*Looks around leans in and whispers* Because someone way over there needs to be set on fire! In all seriousness, if I could get my hands on a real deal RPG ammo or 40mm HEDP rounds, you bet your ass I’d have them. Why? Why not!

I’m not going to weigh in too heavily on this particular matter at hand, but it’s generally a pretty safe bet to assume that anonymity doesn’t exist on the internet.

Thomas Binger learned nothing from the Rust/Alec Baldwin fiasco ("unloaded" gun with human finger on the trigger can go bang & kill people.) Surprised the judge didn't put a stop to this behavior right away.

I do find it amusing that the left thinks electric cars are the savior of the environment while also believing that energy is evil. Where do these electric cars get their juice?

Then I will agree. Ruby Ridge is never far from my mind. All I'm going to say.

I'm thinking a hung jury. No way this kid could ever get a fair trial because MSM and the liberal internet already convicted him within hours of the shooting. But hopefully there are at least a couple of unbiased, honest people on that jury.

When they make one that can go 600 miles on a charge, run 80 MPH and recharges in an hour, maybe I'll consider it. Nah, not really.

The new flat trigger S&W is using is amazing. A buddy of mine wanted me to try out a few guns with him, he had his heart set on a Shield Plus and didn't know if he wanted the PC version or the plain one. They have that new flat trigger. It was amazing. I liked it so much that I am going with a flat trigger in the custom Glock/Dagger I am building.

Yep, what good is one who can design the umbrella but doesn't have the sense to open it when it rains.

Agree, actually. there is little no anonymity anywhere. But, I can't see getting too paranoid over this issue. Personally, I'm not going to hide under the bed for something that may or may not happen. JMHO

No no no... guns are the original Pokemon. Gotta collect them all.

Sitting here going thru the ton of daily email crap I get every day, and saw the news on the 10mm M&P. I have to admit it is interesting. Still not sure I want to get into another hard hitting caliber at this stage of my life...blame goes to arthritic hands; but this and the Rock Island 10mm sure do get tempting. However, just about anything tempts me when it comes to firearms. Why couldn't I just win a great bunch of money and just buy them all?

Are you on a VPN? Anyone here personally know you? I don't have a cyber masters degree, though my degrees are in IT, I can safely say that unless you use some great fieldcraft, they will find you straight away.

When it gets that far not much else will matter anyway I imagine. "They" have a good track record of ruining your future unless you are wealthy enough to squeegee off the mud on your name.

If you think that will prevent them from knowing who you are, you don’t understand how these things work. Anyone with any real technical ability will know that in short order.

That's one reason why I use a screen name that doesn't contain my name, and I do not post my location.

I read one account that said Binger was pointing that rifle "toward" the jury. Too bad the jurors didn't dive for the floor or shout for him not to point the rifle that way.

Even back when Armslist was useful, I found the classifieds here to be better. Members here are more responsive to posts and messages, and you can select deals that are within driving distance. Armslist used to be full of ads from sellers who'd respond in a week or so and say "Sorry, I forgot this ad was on here" or "I sold this last week and forgot to take down the ad." Traffic to TGO is more consistent and, well, there just tends to be a higher class of people here. Plus the moderators here will thump the occasional moron who shows up. Cheers, Whisper

Rare photo of a rare plane. Convair YB-60. They completed 1 prototype and were almost done with the 2nd when the program (and both airframes) was scrapped in favor of the Boeing YB-52.

I ordered a new Ford Maverick truck a couple of months ago. It is in transit and should be here next week. I could have ordered it in a hybrid that gets 42 MPG. I paid $1,100.00 extra to get it with a standard gasoline engine instead of the hybrid. I expect that one day electric automobiles will be the norm but at 70 years of age, I doubt that I will be here to see that day. I think electric cars are still very much in the experimental stage and I will let someone else do the experimenting.

The " electric " thing is just another approach to picking the consumer's pocket by lying about the environment. Lotsa " children of lower estate " believe that electric vehicles are cleaner. They ain't, unless the energy is produced from nuclear plants. The electric vehicle will not be a success until the battery charging, performance, n driving range problem is solved. Watch the electric heavy truck business. If it works, then other electric vehicles will be viable. I'm guessin that I'll be takin my rest by the time they are a viable contender to gas n diesel machines. I'm now in my 75 th winter. Dont trade your gas/diesel machine just yet. By the way, I spent 38 years in the electric utility business. lectric leroy.

Pretty much all of them south of Park Avenue and most west of Highland.

Correct. And contrary to what some believe this is also why we left a certain lithium rich area not too long ago . BBB LGB FJB

Eh, ever since I learned that they were the kind of company to hire and support murderous federal agents who were part of Ruby Ridge, they ceased to exist for me. That’s one company TN could have done without.

Collection for possible testing. There are several different types of stones & knowing whether it's a calcium vs uric acid stone will point the way to future mitigation.

I'm sure in my life time we all will most likely own one. EV are super quick YT has 100's of videos of Tesla beating Vipers, Hellcats, Vets on drag strips by a lot. that reminds me The new 2022 Hummer EV has 1000HP and 11,000 FT/ LBS of torque, not sure what nut head engineer came up with those numbers, but I know GM was testing in MOAB and they came up on several H1 and declined to wheel with them.

