  1. Cut the man some slack @Capbyrd. Have you spent as much time and effort on a cause that might have actually helped advance gun rights?

  4. Actually I did, had a friend that worked that bill, a biker that walked with a cane and he also was there every year on the helmet bill. You meet a lot of good people advocating for issues and you help those who are passionate and doing it on their own dime. I got legislators to sign on to his bills. I think his name was Tony, have not seen him the last couple of years. The GA treated him the same way they do me. I do not ask for your money for me, I don't take dime for my efforts, TFA is not the NRA, no salaries for Directors or Board members. You have a permit because of volunteers that worked to get it done. You have Civil Immunity because someone kept hammering till we got it done. I don't care if you hate me, I am not laboring for profit or accolades. Most Liberals hate me too...

  7. I had to go to Murfreesboro yesterday, about 110 miles each way, so I rode my BMW and took Hwy 70. The area around Center Hill Lake is a hoot, and I had no traffic in front of me.

  8. Before we moved to TN we lived in the county on a road that T on both ends and was 2 miles long. On my end of the road within a 1/2 mile stretch we had a guy that built formula race cars, another built drag cars and a third fellow with a large dyno in his garage for tuning racing engines. The formula race guy was pretty quiet but interesting to talk too and see his projects, but the drag racer was usually out testing his latest tunes on his drag car a few days be for the next time he was going to the track. The guy with the dyno would run engines he was tuning into a muffler off a semi that was pointed down his drive which wasn't pointing directly towards our house but close enough. First time I met the neighbor with the dyno I heard the roar and walked over to see what was going on. They got all nervous that I came to complain and I assured them I was just nosey and introduce myself as the guy across the road in the woods. They said ah the guy with the shooting range and we got along fine after that. Was an interesting road to live on. Another neighbor was pretty good at guessing what caliber I was shooting when I would run into him soon after I had been shooting. He was a retired Marine in his 70s. I could never get the Marine to come over and shoot but he liked going to gun shows with me just to look at the M1s and talk with the guys selling them. He could still rattler of the serial number of the M1 he carried.

  10. I'll do a review of this one soon. It arrived yesterday at @sigbrown1297's FFL and I was able to pick it up late in the afternoon. (Many thanks, Jonathan!) I installed the Holosun 407K green-dot optic on it last night and then swapped on the Wilson Combat grip module today. If all goes well, I may get to dial-in the dot and do a little shooting with it Friday or Saturday. Right now all I can offer is that I love the size, weight and the way it feels in hand and on the belt. I wore it around the house today in a new PHLSTER Pro holster and couldn't even tell it was there. I am pretty sure this will be my go-to companion for summertime use and when on duty at church. 12+1 rounds in a slim and small form factor with an optic? Winning! Pretty much stock, with the Holosun 407K optic installed. With the Wilson Combat XL grip module installed. PHLSTER Pro P365XL holster with DCC Monoblock clip.

