I'll be sure to stop in next time I am up there.

I had a bid on a Jericho in .45. I thought it went too high and let it slip away, very bad decision on my part.

Are they still a full service store? So glad they are still open!

Nice looking piece. I've never carried appendix and don't carry IWB anymore due to the spare tire. I do however have the same irrational fear of striker fired no manual safety pistols. I have one, but doubt I'll carry it ever. It was an impulse buy at a pawn shop. I have a thing for Taurus .45s so I just bought it. The trigger is absolutely terrible. I'm sure I could get used to it but I'll stick with my SA/DA or a 1911 pattern. So how is the trigger on your 92?

That's pretty! I'm a sucker for unfluted cylinder revolvers.

Memphis gun referendum is too long.
papa61 replied to Grayfox54's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Guessing Memphis is about to be slapped like Nashville was a few months back. I've noticed the news dropped that fight from their daily load of crap. Having studied past case law regarding constitutionally guaranteed right, federal case law says you may not attach a fee or tax to any right. Case was regarding poll taxes and tests. Damned shame no one has ever applied this to carry bans/permits. I was on my way when the judge decided to back down. I didn't pursue it because my lawyer said it would be more expense than I could afford. yeah, with two of my divorces I've seen some real POS judges. Can't say all are bad, just the few I've dealt with on those issues. -
The list is long and I'm not a wealthy man. But here are the top of the list. for a shotgun, a high quality coach gun rifle, Preferably Marlin 45-70 16-18 inch big loop lever gun pistol is where it gets rough, Stainless P14.45, Taurus duo tone 1911 are the most wanted at the moment. Working on collecting as many models of Tarus 45 I can. started with a 945, have three at the moment and looking.

Traded for an RIA .45. Have not gotten to the range with it yet but expect it to be a good shooter. If you want a brass throwing machine, you'll have to run a mag or two through a Firestar. I used to shoot at On Target and when I had the Firestar I'd go into the corner lane to keep from annoying anyone else. Learned to stand in a certain spot to keep from getting hit in the side of the head by rebounding brass. They'd bounce off the end wall then the back wall and hit me in the back.

Bay City Rollers? Village People? LOL

I had to look this one up, never seen nor heard of the builder. I don't think it's ugly. Not my style though. I would drop the flat trigger and optic. And it is in the wrong caliber

I was confident of the 30-30 Now I have to check my stash of 20ga! -
This is on our list of things we both want to do. My wife and I neither like being apart. We don't do a lot but we do it together. It works for us, she will go to the range or gun show with me even though she has no interest in either. Luckily, neither of us likes the beach and we both love the mountains. If we were in better shape I'm sure we'd do a lot of hiking. But whatever works for you is what you should do. Everyone is different so every couple is different.

I didn't get to see Skynyrd but I did catch Rosington Collins.

It's not my taste in music and I don't really like concerts, could count the number I've been to on one hand. But Fleetwood Mac was among them, along with Springsteen on the River tour. Now HE put on a show.
-
Strictly Fleetwood Mac. Or AC/DC depending on the date.

Timmy has been gone for a while. His loss left me devastated and Matilda lonely. I didn't want to get another but there was a hole that needed filled. We drove 200miles each way to Hamilton Mississippi to get Snoopy. He is 16 months and smaller than Matilda but he is as sweet as any pup could ever be. He has latched onto me and I am very pleased. He and Matilda got to play outside together for tha first time today and they wrestled and played quite well. I have prayed for 10 days while keeping a gate between them and can say God is great. He is rarely far enough away for me to get a good pic but his coloring mimics our Timmy. I am amazed that he bonded with me so quickly. He has put on a little weight and is doing fabulous. pic inside is what I usually see when I move, even a little LOL
-
I am so sorry. I know exactly how you feel. We lost Timmy a few months back and I was devastated. He was happy and content until the end and didn't acknowledge any pain until the very last day. I am sorry I read the title and with all the celeb deaths I didn't realize it was your Ginger until I searched for the dogs of TGO post. May Ginger and Timmy rest in peace and may God give you his peace.

WAY too far for me. Pretty good haul for you even.

I agree with @Grayfox54 about going if I have nothing better to do. Most often what I am looking for won't be found at the shows. I try to go to at least one RK and one Great American each year. The show in Murfreesboro was cancelled and I couldn't make it to Franklin last go around but no big deal. I do hope to get to Lafayette for the show there. It was small last time I went but that's fine. I don't like the packed in no room to walk shows and tend to spend very little time in those. Typically RK has more room to manuver IIRC. GA has more non gun stuff. The redeeming quality is finding unobtainum magazines or ammo.

...if it bit you on the a$$

I am not offended. Being born in 1961 I wasn't available to ensure the Acts of congress in 34 and 68 infringing were thrown out as treason. I have voted conservative since the first election I was eligible. I have went into the school when my children were in and let them know they could not force their liberal acceptance issues on my children who were raised with Christian morals. I stand and tell everyone how foolish gun controllers "common sense' is. I have stood in front of a judge and told her she did not have the authority to make me sell my guns. (she backed down) I have refused to obtain a CCW permit because federal case law states that you cannot apply a fee or test to any God given constitutionally guaranteed right. Not because I couldn't pass the test or pay the fees, because it was wrong. I carried before our Tennessee lawmakers saw fit to have "shall issue" permits. Every sheriff's deputy and half of the city police knew it, knew me, and were unconcerned. I stand up for myself and vote for the lesser of two evils. Many voted for the man who used his office and power for sex and lied at every turn because "It's the economy stupid" was a good slogan. I had no reason to have a gun rack in the back window nor carry a firearm in school but I did carry a large lock-back in a sheath on my belt. I took vocational classes and it was a tool like any other. I won't shrink from the fundamental statements made in the bill of rights and other writings of those who wrote them and signed them. I have been counted, my beliefs put a target on my back and that's fine with me. I am tolerant but I don't have to be accepting nor am I to judge others.

I'm sure it will be oiled and wiped down more than shot. My spine and torn rotator won't allow me to put too many rounds down range. BTW, I also want a 350 legend as well as a 458 SOCOM. Something about them tugs on my "need" center.
-
My guess is what was eluded to before. You wanted something "new" and the platform is not new to you. I'm sure when I finally bring home that 45-70 Marlin I'll have the same feeling except my shoulder will be hurting. It's the day after Christmas letdown, the vacation is over exhaustion. Let it ride for a while, try it in the woods and see if you like using it.

My SR22 would jam about every rounds. A little tweak of the feed lips and polish of the feed ramp and now I haven't found anything that won't run in it. Has to be the best .22 auto I've ever shot for reliability.
