beautifully restored mosin nagants
BigK replied to ironsniper1's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
I don't see anything "bubba" about what the guy in the video did at all. It's not like he decreased their value or ruined them. He improved them and made them look really nice. These aren't rare collector's pieces. They make nearly 40M of these things. What he did is no worse than hanging a vertical grip on an AR-15. -
I barely ever buy any .32ACP ammo except S&B and Fiocchi, because they're the cheapest. I haven't had an issue with S&B at all. So, if it does have a thicker rim, my P-32 can't tell the difference. I know that isn't much help to you, sorry. It may have a worn out or out of spec extractor. Send that bad boy back and let Kel-Tec look it over. They have GREAT customer service and are aware that extraction/ejection problems are common. They'll probably install a new extractor, even if they can't replicate the problem, test fire it, and send it back home.

I've almost picked up a Sig 2022 several times. Do you like yours? Isn't it a double action only? Is that CZ you're talking about the [url="http://cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-p07-duty"]P-07 Duty[/url]? They have a full size too, called a [url="http://cz-usa.com/products/view/cz-75-sp-01-phantom/"]SP-01 Phantom[/url]. I had one once...never forgive myself for trading it...18 round mags are awesome. CZ made another polymer 9mm back in the day too. It's their 1st poly gun, called a [url="http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg/chex/cz-100-e.html"]CZ-100[/url] and they are less than $380 some places.

I have one I might consider parting with. Only catch is it comes with 2 mags, a holster, the original 7.62 barrel and a 9mm barrel, reloading dies, some brass, and some bullets. If you're interested in the whole package, shoot me a PM.

The fold-down center console/armrest in my truck goes all the way to the front edge of the seat. That leaves no room to tuck one between the seats, so I had to try something else. Otherwise, I'd have preferred this as well. I'll have to take a pic of how I have mine set up. I didn't attach it directly under the steering wheel for the exact reason you say...too awkward to draw. Plus my knee hit it when I got out and it came loose from time to time no matter how much I tightened the straps. I'm not too worried about someone looking in my window and seeing an empty holster attached to the bottom of my dash. When the door is open, the steering wheel kind of blocks its view where I have mine attached.

I have that Gum Creek rig on the underside of my dash to the right of the steering wheel. I don't see it as a permanent place to store a handgun. That's what the safe under the seat is for. I put my EDC gun in it when I get in the truck and take it out to reholster it when I get out. It's a lot easier to draw from there than my hip when belted in.

Doesn't see how anyone could watch Dora the Explorer without Kleenex and lotion.

+1 ...again, well said!

I like the idea of a list, but we're not all shopping for the same things. Plus, we all have different thresholds on what we'd call gouging. Do we measure by percentage or by dollar? Charging $30 for a pmag isn't the same as charging $90 for a brick of .22 or $130 for a tin of 7.62x54R. I'm just saying, it's all relative.

The Bill of Rights was written for Dzhokar Tsarnaev
BigK replied to East_TN_Patriot's topic in General Chat
From reports I've read, he's naturalized citizen. So, regardless of the heinous nature of his crimes, he deserves the same due process as any of us. Assuming he survives his wounds, the atrocities he's accused of will likely get him life, if found guilty. I can't see Massachusetts sentencing him to execution...TN or TX, sure, but not Mass. -
This is sage advice and I hope everyone is paying attention to who's taking advantage and who isn't. I hope the shops/people that are gouging right now have 2" of dust on their hoarded over-priced stuff or wind up competing with Walmart prices when it's over.

I like the building and the parking lot situation better when the gun show is in Hendersonville. My chief complaint is that it's too far of a drive for me to go both days like I can when it's in Murfreesboro. I'm always getting back home and wishing I'd bought something I passed up.

The crowd wasn't nearly as bad as last time. There were lots of good stuff and some decent prices on guns. In fact, most of the ARs I saw were priced about right, not quite what they were last summer when I was looking, but not bad. Most of the SD/HD ammo was priced well, but target ammo was ridiculous. I don't think I saw a single 50 rd box of 9mm for under $30. I made sure to voice my opinion about the assholes selling $70 -$90 bricks of .22LR too. I saw several tables with $130 price tags on $90 tins of 7.62x54 ammo. I walk right past those tables without even looking at anything else they have. Best 2 deals I saw at the gun show: 1) $30 leather belts - nearly 1/4" thick, excellent quality, chicago screws instead of snaps, roller buckles 2) $35 rifle bench rests - large wide base, 2 sm storage compartments w/ lids and 1 large storage bin, rubberized rests w/ front/rear straps Coolest 2 things I saw at the gun show: 1) got to meet Hickock45, he's a really good guy 2) Printed cardboard box that converts into portable, ad-hoc, non-permanent, gallery-style shooting target and stand

The style of the Stealth Gear holsters is the same as the Crossbreed, King Tuck, Comp-Tac, etc. It's a superb design for IWB. It distributes the load, retains the gun very well, disappears under an untucked shirt, and is comfortable enough for all day. My concern is the fabric Stealth Gear uses. Being "breathable" sounds like a good idea until you realize that sweat is going to now be able to come in contact with your gun. That's one of the good selling points of the leather/kydex hybrid holsters like Crossbreed. The leather acts as a sweat barrier to protect your gun.

I've tried them all it seems. The firehose toys are tough, but my stubborn ass Olde English Bulldog goes after the seams. The material itself holds up well though. ^^this The black Kong toys are expensive, but they last for 3 or 4 months. The red Kong toys are okay, but my American Bulldog has no trouble shredding them in a week or 2. and ^^^this I think these are the best. I have rope toys that have lasted for years, even though the rubber handles and such are long gone.

true, but that "lawful authority" part is moot when the cop in the video thinks he's exempt from laws
-
I agree completely, but would add that a phone call from some hand-wringing ninny because they were scared doesn't mean the cops have a duty OR a right to act unless they have PC that a law is being broken. If I called to report a person smoking, do they have a right to roll up and man-handle them, search them, seize their property for inspection, and detain them on the outside chance it might be dope instead of a Winston? Just because they got a phone call? Hell no, they don't. They have a right to watch them, make attempts to figure out the situation, and then decide, based on their training and THE LAW, whether they even have a reason to take action.

Remind me to never park so close to a burning fertilizer plant with my kid(s) in the vehicle while filming a fire.

I know, but they shouldn't be during heavy traffic times.

very cool pooch...wish my lil monsters were that well behaved

If bicyclists have the same right of way as motor vehicles, they should be required to be capable of maintaining the speed limit...just sayin. ...same goes for tractors.

I suspect having the right of way will not give you the power of resurrection.

I have too many "other driver" pet peeves and y'all covered most of them, but maybe someone can tell me why holding a phone to one's ear makes idiots drive 10 miles slower than the flow of traffic? One more...I was driving home from Franklin yesterday on a curvy, hilly, narrow road and found traffic putting along at 20 mph as far as the eye could see. As some turned off or passed, I found the problem. Some jackass in shiny underwear and a space helmet is riding a $1200 bicycle in commuter traffic on what could be the most dangerous road in all of Williamson county (Clovercroft Rd b/w Cool Springs Blvd and Wilson Pike). I found myself wishing this self-absorbed prick would hit a bump and disappear down the low shoulder.

Harry Reid is fuming! A letter from Rand Paul
BigK replied to a topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
As long as Reid, Pelosi, Biden, Obama, Franken, Boxer and their ilk are around, I'll count Rand Paul as one of the good guys. I'd tade KY a Corker, an Alexander, a Cohen, and a Cooper in a 4-for-1 trade for Rand Paul any day.
