Afternoon all, So after hitting Coal Creek a few times and trying a bunch of their rental guns, and firing a friends P99 and XD9 SC, I've decided that the XD9 SC is the gun for me. I really like the grip safety option, the gun shoots well, handles well, good for EDC, etc, so it's time to go shopping... I had originally thought that the best options would be to have the bi-tone with night sights, so this is what I shopped around for locally (Knoxville), but after reading over at XDTalk, I'm wondering about my choices. Prices seem to be fairly even: Gander Mnt (Black on Black) = $549 Coal Creek (Bi Tone) = $549 Austins (Bi Tone) = $569 Night Sights are $100 (installation is $20 some places, free at others) Obviously I could buy it online or elsewhere, have it transfered for a fee. My main questions are: What are your thoughts on the finish? Is the bi-tone just for looks or does the finish have advantages/disadvantages? What are your thoughts on the night sights vs laser? Crimson Trace grip laser is an option, Lasermax laster, etc. What are your thoughts on the price? Is it worth having it shipped in from elsewhere, or just suck it up and pay a few bucks more for local? Any other thoughts about this choice? Thanks Gareth

I didn't like much of anything about it to be honest, I guess I'm just not into the whole Asian look/feel/sound of games. It was the little things that annoyed me the most: not being able to rotate while casting, not being able to invert the mouse, the annoying emotes when chatting, etc. They may have fixed some of those by now though. Looking forward to Borderlands being released, hope it's not as disappointing.

I pre-ordered this and played in the closed beta. It sucked so badly I ended up canceling the order.

Hi, Well, it's time to get the brakes on my truck looked at, making some noise. Anyone have recommendations on where to take it? Thanks Gareth

Congrats!

I tried calling the number on the website, mailbox is full. I'll try the admin number above. EDIT: Well the above number is the Domains by Proxy, Inc numbers. Not a customer of theirs so they won't help me. I'll just let the bank figure the crap out

Yeah, I didn't shut it down this morning bc I was still trying to figure out if the first instance was a legit charge I'd made. This 2nd was is definately not mine, so the card is now shut down.

Great...new charge just showed up. PRE-AUTHORIZATION DEBIT AT DPOCOLLC COM, CHATTANOOGA, TN

I spoke to them this morning. The transaction is still "Pending" on the account, so there isn't much they can do until it changes to "Posted". Guess I'll wait and see what happens...

I looked on Google for a contact number but I wasn't able to find anything for X BC Forestry, or XBC Forestry, in or around North Hampton, VA. If anyone is able to find anything I'd gladly call them first before going through the bank. I bank with 5/3 and they're great at taking care of issues like this, so I've no doubt they'll take care of it tomorrow for me.

Thanks for checking.

Hey, Wondering if anyone here as seen a charge on their CC from anything resembling this: X BC FORESTRY, NORTH HAMPTON, VA I have an account that I rarely use except for play stuff. In the past 6 months I've used it at the following merchants: Supply Capt Coal Creek Armory TGO (Hat purchase and Membership) MS Society (Donation per this thread - http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/general-off-topic/25203-help-my-cousin-please-read.html) Today I have a $20.00 pending charge from whatever X BC Forestry is. Hopefully it's nothing except my own forgetfulness, but I'm doubting it, and the bank will take care of it tomorrow. I'm just wondering if anyone else here got hit this morning, especially those who purchased a hat/membership/donation, as those are the most recent charges. Thanks Gareth

Done

Hehe. Thanks strickj.

Welcome!

Defrag and Checkdisk wouldn't hurt. Open up "My Computer", right click your "C" drive, choose "Properties", select the "Tools" tab. From there, choose "Defragment Now" to start the defrag utility, or choose "Check Now" to run checkdisk. Checkdisk will tell you it needs exclusive access to the disk and will run at the next restart, so you may have to hold the power button down to shut the PC off and let it run at the next boot.

Best of luck, to you and all of yours.

Does anyone have this image? Or can the link in the original post be fixed?

CZ-USA -> CZ P07 DUTY

This is me. Very little exposure to shooting, and when I did have chances when I was younger I let them pass me by. I think a lot of other people are in the same situation.

Shows as being in the Jacob Building @ Chilhowee Park Thanks for the coupon.

Does anyone know what the cost of admission is to this event? Are they worth attending if you're just interested in looking around, or is it best to just go to the gun shops? I'm only familiar with the old computer shows I used to attend, they were awesome 10 years ago, but kinda suck now. Thanks Gareth

Check the parking lot at work for the car. Sounds like he (or she) gets off at the same time you do, drives the same way home.

The Resident Evil games are among my favourites.
