I like mine. Not sure why. You'll love the smooth crisp 87lb double action trigger.

I was in Scottsdale, AZ the other day.  I saw a bumper sticker on a parked car that read: " I miss Chicago" .   So I broke the window, stole the radio, shot out two of the tires, added an Obama bumper sticker and left a note that read, "Hope this helps.”

I've already installed a D model hammer spring, performed a trigger & action job, & installed an Elite II skeleton hammer & after a long wait, I finally picked up a SGS style compensator for my Beretta 92G Brigadier Elite. It adds a little weight up front & has three upward firing ports. The Brigs already have a gentle recoil so I can't wait to try it out with the new compensator attatched. I'll try to post better quality photos when I take it to the range.

9MM AR for various reasons.

They tell everyone 3-4 weeks but the ~10 people I have recommended them to got them in under 2 weeks and some inside of a week.   It is a lot better for business for your customers to receive their item early than late. People will raise holy hell if their product is a day or two late so it is better to over estimate and have a happy customer than under estimate and have a pissed off one.

The ol man laid one out Wednesday. Nice looking mountain buck for upper east tn.

You're running a heat pump. "Emergency heat" is a backup heat source - generally electric for when the ambient temperature outside is too cold for the heat pump to operate effectively. As an old physics professor of mine used to say, "when I see that light come on, I know I'm going to be eating peanut butter sandwiches..."

Just went by Dicks. All handgun ammo is 20% off yet they are still at least 20% higher than other vendors. Their rifles and shotguns are on sale. The only thing that peaked my interest was a Mossberg MVP for $409.

Sorry you pulled the trigger.    You should shoot both before you buy. I've had both and never liked the recoil of the Rugers. Check that....maybe I should say Blackhawk and  I got rid of one years ago.   I've shot the Redhawk and they don't have the trigger the S&W's have.    I passed on a Blackhawk .44 mag a few months ago. He wanted $250 for it. Had it been a Smith.....

The no permit law in D.C. is part of the reason my brother recently transferred to another state. He lived in VA & had a CC permit, but worked for the D.O.D. & had top security clearance, but was still not allowed to carry in D.C. or at his job because of idiotic gun laws. The last straw was when he was working at the Navy yard & witnessed the shooting last year. A good friend & co-worker of his was murdered along with other employees because they worked in a "gun free zone". If the employees had been armed, there would at least had a chance to try to stop the gunman, but our govt. sees legally armed citizens as more of a threat. Disarming legal gun owning citizens & posting "no gun" signs does not make America a safer place. To this day I've never heard of a gunman politely asking permission to go on a shooting spree!

I guess it's time to change the name to reflect gun season.. Just wanted to gives you a heads up so you could find it this time ;)

  Some Knoxville PD officers are carrying Sig 1911's now...swat guys or something like that.  The rest are carrying some other type of Sig .45

In the winter it would be very bad, just how will you heat your home?

My “go to” guns are handguns, but the rifle I keep ready in case I need one is a .308 Panther.

If its trouble, Biden says for me to use my Hunter Arms Double Barrel, but I prefer my Winchester 1300 Defender!  If its bad, I will give the Defender to the wife, and use my M4.  Then if the SHTF is at my door, then I will give each of my boys a AR and then I will reach for ...........itty bitty miney mo.......you probably do not want to know.

Its hereeeeee! Received a notice yesterday it shipped 2nd day, and the tracking number said it would be here Monday. Oh well! Today at lunch, just checked the delivery number again, and WOW, it was out for delivery to my LGS. After work, swung by, and yep it was there. Paid the transfer and TICS, and yep I am now a proud member of the 1911 club, I plan to shoot it next week. Less than 96 hours after I pressed enter on the computer and now its in my possession. Now to fill out the rebate papers for the $100 and I will then have ~$634 OTD price. That was a good deal, I think. Here are some pics.

