I don't know if Uber and Lyft have "territories" or not but I suspect that a person can make a good amount of money off of them working the airport area, or downtown Nashville, or both. My office is right near the airport and we see Uber and Lyft dropping off and picking up at our building all day, every day. It's like a rotating door.

I have honestly been thinking about picking one of these up. I'm not entirely sure what the use case is going to be for me, given that I have no problem carrying my M&P M2.0 Compact with RMR, and that I have an M&P Shield 9mm for even more discrete carry. BUT... it has been an enticing, recurring thought none the less.

One of my most favorite Christmas movies of all times!

I'm down with this. Sicario Santa says Hola.

That scenery!!!

On behalf of myself and the rest of the TGO Staff, I want to wish all of you an early but very Happy Thanksgiving. I am sure that I will be online some tomorrow but, like many of you, I hope to be spending more time with family and food and less time with the Internet on Thanksgiving itself. I hope that each of you have an enjoyable and relaxing holiday. If you are working, I hope that you are in the company of people who you truly enjoy being around. If you are alone, I hope that it is by choice. Regardless of which situation you find yourself in, I hope that you will spend some time thinking about the blessings you have in life even if it is just the continued breath in your lungs. Oh, and if you're out and about on Black Friday, please be a decent human being and turn your phone horizontally if you video-record any riots for cheap televisions and other garbage that people don't really need. Nothing is worse than watching a video recorded in portrait mode.

This is probably the best thing you will see on the Internet tonight.

My wife said it best the other day, when she and I were discussing this: The Left has abandoned anything near-centrist. They have stopped trying to hide the evil methods bu which they have been trying to sneak evil agendas into fruition over the past six-decades (give or take) and are now just putting it all out in the open. They can finally do that because society's morals and ethics are no longer moral or ethical and are now based entirely on self-gain, self-promotion, and all other manner of self-centric ideals and objectives. The greater good is no longer esteemed.

Meh. I'll offer two possibilities: 1.) Maybe he is? GOOD. The GOP is rotten and needs to be destroyed and rebuilt or replaced with something truly conservative. 2.) Maybe he isn't? Maybe you're just disenfranchised or are speaking with Republicans who are? The Republican voters that I know love what he's doing.

Epstein Updated Nov. 9, 2018 3:02 p.m. ET WASHINGTON—Democrats say they will pass the most aggressive gun-control legislation in decades when they become the House majority in January, plans they renewed this week in the aftermath of a mass killing in a California bar. Their efforts will be spurred by an incoming class of pro-gun-control lawmakers who scored big in Tuesday’s midterm elections, although any measure would likely meet stiff resistance in the GOP-controlled Senate. Democrats ousted at least 15 House Republicans with “A” National Rifle Association ratings, while the candidates elected to replace them all scored an “F” NRA rating. “This new majority is not going to be afraid of our shadow,” said Mike Thompson, a California Democrat who is chairman of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. “We know that we’ve been elected to do a job, and we’re going to do it.” ....

I had a Fury for my VP9. It was very similar to the Phantom.

Well THAT is going to be conveniently located.

Glocks are reliable but anything mechanical is going to have wear over time. Parts I keep around: Spare recoil rod/spring assembly Spare trigger return spring Spare striker assembly with spring and spring cups Spare frame pins

This would be a good topic for a separate thread. Splitting it off...

I will add... my Gen 5 frame is going out for stippling as soon as the guy I prefer to use has his books open again. I want it to be as grippy as my M&P M2.0 grips are.

I would pick up a new Gen 4 and call it a day. I have all of the Gens from 1-5 and the 4th Gen is still my favorite. The lack of finger groves on the Gen 5 isn't really a plus, in my opinion, as the RTF texture still isn't rough enough and the finger grooves on the Gen 4 actually help you get a more secure grip on it. Again, my opinion. The nDLC finish on the Gen 5 slide is nice but it's also super slick. The Gen 5 needs front cocking serrations because of that. I've got a scar on my left hand as evidence of this, from where my had was slightly damp from sweat on the range and slid off the slide and across the rear sight, violently, while chambering a round between strings of fire. The average Joe may never encounter that problem, but Murphy's Law is a bitch. As for ordering a new barrel for a Gen 5... I have to ask: WHY? The Gen 5 barrel is purportedly an improvement over past Gens, and has an obvious crown to the barrel to protect the rifling. I have found it and any of the other Gen G19s that I have to be more accurate than I am at combat distances. Not once have I shot a Glock 19 and thought, "This damn thing needs a more accurate barrel". Just some honest thoughts on the subject.

@Tiffany Johnson very glad to hear that you and the students had a safe and very productive class! I saw some of the photos you guys posted on the Citizen Safety Academy Instagram feed and it looked like everyone had a great time and you all had some fantastic shooters in the class.

Really, watching him lash out at the INGO members who were basically asking the same questions about his presence is what told me it was time to preemptively snipe his account. No sense giving him a chance to lash out at our members the same way.

That's the best use of a Dodge Omni that I have seen in a very long time.

I debated it for this very reason alone and even told MacGyver, "He's generating traffic, at least". BUT... I felt like the account was questionable at best when I figured out the screen name was a sniper character in a video game and that he was posting almost verbatim the same threads over on INGO but with about a 2-week head start there. Their users seemed to be getting tired of him for some of the same reasons we were skeptical here. I figured it's foolish to watch someone make a mistake and then not learn from it and avoid it, so...

I can pretty much guarantee that I won't install Tapatalk on TGO ever again. Not only was it an immense hindrance when it came time to update our software, but on at least one forum software it was found to be accessing users' private messages and sending private messages and spamming them for advertisers within the Tapatalk network that weren't advertising on any particular forum. We just won't tolerate that.

They can have him.

After reading a few threads over on INGO, it looks like they're slow to ban. I'm going go with the fact this guy isn't a member under this name on RMGO (Rocky Mtn Gun Owners) and the only two places he's surfaced are here and INGO, and just cut bait. @MacGyver, I owe you a cup of coffee.

Ol' Karl signed up for an account in INGO a few days before signing up here and is a prolific contributor there as well... https://www.ingunowners.com/forums/members/karl+fairburne.html

I wonder if he could at all make a holster for my M&P 2.0 Compact with TLR7 and RMR. I'd think the molding for that would be challenging in a leather holster, but man I bet it would be comfortable.
