One thing this does and the main reason i'm all for having a state gun is that it makes a "statement" to the people of Tennessee and the country that Tennessee and Tennessean's are pro-2nd Amendment. Read some of the comments posted in the Nashville Scene article Oh Shoot posted, control freak liberals hate it. Passing this sends a message to them pretty much saying Tennessee is a pro-gun state, don't like it then move to California. I know there's a lot more legislation we would like to see passed but i'll keep saying it, Tennessee is far far better than many states when it comes to the 2nd. Amendment, just write your Reps to improve the laws. I bet many people complaining have never even emailed their Reps once. Personally, I think it's a proud moment to officially have a state gun and another reason I think the Barrett was a good choice is because it's one of the most controversial guns which makes the statement even stronger.   I think i'll email Ronnie Barrett and congratulate him and give him an idea for another business opportunity, M82 Tennessee State Rifle T-shirts and hats. And he owes me one of each for the idea.  :)

I'm glad the m82 rules. Since middle tn has been flooded w the west coasters and their traffic and the rest of the BS they brought I am stoked we have a state gun. If the penile inhaling populous doesn't like it move back to LA or Or gizzville wherever your candy sissy ass came from! Gotta love Christiana's finest!!!!

Guys and Gals, I now will be dealing for several more knife companies, Kershaw Spyderco, SOG, Buck First Edge USA, Pirranha, just to name a few, If you are wanting any certain model of these companies, let me know and I will give you the Best price that I can I am still a Master dealer with Protech, so my close relationship with them allows me access and favors that the other companies will not be able to afford me,

I have researched Elmax and being a one man operation it requires some things such as carbide bits and other stuff I'm not willing to invest in. It's a fine combination of high wear and corrosion resistance but I think the cost prevents me making one and selling it to most of my customers. Finding a piece of barstock even at 5/32" thick provides a challenge in itself but I digress. I do appreciate your offer though. 

    I hope you at least bought the whale a drink first.

Nope.  The barrel is rifled.  It's a handgun chambered in .45 Colt.   Any other round that can be fired out of it is just incidental. 

Sorry, but this is nonsense and you sound exactly like the typical H&K "my firearm is better than yours" guy. So if 0W20 synthetic oil works just as well as your "gun oil" it's still inferior? What do I know, I don't own any of them fancy weapons. Only ones that will run on engine oil.

Holy cow! I think I'll call the Putnam County Sheriff's Depart to see if they will sell my guns on consignment. 

At Shot Show this year, a company named First Edge out of San Diego went public with their knives, The Navy Seals in Kodiac Alaska contracted them to make a Kydex sheath that would not fail, while doing this they also requested a knife. The First Edge 50/50 is the knife, it looks very impressive the blade is Elmax steel plain edge and nearly 1/4 inch thick. These knives can now be purchased by the public they were not allowed to sell them for one year I will be getting one for myself, the MSRP is $350 I should be able to sell these for less I will be posting details about their knives, they also make folding knives and one is an auto!

So I recently got a new job that is day shift and has weekends off. I'm putting that time to good use by taking up martial arts again. These are from my first night back yesterday. We train taekwondo, Hapkido and judo. I'd also like to brag on my Dad. This weekend he was honored with his 7th degree belt. This is a red and white masters belt, as opposed to a black belt. He has been training and teaching for 30+ years and I can't think of a more deserving individual. Here are some pictures I just had to share Sent from behind the anvil

I actually agree with this idea. Safety is the most important part of owning a gun, and if takes the threat of judicial punishment to make certain people adhere to safety protocols that is fine by me. As a parent of a young child I have ensuring I dont just leave guns laying EVERYWHERE like I did when I was single - I couldnt imagine being able to cope with the guilt if something like that happens. Besides, if the Dems are allowed to push this we may get some political leeway in the way of taking down gun buster signs or getting ConCarry passed Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

That lady has had 4 strokes in the last five years. No use of her left arm or leg. But she is a fighter. She never quits and would die first. We also have a lady who is 90% blind and the wrong gal to mess with if your looking for an easy target. Martial arts is world wide and a good instructor can work around disabilities and use martial arts to improve their quality of life Sent from behind the anvil

Trump has no allegiance. He has already said he will run against the Republican candidate if he doesn't get the nomination. And all that will do is ensure Hillary will be the next president. She has already said gun owners are terrorists so you can imagine the hell she will bring when she becomes president. And Trump is ok with that. He has not always been a friend to conservatives. Trump is appealing to our version of the low information voters. I bet when Hillary gets elected Trump will get a cabinet seat or some sort of appointment for all the help he has given to Hillary. I still believe he is in the race to ensure she wins. Again, look at who Trump socializes with to understand where his allegiances are.

