  1. Arizona brand tea (no, I don't think it actually meets the Southern definition of "tea") comes in some very thick plastic 1 gallon jugs. It's every bit as thick as a good quality gasoline can. I use them for water storage. I also use one to store old oil and gasoline to take it out to the Trinity Lane hazmat site. Sometimes it takes me a while to get enough used oil to fill it up, and it has never had a leak. If it can hold old gas and oil for a year, I think it can handle water.
  2. It's like any other IWB, but not actually connected to anything. The friction from the outer skin along with the pressure from your waistband/belt keeps it in place. The inner lining is just black ballistic nylon, so your firearm won't stick inside. There's welting along the opening made from the rubber stuff, so you do get about 1/4" of grippy on the inside edge. That keeps the firearm from shifting around inside the holster. They also have mag holsters.
  3. Here's my review of the Remora with a Kahr PM9 http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/firearm-accessories/58088-remora-no-clip-holster-review-kahr-pm9.html#post739014
  4. I took a leap of faith and bought a Remora no-clip holster for my Kahr PM9. Mine has the RFT option, which means that there is a thin layer of something stiff in the core between the inner and outer fabric for the upper half of the holster. Basically, if you insert your firearm, from around the trigger up to the mouth of the holster, it's stiff. The lower portion remains plyable. Yes, I know that sounds dirty, no jokes please. The width of the mouth can still be pressed closed, but it's not plyable like a regular fabric/neoprene holster might be. The purpose is to allow easier re-holstering because the insert keeps the mouth from being pressed closed while the firearm is drawn. Now for the review. Pro The build seems to be quality. Nice stitching. No frayed ends or edges. A nice even quality build. the clipless design allows a truly customized cant, and even depth to some degree. You can't make it ride high if you like yours that way. It has to be low, but you can set it to exactly how low you want it to be. It's grippier than a grippy thing that is grippy. I can wear my Kahr PM9 all day and it doesn't seem to move at all during a normal around-town kind of day. In and out of the car, up and down stairs, just general movement. I have worn it while doing yard work, including planting in the garden for about 3 hours. In this case, it did tend to slide up, but only by about1/4". Or maybe my pants slipped by that much. Either way, it was in no danger of suddenly falling out of my pants (See above comment about jokes). I can wear it w/o having to cinch my belt as tight as I do with my XD on a CompTac Minotaur, but this could be down to the weight differnce of the XD and PM9 more than the holster. It's tuckable (see con below) and ambidextrous. I'm a righty and it allowed my to experiment with the holster at 5 o'clock in a lefty configuration. I didn't care for it, but to each his/her own. Con When dropping your pants (for any of a multitude of reasons), you have to remember to grip it between your thumb and your waistband or it will fall. It's not really a problem and I find I'm already instinctively doing this. It is tuckable, but because it's so grippy, you have to give your shirt a good tug to get it to untuck and expose the firearm if it's time for business. When doing so, I can feel the Remora slip up a little. Again, not so much that it will come completely out, but enough that I notice. The CompTac's kydex allows the shirt to slide off much more easily than the Remora's grippy skin. I haven't tried it with an undershirt where the Remora would be between that and the outer shirt. Not sure which one it would grip to more. It will certainly grip to skin much more than to clothing. In the end, I'm happy with the product. It does the job well, looks good, has a quality feel, and was a reasonable price ($29.99 on their site for a #4 holster). I like it so much more than my High Noon single clip that holds a Ruger LCP.