From what I understand, a lot of the raw materials for the batteries come from China so I think I'll pass. The same thing applies to solar panels.

(Answering to another forum) "Hey Rob, did it pass yet? " I literally just got back from the urologist about an hour ago. Nope, the little bastard is still Shawshanking its way from my kidney to my bladder. I've had a cluster of other complications though. 6 days of constipation as a result of the painkillers basically left me non- functional for 23 hours a day until this morning. That resolved itself quite emphatically at 10:15 this morning (my butt actually made a noise like "puh POW!") & the rush of immediate relief literally brought me to tears. I haven't eaten anything more substantial than a Jello cup since 8pm last Tuesday & at this mornings weigh in, I've dropped 18lb since then. All of this stems from drinking far too much, for far too long, getting a scare & just stopping dead. My urologist gave me a particular stem, yet caring talking to, showed me his chip & explained that I'm basically a freaking idiot. My body went into 'dependency' mode & decided to hang on to all the toxins I've been faithfully supplying it for the last 4 or 5 years, creating the perfect environment for a stone to form, grow & release in super record time. Throw in an opioid pain killer (which I've always fought against & persistently refused) & I had a kind of gastrointestinal cascade effect. Nothing could go anywhere & all the toxins I'd accumulated just sat in place working their nasty magic. Soooo......yeah. Life's been kind of a painful, vomit fueled ####show for the past week. Bright side though, I should pass it any time now & once it's gone, I'm told, my system is clean & clear.

Gotta get those evil damn guns off the street and Memphis will be a utopia.

No surprise! Although I never had a problem there. When I visit Memphis, I am careful where I go. Seems like Nashville is working hard to move up that list.

I hear ya. I originally bought a .45 full-size and a compact 9mm. The .45 had the worst trigger that I've ever had. I learned from that one not to trust a salesman who shows you the display model and pulls another off the shelf to sell to you. I check the trigger first. The 9mm kept ejecting the magazine on its own. Apparently, it was a design flaw in the weapon as Smith sent me a new magazine release and it still kept ejecting the magazine while resting in the holster. I do like the 10mm. I have a Glock 20 that I like to shoot although all Glocks seem to irritate the side of my trigger finger.

And never confuse intelligence with wisdom. There are a lot of intelligent people who do not have the wisdom to properly apply their knowledge.

If you looked at my social media you'd find I had a pro 2ndA stance and political leanings that most would assume align with that. Although some of my fakebook friends are a bit over the top politically and post off color humor I try my best to keep it clean and not hateful despite my desire to join in full steam. No pics posing with my rifles, No memes promoting violent solutions to the mess we are in today. Despite that I'd say that turd of a prosecutor would easily use some of my posts against me if I was on trial for SD. And I'm an older dude with not a lifetime of posting. Lord help those who began posting crap in their stupid teen years!

Why do you need a gun? The purpose is kill someone. You can legally buy a canon, but, why? You sound just like all of the antis.

I use the manual that manufactures the bullet, ie: Hornady bullet, Hornady manual. Did a bit of research a while back, just out of curiosity ( too much time on my hands? ). What I found was, using the same type/ weight, etc, bullet, different manuals show vast differences in powder charges. I don't like to push my luck.

Nice buck and just enjoy the nice freezer full of meat and unless you were planning on a mount the rack will make a few nice knife handles....

I wish I could say I'm surprised. But I'm not in the least. Seems like everyday the news starts with how many were shot today.

I'm with you on the local trade shortage. Ever since Armslist started charging, the wheel fell off a smooth operation. Yeah, you had to be goon aware and be way careful but a lot of good folks were shopping there too. To my knowledge, the classifieds here is it. Smoky MY FAVORITE M14 TWEAKS AND TIPS

LOL! I feel like I’ve done more than my part on that front.

I think if this ever happens to any of us they prosecutors will bring up TGO and any other gun forums. I hate to think how bad it would look if you have ever had any firearms training or competition using firearms.

Yep, exactly what I've been b!tching about. So if thats the case then bicep boi and his handgun should be on trial next for bringing danger to a friendly protest right ?

One of my all time favorites was a nickel model 19 with a 4" barrel. Wish I had it back.

Thanks to whoever moved this thread to the correct sub forum! Finally got one this morning.

One of my all time favs!

The Sand Pebbles.

I have about 200 rounds through mine now, no malfunctions whatsovever with a mix of 147 gr lawman, 124 gr winchester, 115 gr federal, and a magazine of hornady xtp 124 gr. The trigger was excellent and seems to be even better now. finish is holding up and internals looked good during a detail clean. Im very pleased with this pistol, so much so that I lucked out and got another one for my oldest son, a consecutive serial number, both 3 digits. I paid a little over msrp, but lifes too short and you cant take it with you. Hes shot and handled my 1911's, my sigs, glocks, cz's, you name it, but he lit up with this one! Its going to be worth it to me when I give it to him!
