TGO David

My belief is that the day of the "bricks and mortar club meeting" is on it's decline. The Internet makes meeting with others infinitely easier and forums such as TGO provide a place where it can happen 24/7 without respect for geography or personal schedules. There will always be a place for in-person get togethers but everything else has already been supplanted by the electronic medium. Just my $0.02 worth on it.

From their page... I wonder why. FMJ generally works just fine in polygonal barrels. It's unjacketed lead that doesn't do so well.

Have any of you seen this before? http://www.vcdl.org/Tonys/mcpd.html VERY interesting reading material. It really drives home the fact that, as others here have stated before, the Law is whatever the Police say it is at the moment and you're often left to spend a lot of money to prove otherwise after the fact.

Want to meet for dinner somewhere before hand? I'm still planning on being there.

Hey... what did Vitamin J ever do to deserve that tie-in? Mmmm... Nurse, set me up with another round!

I'm a 1911 guy at heart and I loved my M&P 40. I sold it so that I could pick up an M&P 9mm "Pro" once they get off their butts and release it. The Pro is supposed to be analogous to the Glock 34. Long slide, long barrel, 9mm. Still though, Julie Goloski doesn't seem to be hampered any by the 4" 9mm although I'd be curious to see what her hardware recipe is. Light loads, light spring, heavy guide rod perhaps? Anyway, the M&P just felt right to me. Give it a try; you might really like it as well.

I've shot a few USPSA events and loved it. I need to get back into it as I've grown lax and not kept track of what weekend was approaching and made preparations to attend. That's 100% my own fault. It may not be "training" but it is great at reinforcing the basics of handgun control and gives you an excellent chance to learn to shoot (and think!!!) on the move.

Regarding the stock car advertising... I understood the intended purpose as you stated it also, but I thought it was a silly waste of money that could have been more efficiently applied to advertising in other ways. I may be entirely wrong and entirely underestimating the ratio of gun owners to stock car racing fans... but it just seemed like a shot in the dark, no pun intended. Regardless... I really wish the TFA would get some traction here in Nashville.

I like my plastic pistols to be more of the Rubbermaid lineage.

I bet it tames the muzzle flip quite a bit. Very cool.

Len don't forget that part of our dues were recently being considered for use advertising on some local stock-car driver's hood.

I'm not much on the whole conspiracy theory thing. While they sometimes are fun forms of "mental masturbation" and an enjoyable bit of fantasy... they also often end up making the people who really believe them look like ninnies. I used to work with a guy who swore til his death bed that the government was putting mind control gas in jet airliner contrails.

Hello and welcome. I'm guessing your weapon of choice is the Glock 23C. I'm a reformed Glock 23 owner... but I still have a huge soft spot in my heart for them. How do you like the Compensated model?

That's going to hurt the ole corporate pocket book.

I never thought I'd have to do this, but then again I never imagined that we would have to entertain someone like yourself either. So allow me to invite you to LEAVE and never come back if you think that this site sucks so much. Your continued presence here is unwanted and honestly brings nothing to the table. 600 other members of TGO think that the site is worthwhile, so that puts you squarely in the minority. I'm sure that you can occupy your time elsewhere so I would encourage you to begin doing so before the decision becomes mandatory. The door is that way. Don't let it hit you.

That P-13 was a hoot to fire. I was surprised at how different it felt from a traditional 1911 even though I went into it fully cognizant of the double-stack design. It's a double fisted gun for sure.

John really doesn't have the time to drive the Nashville chapter. That's why he is looking for someone who will take the ball and run with it. I can feel his pain as there are a lot of things I'd like to be actively involved in, but I simply don't have the time with all of the other stuff going on in my life. Ideally whomever takes the reigns on this will either be unmarried or of retirement age, as family obligations always will take precedence over fraternal organizations. Oh well... just rambling.

That article linked in the original post of this thread indicates that Glock chambers are oversized slightly.

I will make an attempt to attend but this will be my last such attempt if the group doesn't seem to have any sense of direction or purpose. I'm pretty ticked that I paid for a membership but I won't be renewing unless things are dramatically different a year from now. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Verbal's a Kentucky native lost in Virginia, so he's uptight and likes to stir up trouble. UK (Kentucky) doesn't have much of a football team. It just gives the school something to do until basketball season gets here.

Is the gun show in LaVergne the weekend of the 22nd? I thought it was the 29th. Edit.. it is the 29th...

I don't foresee this thread going well.

Jesus man... What lead up to all of this? Or would you rather not say?

Right then. That was rather sporting of you. {/cheesy fake British accent} Sorry, just wanted to be able to say it.

@ "when your shoot falls through..." You're jinxing us, man! Winchester is almost at the foot of Mont Eagle, on I-24 headed toward (or away from) Chattanooga.
