It's a pretty big loss of face for them to have made that mistake. No big deal to you, kind of mortifying to them. You have a good group of testers here, I suspect. I'm looking forward to see what comes of the relationship.

Just for the record, any cows tipped with the aid of electronic devices only count for 1/3 score. That's from the 2003 edition of the rules, so they may have changed things in the meantime...

I was looking to see if the 84 or 85 models could also be converted with a donor barrel, just for the sake of curiosity. But so far I don't think there's a barrel source...

No wonder the .32 is such a sweetheart.

@xtriggerman, this doesn't require a stouter recoil spring?

@Chucktshoes thought you might like to see these. Crime info from City of Bloomington: https://www.bloomingtonmn.gov/pd/arrest-reports-statistics-and-crime-map Click "event" in the left bar to see the symbology and toggle types of incidents (i.e., disorderly conduct): https://communitycrimemap.com/?address=Bloomington,MN&crimeTypes=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,20,22,24,25]&startDate=30&endDate=1&zoom=13

And for giggles leave your goggles home.

I think they're doing okay in Bloomington, but I'm on the north end of the Metro area and generally stay up here. They do have lots of pretty good options for food, so I can imagine that would be pretty appealing. Be sure to check their hours and curbside delivery options and whatnot, obviously. I know they delayed the reopening due to all the protests, but they did reopen. If you can get there, Atomic Tactical in Savage are pretty good people. I used to shop there a bit when they were on Lyndale (I think it was), but haven't since they moved.

Man, I was hoping they would!

Thanks for the link Doug! @bersaguy I'm in the suburbs now, used to live in Minneapolis when I was younger and singler. That city is a source of so much stuff to smile at...

Deep, deep concealment...

Plus, YOU NEVER HAVE TO RELOAD!!

My favorite small game gun is a .22lr target pistol. And they're great for learning/ checking/ brushing up/ reinforcing your fundamentals. When shooting a .22 I generally know if and what I've done wrong before the gun goes off.

I was thinking on the job training, mafia style.

I really want then to neck this up to about .25 caliber. That would make my giggle but I couldn't tell you why, exactly.

One other consideration is that the TCM is centerfire while the others are rimfire. If you're hunting much in a place/ season that prohibits using a centerfire, the TCM won't be much use.

I actually would like to see a requirement that all FFL holders (not just pawn shops) run the serial number of used firearms in their inventory through a stolen firearms database, and report any that are flagged. It wouldn't be a perfect solution, but it might help get some stolen firearms back to their owners.

Other questions that come to mind: What other advice did this instructor give? Was the rest of it better than the advice in question, or worse? Might be worth your girlfriend and the others taking a class from a different instructor...

But also that the law where the recording device is located would apply, and also that the law where the person being recorded is located might be applied. (That's all from paragraph 3.)

Buy a second knife, send each one back to Benchmade once a year so you have a fresh edge about every six months.

I was sure you were going to go with some variation of "Guys, I was just kidding about women voting. That Karen thing really is offensive though, please stop." I woulda lost money on that bet...

I thought we were supposed to respect our wives and daughters??

Yeah, I'd chalk this one up as user error more than a defective product. If you're inattentive and overconfident, this happens pretty easily.
