  1. I have never really kept up with all the different models but there have been a lot of Mini's coming through GT Dist in the last couple of months. Most were priced around $500-550. $550 for ones with scope mounts. Most are stainless w/wood, a few factory folders. There was one that was more but I was told it was the model accepting AR mags.
  2. Wow, I would love to find one for under $400.
  3. They really are sweet pistols. I had a 40 for a short while. I didn't find it that much easier to carry over a baby Glock, but they shoot every bit as well or better. Other than a few cosmetic flaws coming out of the factory they are really reliable and shoot better than most full size handguns. There are a few writeups and videos out there to show one how to disable the safety now if that bothers you.
  4. It's odd that anyone stock CB ST's, they are the only ones I know of period.
  5. Nashville Gun Shop says they have them for $415.
  6. Maybe he has watched Hickok45's G 27 video where he says he carries 8+1 in his.
  7. Ironically common isn't it?
  8. I bought mine for $399 at Academy the day after Christmas but now when they have them they are $429.
  9. Ask the seller the "prefix" because you are curious how old it is. They won't suspect anything. If it matches it may be worth making a meet to see the rest. An important note. Supposedly agencies must update NCIC files to keep it listed. Call the agency you filed with to check on your case yearly.

    G19 advice

    Sell it, as long as all legal aspects are met. Glocks are starting to come back around on the shelves.
  11. I have some nickel cases that have probably been reloaded 20 times. I don't even bother to sort them different anymore, I mix the two.
  12. I have watched a lot of TV over the last few days and listened to the radio. I have heard so much about gay marriage, George Zimmerman, and Obama's most recent vacation. I did not hear a single mention of the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg. Utterly pathetic America!
  13. I have purposely stayed with the basics and I'll tell you that the above numbers are right on. With 9mm there isn't much cost savings but it is fun and I can do custom loads. if I lost all my equipment tomorrow to do straight wall pistols I could spend as little as $225 for equipment and start over(plus powder, primers, and bullets). I'm in Chattanooga and will be more than happy to walk you through your first ones or you can come watch me. I do 9mm to.
  14. Obviously he doesn't want a guilty verdict. With a hung jury he is still open to a civil lawsuit, which is sure to happen. In Florida a not guilty verdict will protect his livelihood, he will need cosmetic surgery and a name change though.
  15. Pretty much what I have always thought as well. The shift work can be a little difficult but sometimes it's also one of the better parts of the job. The job can be a relationship killer for many reasons. The job can be hard on your body, especially your back and kneck, but that is pretty much true for any job where sitting or driving occurs so frequently. Contrary to popular belief, most cops don't get fat from eating too much it is the high calorie drinks. A lot of cops love to stop at every convenient store and run in, say hi and get a free fountain drink. Most places, looks like Smyrna, pay pretty well with decent benefits. If you have a two or four year degree you could maybe make more doing something else, but the average young man or woman with HS Diploma and less than 1 yr of college may make more than their peers by being LE. Getting in is so competitive now, I mean it is tuff. If you don't certify yourself it can be hard to get a job. A college degree of any kind can hurt and help, so dont worry about that. ANY arrest or serious traffic violation completely eliminates any interest in you. Most places are so politically driven you may get told you were the best candidate they interviewed but someone lives closer and they went with them. All in all it is fun, but not for everyone. Expect every decision you make to be criticized by the public, they have no clue what your job is and what you may actually be working on at any given time. As far as physical conditioning most all LE conditioning test are what you should be able to do just to be healthy. Run 1.5 mile in 11min or less, 35 pushups, and 35 situps middle aged males should be able to do anyway.
  16. As far as I know only a Ithica 37 will slam fire like that. It is pretty awesome.
  17. I figured since it doesn't have sights that was all it was really intended to do.
  18. Obviously fake, not enough debris trash and not loud enough.
  19. Very interesting, thanks for the tip.
  20. More expensive/ less common magazines and holsters greatly reduce any cost savings.
  21. Well these were not TN ABC Agents, but the TN ABC Agents I have met, and a lot of them at that, have all been top notch professional.
  22. Apology is definetly in order. However, for a color of law violation the officers would have to have fabricated the incident or such. This appears to have been a lawful detention or every reason to believe that it was. Should a repremandation or a termination occur? Maybe, but it will never happen. A civil lawsuit is very likely though.
  23. Yes, terrible tactics but still underage alcohol consumption is a crime. Unfortunately things got out of hand, hopefully the DA sees this and stops it immediately. This store probably sent her out in brown bags just to see of she would be approached. I have seen it before. Very attractive, young looking girl, carrying the signature brown bag normally used only for alcohol.
