When I took mine the requirements where the same as yours. I shot 98% with my first round being head high 3 inches right. The next rounds all center mass. When the instructor was grading my target I saw a slight grin on his face and he looked up at me and said Lawyers Bullet and I just smiled and he graded it at 98%. They have made it a little harder to pass the shooting session than when we were shooting at them but since then I have downsized my targets to printer paper targets to keep up with whats going on with the classes. I will be glad when doctor turns me loose so I can get back in the range but he says 3 more weeks minimum.

Can't say yes or no since I would need to take a look at what you have first. I'd love to have a stab at it tho. Nothing like a good old gun challenge! Heres a Moor's Patent #1 .41RF Derringer that I just fixed up for a guy. The barrel latch button was snapped clean off. So the order of the day was weld the pin stub up hi enough to weld a screw head onto the weld nub and make the button surface checkered as good as you see on the side of the grip with some ware and tear on the button so it doesn't look too new. Came out pretty good since I had to guess the button diam from pictures. Expensive little puppy...

I'm actually glad to hear this. The current Remington is not the Remington of yesteryear. They make a low quality product and try to ride their previous reputation. Their customer service is atrocious. I'm still waiting on a rebate from two years ago. They received it, said it was good, then cleared it from their system. They said they cleared all the actual records out. Mine just had a note saying it was received after the date. I even had screenshots of showing when they received. They didn't care. After looking online, it seems to be the modus operandi. These huge conglomerates need to be allowed to fail.

Pre 70 Series Colt 1911 Govt Model-Factory Error. Slide marked Commander Model- Harrison Fixed NM Sights, Greider Long Trigger, Ed Brown Extended Safety. I have the original safety & rear sight. This Colt was configured to somewhat copy The MEU(SOC) 1911's the Marines used. Great Old Colt-Factory Letter $1300.00 PM with any questions. I can show more pic's if wanted. Will not ship. Thanks for your time. I'll consider trades of Gold & Silver Bullion on any of my listings.

So, how much $$$ is a ticket for going 25,000 miles per hour?

Aw, "the man" is everywhere these days. LOL

My wife's instructor graded her 100 and commented that there was no way to count 50 holes because she had done well. Considering the long time they had, over 45min to complete shooting 5 round strings. It isn't hard to keep all of them on an 8x11 sheet of paper with that much time. She practiced by shooting paper plates at 7 yds.

Welcome aboard Mr.Mildot and hope you can make that move to TN. I read your recent generous offer and exchange with hipower. "Gun Folks" are the best, no matter where we may find ourselves. I look forward to reading your contributions Sir.

Don't cut yourself short HP!!! I'm guessing he still puts his pants on one leg at a time...........JMHO

I offer you my official welcome to TGO. You got a good start by finding us so quickly. You'll find many helpful people, with lots of knowledge available here. I don't include myself in the latter group. I'm more of a point and pull the trigger sort of guy. Looking forward to having you here. Although your qualifications sure put me at a disadvantage. lol

My wife just got hers. Course of fire is: 20 shots at 3yds 20 shots at 5yds 10 shots at 7yds A perfect score would keep all the shots in the 7 ring on the B29 target. This is equal to keeping them all on a standard sheet of copy paper. There is no time limit. Passing score is 70pts, each shot is worth 2pts. Good luck!

Welcome to the forum. Maybe we can welcome you to Tennessee sometime soon too.

This. I'm not sympathetic to the point of propping up a company just to keep a name in business. I want quality gun companies competing in the market, not famous names that are raided and reorganized to maximize shareholder benefits above good products and customer service.

Going to be interesting to see how they define "safe". I wouldn't put it past retailers to push to include what are in reality gun cabinets to the exemption. It's arguable that they prevent gun accidents by curious kids, which is a clear intent of the bill, so I don't think I'd mind. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk.

Howdy and Welcome to TGO Hope you get your move soon.

I was tasked with repairing the lock works on this particular revolver and found the design quite interesting. The first thing that strikes you about this revolver is its a waay more heavy duty build compared to the common Colt 1860 Army. Its an odd double action design that can not be thumb cocked into a single action directly. Its primary action is a straight up double action trigger pull that includes a click back hammer position to keep the hammer off the cap by only a short distance. However, there is a single action hammer position that can be obtained by use of the trigger travel stop that is a selective trigger stop. In this pic you can see the stop in its single action only positioning. Positioned this way, the trigger will not drop the hammer but it does cock the hammer into a ready to fire position like this... Once the hammer clicks into this position, the trigger returns to the forward position and then you can fire the cocked hammer by fingering the hammer sear positioned in the rear of the trigger guard. Certainly odd but functional for those preferring a far lighter "trigger" firing. The main feature of this revolver is the ability to remove the cylinder despite extreme fouling. In this shot you only need to thumb the take down screw loose from the right side of the frame and open and remove a loose cylinder. The colt and Remington designs of the day were not very good at handling multiple load and firings in that the cylinder axel pins are directly below the barrel cylinder gap. Once these axel pins become excessively gummed up with fouling, the Remington cylinder pin was near impossible to move forward threw the frame for cylinder removal. The Colt was a bit better at forcing the cylinder forward over a skanked up axel pin but non the less gumming up the action's function. The Starr was a far better design in this regard since the cylinder had a integral extension that defected hot fouling from the cylinder/barrel gap, keeping the bulk of it off the cylinder spindle nose. In addition to that anti bind feature, the cylinder ratchet design is by far the most robust I'v ever seen! The big revolver is quite comfortable in the hand with the wide smooth trigger face and generous grip spur for the web of your hand. I can see why the Government paid $25 per the 25,000 revolver order. Unfortunately, I think the Achilles heal in this design is the super tiny hammer lifter flat spring. This spring is installed in the hammer body via a typical of the day peen pinch. These little springs either snapped or just loose their tension and when that happens, the trigger sweep can no longer pick up the hammer to move it rear ward. When coil springs eventual took up this task decades latter, double action revolvers really came into their own reliability nitch. Incidentally, that little spring is what was the problem with this well used Starr.

