1st - I am shocked that Tennessee hasn't done a Jeep plate yet. I can imagine that they would sell very well. 2nd - That is a terrible illustration on that plate. I hope someone offers a better looking design.

I had a request for photos of this knife in my hand. I assume to get an idea of what size it is. So, here we go! I normally wear a men's Medium glove. I'm wearing a nitrile rubber glove here just to keep oils from my hand from coloring the natural linen Micarta scales. They're meant to pick up "character" as you use and hold the knife, but let's make that YOUR character and not mine. This is hefty knife.

Those people rub me all kinds of wrong. I'm not sure if Tennessee passed that sort of law or not, but I'd support it if they have one on the books for consideration. Maybe someone will find info on it before I can, but I will do some searching. Edit... Well, I didn't have to search hard. John Harris of the TFA has a good blog posting on his law practices' web site. You can find it here: Range Protection Act (harrislawoffice.com)

I approve of this introduction.

Armslist kicked off FaceBook & Instagram

Ah. Well. I hate the stranglehold that the leftists have on social media, but they tend to own Big Tech because conservatives and moderates have repeatedly ceded ground to them in all areas of life. It sounds like Gettr will suffer the same problem that has plagued all of the other upstart media outlets. Namely, people like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter because the majority of people, organizations and causes that they care about are on those established platforms. The majority of people, orgs and causes aren't making "the big switch" to the alternative outlets. Until they do, the traffic will stay where they are. -

Now to offer some opinions. It sounds like 2020 was a hard year for the range. I am sure that the drought of ammunition and the rising prices when it could be found both steered away shooters. I am just guessing, but I have noticed that a lot of folks historically paid-by-the-day, so the lack of activity last year probably put a huge dent in their operating budget. The stiff increase in pricing did make me wince a little as I wrote my check, but it is still proximally the closest range to me which makes it very convenient. I just worry that they may now be priced into competition with other ranges within a 30-minute drive that offer better hours, various amenities, and even indoor shooting. The change in operating hours is also something that I think will impact a lot of patrons. Previously the range stayed open until 6:00PM during warmer months. They also opened at 8:00AM previously. These two changes will cut into their clientele that work Monday - Friday jobs, especially if they commute for work. Unless you can make it to the range by 3:00PM, you probably won't bother trying to go during the week now. I hope the hours change. If enough people let Charlie know their concerns, maybe he would consider adjusting that part of the new changes. I signed up for another year at the unlimited tier. I think that I will get enough use out of it to warrant not just paying $100 base and $10 per visit. Time will tell.

I am passing along some information that might be pertinent to some of our Nashville-area members, particularly those in the Franklin, Spring Hill, southern Williamson County areas. Charlie Haffner Memorial Range's pricing and hours have changed substantially as of January 2022, so please be advised and prepared rather than surprised when you go to renew this year. I will line-item the changes as they were relayed to me, below. There are no longer pay-by-the-day options for shooting at CHMR. Shooting there requires an annual membership or being the guest of someone who is an annual member. The basic annual membership costs $100.00 and now runs 12-months regardless of which month you purchase within (previously it was Jan 1 – Dec 31). At this tier, you still pay another $10.00 each time you go to the range. Adult guests at this tier pay $20.00 per day and minor children at this tier pay $10.00 per day. The next tier of annual membership costs $200.00 and allows unlimited visits for no additional cost. This membership is for you as an individual and does not cover your spouse or minor children. Adult guests at this tier pay $20.00 per day and minor children at this tier pay $10.00 per day. The next tier of annual membership costs $250.00 and allows unlimited visits for your spouse and minor children for no additional cost. Other adult guests still pay $20.00 per day at this tier. I presume that children outside your immediate household will still be $10.00 per day, but I did not ask. The range hours have also changed. The range is still closed the first full weekend of each month. The range is also now closed only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, unless one of those days happens to be a holiday. The range will also be closed on any day where the HIGH temperature will not be above 32-degrees Fahrenheit. The range hours are now 9:00AM – 4:00PM all year round. (Previously the hours ran later during the warmer months). Lastly, every time you visit the range you must visit the Range Officers shack and sign-in on the guest book. The scheduling changes can be confirmed by visiting https://williamsonshooting.com . None of the pricing changes are listed there, from what I’ve seen. Charlie and the other gentleman that I spoke with today said that these changes are meant to help keep the peace with neighboring residents to hopefully postpone the inevitability of the day when encroaching development might shut them down. The cost increases just reflect what the range needs to fund its operation and pay Charlie for his time and effort.

