TGO David

You seem like the ideal candidate to scour the forum for all of the things we miss and tell us when you find something like this that qualifies.

If you get his permission to repost it here, that will take care of all problems. Thanks.

We now have a similar warning here. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/tn-gun-owners-announcements/58333-notice-do-not-re-post-photos-written-content-you-do-not-own.html#post741732 And yes, it totally sucks.

This thread is closed. Watch that crap in the future; it can get TGO in a lot of trouble.

This goes without saying, but please be sure to check and double-check the legality of carrying wherever it's held. Especially if it's on municipal property.

LLB's quality has diminished quite a bit over the years. Most of their stuff is now made overseas and their so-called ballistic nylon luggage is no more rugged than what you can get from Timbuktu, North Face, etc.

I tried it once on an old Remington 870 shotgun. I wasn't very impressed with the durability of it.

You will have to make an attempt to come to the next organized TGO shoot in the Nashville / middle TN area.

Morton's isn't near Green Hills though. It's in the middle of downtown Nashville.

THAT is much cooler than a machine gun.

I think part of the reason why there haven't been any replies yet is because the parameters are kind of wide open, except for your exclusion of the club scene. I wouldn't know where to start there anyway. As for Green Hills, it is fairly centrally located in the greater Nashville metropolitan area and an easy 10-15 minute drive (with traffic) from downtown Nashville proper. I wouldn't necessarily look for a hotel in Green Hills proper but probably one in downtown if you're wanting to be near the unique restaurants and want to stay someplace interesting. What sort of food / activities are you looking for, other than the tobacco shop?

If you have problems racking the slide on a semi-automatic, I would recommend that you consider a small revolver of some sort. Smith & Wesson J-Frame chambered in .38spl would be sufficient. While a full-house .38spl load can have a little pop to it in a short barrel handgun, you can find lighter power loads that remedy some of that -- if it is a problem.

Never threw that day out there. It's a good possibility, but let's not go mentioning dates until I have it shored up.

Ads in the Classifieds should only be posted for items for sale by the person posting them.

There have been countless threads about this and most of them, like this one, were also started to troll for a reaction. Do a search.

So... why did you buy one of them if you'd heard all of these bad things?

I've been busy with other things. I hope to get out to Owl Hollow this weekend and talk with Charlie.

It's not uncommon for a particular make/model handgun to refuse to feed certain types of ammo. The point of the break in period is not just to "break in" the handgun but also to figure out what ammo your gun feeds reliably. You seem to be over-reacting.

My stainles P220 Carry SAO would rust on the slide as well.

I'm sure you could buy quite a bit of beer and drink it out of the bottle, but it wouldn't be near as cool as drinking it out of a Battle Mug.

Seriously?

That particular email asks that it be passed around, but I would advise you all to be careful about copying here anything that is sent out via APPS that does not specifically state that it can be retransmitted. Nothing has occurred to cause me to state this, but I can easily envision someone being unhappy about the contents of an email being pasted on this or any other forum and then requiring the text to be taken down. Just keep that in mind.

When you consider what "average" means, this statement is paradoxical.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I seriously heard someone suggest a Galco holster as being a viable option for discrete carry. There are so many better options out there that I can't believe Galco is even still in business. FIRST... Being a little self-conscious at first is normal but you need to get over it quickly. Your nervousness and constant fiddling around with the gun, holster, your shirt, etc are what will give you away long before anyone notices a slight lump beneath your shirt. If you're concerned that your shirt is too tight, wear a looser shirt. You will have to make some adjustments in your attire from time to time. SECOND... There is no such thing as a one-size fits all carry solution. If you intend to carry everywhere you are legally allowed and want to make sure that no one sees it, you will be investing in a pocket gun of some sort down the road. There simply will be times that only a pocket gun makes sense. THIRD... You spent anywhere from $300-1000 on a handgun for carry. Don't be cheap when it comes to holsters or belts. Buy a purpose-built belt meant for supporting the weight of a firearm and holster. Gun Belts by The Belt Man is highly recommended by me and many others. I've been using his belts for nearly 8 years and they are the only belts I will buy now. As for holsters, I am a longtime fan of the Comp-Tac MTAC holster but recently have become an even larger fan of the Occidental Leather Company's Stronghold Phoenix IWB holsters. If you change guns as often as you change underwear, go with the MTAC and save yourself some money. If you've settled on a gun that you believe you will keep and carry for some time, get the Stronghold Phoenix. FOURTH... Realize that as long as you are carrying where you are legally allowed, who gives a rat's ass if someone else notices your gun "printing" or your shirt slips up over the grip slightly and exposes it. You're legal so everyone else can go F-themselves. Once you have that squarely in mind, you can start relaxing and relaxing is going to help you with the first point above. Good luck. And stop f'ing with your gun when you're carrying.