I don't have a timeline for that right now.

That's pretty funny, as a man whose youngest child has only within the last 2 years learned to use the "potty", I can recall disposing of many a bag of that description containing foul substances. Thank you for acting so quickly, at least helped make the best out of my poor planning and got some more PMags into circulation. Please don't put yourself out over the 10 rounders, it's a very nice gesture and I appreciate it, but there is certainly no obligation. Besides, I won $45 dollars on a slot machine in the Las Vegas airport on my layover today, so it's a net gain.

You’d think it was 1918 all over again with all the hoopla and germ-bags walking around. I’m feeling a bit of the grippe myself. Further proof our high-dollar “best medical care in the world “ can’t predict jack as the shots this year were yet another fail.

Hard to refute any of that. As we say....bless their heart:-)

Knoxville tactical in Powell has been A+ to me.

It's been gone for years, they just won't bury it. Once a company gets into a position where being owned by the capital management hyenas seems like a good idea, its extremely difficult to recover. Even the massive surge over the past 6-8 years couldn't overcome nearly $1B in debt.

wipfel, our Usher Team policy is not to go out of our building and approach, once we are locked inside. We are an unarmed team, and I only conceal carry for my own personal protection. Our leaders wants us to stick to the policy, and just observe. If this continues we will contact the Police, after we get some pictures of his car and tag. Our team focus is on safety of our church, locking entry doors, and keeping one person on observation while Bible class and worship services are going on.

While I would never part with my 19, I have to admit the one that makes it to my hip 95% of the time is my Shield .45. Just hard to beat. Thin, 8 rounds, a great carry .45.

Today, I am re-opening The Swamp political forum. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong about things. I was perhaps wrong to completely remove non-specific politics from TGO since it is something that many of you care deeply about and since politics are so interwoven with our lives, especially as gun owners. If you don't want to read about politics, simply avoid that forum. That is how I will handle it for myself and I hope you will do the same. This forum will be different in a few ways: Only Benefactor Members can post a thread or a reply. Anyone can read them but if you want to contribute you're going to have to show us that you are investing something back into the TGO community and aren't just here to stir the political pot. The forum will be password protected. The password will be "I AGREE" which will be a reminder of the fact that you wanted access and agree to conduct yourself in accordance with TGO's rules. If you're going to wallow in the mud, you can't complain later about getting dirty. Because it is password protected, I don't think it will show up in the New Posts activity search. You may have to set up your own Activity Stream to follow that forum if you care about it. If the crux of your thread is could be construed as "hate speech" against a group of people purely on the basis of them being in that group (whether race, gender, sexual inclination, political party affiliation, etc.) you should think hard before posting it. Ask yourself if there is any value in- or hope of- exploring the topic in a civilized manner that moves the ball down the field. If there isn't and your thread will just fan the flames of ignorance, bias or bigotry... we're going to hold you accountable for it. So, why the change of heart? I've been listening. You guys have made it clear that localized discussion of politics is important to you. When I considered it, the reason why was almost too obvious. Politics and gun ownership in any country on this planet are inextricably linked. Politics, gun ownership, and the politics of gun ownership are in fact reasons that this country even exists. Our founding fathers had a different opinion on how men should be governed than did the King, and one of the King's early efforts to shove them back into line was to try and confiscate all of their firearms. The rest is history. While I hope that the majority of politics discussed on TGO relate to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, it is impossible for me to ignore that people who are passionate enough about their own liberty and safety to own, train with, and license themselves for carry of a gun are going to be prone to talk and want to be involved in all political things. We are, by our very nature, an active group of people. There is a switch within us that has been thrown and refuses to let us just watch events unfold in the political arena without throwing a red flag on the field when we see foul play. The moderating team is still going to pay attention and make sure that discussions about politics don't become divisive and poisonous to the cause of uniting gun owners. Let's make their job easy and not let it turn into that.

Glock 19. They've made plenty that are prettier and more fun. They've yet to make a better one.

+1 on the g19. I actually sold my g26 as after I got my 19, found myself rarely carrying the 26. The 19 is the best of all worlds out there at the moment IMO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well boys.....many of you got the consideration you were hoping for. Hopefully you will be considerate of your fellow TGO members and think before you reply.
