I think I am almost done with polymer/plastic guns. I like plastic guns like my Glocks . They are like Craftsman automotive tools. They work and hardly ever fail , except maybe a 36 or 44 ,,,,, LOL . But seriously I have my plastic guns and they work great but I have gotten older or to where I like good ole steel. I got this 2 year old CZ 75 Compact 9mm ALL STEEL today and I am very pleased. Just gave her a bath of Ballistol. The way I feel about it is like Obi-Wan ,, " Not as clumsy or random as a blaster , An elegant weapon for a more civilized age."

Its been a while since I've posted anything, so I thought I would take a moment away from working on holsters and redesigning my website to post a couple pics of my latest "toy". I decided I wanted to build something a little different for target and hunting purposes so I chose a 6.5 Grendel. I basically wanted something that would be "compact" and that I could suppress later down the road and still have a "shorter" OAL. The scope that's on it is not going to stay, its just what I had laying around till I decide on an optic. Build list...

Approx $700 each. $240 per rifle to convert M4’s to M4A1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_carbine

After nearly two years of waiting my customer Cumberland Valley rifle is finished and I am loving it. My Gr gr gr grandfather settled in Mid TN around 1801 and in an area where some prolific rifle makers of that genre (ie. Thomas Simpson, Jacob Young, etc.) were in their heyday. I wanted a rifle that would be as close to "possibly" what he would have owned on the TN frontier of the first third of the 19th century. Posting a picture below but it is a .40 caliber flintlock with a 48 inch barrel. It has a 14.75" length of pull so it is a long rifle. Fits me pretty well, though as I am 6' 6". The stock is curly maple and really pops in the sunlight. I would have posted more photos but I hit my size max with the one below. thanks,

Well, after building the 1892 Winchester in 357, I guess I got horned into 357 and just had to finally spring for a nice wheel gun. My taste is in S&W but I want a nice handling range gun and the K frame is just right as not being too heavy. Besides I carried a M10 S&W as a duty gun for 18 years and became fond of my qualifying scores with that action. Problem is, I think S&W has been giving the shooting public the screws on their K frame magnums for a very long time. Frame cutting, and burned throats aside, That I can understand but I draw the line at poor barrel shank design. Iv seen a few K's with bore bulges just forward the barrel shank threads inside the frame mouth. Its ugly and should not happen. Reason being, they stop the barrel treads into a "root diameter" opening cut of the shank rather than stopping the threads into thread OD. Taurus correctly decided long ago that they would correct this deficiency and that is one main reason why I bought a 669 rather than a 66 S&W aside from the $$$ difference. The barrel cylinder gap on the Taurus is perfect at .004. It needs a trigger job and a forcing cone hone that I figured would be needed but all in all, this particular Taurus 357 is going to be a very sweet shooter. Its a bit beefier in the frame than a S&W 66 and the finish is exceptional for the 5 bones even OTD on a GB purchase. The Taurus shank

Hey all, just recently took my carry class on Jan 25th. On the 26th of Jan I visited the DMV and payed my money. On the 28th of Jan I went and did my fingerprints. On Feb 5th, I checked and I had 4 green check marks. Yesterday, after not receiving my carry permit in the mail yet, I got only and looked again, and my background check went from approved as of February 5th, to pending again. Any real reason behind this, or has anyone ever seen this happen before? I am a Firefighter/Paramedic and I have never had even a speeding ticket in my life. Attached is a picture of the current screen. Thanks in advance.

I made a similar decision after having major issues with a Smith performance center revolver and multiple issues with new Ruger revolvers. Picked this up, upgraded the grip and it’s been flawless with my loads.

No, this would actually name 2nd Amendment or Article 1 Section 26 Rights as Civil Rights, making the denial as such punishable under the Official Oppression portion of our TCA Code. It targets government not businesses or individuals. Dealing with carrying past signs is not on the agenda this year. We will have to change a lot more legislators to achieve that...

