Is the Tula safe in Glocks?

Has anyone seen one of their complete builds? I've been told they use a lot of Rock River Arms parts. I like the idea of buying local but I'm new to these and I'd like more info.

I have an 870 Police and to me the action feels smoother than the Mossbergs but I think they are both quality guns. My vote would be to steer clear of a pistol grip.

I have a Crossbreed Supertuck. I bought it for my Glock 19 but it works with all my Glocks. Which one is determined by how concealed I want to be that day. I have a slim build and the 26 absolutely disappears with just about any shirt.

+1 for a Glock 19 or Glock 26. A 26 can be concealed by almost anyone.

If the recoil is that big a deal, I'd recommend trading your 27 for a 26. You can't have mine. I like .40, but not in a gun that small.

Since you are in Knoxville you should check out Mast General Store. I know what you're thinking... That's a semi-trendy, over-priced touristy place... Believe it or not they actually have manufacturer sample sales in from time to time. About 2 years ago someone tipped off my wife and I got a really nice Mountain Hardwear jacket with a zip-out liner at 50% off and got a great deal on a vest for the wife. They had a selection of Columbia, North Face, and Mountain Hardwear. I also have a really puffy down North Face jacket that I got on Ebay when I was in law school (read broke). It is a little warmer but I'm actually doing anything active I prefer the MH with a thin wool sweater underneath. It is comfortable in a surprisingly wide temperature range. You may want to ask the employees about the manufactur sample sales. I think they do them once or twice a year. You may also check out Campmor and Sierra Trading Post. They often have discontinued styles of North Face, Mountain Hardwear, and Columbia.

This exactly. Add to that it must be black.

My current handguns are Glock 19, Glock 26, Glock 17(Gen4), Glock 22 (Gen 3RTF2) and a Ruger LCP. They are all defensive/carry guns. They are tools. They may not be collectible, sentimental or pretty, but they are all reliable and I'm comfortable with them. The only bad handgun I ever bought was a Beretta Bobcat. It would FTE constantly. Not reliable or powerful enough to carry and too small fun at the range either. It was replaced by a combination of a .22 conversion kit and the LCP.

I've just had my permit since January. I took an "advanced marksmanship" class at Coal Creek last Spring. I'd like take at least one class a year for a while. I'm also interested in some type of home defense shotgun class if I can find one in my area.

I second the Order of Protection. I've filed tons of OPs in Knox County. PM me if you have questions. I'll also be in the office (450-3333) Monday afternoon.

I do family law as well. It is incredibly volitile and very emotional.

When I got my permit I only got it because my work sometimes sends me to ask tough questions to difficult people in parts of town I wouldn't normally travel to. Since I've had my permit, however, I carry almost everywhere it's legal.

I vote trade. I really like my G22.

Anyone in the Knoxville area with experience working as a paralegal, legal secretary, or a law student? I'm a solo-practice Attorney with a para-legal who is on maternity leave. If I keep working Saturdays and coming home after dinner my wife is not going to be happy. I'd be willing to talk to anyone who could start soon to come in a few days a week to catch the phone and keep me from getting too far behind on basic paperwork (think billing and filing). I got a pm a while back from a TGOer who had just started law school. I had just hired my paralegal at that time and had another law student working 30 hours a week last summer. I can't find your pm. I do criminal defense, family law, & personal injury. I promise it's not boring. This would be hourly contract work for now... basically temp to hire. If I stay as busy as I have been lately, I may keep you after my paralegal comes back... email resumes to my reedlawfirm@yahoo.com The office line is 450-3333.

+1 for apdopting a dog through TGO. We adopted our Boxer from a TGO member last spring (with some hesitation from the wife)and he's a great dog. The wife even recently remarked that he's a better dog than the Cocker Spaniel that we've had for six years. Great looking dogs you've got there.

I have a G26 in my Aholster right now. IWB with an untucked shirt is my favorite carry mode but it usually doesn't work well for me since I wear suits and tuck my shirt in most of the time. The G26 is too big for pocket carry jeans but works fine in most of my dress pants and/or Khakis.

Plus 1 for the 5.11 belts. I have 2 and they work fine, are reasonably priced, don't cost a ton, and best of all, they don't look like you're trying to be GI JOE. Plus 1 to the Glock suggestion as well. I've got a similiar build to you and my Supertuck at about 5:00 is the most concealable option I've tried for IWB.

And just how are lawyers not professionals?

.357 or you'd have to change your name.

I am rigjt-handed and left-eye-dominant. Not really a big deal since I shoot handguns with both eyes open. I have a shotgun which I also shoot right-handed using only my right (weaker) eye. I've not shot it nearly as much as my handguns so I haven't given it much thought. I'm considering a rifle for my next purchase. Although I shoot handguns often, I didn't grow up around guns so I have very little experience with rifles. I know that some guys keep both eyes open with holographic sights but I'm not sure if I should consider learning to shoot left-handed before buying a rifle. What do you guys think?

Gunny's in Maryville used to offer one that was broken up over two weekdays. You might want to call them at (865) 233-3471. According to their website they have a class from 6-10pm next Monday and Tuesday. Gunnys Indoor Shooting Range

I've got a 3 season and I've also been fine into the 20s as well. This was with a good mummy bag of course.

Looks to be natural gas, not meth.

I don't even like 1911s (I'm a simpleton) and I've got to admit that's a sweet piece.