  5. I caught a few episodes when it was new. 24-light is a good description. It was entertaining enough, but not so much that I couldn't wait for the next episode.
  6. PC player here - Observations may be different on console versions: To me, COD and BF are totally different games. The only thing they have in common are being FPS games. The COD series more of an arcade style run-n-gun fast action shooter. Small maps with fast respawns keeps the action going with the expense of having some really sucky respawn locations from time to time. IW typically gets it right more often than Treyarch, but IW stumbled a bit with MW2 (the departed COD team was evident) with the low player limit, obvious port of a console game, and total lack of dedicated servers. ThenTreyarch hit a homerun with BlackOps. But by and large, IW did better than Treyarch. Treyarch gets a big +1 for having a Capture The Flag game mode and a bigger +1000 for zombies. If IW goes back to their MW2 server formula with MW3, I'll probably pass. I'd forgotten how much I hated it until BlackOps was released and it reminded me of how a PC game is supposed to be hosted. I don't think I'd go back to the MW2 method. Battelfield rocks for its vehicles but blows as a ground pounder. The huge maps and many more players than COD suck when you walk/run through it all the time. I always feel like I spend at least 50% of my gaming time trying to find the action. Vehicles help that alot. Respawning on a team mate was a brilliant idea to get back in quickly too. For ground-pounding, the hit boxes are extremely small compared to the COD series. In BF2, BF2142, and to a lesser degree in Bad Company2, you can go prone, line up a perfect kill shot with a SAW, open up on a dude with his back to you just 50 feet away, and he can turn and kill you with his handgun before you finish him off. Unless you can snipe, vehicle on vehicle fights is where it's at with the BF series.
  7. Not as cool as some of those others, but there's Red Caboose Park in Bellevue. It's on Hwy 70 between Old Hickory Blvd and I-40. It's what the name says...a park with a red caboose in it. You can't get in the caboose, but the play area is pretty good for kids up to about 10 years old or so.
  8. Maybe. 1) I buy a gun for $750 for my personal use, decide for whatever reason to toss it up on TGO Classifieds and sell it for $1000. 2) I know where I can get a $1000 gun for $750 and purchase it with the intent of selling it for the profit. Either way it goes from licensed dealer or individual, to me, to my buyer. Either way I pay $750 and make $250 in the process. The difference is in the intent. In #1, I intended to keep it for myself, but didn't. In #2, I never intended to keep it. The intent was to earn profit. That's the hard part to prove in a case like this. What was Shipley's intent? Apparently the jury thought his intent was to buy and sell for profit. "Mr. Shipley was thrilled to be paid for a job that allowed him to practice his marksmanship, his family says, and stepped up his firearms sales in 2005 to pay for his wife's medical treatment and expenses when the couple adopted their daughter in September 2004 and their son in August 2005." If he was selling off his pre-existing collection to pay his bills, no problem. If during that time, he was also purchasing those same items he was selling, I think the prosecution would have a decent case that he was buying with the intent of reselling for profit. On the other hand, if there is no proof that the main reason for the purchases was to make money for his family medical/kid expenses, then they're throwing a law-abiding citizen under the bus for being an unintentional cog in the cartel gun-running machine.
  9. Cicada Invasion Survival Guide: If You Can’t Beat ’Em, Eat ’em! (Cicada Recipes) mmmmm. Delicious.
  10. There was some fun autocross going at the GoodGuys show at LP field this weeekend. As usual, the Camaros and Mustangs had the fastest times. It wasn't a long course. Typical times were in the 35-45 sec range. 32'ish was about the fastest I saw.
  11. Once we set a date, I'll know better. If I'm not out of town, I'll be there.
  12. Free bump for a great seller and a great gun.
  13. This.

  15. I drive in from the west side every day. Before 7 is no problem. After about 7:15an you'll probably lose all of about 10 minutes to the traffic. Without traffic, it's about 5 min from Old Hickory Blvd to Briley Pkwy. With traffic, it's 15, 20 tops. Take Briley around and you'll be fine. Traffic from the west side (accidents excluded) really isn't very heavy.
  16. Breaking News This just in: Gun City still blows. In other news, the Pope is Catholic, Donald Trump has bad hair, and the Minnesota Twins lost.
  17. Naw, that's just the rapture. The world won't end until October. I'm hoping for lighter traffic during the daily commute for the next 5 months. Harold Camping - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

  19. I'm 6'4 and 175. I find that I can not in any way conceal a double-stack and hide the corresponding bulge. About 4:30 is the best position with my XDsc in a CompTac Minotaur. I can make my Ruger LCP all but disappear even in a cheap High Noon holster. My Kahr PM9 in a Remora holster is only slightly more noticable. The LCP and PM-9 are both single-stack. I know I give up round count, but they are infinitley more concealable and more comfortable.
  20. It's not D3vo's technique. I've fired his CM9 since the failures began (actually, they began while I was firing it*). I have had no problems from my PM9. I hold them both the same way. D3vo has also shot my PM9 w/o failure. Using WWB in my PM9 has been fine for both of us. It's a problem with his CM9. I don't think it's operator error at this point, though it's possible it's the ammo in his CM9, even though my PM9 likes the WWB just fine. The recoil spring in his CM9 is longer. Like he said, we dind't measure it, but I'd say from my semi-decent memory that his has an extra 3 turns on the spring over mine. *maybe I broke it
  21. Personally, I view them the same as someone who posted legally as far as how I feel about the business. I'd rather take my money someplace else. In reality, I do business with legally posted places because sometimes I just have to. As far as carrying, I might carry past that sign. It depends on the type of business, how long I'll be there, how likely I am to be "made". I'd be extra conscious about keeping super concealed. There's no case law that I know of yet, and i don't want to be the first. No, they didn't meet the letter of the law, but it's clear what the shopkeeper is saying.
  22. I'm thinking Principality of Sealand, Historical Site through 5 June 2000 may be more realistic.
  23. Cliff's Notes version: "Now that he's running for President, I want to tell everyone why I think Newt Gingrich is a tool. Oh...the 1980's were so much better. So much so that I want to have Tip O'Neill's lovechild." There. I saved all of you 10 minutes of reading the article.
  24. Or late? During the week it's pretty empty by around 5:00 or 5:30. Does it empty out then on the weekends too?
