  1. You can see those signs, too? Whew, I thought I was the only one...
  2. Haha. As far as the campus police thing, I wouldn't even call them "security police". They're just police. The officers at the U of Memphis have a "mutual aid contract" with the city of Memphis which allows MPD jurisdiction on campus as well as giving U of M officers citywide jurisdiction. The U of M officers carry City of Memphis ticket books, go to Memphis traffic court, take calls in the city near the University when MPD gets backed up (read: all the time). They have even been known to work some special assignments elsewhere in the city (such as during Operation Blue Crush - In 2006, they had officers working "the crush" in Orange Mound and Binghampton). Now most colleges have a security force as well that handles things like unlocking / locking buildings, routine building checks, escorts, etc, but they're not POST certified officers like the PD officers are. From your previous post, it looks like you're already aware of the campus police issue, but I added the previous paragraph for anyone else that might read over it and find it interesting. If a UMPD cop tries to pull you over on the opposite end of town, far from campus, don't give 'em the finger and drive on.
  3. +1 on CK1's post. I have a Lone Wolf barrel for lead. No noticable change in accuracy, FWIW.
  4. The CZ 527 comes in 7.62x39. I believe Zastavia made a bolt gun in that caliber as well that was imported by Charles Daly. Oh, and the Ruger M77 comes (came?) in 7.62x39. All bolt guns. Notwithstanding linked ammo, it's pretty much dumb to make the statement that you know ammo came form an "assault weapon" based on shell casings. And I doubt this attempted home invasion involved a belt-fed weapon.
  5. I'm guessing you shoot competitively? I know that my Glocks are more accurate than I am without all that fancy work. For me, it would be a no-go. If you use yours for competition, then sure, it's probably worth it.
  6. The larger slide releases are nice. Simple install. My Glocks wear them. The KCI (Korean) mags work great. I have a bunch that I use as range mags and they've never given me an issue.
  7. Don't get me wrong, I love a nice 1911. The only one I currently have is a Smith & Wesson (kept it because it has been flawless thusfar), but I have owned Kimbers, Paras, and RIAs. They're awesome guns and I love taking them to the range, but the SW1911 is the only I've trusted to carry. There just isn't any compromising with Glock. Sure, all manufacturers will turn out a lemon every now and then (and Glock is no exception), but as long as you know your Glock works like the other 99% of them, and you have a quality ammo, it's gonna go bang when you pull on the boom switch.
  8. Bronk, I can't answer you question since my Glocks are 3rd gen. But I can say congrats on getting a Glock! And no, there's not really any accessories for Glocks. Or 1911's. It's a shame.
  9. That was quick! Keep us posted.
  10. That's what I was thinking.
  11. Nope. Who is your brother? I work with him, whomever he may be. Now that's funny right there! In Memphis?? Tennessee??
  12. That's what I figured, too. With the concerns everyone has about liability these days, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if a company had rules against force and/or detaining. This is true. But what more does a security officer need? The statement made was "you cannot arrest them", which is incorrect. Anyone can arrest 'them'. Your later statements are correct, though, regarding immunity and such.
  13. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/national-politics-legislation/39597-us-flag-shirt-no-no-california-school.html Although, your article has more about the things that happened aftrwards.
  14. They offer more chamber support than OEM barrels.
  15. Heard on the news this morning that "balls of tar" believed to be from this disaster are washing up in Alabama. I have a bad feeling that this is the tip of a very big iceberg.
  16. I forget where I first heard it, but I like the phrase "Assault is a type of behavior, not a type of weapon"...
  17. We don't always have the best selection in town, but there are places you can get affordable transfers. Last time I checked, Arms Fair on Trinity Road in Cordova only charged $35 for a transfer (which includes the $10 TCIS charge). There are many deals on gunbroker that you could snag and transfer in. I've done a couple of transfers. Takes a week or two from purchase to taking it home, but you can save some money.
  18. I saw that, too. It looks like they'll ship it here now. I don't need any of it so I haven't tried to buy any.

    +1 And I thank him for his service!!
  20. All of the criminals think the police are out to get them...
  21. You could put up a sign that says "Beware, a -19 lives here!" along with the url to the quiz.
