  1. It's the classic tight chamber I experienced. It seams to appear with Speer/Gold Dots sometimes as well as Hornady. Someone told me to take the davspping pun ou of the resizing die and resize the entire finished round but I still couldn't get the bottom of the case small enough where it meets the rim. I never tried a 4pc kit with the above mentioned die.
  2. I think the matter is not that the LEO thinks A legally armed citizen will open fire but the fact we get so criticized by our command when we do things certain ways we get "Monday morning qtrbacked". You was told there was a weapon in the car but didn't take it? I can't count the number of times a citizen called, emailed, or spoke to a chief or LT trying to commend a LEO and it backfired on the officer.
  3. If you must have a NS is a LCR out of the question?
  4. I also can't see them going to the range and qualifying under HR218.
  5. I'm not reading over this entire post but if it's a legal stop with probable cause or even reasonable suspicion that a crime or violation has occurred The LEO has every right to disarm you for the duration of the traffic stop at least in TN. PERIOD!
  6. I have given one or two DUI's when someone was under .08. It's what we call the "DUI per say" and truthfully one of the only reasons I do it is because 1. They did show some impairedness 2. They most likely had some other charges like domestic assault 3. And of course the minor child in vehicle, repeat offender, or other zero tolerance violations. The way I see it if I would charge someone with public intox I would charge them with carrying a weapon while intoxicated. I just can't imagine only because someone smells of alcoholic beverages charging them with being armed. The smell may very well have been from the night before.
  7. [quote name='leftyk82' timestamp='1355183707' post='858137'] My pastor bought one. Aside from the slide bite (his fault), the slide stop kept working its way loose after a few rounds. He traded it for a Glock 36 [/quote] That is a commonly reported trouble but for less than $374 new out the door I wanted to give it a try. I'll tell you they have some rough edges and can blister the trigger finger.
  8. But the ATF knows(can find out) who bought it new. The ATF does occasionally visit gun shops to see who's bought what. I've seen it happen.
  9. I owned one back early this year. I have for a long time been searching for the perfect 45acp and the kahr was close. Mine didn't like my reloads no matter what I did. Its also very common to them to not like Hornady ammo do to the tight chamber. Commander size 1911 magazines will work but it's not worth the trouble of modifying and testing them in my opinion. I kind of wished I would have kept it now. Just about every Glock holster I had worked perfectly with the Kahr.
  10. I had a 1952 Ted Williams Red Man Tobacco card that I had been holding onto since the mid 80's. I think the most it was ever worth was $180 in early 90's. I sold it on eBay in 08' because I was noticing a trend, I was happy to get $41 for it then.
  11. Good luck with them, they are no where near what the used to be. I also recommend Tuff Stuff and actually putting them on EBay is about the best way to get rid of them.
  12. Even if the magazines are all factory and it's perfect I wouldn't want to pay more than $550.
  13. As a former car salesman it is apparent in my findings that Economy Honda may very well be the most well run, professional dealership I have ever come across. Slowly about 50%of the car salesman that I actually respected and thought were good people have found there home at Economy. It is about the only dealership I have seen that actually does all the candy coated crap dealerships claim they do. Long story I was looking for a standard cab Tacoma with low miles. A friend over there at Economy called and said they traded for one. I went and looked at and they said we got to have it looked at. Bad news, it showed signs of water damage, clean Carfax though(not a surprise), so they sent it to the auction. Another friend at a dealership across town called and said they just got a perfect Tacoma and it's been inspected and serviced;) Guess which Tacoma it was.

  15. [quote name='ShamGlock' timestamp='1354899456' post='856507'] ^^^Was the reliable source ESPN? Cause its already been all over their website all morning. [/quote] The way things have went I takes more than a news source "saying" to convince me.
  16. The compact 45 USP is highly sought after.
  17. [quote name='peejman' timestamp='1354902086' post='856527'] TN resident at least 21 years old. , [/quote] As strange as it is they only have to be over the age of 18. I have known a few police officers and sheriff deputies under 21 that have had others buy their ammo though.
  18. It's Butch Jones, I just got the call from a reliable source.
  19. I own a S&W 642 and a LCR. The LCR definitely has a better trigger but the nastalga of the Smith makes it more appealing. The grips and holsters for the S&W's are a lot more available than the LCR's. The finish on my 642 is vastly worn from holsters and pockets so don't expect it to remain pretty. I have a few other S&W revolvers but I don't carry them, a little to heavy or too big. My LCR was supposed to have been for my wife but even trying all three different grips she has decided to stick with a LCP.
  20. Double post
  21. One of the only cases I know of where the police or BATF came inquiring about a handgun,they were pleased just to get copies of emails which had the phone number of the buyer. It's not really a big deal as long as you don't knowingly sell it to a felon and you are both residents of the same state. If you go through a FFL they are required to keep the record for forever. If they close the BATF takes possession of the records.
  22. It will provide some relief from poison ivy irritation to.

    Pearl Harbor

    I was stationed In Hawaii for five years so it means a lot to me but even during childhood I always thought about it every Dec 7th. My wife was a elementary school teacher in the Hawaii public schools and she didn't have to teach it in school because it was all ready on the minds of the 6yr olds. It's truly a sacred day in the islands, everyone just has a completely different demeanor on Pearl Harbor Day.
  24. [quote name='cardcutter' timestamp='1354685539' post='855140'] Years ago the owner of Tommies Guns in East Ridge( right next to Chattanooga) told me he had a women come in who wanted to buy some ammo for her husband. She did not know what caliber his pistol was. She asked him if he could sell her an assorted box so her husband could just use the ones that fit. [/quote] I knew the family that had that place. I think there name was Aaron, now they did know me but still I went in there at 10yrs old with a friend and the owner let md hold an UZI. Super cool.
  25. [quote name='strickj' timestamp='1354668172' post='854995'] The guy wasn;t a medic. He was just rushing his wife to the hospital. He ran several red lights in the process and nearly creamed a cop (the one in question) at an intersection. Either the mayor or chief apologized for the man's reckless driving [/quote] I looked it up, it's been a couple of years ago. I updated the post.
