Trimming the fat.Looks like most are fixed sight models.The 17 has been rumored to leave the lineup for a while. I can kick myself for passing on a 17 MOS earlier this year for $400,that model was discontinued a year or two ago.

GT‘s shipping to Tn consists of walking about 10 steps to the back of store which is in Tn.They have computers set up there to do the transfer and paperwork.

I’m not surprised Outpost is no longer a Blue Label dealer. I did a private trade with a regional sales manager for Glock last year and in our conversation he stated Outpost didn’t have a good reputation with Glock.

You think they would have came up with a different name for those sights

Made by Dan Wesson. I looked at one at a U.S. Money shop a few weeks ago,price was right but upon examination it had a cracked in the frame below the cylinder.That might be something to keep an eye on.

I carried a 43x for over 4 years.I’ve also carried a 19 for a while as well.The 43x is more comfortable to carry and handle than the 19.Downside to the 43x is less capacity unless you want to use aftermarket mags and increased recoil.

That’s about what I thought it would be.With Blue Label pricing and plenty of used Glocks on the market it’s not hard to find the real deal for the same price.

They shoot on Thursday nights.I’m off Thursday-Saturday but I’ve never had the time to drive up there.I love shooting indoor matches.I shot at Guncraft in Knoxville for years and ran a weekly match in Chattanooga for about a year.

They still have the sleeved barrel,no thank you

I don’t think any bbq fan thinks Bucee’s brisket compares to home smoked or from a good bbq restaurant but for gas station food it’s awesome.It’s up there with Weigal’s chicken strips or Godfather’s pizza to me.

I’m admittedly late to pistol optics but at least 2 companies make a direct mount sight for the Glock MOS system. I guess collaborations are the big thing now

I’ll be glad when they open in Murfreesboro.

Nighthawk Custom 1911 drop-in trigger
et45 replied to Robert23's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
This was invented by a gunsmith named Mark, forget his last name who lived in Knoxville for a while.He worked for Clark Custom and moved up to Tennessee to work for Hamilton Bowen. -
GT Distributors usually has some.They have a Tennessee room for Tn residents.

I have a lot of Glock mags so I’ll get one in a year or so in case it has any kinks that need to be worked out.

So, how many guns do YOU have? A rhetorical Thanksgiving question.
et45 replied to LeeTheToolGuy's topic in General Chat
Maybe 20.I’ve never owned much more than that and during the lean years between 08-12 it was less than a dozen.I’ve never been a collector. -
But you get style points and likes on FB and Instagram

Good knife for edc and one for battle belt
et45 replied to starncannon's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
I’ve carried Spyderco knives for over 20 years.Natives,more PMs than I can remember but my EDC for the last 2 years has been a Stretch with a ZPD 189 blade. -
I’m 60 so he was my generation’s Tarzan,RIP

Question : Would you buy locally made Ammo?
et45 replied to DraxTheDad's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
It’s not an easy business to break into unless you have the money and connections with primer and powder wholesalers.Case in point in the Chattanooga area I had a friend who tried it with under $10K invested,he failed in no small part to the run on components in 2020 but North Ga Reloading is still going strong with 2 or 3 stores in the area. -
Outpost Armory

GT Distributors contacted me earlier this year and told me they had a Vicker’s Master Class come in.It was priced almost $500 more than the first run.I passed on it and last time I was in there it was gone. I found an Emissary locally for a ridiculously low price. I’m going to have a local gunsmith who does great work replace the internal parts with Harrison Custom ones and do a trigger job with those.I’ll still come out cheaper than the original price of the Master Class with was I think $1,500.
-
I posted almost the same thing about 14-15 years ago and someone who isn’t even on here anymore called me a troll.

I liked Horizon.I sat the entire 3 hrs plus previews without going to the restroom,a major accomplishment for my 60 yr old bladder. I had a feeling part 2 wouldn’t be shown in the theater.I had no idea they had planned a 3rd and 4th installment.It should have been a HBO miniseries.Back to the original post I‘ve been a movie goer since I could drive.Since Covid I have probably been 4 times.There’s just nothing I want to see coming to the big screen. I don’t have a streaming service so I’m missing some good stuff there.

I 2nd Bullseye in Murfreesboro.They have a great selection of steel targets including resetting plate racks