I need to look into one of these for my 365. I love the way the Wilson grip feels on my P320.

### SOLD ### Shadow Systems MR920 Combat. Optics Ready. Glock 19 Size. With or Without Trijicon RMR RM06 Type-2 Optic. Alright, hold onto your hats TGO, because this is one that I really did not anticipate selling. I am only doing so because I am simply out of room in the safe and have too many guns of this type. Something had to go, so this is it. What is a Shadow Systems MR920? It's easiest to click these links... MR920 (shadowsystemscorp.com) TFB Review: Shadow Systems MR920 - My Handgun Of The Year -The Firearm Blog Gun Review: Shadow Systems MR920 9mm Pistol - The Truth About Guns Essentially, this is the Glock 19 that your Glock wishes it was. It seriously fits all Glock 19 holsters that I have ever tried, including those molded specifically for a Glock 19 out of vacuum formed Kydex. It has better ergonomics, a better trigger, an actual beavertail, a removable magazine well, a modular grip that allows you to adjust the size and angle of the grip, an excellent but not too-aggressive texture on the frame, accelerator pedal style indentations in the front of the frame for your support hand thumb, awesome iron sights with a Tritium front and plain black rear, a slide with legitimately usable front and rear cocking serrations, and an optics mounting system that provides INSANELY low mounting of your red dot sight, with the strongest mounting hardware I've ever seen. It comes with two Magpul 15-round magazines, all of the stuff I listed above, and a quality soft-side gun case. OH... and Shadow Systems says that they'll loan you another MR920 if you have to use yours in a legal, justified self-defense situation and yours is collected for evidence. I kid you not. It's listed in the paperwork. With or Without the Trijicon RMR model RM06 Type-2 6.5MOA Dot? Yes. I'll include the Trijicon RMR that is already zeroed for the gun, or you can buy the gun without it. Condition of the Hardware? I'd rate it an 8/10. There are two tiny little spots of holster wear on the leading edge of the slide. I've circled them in the photos. It has less than 1,000 rounds through it. It is in flawless mechanical condition and superb cosmetic condition. But it is used and it was carried now and again, so it's not a Safe Queen. The RMR has a small spot of wear on the casing, circled in the photos also. The lens is perfect, no scratches, and it works flawlessly. I have replaced the mag-release with a Zev OZ9 release to make it easier to manipulate without being prone to accidental release. I have replaced the slide-release with an OEM Glock extended release to make it easier to manipulate. Factory Specifications? CALIBER: 9×19 WEIGHT: 23oz LENGTH: 7 1/8″ HEIGHT: 4 3/4″ BARREL: 4″ FINISH: Bronze TiCN TRIGGER: 4-4.5 lbs MSRP: $940 ADDITIONAL PARTS: Magwell extensions, 3x backstraps, backstrap tool, thread lock, soft-side case, optics mounting hardware, two Magpul 15rd mags Terms Of Sale? MSRP on the MR920 Optics Ready Combat is $870 MRSP on the Trijicon RMR Type-2 RM06 6.5MOA optic is $479 Sale price for the MR920 only: $680 Sale price for the MR920 plus Trijicon RMR: $1,050 Will only sell the RMR separately if the gun sells alone first CASH SALE ONLY Must meet during daylight hours in the Franklin, TN / Spring Hill, TN area. If we've never done business before, you will need to show me your gun permit to prove eligibility of ownership. *** I am not interested in any trades at this time *** Actual Photos? But of course!
