    CZexy!
  3. While I'm fairly confident, looking forward to a great opportunity to see how my Kimber Micro .380 handles over a volume of fire. I will also participate in 1959 vibe with a 3" SP for a backup. For the Ego Crushing Christmas Event, I'll bring a proper sized gunfightin' pistol.
  4. I really enjoyed this class, the nature of the drills required less target marking and pasting, which allowed me to participate more. What I learned and was reminded of: Long range pistol - at 20-25 yards, the OEM CZ night sights are gigantic in relation to a 3 1/2" aim point. In my struggles, Randy took a shot and even he commented on the poor long range, small target sight picture. Do I upgrade the sights or commit a to a RMR project... With zero live practice in the last 60 days and limited dry work, it took me a bit to get back up to speed. I think my teacher may have noticed my lack of any effort. Short Range Rifle - if you've run an M1 carbine, you know the joy. Had 2 failure to feed, 99% sure it was ammo (PPU) related. Ejected spent case, new round didn't quite chamber, holding bolt open, tap, rack, back to work. The Fiocchi ran great, I can definitely tell it has a bit more juice than the PPU. I'll give the 1% to the 30 round mag. The reason most folks struggle with 30 rounders in the M1 is the mag catch. The M2 mags and catch have an extra tab on the side to help keep the mag from sagging in the well. I installed an M2 catch and have no issues. Flip side, the 15 round box mags with LRHO cut in the follower are very handy for manipulations and stowing in pockets. I typically get extra weak side practice being a lefty. For the dynamic rifle work, move to right while engaging target, I was forced to practice smoothly changing shoulders and hands while sweeping the rifle up. Pretty smooth even with layers clothing topped by a twill jacket. Shooting while moving to the right resulted in hits upper right shoulder area with a good number of misses. If your assailant is armed with a parrot on his shoulder, I'm your guy. Move then plant, much better results. From past experience, a red dot is an advantage if you have to switch shoulders. My reminder; I can work out of pockets pretty efficiently. For training, a basic, minimalist rig and dump pouch would be nice to have, but I'm pretty practical and thrifty. I hope you will consider joining us for our next event... currently posted!
  5. Getting my first flintlock. (Sorry Jamie, I couldn't resist)
  6. Because white, gun owning, believers in the sovereign individual and individual effort and accomplishment are being systematically targeted by progressives. While those OK flashing folks are obviously systematically targeting all non-white minorities with hate and violence. See where non critical thinking gets you?
  7. A pack of them were living in the wooded area behind the apartments on Holston Drive down from the Burlington library a few years back. Within the city limits, straight shot to downtown. I haven't seen any in my area of NW Blount County.
  8. I'd like to encourage folks to come out. I am an unpaid spokesman and range valet. It will be fun and informative. Fun in that we get to shoot. Informative from the perspective of where is my skill level with my choice of PDW (rifle, carbine, rifle caliber pistol, PCC, or even one of those modular Glock or Sig pistol frame gizmos) And, is my choice of PDW reliable and do I like shooting it? As always, don't worry about not having the coolest, most expensive stuff. My very first carbine class was with my 10 round HP995 with a $40 BSA red dot. Worked out of pockets and kept up with some nice ARs and 2 Tavors. Not too late to join us, easy to find, you'll be home by 6-ish depending on travel; affordable, safe, quality instruction.
  9. I have a cool 4 trunk hickory tree, normally very fruitful. Haven't seen many on the ground this year either. 3 permanent, fed-em-once stray cats, so only the occasional suicidal squirrel. Dry weather have any impact?
  10. Beto agrees https://pjmedia.com/faith/beto-vows-to-strip-tax-exempt-status-from-churches-that-oppose-gay-marriage/
  11. Good night sweet Princess And let flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. Please pray for the family of Michalla Danielle Sisson. She was a beacon of light in this world of darkness. She made a difference during her 24 years on this Earth. She made an impact on me, and I only knew her for a year. She was ready. I recall reading something in the Bible about being ready because you never really know when the Master will arrive.
  12. https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/nra-carry-guard-terminates-remaining-policies/ If you're worried about Carry Guard being cancelled, drink your problems away. Andrew Branca stated, Separately, and coincidentally, today I received an email from the NRA, addressed to me personally. Was it about NRA Carry Guard, and the steps that are being taken to make sure that something like this never happens again? Of course not. It’s an invitation to join the NRA wine club. I kid you not…
  13. Or my repurposed hardside, foam removed, pistol case?
  14. State religion caused the deaths of millions during the 17th century. Protestant Sweden, in the pay of Catholic France, hiring both Catholic and Protestant mercenaries to fight Catholic Hapsburgs. Kill em all, let God sort them out. Fast forward to the UK, the founders realized the head of .gov as well as head of the recoginized, legal religion was not a good mix.
  15. Check him out, there may be a mutually beneficial opportunity.
  16. A politician openly stating the source of his moral compass.and personal lifestyle choice.
  17. I like the way they truly incorporated the sights into the slide. The porting is probably a good idea; any ill effects if shooting from compressed positions and/or entangled?
  18. $124 after rebate, wow. Thanks for the link!
  19. Congratulations on your opportunity to retire on your terms. If staying doesn't increase the package, other than a consistent paycheck, you have no reason to stay. Definitely have stuff to do. I have a friend in his mid 60s, retired at 50, his wife and friends still works, he's been a loner for 15 years... In my world, I suspect I could have retired at 50...if not for good old fashioned American consumerism. My money guy says I can afford to retire at 62, only 11 more years.
  20. Well beyond illegally entering a home, brandishing a knife, or pointing a gun.
  21. Justification for evil black rifle open carry? Self defense, none. Going out with intent to kill? "Well officer, I am out hunting those high brow Farragut Yotes and I was using this here yorkie-poo for bait." Someone has got to have a cool night vision set up to help improve child and pet safety.