  Yep. They never really took off in mainstream demand till Dirty Harry, then SW had to crank up the line. Then 90% of the folks who bought one during the craze wound up selling them and demand returned to the norm.   - OS

Mossberg 500 turkey gun with about any size shot 4 or larger.

870 Remington Express with 12 point Buck Shot.

Whatever is closest. ;)  Likely the 870 with 3" Hornady Coyote Magnum if in good light, low light is with my FNX-9, spitting Speer Gold-Dot 124gr +P, and Streamlight Protac HL

I have contacted Keltec and wish they would make these in 22lr. I would have bought one the second they came out at double the MSRP if they were in 22lr. But because they refuse to make one I will not be buying one. Making it only in 22 magnum was one of the most idiotic choices they have ever made and they have made a lot of idiotic choices.

There are a lot more officers that do this and more, than people could ever imagine.   God Bless.

870 Tactical with 3" 00 buck

  Different brands, same on the business end when the hair is up on my neck enough to have one out. Usually just a couple of Glocks in a caliber slightly less than 46.

My Colt LE6920.

  Yep, the yellow in a yellow flame is the glow from unburnt soot caused by incomplete combustion.

  It's what K191145 was talking about in post #13 and what jtmaze said.   Aux is when the heat pump runs and the heat strips/coils kick on to supplement it because it's too cold outside for the heat pump to draw any/enough heat from the outside air. Emergency is for the heat strips/coils by themselves. The heat pump compressor itself will not be running. The fan blower will be running in either mode to move the air.   Aux will kick on if it needs supplemental heat. Emergency will kick on to keep you from freezing to death until the repairman arrives if the heat pump craps out or freezes over. Both use the electricity-hungry heat strips/coils.

  It's a bit of a niche market to try to appeal. They're neat to look at and play with but let's be honest, how many people flock to the stores in search of one? Not many to say the least.

My heat pump has "emergency heat" on it, but I've yet to see it come on. I assume it is to keep you from freezing until the repairman gets there? :shrug:

Some really nice looking deer in this thread! Congrats all!

Nice, that's a tall rack! Sure he's excited, tell him congratulations

Nice buck, congrats to your Dad.

Not yet but I'll add it to the list

Saw this comment on the Walmart 20% off guns deal.  If anyone is considering getting a gun at Walmart on Black Friday or that weekend, I would certainly recommend this.   Go to your Walmart TODAY and put the firearm you want on layaway with 10% down. Pay off your Walmart firearm in full on 28,29 or 30th Nov and the final sale will reflect the lower 20% discount Black Friday Price. This way you can reserve any firearm they have in stock and they will hold it for you. No need to fight the crowd on Black Friday.

When you say they are off by several thousandths, how many are we talking?  I suspect there are a couple of things that could be going on.  One, Lee dies use that rubber o-ring under the nut when you tighten down the die.  Is it getting slightly loose some how. You may try adding a hornady locking ring to your die and trying that.   Second issue which I suspect could be more likely is a difference in the bullets themselves.  Are they seconds or anything like that?  Try setting the bullet depth using a comparitor set similar to this http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PD5VLA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.  It measures off of the ogive, therefore when you set your die, it is set based on where the die actually touches the bullet.     Measuring OAL to the tip of the bullet isn't as accurate due to small variances in the bullets themselves.  Using this method, your OAL can actually be different, but the fit of each bullet in the chamber will be the same, therefore improving accuracy because it keeps the ogive the same distance from the rifling in the chamber when seated.

That's why I love my gas furnace, it's warm, toasty, and cheaper than electric.

CHANGED the car HOPE it helps!

That's not ugly, it's utilitarian.

