  1. Big shout out to Randy Harris @Cruel Hand Luke for 1st place, Back Up Gun Division Strategy: Pick a gun you don't ordinarily shoot and carry Show up at the match Shoot Win
  2. Premium was "down to" $4.59 when I filled up in Dayton yesterday. Should I give kudos to the big guy for $.40/gal back in my pocket?
  3. Welcome aboard, great forum.
  4. I'd take it, if not for my Knoxville location. The farthest west I travel is Jackson.
  5. $4.49 yesterday afternoon at my local Stop-n-Rob for super.

    Safety

    If me and the Mrs. sleep through a forced entry, my girlfriend will more than likely let us know. In the event of a forced entry, we have a plan; not having others in the house, we can simply barricade and wait. I have insurance for whatever replaceable stuff they're likely to get.
  7. If it lets me carry past a metal detector, great. If not, I don't see my life changing. Concealed is concealed.
  8. Very cool find! RTG Parts is a great source, I have spent a small fortune on HK91 parts and accessories.
  9. We still have a few spots available.
  10. No experience, but it does look interesting. Got some brand name shooters in the vids though I assume they got it for free or may be paid.
  11. 240 for a natural emerald is a steal gents. From the pics, quality looks good.
  12. But it's not a gun registry... Maintaining records and investing the time to digitize one billion FFL firearm transactions. Buy used and FtF!
  13. Welcome to TN and TGO!
  14. I hesitate to comment as LT Dann is quite the wordsmith. Full disclosure: I began training with Randy in 2012, weaseled my way into his good graces and served as his Range Valet. After thanking students for investing in themselves, I did the same. I passed both the basic and advanced Range Master instructor courses to attain the position of assistant instructor for Harris Combative Strategies. However, this is the first time I've met John Hearne; he is an excellent speaker in the classroom and positive coaching influence on the range. The classroom content was broken down over 2 days into 4 hour blocks. John discusses how the brain makes decisions and why it does so. He then takes a deeper dive into best practices you can employ to improve decision making under stress and remaining in a rational state of mind until the event is over. Pretty cool stuff, John turns a presentation into a conversation, which keeps the audience engaged. One point he highlights is adding novelty to your training to remove novelty when it happens for the first time. The course of fire accompanying the lecture was pistol fighting in low light environments; LT Dann describes conditions impacting adversely manipulations. Randy often asks students, "do you want the novelty of 'well, this sucks' to happen in here in class or for the first time in a fight?" John explains (effectively with a few graphs) what the decision making process looks like. Best way I can describe is he shows all complexities than impact / influence Boyd's OODA Process. There is a lot going on. My takeaway: if I'm making these decisions / taking these actions for the first time or worse, on the fly, my best chance is my attacker is more inept than my level of training or awareness. (Can't remember who originally used the concept of 'ineptness of the attacker' as a method of survivability) I hope to either train as a student with John or assist at another Harris - Hearne Event. HCS does have a 2 day red dot pistol class 4/30 and 5/1 at Windrock Shooting and Training, Oliver Springs
  15. Jamie, thanks for supporting Randy!
  16. Anybody scroll to the bottom to see the company timeline? First entry includes "filed bankruptcy" and the remaining history is filled with the automag being used in movies and videos games with outstanding reliability and results...
  17. I'll try to quote Tom Givens, "high capacity means you get to reload less, not shoot more."
  18. You just need to shoot it from a proper pistol
  19. $60 for a quality leather bag is a deal, GLWS!
  20. Gateway Pundit and PJ Media have some reports posted, modern website technology.
  21. Just heard this one on KLove
  22. I hope you end up with a waiting list, this is an awesome offer. I don't hunt, but would hang out and enjoy if I lived closer!
