TGO David

Because you need a better monitor.

Night sights = yes Laser = no

I'm here for the beer.

No, what you said doesn't apply. I'd thank you kindly not to presume that we are unfriendly to new people here just because we have decided to restrict access to certain areas until a person becomes more acclimated with the TGO community and vice versa. Furthermore, I'd thank you not to spread your resentment for that fact to others as though it were the "fact of the matter". TGO's members are actually some of the most friendly and welcoming to newcomers that I have ever seen on a gun forum. This applies equally to our moderators and Staff. No one here has ever told a newcomer that they weren't welcome. The reasons for the changes to the Trading Post forum have been very well explained elsewhere. I'm not going to rehash it so if you've not read it yet, please do so by clicking here and here. This is seriously the last I am going to say about this. This thread is done.

Why does everything require an explanation? We are not a business. We do not have credit card processing at our disposal. PayPal is the only way we can do this at present. Of course, we could incorporate as a business and start selling access to the forum to pay for everything that goes with being a business... but people would complain about that too.

Unfortunately we only support PayPal at this time. Sorry.

I, my wife, bnagashima and Mrs. Shima visited On Target in Murfreesboro last night after having dinner. They had a few of the XD-M's in stock and we were able to play with them a little. I really wasn't all that impressed. It felt "weird" in my hand and a little more top-heavy than the XD Tactical. It did point very naturally and I thought the factory sights were actually pretty good. The serrations on the rear blade were a nice touch and will obviously help reduce glare in sunlight. The gun is very obviously oriented towards USPSA / IDPA competition and looks like it would be a very good starting platform. With a few minor tweaks, some of my initial "bleh" reaction might turn for the better. I'm reserving absolute judgement until I get to actually fire one.

I don't know if this ever occurred to anyone... but there's always the chance that we tightened down the restrictions on access to the Trading Post forums because of "outside influences". Just saying.

There's an easy way to find out...

Well... good luck with that.

We have these things called cell phones. Exactly. Kwik, honestly your posts read about like you're just trying to do your homework to see how far you can push the envelope without ending up face first on the pavement with a cop's knee in your back, being explained your Miranda rights.

If you told me all of the above and I was in charge of security at a place where the owners had determined that you could not bring a firearm, permit or not, I would tell you that it all sounded like a personal problem to me. That's probably the answer (more or less) that you'd get from them too. Your plight isn't their problem. You carrying a firearm where the property owner has declared you shall not is their problem and that's all they are going to care about.

Security most likely will not just ask you to leave but will escort you out. If you come back in and they identify you again, you could be arrested for criminal trespass.

You realize the magnitude of the transgression that you have committed here by posting such a thread devoid of pics... right?

Did you go with IWB, OWB or a shoulder rig?

You'll get to fondle more 1911s than you can shake a ... er, um... stick at if you visit Hero Gear, though.

Facts Sale of ammunition is loosely regulated, as per Rabbi's post Rabbi still could have sold the ammo to the guy unaware if the guy had kept his mouth shut Rabbi didn't sell it to him out of good conscience and did the right thing The obvious conclusion here is that the sale of ammunition should be regulated so that you can no longer buy it without a background check ($10 TICS fee per purchase!) so that people like Rabbi won't have to decide if their own sense of ethics will guide them away from earning a buck. Hurry up and get Obama or Hillary elected so that we can remove this tremendous burden from the Rabbi!!!

More information on that forklift?

It's in Spring Hill, TN. http://owlhollowgunclub.org/

My Diesel F250 doesn't even get that bad of gas mileage. Are you driving a Winnebago there in reverse?

And I found this: So what exactly do you suppose this young lady is hunting with her suppressed AR in a wheat field? An ex husband maybe? Pheasants? Agricultural terrorists?

strickj needs a new beer ?

Fair enough. But the Glock 26 and 27 are faaaaaaat fat fat fat handguns. You're going to look like you have crammed an 8-track cassette into your pants pocket when you walk around with that thing in there. No thanks.

Meh. The price on Topgun Supply has been increased to $589.95 ... so call it $590 for practical sakes and purposes. + $590 for the gun. + $18 for shipping per their site. + $30 for an inbound FFL transfer at most places. + $10 for the TBI background check. ==== $648 total Joe's price at Hero Gear, out the door with tax, is only $60 more and you get the added advantages of supporting a TGO vendor and you get to walk out with it in your hands that very day, rather than waiting several days to a week for the one from Top Gun to arrive. I'd pay the extra $60.

Springfield is reportedly going to incorporate their new XD thumb safety into newer generations of their SC (sub compact) lines. Whether this rumor ends up being true is anyone's guess. I would really want some sort of external safety on a striker-fired handgun if I were carrying it next to the twig and berries, if you know what I mean. The old meat and potatoes. The family jewels, as it were. Or get yourself a nice small J-Frame revolver as they are perfect for pocket carry!
