I love Macs!

gnmwilliams.....on COD4 all the time

Wow...nuff said. Thanks!

I have an opportunity to buy a used Sig p226 from a guy who is offering it, three high cap mags, and night sights for $650. I'm wondering if it's a good price or would something have to be wrong for it to be that cheap with all the extras. What should I look for in terms of wear and tear?

Viva la Macintosh!!! Sorry just had to say it

I'm not familiar with any group who specializes in church security. However, my previous church in Nashville consulted with the local sherrifs department and was given advice on how to provide proper security for their location. While concealed carry by members was encouraged, it was not the most important factor in providing proper saftey to members of the church. Detering criminals can prevent tradgedies before they even happen. The officer listed many suggestions that were put into place. The first would be to organize a security board whose size would depend on the size of the congregation. Also, it's up to the church if they want to cover them under any liability policies but it was strongly recommended. The security board would then be in charge of things like making a walk of the parking lot a couple of times every service to check on peoples cars and to deter criminal walk-ins. Having a few cars or trucks in the lot with magnetic security signs on them was also a suggestion. This security board should then appoint only a few permit carrying members of the church to carry concealed. This is not saying that the church will keep anyone from carrying on church grounds if they so choose but that the church will appoint who they want to engage attackers and that these people are the only ones they want shooting back unless someone is personally confronted. If someone were to walk in and start shooting, you don't want every single person in the crowd to stand up and start shooting back. You need people in charge of getting everyone out of there safely just as much as you need people to stop the attacker/s. Seating the designated people evenly from front to back was also suggested. Also, having someone sitting in the lobby during services will give them a chance to engage/greet any strays that happen to walk in, criminal or not. We all know how those deacons are! It's a crazy world we live in that makes all this neccessary but it's always better to be prepared then be another example on the news as to why we need security in the first place!

Awsome feedback folks! I can see how losing the middle finger from the grip makes it hard to hold steady after a while...19+1 rounds gets heavy! Plus, Im pretty sure that if I were to have to engage quickly I'd revert to how I've always shot - index finger on the trigger. I won't try to use a technique in the real world until I'm sure I'm comfortable with it. I'm headed to the range today to try different techniques and see how they feel. Thanks for all the advice!

I have been reading about different tactics for home defense and various methods of low light shooting and came across one called point shooting. While I'm familiar with the concept, does pulling the trigger with your middle finger allow for proper control of the firearm and shot placement? Does anyone have any experience with this method or have other suggestions on a better method?

Thanks for the welcome! Just moved to the area in August but myself and another family member are seriously looking at joining ORSA. Just haven't had much time yet. I live close enough to hear the shots though on a quiet day!

You may have been talking about it already when you mentioned Corbon ammo but have you looked into their DPX rounds? I haven't used them yet personally and am wondering the same thing you are about the Gold Dots.

Just like to say hello and thanks for all the helpful advice I've gotten so far from just reading the posts!
