This is a trademark SIG issue. Every SIG that I have owned has had this problem to one degree or another.

Guys... let's keep this thread on track. I admit, I got a chuckle as well when I read the thread title, but the author of the thread clearly intended to share valuable information about preserving your trophies and we all need to respect that.

ATF pays attention to gun shows because there are certain requirements that must be met in order to host them. Hero Gear's Class III status really doesn't even come into play. In fact, it was never even brought up.

If you've got some handy. Guns, maybe? Actually the Agent that I spoke with this morning was a pretty cool guy. Good sense of humor. Knew your name.

Today, M&P 40 in MTAC. I'm starting to see a pattern here.

Spent the day with Joe looking over the event venue, taking pictures of the venue, and speaking with ATF agents. Everything is a go and we're still set to kick off on December 12th. I'll post some pictures of the facility's insides tomorrow.

I spoke with the office staff at RK yesterday. This is the last show at Smyrna's Expo. The facility has been sold.

I did some research. Apparently there is a kit composed of some P2000 and USP parts that make a direct fit for installing the LEM system into the HK45. You can send your complete firearm to HKUSA and have them do the work for close to $200 w/S&H. Crazy high price. Ordering the parts kit and doing it yourself seems to be a no-brainer. I did the light LEM conversion on a P2000 so it's not rocket surgery. Speaking of, there are also apparently a half dozen or so variations of the LEM system. Off the top of my head... Regular LEM Intermediate LEM Light LEM Combat LEM Competition LEM Two parts vodka one part lime LEM... er, wait...

I'll do some asking around but in the meantime perhaps someone with firsthand knowledge will chime in. Just to be clear, you're wondering about the Country Music Hall of Fame and a place called Cha Cha (sp).

Believe it or not, the one thing I'm not super crazy about with the HK45 is the thumb safety. I kind of wish it didn't have that. Maybe just a decocker button on the back of the slide, like the P2000 has.

This can't be for the CIS booth... Todd always shows plenty of leg in his 5.11 shorts.

I'm not carrying it at all since I don't have a rig for it yet, but no I will be carrying it with the hammer down in DA mode.

I've toyed with the idea of doing the LEM conversion to the HK45. It's easy to swap back if I don't like it. Only problem is, I had a P2000 with the LEM trigger a few years ago and pretty much hated it. Who knows... I might give it a try again.

How about "population centers" since that might be a better term. Nashville, TN Chattanooga, TN Huntsville, AL Further out... Knoxville, TN Memphis, TN Towns in Northern Georgia Towns in Northern Alabama

Yes, actually I was speaking with a member about this at the last FNRA dinner and it is on my list of things to do. My really long list of things to do.

How did you come to that conclusion?

The 3913 and 3914 models are awesome for concealed carry. I had one years ago and beat myself up every time I think about the fact that I had a moment of complete idiocy and let it go. My wife now owns a 3914 and she loves it. Hell, I love it. The problem is, she won't let me carry it because it's hers.

M&P 40 this morning in a Raven Concealment Systems Phantom OWB holster, covered with a t-shirt. Took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood and didn't want to be bothered with an IWB rig.

I don't think that will take long enough.

I'm working on a web site for the event but once it's done, we will announce more details.

Ah yes... that picture became known as "The Day Before Sean Connery Axe Murdered His Agent and His Agent's Whole Family"

Initial thoughts... I don't have to look very far to find people affected by the economy. I just have to look across the living room and consider that my wife is still working 40+ hours a week when our original plan was for her to be a stay at home mom by now. Those plans were erased when I lost my job in January, and sometimes those $20 here, $35 there Benefactor contributions fill in the gaps when my business venture is slow. Ideally this suggestion would have been submitted to me privately rather than posted out in the open for summary decision by the members of TGO. At this point, regardless of what other considerations there might be, I either have to go along with some variation of this or I end up looking like a complete douchebag. Anyone here who works a steady 40hr a week job and gets a regular paycheck is probably making more than I am right now. But I'll think it over.

An excellent case for bringing back death by burning at the stake.

Smitty... Right now we're having to maximize the dollars we have at our disposal so we're going to do it in the mid-state region since it is equally distant for the greatest percentage of Tennesseeans.

Really? Both Len and I thought we saw you. Very cool that you are willing to help someone in need. I look forward to the day things are going well enough for you to do the same for yourself.
