I like the Gen 4 Glocks. I have a Gen 4 G-19 and it's a great little pistol. I can drop the mag, easily without changing my grip. It has never failed to go bang. I have shot M&Ps and they seem to be good pistols too. M&Ps, Glocks, Springfields they are all about the same to me.

The Mojave is beautiful in the early spring. That's the rainy season and the flowers are in bloom.

I used to have some Glazer silver dots. They have been recommended as the best frangible ammo. The ballistics look very impressive. Yet, unless I was a Sky Marshall or had a specific need for frangable ammo, I wouldn't bother with it.

He won't be in business long like that. Even a Krag in mint condition ain't worth 3 grand, to my knowledge.

I hope you guys don't mind, but these old stories need to be passed down. I used to work with this old Tennessee gentleman who was in the Merchant Marines in WWII. He was a gunner aboard an old transport ship trying to get supplies to the hard pressed Russians. He used to sail the "Murmansk Run", probably the most dangerous job an allied sailor could have in WWII. He used to tell us stories you wouldn't believe. This one story sticks out in my mind. Just a crafty young country boy who may have saved some lives that night. This is how he told it...to my best recollection: "I was on watch one night on a Murmanks Run. I had to stand in a little steel tub at the very front of the bow and look out for German U-boats. It was so dark I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. The wind was churning up the sea so you couldn't hear yourself think. After about a hour I called the bridge and said "there's a U-boat out there!". Well the ship sounded general quarters, all the ships in the convoy went on full alert. The captain came out to my post and said. "Did you see a Submarine?!" I said "Naw Sir." he said, "Did you hear anything?" "Naw Sir!" I said. "Then why the hell did we sound general quarters?" I said "Do you smell that captain? Them's diesel fumes. All the ships in our convoy are coal burners." Only a German U-boat would be putting out diesel fumes.

I have recently been leaving my semi-automatics at home when I go to the range. Revolvers seem to be more rewarding to shoot lately. I seem to concenrate better when I know I only have 5 or 6 shoots, so I take my time and end up shooting less ammo. My prefered method of shooting is single action. I have two Ruger Single Sixes that I love to shoot, but the holes it makes in the paper is hard to see. I want a single action pistol that makes big holes. Anyone have any experiance with single action pistols? I'm seriously thinking of trading in my new Glock 36 for a Ruger Bisley Vaqaruo in .357.

To tell you truth, I think Uncle Doc (Dr. Mason) made up what he couldn't prove. I would never say that to my family though.

John MacMillan came to America in 1756 from Scotland and settled in Suffolk County Virginia. His son Sholto, went west and became a Scots-Trader with the Creek Indians in Alabama. He married and Indian woman and had twin sons. One looked like and indian and one looked like a Scot. When his boys were 12 years old their momma died of the fever. By then there were white settlers coming to the area so Sholto took a white woman to be his wife. There was one condition, she demanded that the half-breed boys had to go. Sholto told his sons they had to go live with their indian relatives. The boy that looked more like an indian went back to his mother's tribe but the boy who looked more like a scot went up to the "Tribe of the Wind" (A Creek tribe) where he lived and found a halfbreed indian woman who looked white. They married and moved back in with Sholto as white people and he called himself John MacMillan. When the Creek indians went on the trail of tears John MacMillan laid claim to thousands of acres of land in south Alabama that once belong to the Creeks. John MacMillan is one of my for fathers. I own 75 acres of the land he got from his indian relatives. The Creek indian tribe of Alabama said we Masons were too white to join, but I have a second cousin who is on the tribal council. This story has been past down from my Uncle. Dr. Isaac Mason of the University of South Alabama. His book on the Fort Mimms massacre was based on our family.

I'm flying my flag at half mast today. I also played a funeral degerge from a CD of scottish bagpipes so loud the neighbors across the lake came out a stood at attention. The motto of the MacMillan clan is "No one attacks us with impunity!" Which is in Latin below.

Welcome to TGO! You don't have to be from Tennessee to enjoy the fellowship. I had to leave Tennessee many years ago, but I go back every year. I live in North Carolina now. Tennesseans went all over the west during the founding of this great country. The people of Texas turn and face Tennessee when ever they say the Pledge of allegance. You probably have some roots in Tennessee somewhere.

