  1. 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.
  2.

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.” ....

  3. I had a Fury for my VP9. It was very similar to the Phantom.
  4. Well THAT is going to be conveniently located.
  5. 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
  6. This would be a good topic for a separate thread. Splitting it off...
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. @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.
  10. 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.
  11. That's the best use of a Dodge Omni that I have seen in a very long time.
  12. 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...
  13. 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.
  14. They can have him.
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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.
  18. I've spent time in Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Ouray, Silverton and passed through Durango. I'd say my favorite parts were in San Juan mountains but Fort Collins was nice.
  19. As to points #1 and #2... plenty. Especially on Broadway in downtown Nashville around all of the tourist traps. As to point #3... you'd have to go ask them. I get the impression that a vast majority of them are bachelorette parties since Nashville has become a Bachelorette Party Destination. What part of Colorado are you from? CO is one of my favorite states and on the short list of places I'd move, but y'all have been letting a few too many Californian trust-fund babies into Vale and they're swinging your political spectrum a little too left-of-center for me.
  20. We severed ties with Tapatalk quite a while ago. We aren't on the Tapatalk network anymore.
  21. I had to Google it based off the pic's name. No idea who he is but he seems solid given that he skipped the Mini-14 and went for the two AR pistols. I hope he doesn't fire off a string and grab that one by the barrel and gas tube though. That would hurt.
  22. Maybe one day!
  23. Your lshelxxxxxx@blo#####.net address had been suppressed on our side because previous attempts to email to it had "bounced". Meaning your mail server told our mail server that your address was bad. I've unblocked it and you should be good to go. Send me an email at david at tngunowners dot com if you want, and include your desired password, and I will reset it for you and then we can delete this account.
  24. That's what the comp is for.
  25. A recent glimpse at the slow, methodical evolution of the gun. Still no phone added to it, though.