Please don’t post pictures of that.

I don't really have any good expansion media, just wet newspaper and phone books or catalogues. Another thing I don't like about Hornady swc are they have a narrow meplat. I wish the Buffalo Bore bullets were available. They'd probably cost about as much as loaded ammo though. Lol.

That story had me wincing in pain! Sounds about like my own luck, though. I am glad to say that I am probably 95% or better on my knee now. The first week was terrible and consisted of keeping it elevated almost around the clock. The second week it got a little better with a visit to TOA in Nashville for x-rays, an enormous Cortisone shot into the knee, and a really nice $150 Breg-brand knee brace. The last half-week has been more like normal with quite a bit more mobility, infinitely less pain, and lessening stiffness. I think within another two weeks I will be back to normal and able to start strengthening exercises again. Thanks to all who expressed concern! My daughter is doing very well but we are now facing sleep apnea problems with her due to the cleft in her soft pallet. As we are learning, this is a common problem for children as young as her with a hole in the pallet, and it tends to go away as they grow older and absolutely goes away once the surgery is done to close the hole. Of course, the problem in the meantime is making sure that the apnea spells aren't fatal. We're not getting a whole lot of sleep, but we have a retail-grade blood oximeter to alert us for now, and a medical grade one coming. Unfortunately surgery just won't be an option for her until at least the end of November, so it's still going to be a long year.

That's my thing too. Live 2 hours away. Does he have any ads, that tell about his work? That should help.

I'd say it probably does I could be completely wrong but I believe the cost of a base m4 to the military is under $600...maybe less....that gun is pretty bare bones basic except for that part and the shorter barrel...but its a SHTF gun that will probably sit in that chair for the next 10-15 years.

I saw that earlier this morning. Looks cool and would make an awesome truck gun, lol. Speaking of which, I wish I could come up with an affordable, unobtrusive method of securing a small ar in my SUV, without making it uber obvious or uber expensive, lol. Ive got a small lockbox, secured by a steel cable that i use in emergencies for my pistol, but it wont really fit anywhere up front, at least accessibly, so its secured in the back storage area.

I can shot in my back yard, shoots great.

As a former Police Officer, I get mad every time I see this topic come up. You can’t make a person a criminal because they are a victim of a burglary. Metro PD needs to get off their lazy azz and go do the job they get paid to do. The Chief of Police where I was would have laughed at this and the told those planning it “You can’t be serious”. I keep a handgun in my car and am planning on having a rifle. My vehicle is always locked; even when parked inside, in my garage. If a gun is stolen from my vehicle in a burglary and then discovered on a criminal that has just committed a crime, what do you think the criminal is going to say when asked if the vehicle was locked? Then a DA can make a name for himself by going after the terrible citizen that left his car “unlocked” with a gun in it. This is BS. Rant off.

I had a CZ P10 right after they came out. Mine was unsatisfactory. The mag release and slide release were both very stiff, and even after several hundred rounds, they didn't look to be getting any better. The trigger safety was actually difficult to work with, like it would take more pressure to "pop" loose than I thought it should, and the pressure had to be straight back. Accuracy was not bad but due to the smallish grip and narrow trigger guard, I had to cramp up on the grip and it tended to push my shots to the left. The aluminum sights were just another slap in the face. I'd like to shoot a P10F, I think that would be a better model for me.

New here? Step up and tell us about yourself. A good format to follow would be your first name (if you care to share it), where you're from, what your interests are, what gun(s) you have, where you like to shoot, etc. It helps break the ice and you might just find new friends as a result.

Yes, if you have a range on your property you are more than welcome to post here. I'm jealous of those that do. I keep telling my wife, the next time I move, if we do, we are moving to somewhere that I can walk outside in my underwear and crocs, with a cup of coffee, and shoot. I may even post pictures of that.

Told you to chain it down

Maybe I can remember the right order of the letters now.
