  1. In 1945 the flag was raised on Iwo Jima. On Iwo Jima, site of a strategic air base located between the Mariana Islands and Japan, the Japanese carved out a network of underground fortifications aimed at turning the small volcanic island into a death trap for invading US Marines. When US Marine divisions invaded on February 19, 1945, planners expected a brief campaign. But for more than five weeks, Japanese forces mounted a fierce defense. The Japanese had to be rooted out of caves and other strongholds in merciless close-quarter assaults. The bloodbath horrified Allied military planners and American citizens, who feared a far greater slaughter during an invasion of Japan’s home islands. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, the Japanese commander on Iwo Jima, recognized that he could not defeat an American landing. Instead, he planned a long and costly defensive battle to shake American resolve to continue the war and invade the Japanese mainland. The general placed weapons to rain deadly fire on the beaches, but concentrated his forces in the northern part of the island within underground bunkers and gun positions linked by miles of tunnels. This deadly isolationist web of defenses exacted a terrible toll. US Marines immortalized the bloodiest battles on Iwo Jima with names depicting the brutal combat. The battles included “The Meat Grinder,” where nearly 850 Marines died capturing a Japanese stronghold, and “Bloody Gorge,” where Japanese defenders made their final stand. The US landing forces suffered 6,821 killed and 19,217 wounded. Although most in the 20,000-strong Japanese garrison were draftees, they refused to surrender, fighting tenaciously until only a few hundred remained alive to be taken prisoner.

  9. 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... ODIN Works 12" barrel ODIN Works BCG ODIN Works Adjustable gasblock ODIN Works XMR 3 Extended Mag Release ODIN Works Ambidextrous Modular Safety GIBBZ ARMS billet SIDE CHARGING UPPER RECEIVER RISE ARMAMENT RA535 trigger PSA Lower parts kit SBA3 pistol brace Magpul MOE Grip I haven't gotten out to the range yet but hopefully I will have time to do so soon.

  10. 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.

  12. 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...

  13. Believe me Dave, I agree with you 100% when it comes to metro not doing anywhere near enough to curb the gun thefts in Metro considering the 700 plus guns are just in Nashville area according to the news. They know they have a problem and have done nothing to address the issue. They know what areas are targeted the most so place some unmarked cars with officers in those areas and catch these kids checking vehicles doors to see if they are unlocked would be a good start. If you catch them before they can steal a gun good but if you catch them with a gun then put them in jail till Momma can come and bail them out which happens all to often also. If my son was caught doing that he would sit it out in jail till court day. They have made a decision that two of the kids that killed that singer will be tried in adult court. I think all of them involved should be tried in Adult court. They need to quit treating these kids with a slap on the wrist for committing adult crimes. They say that the kids are not really aware of what they are doing is wrong. That is a crock!! They know right from wrong long before they reach teenagers and many of them have been caught several times so they know its wrong but the slap on the wrist doesn't teach them anything except if that is all I'm going to get I will do it again......JMHO