I bought a shoulder rig when I first started carrying. Now I wear it in the bedroom when my wife and I play Miami Vice. That's about all they are good for. I carry inside the wasteband now with a backup 380 in my pocket.

I was having a problem reassembling the darn thing and I hit it with the wood handle of a hammer. It broke the blade off the rear sight. A stupid amateurish mistake! Sometimes "stupid" just sneaks up on me........

I need a new rear sight for my Ruger Mark III Hunter. DON'T ASK!!!!!. Should I call Ruger or are there after market sights that are any good.

:usa:Welcome to TGO. I have heard of the Brown Water navy in Viet Nam. I used to work with a man in Nashville who was on a navy patrol boat in the Makong Delta area of operations. You guys will always be my heroes.

You're whole concept of dealing with stress is messed up. Combat, be nature, is in itself stressful. It's like the German relaxation therapy. "Und now you vill RELAX!"

If you like the Colt, why are you leaning towards the...........never mind. I am certainly not an authority on 1911s. I have shot Kimbers, Springfields and Smith 1911s. They all went bang, if you blindfolded me, I could tell you what was what. I just like Colt because they were the first. I have the Government stainless with a Crimson Trace laser grip. Never jams and I get a free laser light show whenever I drink too much coffee and try to shoot.

friendly knowledgable staff and good deals on guns.

Samuel Colt makes a 1911 with a horsey on it. I like mine. Accurate, Dependable, Durable and hard hitting. It's a hobbie all it's own. Which ever one you choose, welcome to the club!

That is one of THE best rifles ever made. Cool camo. Righteous dude!

There a millions of people in America who want our right to defend ourselves revoked. Now that I have read their website I'm starting to agree with them. I'm going to destroy all of my rifles, shotguns and pistols so I will be safer and we will have a safe society. READ this stuff below! It came off a WEBSITE and it has NUMBERS! It must be true! More than 44 million Americans own firearms. Of the 192 million firearms owned in the United States, 65 million are handguns. Research shows guns in homes are a serious risk to families. A gun kept in the home is 43 times more likely to kill someone known to the family than to kill someone in self-defense. A gun kept in the home triples the risk of homicide. The risk of suicide is 5 times more likely if a gun is kept in the home. Advice to parents The best way to keep your children safe from injury or death from guns is to NEVER have a gun in the home. Do not purchase a gun, especially a handgun. Remove all guns present in the home. Talk to your children about the dangers of guns, and tell them to stay away from guns. Find out if there are guns in the homes where your children play. If so, talk to the adults in the house about the dangers of guns to their families. For those who know of the dangers of guns but still keep a gun in the home. Always keep the gun unloaded and locked up. Lock and store the bullets in a separate place. Make sure to hide the keys to the locked boxes. " This is the rhetoric of the enemies of freedom. Know your enemy.

"You can't be too fast to loose a gun fight". People who have won pistol fights have stated that they lined up the front sights on the target before squeezing the trigger. People who have lost gun fights state that they just pointed and shot. According to Massad Ayoob. My little Smith revolver is still my fastest. It's after the draw that concerns me with a 5 shot 38.

Kimber Carrier, You make a strong point. I will take your advice and start drawing more. Thanks, you may have saved a life.

Would that be vinegar based barbacue, Tomato based of Mustard based. I know it will be pork. I personally think that the Dove World Outreach Center should be ashamed of themselves. They should change their name to the Hate Outreach Center. I agree with Moped. This could put American's abroad in danger. I don't care if you believe in Jesus, Mohammed, Budha or the Tooth Fairey. That's not my business and it is a free country. Just don't go stirring the and preaching hate.

When asked in "Magnum Force" what type of load he uses in his .44 magnum. Harry replies: "It's a light Special. This size gun it gives you better control and less recoil than a .357 Magnum with wadcutters."

Cocked and Locked. But I don't carry my 1911 all the time, not yet. I'm new to pistol shootin' and new to conceal carry. The 1911 conceals amazingly well for a full size pistol. Once I get a good CC holster I think I'll start carrying it often.
