  1. Video killed the radio star. This will kill sellers as they hire for / pay for the staff or technology for tax collection and remittance. I wonder how many out of country sellers will happily collect and never remit.
  2. David and team are awesome. Having examples from both, I prefer CGW over CZC.
  3. I think CGW has DIY YouTube videos linked in their site.
  4. I have one of them millennials in my basement. Whether it's generational or how he was raised, I've never detected the first bit of exclusiveness based on sex, orientation, religion, skin color, heritage, etc. He includes or excludes based on words and actions, individual by individual. I believes he subscribes to the notion that judging a person by the group is for peawits.
  5. Hippest tuba solo ever?
  6. Have never done a FoF, not sure our ground is appropriate. Thanks for the 2 day suggestion!
  7. just saw my first one feeding on the second blooming of our Rose of Sharon Hope it will find the feeder on the front porch. We typical get one constant visitor who doesn't seem to bring friends along
  8. We can offer a 2 day course with focus on a primary weapon, more specifically handgun. Short range carbine and shotgun lends itself to a one day due to the topography. We're a little limited to the extend of long gun drills. Another option is a pistol based class day 1 and a complementary, but stand alone course on day 2. What would encourage you to attend?
  9. Nothing is off the table at this time
  10. I have a 19 cut to a 26; the longer slide / shorter grip increases the forces for muzzle flip. I agree a shorter grip height makes for better concealment, but a 19 isn't that much smaller than a 17.
  11. Looking to late September into November, is there any interest in another training opportunity with Randy Harris? Content: open to suggestions, Randy has structured courses to cover a wide variety of topics. One day topics we've done in the past: Co-ed attendance (thank you Mrs. GtG for being the hostess with the mostest), defensive markmanship, pistol skills assessment, short range carbine and shotgun, and most recently Point Blank Pistol Skills. Hope you will consider attending!
  12. The liberal news is using this! It is the gun, if a highly trained armed professional can have a ND, anyone and everyone can and probably will. Sickening
  13. It's not a warzone, but visit areas of high public housing and don't be caught unprepared. The 81 - 40 - 75 corridor makes Knoxville / Chattanooga high on the list for drug trafficking. Safe to assume that the gang activity and drug sales siphon off into our communities.
  14. JThanks to everyone who attended the first official Harris Combative Strategies training seminar in the Valley. Got to attach screen names to people I've met, ChancesR and Ghost Dog. Does Byrl have a TGO nom de guerre? George (the property owner and first class brother in law) had a great experience, which was my concern. Randy exhibited his low key personal instruction as George has zero formal training and noovice level with his Glock 17. Safety was rock solid; briefing, pat down, sims guns and with increased awareness and vigilance, no one recieved a lead infusion. 4 - 4.5 hours of dry work, including interaction with another student. At low speed, applying gross motor skills, we got to work with against a live person to acquire better position. Builds awareness of other options since not everyone need to be shot. Make space, reduce space, move / pull an arm or even administer a manly slap across the face. Gain access to your weapon and run away or engage. 1.5 - 2.0 hours of shooting from 3, 2, 1 against the tacman from the 2, 3, 4 draw positions. Randy makes learning fun and I had fun. Ran my 75B Omega with no malfunctions. What can you do with a 36oz pistol and CGW 3.5# SA trigger? Shoot the crap out of it. Side note: larger pistols and loaded out mags can make for wonderful blunt striking weapons.
  15. Despite the rep of Memphis, it is a major metropolitan city. There are areas of Knoxville I don't drive through, day or night, armed or otherwise.
  16. Weather looking good, will post an update on ground conditions this evening. I should be there by 8:30 to start registration and distribute the course outline. Please note, this is the first official training session in the Valley for Harris Combative Strategies. My cell is 865 919 3909, reception in the valley is intermittent. I want this to be a great experience for you, so please call or text anytime with questions or concerns. I will also add, you can't bring to much "stuff" If you think you might need it, bring it. Other than humping it to and from house to vehicle, parking is close and accessible to shooting area (I still can't quite call it a range) Pull in, turn to the right, pass through the gate. After class I'm planning on running a few mags through my M1 Carbine to see how the new extractor is holding up. Feel free to bring anything you need or want to function test... Don't forget to bring a backup and mags for it in case your primary goes down
  17. When does an 18yo become at expert on anything due to one traumatic experience?
  18. Inquiring minds want to know (and a legimate buyer will provide proof of identity / address and sign a BoS if required / requested)
  19. I see cigars, for smoking?
  20. Lobbying is a multi BILLION dollar industry. Paying people with expense accounts to influence elected officials. Is this what they mean by, "the business of government?"
  21. My buddy had (already sold) one his due to the striker pin issue. According to his research, users are experiencing broken pins, sounds like a timing issue. On his, he was noticing the pin was dragging when examining the spent case. Some reports to fix is a heavier duty after makrket striker. Other than that, he really liked the gun. Buddy opted to sell since it was going to be an EDC and his opinion, "I shouldn't have to upgrade parts." Argument for wait and see when brand new models are introduced. On a side note, he is a 320 fan, 2 or 3 FCGs and 4 different chassis'
  22. It's tempting to buy a truckload of sub $100 junk gunz, turn them in, get the kudos, get them professionally valued, and get the fabulous tax deduction
  23. I want, but have zero need for a .38/.357 lever. With a little practice, you could probably keep it running for serious situations.
  24. Gives hope that you can find some decent stuff at a gun, survival, jerky show
  25. Did I read the total to be sold is 80,000? 8,000 - 10,000 per year until supply exhausted? I'm willing to wait until they figure out the sale and delivery is such a pain that demand drops... Shame we can't get a million M1 carbines from Korea and have a fire sale.
