You should be training to tug the slide and not use the slide release anyway. If you feel like gambling, a Sig P250 is very lefty friendly.

You know I greatly prefer a XD over a XDM. I think the XD 9 in any size is the cream of the Springfield crop.

I actually remembered it this year. Happy Airborne Day to my fellow Paratroopers, past and present. Remember your 5 points of performance and your 3 rules of the air.

I don't really see too much of a reason to get a drivers license number. A name and date of birth will give police everything they need to know especially if you know they live in TN.

I recommend keeping all email conversations that most likely will contain phone numbers and names. Ask the 2 important questions. I often will record the license plate number also. You should be more concerned as a buyer than a seller, trust me. I have never done it but you could record the conversation digitally with most any newer phone.

^ The M&Pc is really a good size, fits between the G19/G26 sizes.

If nothing else just take photos of the serial numbers.

The first quote is all that matters. That 13 round magazine is like voodoo, as is the 16 plus 1.

I like Glocks! I was real excited about the SR9 coming out. I went to my ffl to look at the first one he had and we decided to field strip it there. I was so disappointed with the internals, mainly due to all the safety related junk in there. I had already decided by this point it was not for me. Then we got it stuck trying to reassemble it. It took about 10 minutes to get it unstuck. This event was enough for me and the SR9. I love my LCP and had real high hopes for the SR9. If your comparing a fullsize XDM to a Glock 19 there not really in the same catagory. A Glock 19 and the compact XDM would be a little closer. I'll say I think the SIg 2022 is a great value at $400 new if your just looking for a polymer 9mm. They can be found new with 1 mag for $399.

Odd, there was a 38spl Arminius that sold for $145. The exact amount the guy said he paid for the 357 Arminius.

The p250's were terrible. The mosquito has been a trouble child as well. I'm seriously thinking the only ones to depend on out of the box are the models in production for 15+yrs or ones out of production.

I'll say though, of the Bail Enforcement Agents I've met I've liked a lot more than the worthless scum they were chasing. The Bail Enforcement guys were definitely the less of the two evils compared to the skips.

^ I've used different strategies before. At a yard sale or such I would pick out a bunch of items, and total up what they wanted in my mind and ask will you take xx? They most likely will say no. Put every thing back except the one or two items you actually wanted and offer half of the asking price or half of your last offer whichever is less. If they happen to be busy it's even better. This is a neat trick and gets some awesome deals. I often used to count out the money in front of a seller, and then say here's xx. I would love to do buisness with you. I bought a Trek 7000 for $200 yrs ago that a guy wanted $375 for. I did this trick after I asked what's the lowest reasonable price you were expecting? He replied he really wanted $350. I can't believe he let it go for $200 and Got him to through in some extras afterwards. I had some fun when I was selling a IPod Touch. A girl text me asking if I would sale for $75. I said I will if no one wants it for the $100 I was asking. I had it for sale for several days and she asked again. I said oh shoot I forgot to take it down, but I'll sell my wife's if you want it. She said ok. I then text her back saying hers was a little nicer with some extras I forgot about so I need at least 125. She said I can't do that. I said well I'll just keep it, it's not worth fighting the wife for any less. She said I'll take it. She got the same IPod for $25 more than what she could have had it for initially but with junk.

I don't think this guy was even licensed. I've met some questionable characters that are " Bounty Hunters" I be only met one or 2 good ones.

http://www2.tricities.com/news/2012/aug/11/bounty-hunter-killed-while-trying-arrest-wrong-per-ar-2123571/ This guy pulled his gun on the wrong guy. Actually it really was the wrong guy. According to the Bristol Herald Courier, witnesses say the bounty hunter, 32-year-old Joshua Scott Horne of Bristol, ran up to his target, aimed his pistol and yelled that the suspect was under arrest on Friday. Bristol police say the two men struggled over the weapon and multiple shots were fired.

I guarantee you there is more to this. If they did pull it, I'm sure they had a very very good reason. You can't find a cop or nurse for that matter that will even check people there most of the time.

It's been reported by more than just a few. Sigs aren't really the 100% out of the box guns they used to be.

Sounds high and it's not like it's a new desirable gun anyway.

LOL, I used to do the tag team low balling also. I even went so far as to create a fake Craigslist add for the same thing to make the buyer think he was way over on price. I really don't do much haggling anymore. I used to be one of the best, I was also a car salesman so I knew some of the best tricks. Here is the lesson I learned: In short I drove to look at a jeep bumper. I gave a low offer saying its not what I was looking for but I'll give you "x". Seller was like ok. I could tell he was pissed. I load it up and go home. I'll be damned if the same guy didnt list over the next weeks a dozen other car parts but he wouldn't return my calls. I sent a buddy after a skid plate I really wanted. I also talked a guy down on a table one time after it said firm. I guarantee if I had not bought it he would still have it though. I later ran into the guy when I was looking for a job, judging by the way he asked, "How's my table"? I could tell I ruined my chances. I have kind of cleaned up my acts a little. I do haggle at shops especially pawn shops. I just don't as much unless it's necessary. I get more thrill out of negotiating with those that try me.

That's not what I thought she would have picked. Great choice though.

It's starting to look like what happened.

Does anyone have the auction list of firearms? I'm looking for a Arminius 357mag that would have been sold there.

There isn't a hot sheet. The gun came up in a check when it was being resold

EDIT: may not have came from McMinn auction after all. So a gun that supposedly came from the McMinn Sheriffs Department gun auction (supposedly but very likely)got sold to another FFL a month later, and was found to have been stolen. What's the chance that the McMinn sheriffs department and their auctions FFL missed this gun being reported? Gun was a off brand < $200 revolver. I

It's sounding like the Sig 938 verdict is still out. One of my friends is a huge 238 fan and Sig fan but hates the Sig 938. There's a few reported troubles also. I just wouldn't be so fast to think the 938 is the answer to everything. You'll have to try one yourself. I like the Sig 239 but have a hard time justifying them over a Glock26/27. The 239's will also have a long first trigger pull. If she don't like LCP triggers I'd stay away from the Kahrs. Oh, I also think every 45 I've ever shot recoils about the same as a 9mm of the same size.
