I cut my ties with UT Football about a decade ago. Even Dooley was able to hand Ga State a loss. I don’t believe UT even practiced in the preseason or even prepared for Ga State.

I have some of the ring products. My only complaint is about a 12 second delay sometimes in being able to pull up the alert.

My dad carried a few American Derringers through the 80s and 90s. I have shot about a dozen derringers in my life and owned a few. I had the opportunity to shoot a 45-70 a few years ago and regret that I passed. I prefer the American Derringer but find the Bond ok. To me they shine as a back up to a rifle or large handgun nothing small is chambered in like 45Colt, 44 mag, 10mm, or maybe 45acp. My 45 Win mag wasn’t really all that bad. I would say 38 spl is the most powerful you would shoot for fun in a regular basis.

Agreed! Sig to hell and back...

I finally got the Sig p250 to 100%. It honestly took more time and effort than it was worth. I polished the feedramp and replaced just about every spring without it performing any better. A couple of new mags didn’t matter either. An experienced gunsmith looked at it and determined that the chamber was too tight. Seriously, he took a dremel, and a reamer, and opened the chamber up a hundredths of an inch or two. So far it has been flawless for the last 250 rounds.

It dawned on me that at this very time exactly 75 years ago, the first of the Allied Forces were jumping into France. The amphibious landing crafts would land a few hours later. All those brave men will be heavily on my mind over the coming days. God bless.

You don’t ever see those. Rare to say the least.

The P250 and the P320 share the same grip modules, magazines, barrels, and a few other smaller parts. I appreciate the offer. What city are you in?

I managed to fit a Glock spring in the Sig mag. I plan on testing it today.

I always wanted a Sig P250. I have eyed them for years and past on one or two that I later wished I would have bought. I won one on Gunbroker for what I thought was an amazing deal (about $250 OTD). It is used but in very good condition. It’s a 40 subcompact and only came with one magazine and no box. I picked it up yesterday to be surprised by the excellent condition and half-life night sights. Call me crazy, but I actually wanted a .40 since my department has vowed to stick with them for a lot longer and I am swimming in .40 ammo. I seriously have about 3k rounds with most being hollow points. Well, I went to the range today and was less than impressed. My groups were the size of my fist at 10yards, but the failure to feed rate was about 5% or about 10 failures in 200 rounds. I’m thinking it may be the magazine as the spring actually feels weak. I was actually wanting to trim a compact grip to work with a subcompact slide; some of my attraction to this model. I plan to try a Glock spring in the subcompact Sig mag tomorrow. I am tempted to go ahead and order a new compact mag and a compact grip hoping I can make it run. Anyone around Chattanooga got a P250/p320 mag I can borrow for testing?

I have one of the 2017 Colt Cobras and I love it. The new Colt King Cobra pushing a little north of $900 is a little much for me but the one I handled was super impressive. I may end up with one anyway.

Steelharp, what is the street price?

I have a Sept 2018 686 that has the three holes on the top strap.

I have never shot a 17L or even a 34 that I can remember. One of my grandfathers had a G24 and it was a softer and more accurate shooter than a G17. I would think a 17L would shoot like many 22lr pistols. Have you thought about a H&K in 9mm?

I looked at a few H&Ks at GT’s the other day. I always forget how massive the H&Ks are.

Maybe they are a little higher in Nashville, but I have seen several for $399 plus fees on shelves around Chattanooga. If you buy online you can get close to $399 OTD.

I think it is a pretty good buy at $200. If you don’t have a 4” k frame buy that one; everyone needs one.

JMB thought a lot of the BHP.

I had never heard of it until I had a piece of the brass get mixed in with some similar sized and shaped brass.

If your used to a Glock and have tons of 9/40/357 holsters there is a reason to love the 36 over the Shield. However, even as a mild Glock fan, the 45 Shield is better in every way.

A little bit of a bite, but it is a great shooter. It fills just like a 357 magnum of similar size and weight. It makes sense; a 40S&W is the ballistic equivalent of a 357 mag. I have a 60-10 and they recoil the same.

I have a Charter Arms Pitbull in 40S&W and the extractor system works wonderful. So far it is has about 200 flawless rounds through it.

I kept saying I was going to buy a new Cobra, but the price put me off. I could have had one new for less than $700 OTD; either through GT Distributors or a couple of online vendors. I walked into GT’s to find a used one for $550 with a $65 Desantis Holster. I bit, and now own lightly used Cobra. I have put about 300 rounds through it and I love it. It has a better trigger than my vintage Colt D frame and outshoots it. I am glad I found one for basically $150 less than a new one. Now it wears vintage Herretts Shooting Stars.

I have never chopped a grip, but I have always wanted to. If I had a super reliable 17 I would rather chop it than start all over with a new 19. If you messed up or even decided you didn’t like it you can just pick up a used 17 frame or a 80% Lower. I would do it myself and go slow.
