Having investigated property crimes for years, this is the worst way to try and get a stolen firearm back. If word gets out that the gun and it's serial number have been reported stolen it will end up in the bottom of a river or get put deep into a closet to be used as a throw down gun.(both cases you will never get it back) It's best to just report the gun stolen and never post an ad like this. Sit back and wait for the day it gets pawned or is located on a traffic stop. If anything let word get out that the serial number was unknown and you didn't call the police, maybe the will think that they are in the clear and try to sale it.

I do not think there is a true Gen2 Glock 36. Other than an OD frame I am pretty sure all Glock36 to this point have been the exact same. The Glock 31 Gen2 probably is the most rare of all the Gen2.

I found one a couple of years ago on gun owners club but the guy had it refinished, it kind of ruined it for me.

Stay far, far away from the 6.0L diesel.

All I can say is that I am glad we pay a higher sales tax and no income tax, it makes the welfare, drug dealers, under the table workers pay part of their share. I would pay a higher sales tax to do away with Federal Income Tax.

Tanker, I am having a hard time understanding what you are trying to say. What is the GCWR(not the GVWR) of your truck? If it is the 5.7 it should be 15000. Take the curb weight(probably 57000lbs if 4wd) add the occupants and cargo (say 500 lbs.) and subtract that from your GCWR. This scenario it would be 8800, more if you have less cargo or you are 2wd. So yes, a 10,000 lbs trailer is too much. If you say that your truck is too light for a 10k lbs trailer I believe you. In fact I believe the 4.0 Tacomas are overrated, 6500lbs for them is way too much. Also I am almost for certain that all 2nd generation Tundras have the same brakes, even the brochures and parts catalog indicate that they do. My friend swapped a 4.6 F-150 for a 4.6 Tundra because the F-150 was just to weak. He seems to be pretty happy with the Tundra. He was a big Ford guy but his mechanic strongly recommended against the 5.4 in the Ford and the deal on the 4.6 Tundra was too good to pass up.

TankerHC, if your truck won't pull 4klbs something is wrong. Without looking the towing capacity of the 4.6 and 4.7 in the 2nd generation is about 8500lbs with the proper equipment. It will be the GCWR(about 13,000lbs.) minus the curb weight(4500lbs.). This gives you the actuall towing capacity. Also, your trailer should be equipped with brakes strong enough to stop the truck and trailer. The Fords F-150's I drive at work do not have built in brake controllers either. I can hit the manual actuator on my dads truck and stop a 5,000 lbs. trailer within just a few feet from the distance I can if just hit the brakes at 55mph.

There is a documented, and confirmed case by witnesses, that a DOE guy got his drawstring caught in the trigger guard of a Sig firing it. Supposedly they spent some time recreating the event, confirming that it can happen easily.

If it is a crewmax then it will have a V-8,271hp or 381hp. The 5.7 is a monster and unnecessary, the v-6 will not be in a crewmax, but is still a fine engine at ~235hp.

Since I got on a Toyota rant, F-150's are still great trucks. I often drive some that are relatively new at work, they are very reliable and the truck will fall apart I think before the drivetrain shuts down. I n one of my old jobs we had some Super Duty 6.0 L diesels that were terrible trucks, they were always in the shop getting $2k-4k worth of repairs. I commented to the service technician that we didn't even need as large of trucks, he said the 5.4L gas engines required costly tuneups and that it was essential that they received them.

I can not speak specifically for the 07 plus Tundras but Toyota trucks are three times the muscle and reliability you think they would be by looking at them. My best friend has a 2010 Tundra, he sold a 2008 4.8 F150 that couldn't handle his travel trailer. My dad has always driven Toyotas, mostly Tacomas, and has worked them hard. Some of his trucks have received 300k miles and seen more work than most 1 tons. He currently drives a 2006 Tundra v-6, it's a he'll of a truck but doesn't have the longevity of the half million mile Toyota 4cyl. The 2006 Tundra has about 200k miles and has been used as a truck hauling loads that max 1/2 tons. I have had three Toyota trucks, two Tacomas and one 1985 4Runner. I still have the second Tacoma and lost only a couple of thousand on the first one after 4 years and 50k miles of wear and miles. The 4Runner I broke even on owning it only one year. I do not put my trucks under as much work as my dad but they occasionally get the call. I took my 2003 2.7liter to pick my buddy's boat up on the side of the road. His 2004 Trailblazer broke down coming back from the ocean, yes I said ocean. It was a large boat ~5k lbs. After dropping his boat off at the house he couldn't believe how well the "V-6" pulled and the breaks stopped. I had to break it to him that my 4cyl was more truck than his Chevy v-6.

