TGO David

I love my J-frame in situations like this. Pocket carry is perfect when you don't want people spotting your firearm. But to answer your question with a question, what do you hope to accomplish by bringing this to the NRA's attention?

The Ronin Group is a holding company under which I operate several different ventures. My IT consulting venture operates under the company name Nashville IT Pros. I haven't finished transitioning everything over to the new site, so the Ronin Group page is a little outdated at the moment. Yes, this one has the Pic rail. I like the look, but honestly I don't think the Pic rail offers any real advantage on a sidearm over the standard rail.

I have been eying this handgun for a few days now every time I've visited Chris Barret's The Outpost store. Today I took my father in law down there for a visit and I decided that I needed to do my part to stimulate the economy. This is also the first firearm that I have bought since venturing out and establishing my own company, so it's a bit of a reward for my work to date. As you can see it is a Glock 21SF full sized .45ACP carrying 13 rds per mag. Off to the side you will spot one of the new TGO business cards that I had made up and have been leaving with a few of the local gun shops. I have some Ameriglo Tactical Operator tritium sights that I swapped off of my Glock 19 in favor of some Warren Tacticals, so I plan to install them on the 21SF soon. Anyway, just wanted to share the joy! PS: Mr. Nagashima is somewhat to blame for this since he stopped by this morning and let me handle his new Glock 21. I took that as a sign from God that I needed to go get one since it felt right in my hands.

This dissection of semantics is beyond silly. Considering that not many people on a web forum give that much thought to the words they choose when expressing a thought, you are choosing to read an incredible amount of assumed implication into the things written here. The proper terminology would be that some of us prefer to INFORM the officer of our HCP and carry status. I am neither ashamed of my armed status nor am I doing something wrong by carrying. I just prefer to get that part of the discovery process out of the way so that the officer can do his job without any surprises that might be unpleasant to him. I swear, sometimes I think we'd all just as soon argue about what color the sky is.

I stopped by Bellshire this past week and met Phil. He doesn't have guns on display in the store but said he often has a few locked away in their safe. Most of his gun business seems to be done online, hence his willingness to do FFL transfers for not a whole lot of money. I believe that Chris B. told me that The Outpost is going to charge $25-ish for their transfers, but please don't hold me to that. I know he was stunned that On Target charges $50 now.

Read the post right above yours. He just said he got it back from Glock having been sent off for repairs.

I just hope they are subtitled in British.

So you're saying that the AR is better suited for when I start digging foxholes in my front yard to repel the Government from taking all of my guns?!? I'm such a jackass before I have my coffee.

Duplicate thread.

Nah, Milwaukee Beast gives you the Schlitz.

Well, I had some pizza the other night that gave me a good case of the scheelites the next day.

Let's do this, then! We'll road-trip tomorrow and you can buy an AR and I'll buy an AK. Two divided households so close together could easily bring about the apocalypse.

Awesome! I'd have to start calling you "Poak, that guy who used to be here but got banned a while back."

But... but... your tree stump. It won't get the attention it needs if you don't have to re-mold the holster! ( I predict you're not going to let me forget about this for a very long time, amiright? )

Saiga converted by Arsenal.

I came really close to getting a Russian model today. Just couldn't bring myself to "pull the trigger" if you will pardon the pun. I may end up with one soon but right now I'm still clearly on the fence about it. Can a man really serve two masters? AR15 and an AK47 in the same house??

Sure. That guy was a complete douche. Who cares about him!

I hate to make an announcement about something so silly, but I have decided to depart from using "Tungsten" as my screen name and from this point forward just be known as TGO David. Screen names definitely provide a little bit of anonymity which can be a great thing for folks in certain lines of work. I strongly advocate the use of them when you don't want your online identity being correlated with your real world identity for safety or security reasons. But for me, it's kind of silly. Everyone knows who I am and frankly I have found it a bit awkward in professional settings telling people that I am "Tungsten on TGO". Just thought I should mention why I changed my name here since these types of things usually spawn a bunch of comments from members.

My wife, an RN, just told me that it is a Federal law that defibrillators HAVE to be checked each and every day and logged as such. If someone has been forging the signatures on the logs, then there is an even more massive chance for a lawsuit here. Her family needs to get a good attorney.

Sounds like her family should be able to sue the pants off the hospital for this one. That certainly doesn't bring her back, but the hospital needs to be held accountable for their negligence.

Still one of the most awesome Man-Mugs that I have ever seen.

I knew I was missing the obvious!

I was wondering if anyone would appreciate the humor in that.

Yes, quite a bit of it actually. PMC and Magtech, maybe some Wolf. I don't recall what the pricing was however.

They aren't evil black rifles... they're HDRs. So explain to me why I would want to add one of these to my collection. I've always been an AR fanatic and never really found much about the AK that lit my fire, but lately I'm really getting the urge for one again. I don't know if it's the allure of affordable shooting (which may go away if the Obama Administration outlaws the importation of foreign ammo) or if it's the fact that someone in the government thinks that I shouldn't be able to own one (which has been going on since the 1980's so that's not a new concern) or if it's just the fact that I think that my American Yin needs a little Communist Yang for balance. Whatever it is, I keep finding myself looking at them lustfully in gun shops and online. What are some really GOOD reasons for owning an AK? And do I want the AK-47 so that I can shoot the big nasty 7.62x39 or do I want the AK-74 so that I can be shoot something a little smaller, lighter and faster in the 5.54x39? Help me figure this out. I'm feeling the urge to splurge and this time I think it's going to be a hot little Soviet number.
