TGO David

I really need to do a ride-along with you one of these days. I've got a few neighbors I'd help you shoot. But seriously... a ride-along would ROCK. (PM me more about this unruly neighbor. I like to know who the knife-wielding assclowns on my street are.)

I'm sorry to hear this. Knock their dust off of your shoes and start heading toward the next bigger, better thing.

Am I happy to see this or is that just a suppressor in my pocket?

Shooting from a moving vehicle in our beloved Smyrna?!? We never had problems like this until Dunkin Donuts came to town.

I had the open style on my XD Tactical 9mm and had no problems out of it. If you remove the fiber rod from the sight blade before you clean the gun, you don't have to worry about solvents ruining the light transmission qualities of the rod. The sight came with several interchangeable rods, also. Two red, two green and one solid white. In the past I had the enclosed style on my previous M&P 40. It wasn't as bright as the open style, but it held up fine against cleaning solvents and abuse. Installing either of these should ideally be done with a sight press. You can get by with a delrin drift punch if you're careful. Accuracy will be about the same as what you have with your factory sights. Hi-Viz generally machines their sight blades to be the same height as OEM.

As the old saying goes... when in doubt, there is no doubt. Your employer basically told you to start looking because very soon you're going to get your official notice. Consider it a professional courtesy and get humping on finding another job. I know you're already in this mindset but I'm just throwing it out there in vague generalities in case anyone else may find themselves in similar circumstances soon and happen across this thread. Employers don't warn you in vague terms about layoffs unless they are trying to "tell you without telling you" that something is about to happen. Hang in there man.

FWIW, I use Comcast at home and have turned off all of the anti-spam settings in my Comcast mail account and still don't get TGO notices when I tell the forum to send them to my Comcast address. My gmail address always works. Comcast's email filtering is draconian. There are too many good, free email alternatives out there for someone to seriously consider wasting their time trying to twiddle with the Comcast settings. Then again, some people love a challenge and would try to ice skate uphill.

Maybe call them up?

Now is the time for us all to commence "Sharing In Our Success" ... Who wants to go first?

Are you a Rager or just an Unhappy Customer of the USAF? To better serve you, our USAF friends will need to qualify which you are so that they can most efficiently compose an email addressing your particular type of discontent.

You're going to need to pick the home state of residence for the LLC and then in the other state file for "alien" status with the Dept of State. For example, if you register the LLC in Georgia and wish to conduct business in TN, you would fine for alien status with the state of Tennessee. You probably have figured that out by now if you've already looked at the online tools like Legal Zoom. If you don't get any help from the folks here on TGO, I'd contact the Chamber of Commerce in your area and see if they can recommend a lawyer or counseling service that works with small businesses. Many areas have them.

Why hang out at Starbucks drinking a cup of coffee from Hardees? We're pretty proud of what we've put together here at TGO. If someone wants to advertise for another forum, they are always welcome to apply for Vendor status and we'll take it into consideration. Not saying we'd do it... just saying we'd consider it.

You guys should just have Eddie stand on a pillar at SHOT and let that be the Hero Gear display. At the unveiling, 3 of 4 women present will likely need cigarettes, 1 of 4 will immediately bear children, and being within such close proximity, Cuba will likely surrender and become the 51st State. Hell I got all tingly just writing that.

I'm so tactical that I've been hiding in this thread since July and you bishes didn't even see me there. I could've cut all of you.

You know... I've noticed that Eddie (Mr. I Put The Sexy In Tactical) has been absent a lot lately. Wasn't he at this shoot also?

What's the arc from in this shot?

You are not a moderator. Leave the moderating to those of us who are. In the future if you feel that something like this needs to be addressed, click on the button beneath the post in question to report that post to the moderator team and we'll look into it. It's not your place to address it with the member in question. In this case I see no reason to bother; the signature quote is bigoted in any way. Jew is a concatenated form of the word Jewish, not a slur.

As a 1911 aficionado and owner of combat tupperware, I must respectfully disagree with this statement. My Wilson Pro commander bobtail is no more comfortable than my Glock 19 when carried IWB in the same style of holster. The Glock 19 probably has the advantage. I agree with everything else you said, though.

1. Absolutely not. 2. Definitely. What make/model handgun is that?

Why would a person want a Corvette when a Chevette will get you from point A to point B also?

Frankly I think that a CDMA iPhone would suck. Verizon's strength is in their signal availability. They really don't do much else better than their competition. That's easy: Don't develop to Microsoft standards. I'm glad that the world is finally telling Microsoft to take their non-standard code and stick it. IE8 shows promise, but FireFox remains my favorite.

CGun, I think you need to visit our Code of Conduct and read it again. Specifically rule #3. Members should treat each other as they would like to be treated themselves. Name calling, flame posts, racial slurs, and other insulting remarks meant to cause conflict will not be tolerated. You should always try to maintain good fellowship with the other members of this community and be respectful to your fellow shooting enthusiasts whether they are new shooters or seasoned veterans. So far your posts in this thread have been rife with condescension and sarcastic remarks. If you wan to contribute something worthwhile to the thread, please do. However if you can't get along with the other members, you will be removed from the site. Thanks.

Yeah I tried Opera on my Curve once. It was a little better than the built in browser, but still not as nice as the iPhone. I tell you though, my biggest beef with the iPhone is the lack of an externally replaceable battery pack. Apple's obsession with tiny seam-free devices is nifty when you're talking about an iPod, but a smart-phone really needs to have a battery pack that can be changed out on the fly. Especially when the phone chews through a battery's charge as fast as the iPhone does on the 3G data network. If I get an iPhone like I'm planning, I will have to pick up something like this: http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2009/01/01/review-incase-power-slider-battery-backup-case What's another $100 when you're already paying out the nose for the service?

I promise I'm not being argumentative, though. Maybe you can "tweak" a Blackberry's browser so that pages actually look right on them. If that's possible, I'd stick with Verizon instead of moving to an iPhone with AT&T. Anyone?

I don't know where you saw a Storm that had a browser even remotely comparable to Safari on the iPhone. I've been living with the Curve for about a year now and demo'd a Storm recently just to see if it would work for me and keep me from having to leave Verizon. From what I saw, it still choked bad on sites that use common CSS tricks, DHTML and Ajax. Safari presents a web page closer to the way the page's author intended. Blackberry's browser presents the page to you the way that RIM thinks it should look. The two are night and day apart.