Hold one and you'll see it's value, it has it's strong suit and that is being INSANELY light weight. Also, it's threaded... *pew, pew*  :cool:

couple of things to remember   They HAVE to pay you diminished value for the accident.  Your car now has a lower resell value because there is an accident on the title.  Don't let them screw you around on that because they will say "the car was only worth $8000 to begin with, we're not dealing with a Corvette so diminished value doesn't apply" or something similar to get you to back off that, but don't.    Don't use their shop, find your own and deal with them directly.  Their shops have a contract with them because they do cheap work, not because they do OEM quality work.   You need to get reimbursed for any time and trouble that you lose dealing with this mess.   Don't need to exaggerate anything, but they need to compensate you 100% for everything this has caused.  You didn't ask to be ran into, their customer did it to you.   Getting it fixed or getting the payout is personal preference,  I wouldn't personally be able to drive around a wrecked car just because it would irk the crap out of me knowing I took such good care of something just to have someone else ruin it.   <edit> and remember the most important thing... they don't care about you or the car, they care about how little they can get away with paying you - because that's the job of their claims department.

  I resemble that remark!   Besides, the correct terminology doesn't rhyme with "Jingle Bells" so I claim poetic license.

The difference is the ability of the barrel to lock up in the same orientation to the slide every time. Mechanically that is a fine line between success and failure. If you can machine the barrel, barrel bushing, slide and frame to a perfect fit; you have success, but if you tighten the fit to perfect or near perfect you may be in trouble when you apply the coefficient of thermal expansion. Therefore you need enough clearance to repeat but not so tight it locks up or drags when it heats up. Use to be those guns were machined “one off” and hand fitted. Today those can produced in much higher numbers. Will a custom built target 1911 operate perfectly with Bubba doing mag dumps? No. But he will blame the magazines, ammo and everything else before he admits he’s using the gun for something other than it was designed for. The biggest factor is the shooter. People who don’t have the ability or don’t shoot a lot will spend $3500 on a handgun and expect it to shoot 5 shot touching groups at 25 or 50 yards. So what will happen if you spend $3k on a 1911? You will tighten up that group to as tight as you have the ability to do. Is it worth it? Not to me, I don’t shoot in competition anymore. If I did I would probably do it. But that’s your call. So the bottom line is you get the physics, metallurgy, and ballistics that you pay for, the rest is dependent on your skill. Your revolvers don’t suffer from the problem of the barrel and the sights moving separately; so you shoot it better; we all do.

I got up early this morning in hopes of catching another glimpse of the big one that I caught a few glimpses of yesterday evening. I wanted to get in the blind at least an hour before daylight to ensure everything was completely settled back down by daylight. The guy that hunts the farm next door saw that I had put a food plot in so he decided that he'd put a stand up about 30 yards away to try to catch deer on their way in (yea that's a b!tch move) but anyways, they decided to drop someone off with the 4 wheeler at that stand as the sky was starting to light up, so much for letting everything settle down huh... I was having a very hard time staying awake listening to the rain falling on the roof of the blind but a doe running at full speed caught my eye. She came straight over the fence from his direction headed straight towards me then made a hard left and into the trees she went. I wasn't sure if she'd busted him and was just getting out of Dodge or if a buck was after her but just in case I flipped up the plexiglass window and before I got it latched I saw another doe coming in at a fast trot//sprint with what looked like antlers growing from her back. The I realized there was a buck with his head up her rear end so I stuck the rifle out the window and had plans of grunting to stop him long enough for a shot but that wasn't happening. I tried grunting, whistling and finally I tried screaming all of which he paid zero attention to, I mean he never broke stride. I wasn't sure if he was the big one (he wasn't :( or not but I knew he was big enough that I was going to shoot him anyways so I took a quick shot as he ran by me. He ended up running about 30 yds down the hill into the woods before he fell dead. Here he is,

Change his clothes and he would look like an ISIS member

Hiding from the government makes no sense. If you want an AR lower that is not tied to you just go to any show and buy one from one of the guys standing outside. No one, especially the government, is the wiser to you buying the lower. There are tons on the various websites as well.   With the way the ATF is raiding those selling 80% lowers for customer lists I would be more afraid of buying an 80% lower than a serialized lower from someone face to face.
