary bad-ass at a civilian high-risk shoot 'em up training class is undeniably fun, it's about as practical as tits on a boar.  You're welcome to debate my stance on that all you want and argue that your favorite badass teacher with a ton of YouTube videos is more knowledgeable and more badass than I am, but let's look at Kyle's creds first:         Unless your guy has credentials like that, your guy can STFU.   So here's what Kyle has to say about civilians and training for the fight:   Secondly, I will continue to run all open enrollment classes from deep concealment, not just an OWB with a shirt over it. I believe this is more important now than ever due to recent events, the possible coming bans and the fact that the concealed draw is, in my opinion, one of the most important skills a civilian MUST master. With this, I hope that more OE students will train with me as they would walk the street, which is to say probably not wearing a mil helmet, cammie uniform, plate carrier, and over belt. Additionally, I will be working on some training nuance’s to be able to get more out of pistols than traditionally is thought of. This is a major reboot for some people as they simply wear the other gear because it’s easier to shoot and do drills from, but in fact is more complicated once the concealed draw is learned, and has no application to the real world. It also goes without saying that blade work will be more important now than ever.   Source:  http://kyledefoor.tumblr.com/post/39690998443/re-boot   Click on over and read it.   :popcorn:

There will never be a time to relax.   “Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grand-children are once more slaves.” D. H. Lawrence (1885-1938)     What we are dealing with now is the result of the complacency of the past few generations.  Believe it.

  Bill Scarpino is anything but "new" ... just new to the Armory.  You can see their announcement here:   http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/55211-gunsmith/   Hope that  helps.

Just me.  Tnx!  :)

  They are well aware that the current implementation of Tapatalk for IPB 3.4 has a lot of problems to be worked out.  They simply aren't showing it any attention, preferring to work on other platforms instead.  vBulletin, phpBB, etc.

Like I said earlier, this isn't about the speed of the server.  We know we've got a problem there -- the new look and feel was just designed to let pages load faster by reducing the amount of big image files, and maybe take some of the load off of the server.   The server is another problem entirely.

Nashville Armory (one of our vendors) has a smith that provides services through their shop.  Might check with them.   Guns and Leather (also a vendor) has a smith but I am not 100% sure if his operation was impacted by the recent fire at their location.  Might check with them also and see if he's still operational.   Not sure about others.

quoting from mobile now. Looks good.

I've just applied a patch from IPB that should fix this.  We'll have to see if it really does.

From Noveske's Facebook page for those here who don't use FB:         Source: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=519975964689488&id=181862575167497

Noveske Rifleworks has confirmed on their Facebook page.  It's not just rumor any longer.

  BUT... the companies (big box retailers) that you are talking about are not producing any of those items.  They are simply clearinghouses for them.   Glock is a manufacturer.  If you are going to ask them to deviate from their standard handgun design, you might as well ask them to manufacture tricycles as well.

Unfortunately, yes it is true.   http://www.flashalert.net/news.html?id=1002

  Tnx.  It's moving quickly right now and I hope that stays the case, but I had it screaming fast yesterday only to see it slow down a bit.  I'm not going to trust that we won't have speed problems again until I get us moved over to Amazon's cloud service.

  Nope.  Sorry.

  Understood.  I'll work to get that fixed.

  Are you getting blocked on your native IP?  We had to block some address ranges at the firewall earlier.  Yours might have gotten caught in the dragnet accidentally.

The site sure does look different also.  *cough cough*   :P

Sorry guys - those things are now enabled again.   As Dolomite was saying, I had to turn certain features off while I was working on the forum yesterday.

As soon as Tapatalk releases a corrected version and I confirm it works, I will reinstall it.

You guys should check this book out...   http://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Get-Fat-About/dp/0307474259     It's eye opening and might give you some encouragement.

I gagged my way through one of the articles that has gained her renown among her fellow hand-wringers... http://www.babble.com/toddler/toddler-behavior-learning/redshirting-kindergarteners-age-kindergarten-readiness/ Basically it's a bunch of tripe speaking out against the notion that you should hold a child back in school if he's not showing sufficient progress to move forward. Yes, she's a huge supporter of the whole "No Child Left Behind" nonsense that has fostered a culture in which you get a gold star just for showing up and no one is told that they're not good enough or smart enough or strong enough to move ahead in life without remediation. Stupid cow.

For years I've been a fan of A-Holster's pocket holster design...  http://www.lefthandholster.com/Pocket_Holster.php   When I picked up my XD-S, Alan didn't have one available for it so I found a similar design through PJ's Holsters:  http://pjholster.com/   Both of these are good to go.