The finish of the sights and the early ones with the white paint peeling out did stink.

Not quite, the 40S&W was actually better. 10mm 180gr 1013fps/4"bbl 40S&W 180gr 1022fps/4bbl http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/40sw.html

I have seen more than one active warrant that was not on file when we asked for the warrant in hand. For an arrest warrant to be served someone physically has to be holding the signed warrant. For them to technically haul the person away someone was holding a warrant. However, this does not mean the person is guilty or even the person for whom someone thought they were filing a warrant. More than once I have heard that a person swore out(can be a citizen) then at court the person served was a case of mistaken identity.

In my years of policing I think only about half of the people I have found warrants on actually know they have warrants. An additional small amount may believe that they may have some, but a few are really caught off guard. A warrant can be for any crime and technically can even be filed for a civil suit. It amazes me to think that some people would think a warrant wouldn't matter or would not be found.

I just realized the Kimber is a used one? There seems to be those that have had bad and those that have had good experiences with Kimber's 1 year warranty.

An ankle holster makes sense anytime you are sitting. I wore one a little bit when I was working the streets as a cop, I came to realize I was not flexible enough to make quick draws from the ankle. In a fight I would not be able to reach it, I actually tried sparring with a friend one day. It was too easy for a suspect to grab in a scuffle, and took too long for me to grab. The weight didn't bother me and with the Galco it was comfortable. I ultimately switched my bug being in my offhand front pocket.

I see that you are military, you will not beat the blue label pricing on Glocks 9/40/357 are $450 New OTD at your nearest Glock LE dealer. All of this assuming Glocks appeal to you. It is too easy to find rental Glocks to try out before you buy one.

The general opinion is that there are better 1911s out there for the money than a Kimber. Any handgun can be a lemon, no matter what brand. All of this assuming you are a 1911 fan, I am not. I have shot them but just think they are slightly outdated technology. As for the Beretta the price seems about right for a new one but some older used ones have more desirable parts. Not to mention they are often on the market for several hundred less. The military uses the Beretta because a long time ago they got convinced that it was the best value at the time. They liked the Sig 226 a slight bit better but saved money with the Beretta. I would like to own a Beretta after carrying one in Afghanistan and as a MP for years. The thing with the Beretta is everybody shoots them ok, noone seems to shoot them great though. If I were buying my first handgun, not specifically for carry, I would look at a polymer framed compact or full sized Glock, M&P, or similar in 9. If I just found the right deal on a 40 I would buy it since ammo is more plentiful right now anyway.

I have done the lemishine and it does fine, I discovered that Koolaid mix(no sugar) with water and hand shaken works even better. I actually have a dry tumbler but for less than 200 cases it isn't worth messing with.

To be fair there are stories out there of people taking hits with 40s, 45s, and just about everything else to vital areas just to walk away. I have seen a homicide with a 22lr and witnessed a guy not even go into shock after shooting himself with a 44mag. THP shot a guy in the face with a 40S&W and he lived , Norfolk Beach PD shot a guy several times including in the face with a 9mm and he lived.

It sounds like a great idea but unless they are a sportsman/sportswoman you may make the situation worse. My experience was with a female Walmart manager that knows me and knows me as being a cop, I had come to their assistance many times. I asked her what time I might be able to get a box of ammo(9mm) back in Nov/Dec2012. Her response was that she doesn't care if anyone gets ammo and if problems and headaches continue she will discontinue orders. She said that she has no obligation to order and sell firearms and ammunition.

I don't think this is anything new, 357 mag brass has had a market since I remember.

I would agre as well, the Keltec P40 was punishment, it is my belief that the the Shield in 40 is as mild as a full size 40.

I have owned the 40 version of the Shield and now I own the 9mm. There is not much difference in shooting the two, obviously a one round difference. I would not hesitate to buy the 40 again. Besides, if you don't own a .40 you need one because of availability. If you found a new Shield for under $435 OTD just buy it no matter what caliber it is. For a short while S&W was selling factory 9mm barrels for the 40 version for $80 but they are not now. Hopefully we will get 9mm conversion barrels from the aftermarket soon.