If you are on the fence about going, go ahead and get off of it and go. There were of all types and experience levels.

Nice...I'll bet I could make one of those.

I like the accessories where they are.  For the sake of keeping it close to the body and not hanging on stuff, I'd keep them where they are.   Likewise, if I were looking for a bushcraft sheath, I'd probably reach out and have it be a custom job - but I would probably give up versatility in the name of keeping it closer to my body.  That is, I'd choose either horizontal attachment or vertical attachment.  In my case, I generally prefer the vertical attachment.  I just get hung up when I try and carry a bigger knife horizontally.  I know it works for some people, so to each their own.   It's looking great!

Yeah might make HiPower excited he probably uses it on his 'bore brush' to 'clean' his .40s Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

I have not done a lot of research yet, but I'm thinking of just using regular synthetic engine oil. Just a quick search shows guys doing it and also guys using ATF. A quart of that stuff will go along way and if it is designed to work in a combustion engine, It will more than sit through a 200-400 round range session.

I received a P226 SAO Legion from my wife as a gift and after shooting it a bit I thought I'd share my thoughts... The Legion branding is nice, but to me its just something additional, and not a reason to buy the gun. Reasons to buy the gun are: The factory trigger work and parts. The SAO trigger breaks right at 3.5lb on my example. Like all SIGs made now with MIM parts there is s slight caming of the hammer when the trigger is pulled. I can't imagine what the trigger will be like after several thousand rounds. Normally I can't resist a little action work on a gun, but this one doesn't need it and I'll be leaving it alone. The Grips, For shooting the grips are fantastic. The checkering is just right. Many guns today seem to have slippery grip finishes. These are really good. Maybe a bit aggressive for carry but could be toned down with a light scuff to take the sharp points off. The down side to the grips is that the bottom edge is VERY sharp, I took a nail file and knocked the edge off. You cant see it, but you sure can feel it! There is also an opening (See Pic) at the bottom rear of the grip that will allow dirt, lint, etc to get into the action. I will probably fill this with something in the near future. The Frame changes, The beaver tail is nice, but not a deal breaker for me. I have a couple of other SIG's and never missed it. The front strap checkering, and undercut are nice, the undercut is subtle but feels good. I don;t think I'm going to rush out and do this to my P220, or P229, but it is a nice add on. The Finish. PVD finish is hard and should wear well. PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is the same method used to apply TiN coating to machine tool bits. This finish should not wear off in normal use. It is harder to apply than the standard Nitron finish and should wear three times better. Time will tell... Sig X-Ray sights. These are really Trijicon HD sights branded as Sig. They are truly great sights and I would highly recommend them to anyone that wants that Big dot out front. In the end you could make a nearly Legion copy by adding the Checkered Hogue grips, Trijicon HD sights, and having a good trigger job done. The finish and frame work are harder to duplicate, but it also could be added to a standard SIG. In the end you would spend a bit more even without the finish. I won't call it a bargain (no SIG is) but to get the same performance out of a standard SIG would cost you a bit more. If I already owned a SIG I wouldn't trade it on a Legion version, I'd make the additions to the gun I already have. One nice feature that I didn't realize I was getting is that on an SAO SIG the slide can be racked with the safety engaged. This makes clearing the gun a bit safer than it is with a 1911, or a SIG X-5 that locks the slide when the safety is engaged. For me the biggest disappointment is the gap at the bottom of the grip. I intend to shoot this gun a lot and It would be a shame to ruin all that nice action work with dirt and grit. When I fill it I'll let you know how I did it.

  They were probably jailers...not being negative or anything but we don't know what was going on during the stop with them so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

I think this list has been picked over by every LEO in Putnam County.

Comms is right, but it's not just us crotchety old men, there are plenty of younger fools that just can't stop bidding. :stir:

I have seen this posted in lots of places now, and have even gotten emails from friends about it. That tells me there will be lots of folks checking it out. Seeing the results of a lot of these type of auctions, I don't know that too many deals will be had. I'm guessing it'll end up being a great way to find a $300 hi-point C9 or a thrashed model 10 for $750. :/

  Yeah well... your argument lost.  "Get over it."   :rofl:

I load Power Pistol with 180 . I haven't had any issues with it.

I am soooooo gonna spread that Barrett story around on other boards.  :up: I love living here.  :usa:

Power Pistol is great for .40 as well. I have heard that it was designed specifically with that round in mind. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
