sale-or-trade High standard sentinel 22lr Steel frame revolver
larry1096 replied to Bullseye717's topic in Firearms Classifieds
Is that by any chance a 'Sentinel MK IV"? I can't read the markings in the photos. Thanks, Larry -
I felt the same way until I got a P365 and 365XL. Changing grip frames is a fantastic way to fine tune the feel of a pistol, and changing my 365 to a 365X with just a grip proved an excellent upgrade for low $$. Larry

The way I read it...TN CCW permit
larry1096 replied to MEGASTAR's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
One consolation for the $10 is that the TN state system seems, at least in my experience, to be faster and more reliable than the federal NICS system. While the federal system seems to suffer from frequent 'outages', the TN system (in my experience) does not. Larry -
Nice shooting. It's always nice when you find a carry gun that 'fits', isn't it? Larry

ad closed Final price reduction on 4116 SS knife...

I just have to say this-I've been a knife/knife defense instructor for 30 years, and that fighter looks like it was designed by someone who really knows their stuff-point on centerline, real guards, enough leverage to pull back on. Effective design. Larry -

And that's part of my issue with Sig, to be honest-there's no such thing as a 'pre-recall' or 'post-recall' P320, because Sig NEVER did a recall. They did a 'voluntary upgrade', which means any used Sig you encounter could potentially not be updated, and therefore not drop-safe. As far as 'my Sig has 5,000 rounds and has been fine', folks are missing the laws of really big numbers here. Sig has sold, by their own account, about three and a half MILLION P320's of all configurations. During that production run, parts suppliers have changed, machine processes have changed, QC inspectors have changed. If this is some stack-up of error or tolerance stacking issue, the iterations that would need to be tested are potentially in the thousands. If only one run of sears were out of spec, and were caught by all but one QC inspector, there could still be thousands of guns in the wild with an unsafe condition. And I'll admit; ever since Sig told me I'd pay shipping both ways for a disconnector that crumbled in under 500 rounds on my $1,200 Nightmare Carry, I have some serious doubts about their commitment to quality. Combine that with the machining on the inside of that pistol, and I genuinely wonder what they would actually let out the door with their logo on it. Larry

I don't understand what the 'warning shot' was for? The guy was booking it out of there already. And shooting a fleeing person? Unless there's some really unusual details we're missing (like, "I'm heading over to your kid's house to kill him" or a kidnapped kid in the trunk) that's just crazy. Larry

Assuming 'wage92' is Wager Machining, that optic cut will be better than OEM. Fantastic work. Larry

Sewing them by hand, about 1 1/2 hours or so to about 2 1/2 hours, depending on the complexity of the holster. Larry

Over the last few years I've gone from no handgun optics to having them on all my carry guns. The good news is you'll learn to pick up the dot just like you learned to pick up the sights. The bad news is that's through repetition. Presentation drills (you don't even need to dry-fire, just 'present, place dot on target, repeat') helps a lot. Ben Stoeger also has some good videos about this, where he breaks it down in great detail. For me, optics have been a game changer; my eyesight had degraded to where shooting at 25 yards (where I used to be able to shoot 1 1/2" groups on a good day) was just about impossible. With the dot, I can do a Dicken drill clean (10 for 10) with relative ease, and shoot one hole groups again with my target guns. It's worth the effort. Larry

These are the only photos that would make it under the forum's photo limits, hope it gives you an idea of what I'm talking about. Thanks, Larry
