One of my requirements for a carry gun is that I be able to afford (and obtain) enough ammunition to practice with that I can stay proficient with the firearm. Not only is .357 SIG harder to come by, but it's quite a bit more costly than .40SW. Both of these facts have made me steer clear of that caliber for about 15 years now.

I've made adjustments to Apache but if you know some things that we ought to be doing in http.conf fire them to me via PM. I'm not going to post things publicly about the server. Thanks.

We log all of our traffic and when an event like this occurs, there are commands that I can use at the server's shell interface to see which IPs are involved. However, most DDoS attacks involve compromised hosts that are not owned by the person doing the attacking. Which makes it a little more difficult to track back to them.

John, thanks for stopping by to post this. It really does appear that there may be some side deals being cut with the way the votes fell. People... email and call your Representatives today and tell them that you don't want HB0962 being held up any longer and that you want it passed without the age and curfew restrictions. These people work for you and it's up to you to remind them of that.

Guys, I've got very good records of when it started happening. We didn't just discover this last night; we've known about it for some time now. I finally decided to take the "social" route and offer a reward yesterday, that's why I made it public. When an investigation is ongoing, the first thing you do is not run around telling everyone that something is up. Thanks for your concern though. I'm doing my best to resolve the issue behind the scenes and we may be moving to a new web host that provides better DDoS security and is willing to cooperate in hunting down those responsible. Our current host doesn't deal very often with this type of situation and hasn't been super helpful to that end.

It is real and it's not an excuse made up by the web host. What other forums have been hit lately?

Overly expensive when compared to similar firearms. High bore axis makes muzzle flip a little more pronounced. "HK Tax" on accessories such as mags, gear, etc. Other than that... nope, no bad things to say about them.

Nice blaster. I have to say, based on the number of high-end 1911s that you have posted over the past year you either have the most understanding wife or you're a seriously single guy.

Guys, if he lives in another state then it has to go through an FFL. Let's not have any of this sneaky "the less they know" crap since it's essentially advocating an illegal act. We don't need that sort of nonsense on TGO. We do it above board here or we don't do it.

Makes me want an orange dreamsicle.

He's using one of the canned avatars that I put together for TGO back when I first launched the site. It's a Speer Gold Dot. I wasn't sure at first but I found the original photo on my hard drive.

I'd be afraid that a street cone would try to hump my rifle.

1,000 rounds hasn't even broken in a USP as far as I've ever seen. The round count wouldn't scare me at all and sure, it would be an excellent carry weapon provided that you shoot it well and it feels comfortable to you. I'm not sure if that price sets well with me or not but those handguns do command quite a premium even on Gunbroker. I see them listed there in the $900 range new.

Reportedly the US Army mounted cavalry originally tied their grip safeties down with strips of rawhide, much to the chagrin of JMB. You could always do that, but I wouldn't recommend it. Sorry, just a bit of useless gun trivia for you.

This is destined to become an SNL skit.

I could definitely give it a shot. I'm probably going to pick up a HVLP detail spray gun sometime soon and use that on some old AR15 furniture that I have laying around. I think that style of gun will provide even better coverage. Sooner or later I want to try Duracoating a complete firearm and baking it in the oven. I'd like to find some slag frames or slides to try it on first though.

I just ordered 4oz of the Pink Lady coating this last time but have some matte black in storage. I need to order more of their reducer and hardening agent before I can do more spraying but plan to do it soon. What colors were you looking for?

There's nothing worse than having a girl with a pink gun out-shoot a guy with funny jokes.

Apparently one of the photos and a few comments made in this thread have gained some notoriety and are creating a bit of a stir with the purveyor of said HCP badges and permit-carrying pouches. I received a fairly lengthy PM this afternoon from said person regarding the photo and replies. If any of you also have received PMs from this person, please forward them to me for inclusion in our response. I'm assembling a packet of information for review (and reply from) legal counsel if necessary. Thanks.

I'm telling you... the outbreak has already begun. Someone over there keeps electing members of the Ford family to office so how else can you explain it?

Welcome. It appears that Memphis is preparing itself for the impending zombie apocalypse. Nice!

TGO hats are good for that. The upcoming TGO polo shirts work good also.

Thanks. I tell people all the time that my old 3913 was the one of the best 9mm that I have ever owned. I was elated to find this 3914 down at Hero Gear and would have bought it for myself had my wife not taken to it.

I don't think it turned out too bad for my first time using Duracoat. I may change the recipe a bit the next time I do a set of grips as there are some things that I want to try to see if I can achieve a better finish. One trick that I learned was to reduce the air pressure a bit to get a "spattering" effect to create a slightly rougher texture. I didn't want the grips to turn out slick, so a little added texture was a bonus. We're going to give it a few weeks to fully cure before she takes it shooting again.
