I'll be more than happy to teach you the ropes. I live beside Hamilton Place and I need to load up some .40's and some .380's. I'll send you a PM later.

I have bought 5.56 in the last month 20/8.99 at Sportsmans Warehouse. Of course there was a 3 box limit. It really sounds like your paying too much.

I am actually very familiar with the large beast. The current market for that gun with extras is about $700. I will tell you though, there are as good of guns for a lot less money. Sigs Pro series can be found for several hundreds less and is very comparable in features. The rail is specific to H&K's and their accessories, the mags are pricey, and the mag release is different. I wouldn't buy one today but they are great guns.

It's hard to believe but the way things are is about the best we can get about insuring stolen firearms get recovered. If you could search a database to discover that something(TV, bicycle, firearm) is stolen most people will hide that item and never bring it out. Very few people will surrender the item to police. Truthfully most stolen items get stripped of all valuable untraceable parts. All you have to do is walk into a ffl in TN and do the transfer. They enter the serial number and we recover a lot of them that way. Occasionally guns get shipped off gunbroker to TN before they get caught. TN has a pretty high recovery rate of stolen items compared to other states. As with any purchase if it is too good to be true it probably is and you should stay away. If you have a funny vibe you should also not purchase the said item.

Or they may spend all their tax return on divorce attorneys where their wives flipped out at the credit card statement this month.

The people I know that all work at walmarts, some are management, are saying they are only putting out a couple of boxes at a time whenever they feel like it.

I don't know where you live In Northern Hamilton County but ask your neighbors if they saw anything. I mean anything, even a different car in the neighborhood. Any recent painters or construction workers in the neighborhood lately? I have noticed A large amount of thefts in nice residential areas occur while painting, remodeling, roofing, and etc is going on. It was a Friday-Saturday so the likely good of a teenager is great. Any trouble kids in the neighborhood? Someone you know? If your around HWY 58, do you know David Randal Thomas? This sounds like his MO. I would say the odds of the gun being recovered one day is actually pretty good. Yes any police officer can run a serial number but they are only supposed to do it with the weapon in their hand. No over the phone checks.

Dives, I recommend calling the detective handling your cases to make sure NCIC is showing your weapons stolen and that it is being handled as a open case.

Crazy isn't it? A TN HCP holder would be in violation of state law while a armed off-duty officer would be in violation of a federal law

"Also, make sure you understand that LEOSA does not exempt officers from the Federal Gun Free School Zones Act." Still written into HR 218 as of the last revision in 2010.

After many years in law enforcement this is the worse 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 a ad like this. Sit back and wait for the day it gets pawned or is located on a traffic stop. To give you a example I get about 1 call a month of someone asking me to run a serial number. I say sure bring it to me and I will run it only after it's in my hand. If it is stolen I have to take it. They always say never mind.

I was lucky, walked in and walked out with some right around the new year. GT's is amazing.

The Sig 220 is one of the finest handguns I have ever shot. If you don't mind a slightly thicker gun the 226 should be just as great.

I have never shot a M&P 40c but I have shot a Shield in .40 and it had almost no recoil. I could only imagine double stack M&P to be as nice.

Apparently you like things short and extremely top heavy, I have a 5' 300lbs sister if your interested.

Almost everything except .22, .223, and 9mm at the Signal Mtn Walmart today.

There is really a lot of difference in both. The biggest one being a striker fired XD compared to a hammer fired Sig. The Sig is a little fatter but still carries ok. Magazines for the Sig will be a little bit more expensive and not quite as easy to come by. Both guns are have a pretty good reputation and are worth the money. The Sig 2022's used to be a great value for under$400. I doubt you will find one for that price now.

I don't have the link but they have mentioned that they would consider not building the SUV here if...

You should only use small pistol primers. Do not use anything else. If you find small magnum primers let me know I need to load up some380, 9mm, and .40. Seriously, even with a chronograph I doubt you will tell a difference between the different primers. Supposedly rifle primers are harder so the worse that may happen is some weak strikes.

The reason for the 4 year replacement has to do with CALEA. I know for a fact Glocks can only be 4years old under the rule. Being certified is a huge deal for departments. It means a lot for the careers of every officer and city. It also means they get a huge insurance savings. Someone brought up a good point that maybe Sigs have a life span of 10yrs. This may mean that CALEA recognizes Sigs Good for 10yrs also. http://www.calea.org/

Don't get me wrong. The Sig 220 is a great gun and one day I hope to own one. They shoot great, better than other Sigs and definetly better than any 1911 I have ever shot. This was cheaper than giving a raise, cheaper than hiring new officers because they are board and have nothing to look forward to. I guarantee you all the gripes about "crap" within the department and city have been silenced for a while. I bet most of the guys on here have been through half a dozen carry guns in the last 4 years. Do I agree with their choice? No, because I think the G22 is a better police duty weapon as long as the officer has trigger discipline. Higher capacity along with the .40s&w slightly better penetration of body armor add to the economical value of Glocks and 40 ammo.

CORRECT!

I have fiddled with one before and the biggest complaint is there isn't a travel stop, meaning it's anywhere between full up or full down. There is no click or bump to hold I in place.

Most agencies are going DAK nowadays if for no other reason to get a lighter first pull(Secret Service). If it is a expense to taxpayers, it is a small expense to improve morale in the department because I can guarantee they are excited about it. I bet it may cost almost nothing with police trade-ins snd confiscated firearm tradeins. The grants for firearm upgrades are out there but I understand that comes as a tax funding.

LEO are really supposed to carry only in schools while on official buisness. You just reminded me of why I prefer a Kholster over a Supertuck. The crosses really draw attention.
