Thanks everyone.

Resolved with new springs and trigger return block.

The issue was resolved with the new springs and a new hammer return block.

The TGTFO are not distracting. During the day they are a little bit better than others but not to where I like them all that much better. My only gripe with them are they are a lot larger than others and the front sight could be more recognizeable. It seems all night sights have a front sight like the rear unless you mix colors. For that reason I wish that I had XS big dots.

I have three sets of night sights within my gun collection. Trijicon, True Glow TFOs, and Siglites on my duty weapon. Honestly there isn't a huge difference in any of them. The Siglites may be the brightest but that is actually tough to call. The TGTFO may be a little easier to see during the day.

I saw two bad, new Glock mags a few years back, and obviously the ten round single stacks were notorious for being defective out of the box. The ten round Glock 19 magazines I believe still give people trouble till this day.

I have used Unique and it works just fine. Power Pistol is probably the best I have used though. People say there is little room for error, but that is not true. Since 40 is a high pressure round you only see high pressure load data. I can, and often do, load powder fart .40s&w loads. My 770fps 180 gr loads are unbelievable accurate and soft shooting. I don't use a bulge buster but if I feel like the case is bulged and suffering from Glock Belly I set it to the side with others like it to run further into the resizing die without a shell holder. I then tap it out through the top without the decapping pin in the die. But sometimes I just toss bulged cases in the trash. If it is a visible bulge I toss it anyway.

We bought my FIL one a few years back when they were on sale at Sportsmans Warehouse for that price. Honestly, with the 45lc it is a pretty good shooting gun and never misses a beat. It's just typical Taurus gripes of rough edges and uneven finish. All the .410 shells we have tested penetrate poorly and many have had weak primer strikes. Some of the premium .410 shells like the pdx will only penetrate one side of a pumpkin or melon at more than 7 yards. IMO, with shot shells it is only suitable for use as a snake gun; with .45LC I wouldn't have a concern using it for home or self defense.

There is a combination of things to keep in mind here, and I am no means an expert but the Marlins are now more affordable. I recently bought a Glenfield 30a that still had the 1977 price tag of $237; that was a crap ton of money then. However, I think the issue lies in Remington quality suffering around the late 90's also. I even hear some say the quality has improved once again, and I often hear some say the last of the true JM Marlins may have quality issues as well.

Sounds like a sheriff that doesn't care about getting a second term.

You will like the Glock holster. If you really want it to sit close to the body run the belt backwards through it like I did with this modified Galco. I don't have a picture of the Glock holster this way but it works just as well.

There will not be a DA present for city court. They can proceed without the officer unless his synopsis raises questions or you have questions for the officer. Most of the time the officer will be there because he or she will have an entire docket one day once every other month.

I never experienced that while shooting the original to be perfectly honest.

I used the Jak Slide and kind of like it. I gave it to a friend after I found a few holsters I like better. I know I mention this a lot, but why not save $40 and try a Glock Sport Combat holster.?

Those few places that have laws banning detectors will often have radar detector detectors for alerting to their use. We borrowed one just for seeking out commercial vehicle drivers with them. When we purchased a radar drone we gave the detector detector back. The radar drone transmitted a K band frequency for a couple of miles. It did not detect speed, it only transmitted a frequency. We intentionally did this to slow traffic in a construction zone. Once we had that we encouraged radar detectors.

Is this for city court or general sessions? Regardless you should have an opportunity to call and plead guilty with an opportunity to just pay over the phone. All of this assuming that is what you wanted to do. Unless you have to take off work, and it cost you money to go to court, I advise showing up for the court date and plead not guilty. The most it generally cost you is what the ticket would have cost anyway, especially if this is a city magistrate that is appointed. A $50 fine and your court cost is generally the max for Tennessee. Sessions court however is not limited to the $50 fine. I do not know of a maximum on court fees. I know one city in TN has one over $200, but most are around $100. As for your radar detector not giving you a warning there are several probabilities, but we can not rule out the possibility that the officer was not using a speed measurement device. He would be committing perjury by saying that he did when he didn't of course. Officers can write a ticket without confirming speed but it is highly discouraged. More sophisticated speed measurement devices such as Ka band radars are not as easily detectable even if you have a Ka band detector. Some field studies I was a part of ten years ago showed angles and window tint effect radar detector performance. As well, if he was using his device properly it didn't have time to give a warning before you were targeted and he released the button. We call this feature instant on. The waves go out and return too fast to often get detected. Laser is a completely different animal, but he would have checked Lidar instead of radar. I will say this: If the officer saw your radar detector it is probably the deciding factor for you getting a ticket over a warning. I have told numerous speeding violators, "I was going to give you a warning but I see that your radar detector must have already given you a warning or two." In all honesty, Officers have concluded that there is only one reason a person choices to have a radar detector; that is that they like to speed. Be safe and best of luck with contesting.

I haven't had work done at ACRW but I have talked to them a lot. I would trust them.

I saw a picture of the Verizon Store in question, and I did not see a posting. I can not say for certain that one did not exist. As for the parenting, I actually see a lot wrong in this situation besides the obvious.

I have used that modified Glock Sport Combat Holster for Mexican carry but I designed it for use as a really minimum pocket holster. It is nice having the option to add the cord and use it IWB.

Well, that's your opinion, but my findings differ. As a teen and young adult I put several Tacomas through more work than most 1 tons see and they held up well. I didn't enjoy my 2013 pre runner as much as my old 04 Prerunner but I did like the 13's 24 mpg. Yeah, the new f150s get that or something close, but I do not like driving a full size truck everyday. I love the maneuverability of my 2dr Wrangler. Which brings me to the next point I never lost more than $2,000 on a Wrangler or Tacoma. I sold my 2004 Prerunner three years later with 40k miles on it for $1500 less than I paid for it new. I drove my 2013 for two years and then TRADED it with only losing $2k. You can't do that with an F150.

I made my own.

I have found 45acp to be much like 38spl when loading. Both of them are very easy and accept a wide range of powders. I actually hate the tapered shape of 9mm when loading and I hate the thin brass associated with .380acp.

The 4.0 Tacoma engine is decent all around. It is a huge improvement over the previous 3.4l. The 2.7 from the first generation and the second generation is, according to my mechanic, the best engine ever put in a vehicle. My father totaled one with nearly 600k miles on the original motor and I would bet that it could have seen one million miles. I think the autos have too high of a fourth gear making the engine feel underpowered.

Yes, to both of you. I wear a Glock Sport Combat Holster the same as that Galco. Technically the Galco was a model with a thumbstrap that I cut off but retained the backside as a sweat guard. That open top is essentially the same.

Don't have any concerns about the roominess of a small SUV. I am a large guy myself and find my wife's 2015 huge inside. I also find the power plentiful.