  14. Range Report: First Outing I was able to make it to the range today after work and get in a few shots. My initial impressions of the gun are very favorable, especially for my intended purpose of having something smaller and lighter weight than my Glock 19 or Sig P320 XCompact for more discrete carry. I do want and need more range-time with it, though. Feel and Handling I ran the gun with the Wilson Combat grip module installed. Since returning home, I have put the factory laser-stippled Sig Sauer grip module back on it. While the Wilson grip feels like it fills the hand more, I feel like I get a better actual grip with the Sig module. Go figure. Running 124gr 9mm FMJ Fiocchi ammo, the gun is plenty snappy. Compensators are not muzzle brakes. They do little or nothing to mitigate the recoil of the gun. They do combat muzzle climb, but that doesn't translate to feel. It translates to a gun that "shoots flatter" which means you reacquire your sight picture on target faster. People need to understand this and keep it in mind when they shoot compensated handguns. It doesn't change what most people describe as "FEEL". This is still a smaller gun and you are still going to feel it pressing into the bony heel of your dominant hand when you shoot it. It is not as comfortable as shooting a larger gun with a larger grip that spreads the shock across a larger surface area in your hand. Period. That said, I did not find it to be uncomfortable to shoot and I put about 100 rounds through it within a pretty short period of time. Handling of the gun was certainly better than that of my plain Jane P365. Muzzle flip was controllable which made the optic's dot easy to track between shots and quicker to return to target. I found this to be even more striking as I ran the gun faster and faster. It shot flat enough that running it fast wasn't a problem at all. Overall Function I ran 100rds through it within a 30-minute span of time. I did not clean or lube it ahead of my range session. It was only lubed with whatever Sig put on it at the factory. I had ZERO malfunctions. It fed, fired and ejected flawlessly. Spent brass landed reliably within the same general area, so I am confident that it wasn't throwing brass willy-nilly all over the place. Accuracy was excellent. I did have to adjust the way I grasped the gun, however. The grouping for my first few magazines was pretty ugly. It dawned on me that I had some slop in how my support hand was grasping the grip, so I tweaked that a little and got excellent accuracy as a result. To be honest... this showed me that I probably have been incorporating the same amount of slop in my grip on my P320 and could likely make it run better by indexing my support hand the same way. I plan to give it a try. Hell, I am almost 30-years into my study of the handgun and I love that I can still learn to do things better. Anyway... when I did my part, the gun did its. 1-inch groups at 7-yards are pretty easy. This is what I expect from a Sig. It did not disappoint. Target Porn I probably need a better term for this, but here are some targets worth looking at and talking about. These targets are printed on 8.5 x 11 copier paper. The circles are 5-inches in diameter with a 1-inch dark center. The last target is from Sage Dynamics and is basically a central nervous system (CNS) brain and brain stem target. Each target was shot from a distance of 7-yards with 124gr Fiocchi 9mm FMJ. I feel good enough about these to carry the gun. Target #1: This target was the first one after getting the dot dialed in. This is a 6-round group shot at a slow and deliberate pace to confirm zero of the optic. Target #2: Moving right along, I shot the target on the other half of the paper with 10-rounds at a reasonably brisk pace to "learn the bounce" of the dot in the optic as it tracked between shots. I did not take a shot timer but I'd say that this grouping took between 4-6 seconds, just guessing at the pace. Target #3: After a few more targets like the previous one, shot at a brisk pace and getting to know how the gun tracked, I wrapped up the session with something a little faster. This is 24-rounds, total. Two 12-round mags, with a mag change in between them, at a fast pace. The strings of shots were quick. The mag change was NOT graceful. I need to spend more time in my dry-fire sessions with this gun just changing mags. The short grip and short mags require some gymnastics to reposition my dominant hand just right to allow the empty mag to cleanly drop free. I'd guess that this took about 16-17 seconds just by timing myself here in the house with an empty gun. I feel like I should want that to be faster. Conclusion Very nice gun. Small. Light. Slim. Carries easily. Love the 6MOA Holosun green dot. It tracks easily. The comp is noticeable but won't blow your socks off. I need to work on my mag changes. Small grip, small mags, Shrek fingers. Not fast. It's a keeper. I'll be carrying it often.

  20. started with the M&P shield and haven't found anything else that I like better. Round count over 10 does not interest me at all. Just added weight. Shoots well, easy on and off with Desantis Peagusus holster. Goes at 4-5 carry or appendix with ease. Lot of nice, small quality guns, but nothing I see as 'better' for me.

  23. I agree, but most professions do not have the ability to severly change other peoples lives. Now that everyone has cameras on them the videos of cops lying or demanding others to do as they say regardless seem to show up more and more. They either do not know the law or lie hoping others do not know their rights or laws. Years ago a friend of mine were sitting in a park doing nothing illegal. Cops pulled up and wanted id's from us both. We did not know any better so we gave it to them after me shooting holes in there reasons for even approaching us. The cop brought our id's back and threw them in the window. Not the end of the world but far less than professional. There are tons of videos of cops demanding id without cause. I think cops should not be allowed to lie to the public they are supposed to serve. You and I lie to a cop they take it personnal they lie to you and me no big deal.

  24. Anyone that intones that Tennessee has a Conservative Legislature willing to address 2nd Amendment issues is seriously demented, willfully ignorant or bough and paid for. The three real issues of the session were removing the criminal aspect of carrying a firearm, HB 2524, adding long guns into the enhanced Permit , HB 1898 and moving the permit age to 18, HB 1735. The Senate Judiciary committee killed two (HB 2524 and HB 1735) and House Civil Justice did in HB 1898. A Republican Supermajority, Right...with friends like these, God forbid we get any enemies. There was a deal struck with Representative Todd to not run his 1735 on the floor Monday night, where he had the votes to pass it. The Caucus asked him to move it to Thursday (after the candidate filing deadline so that some members would not be on the record voting for a 2nd Amendment bill and risk have papers pulled in more Liberal districts.) He agreed on the stipulation that HB 2524 get to the floor in both chambers, the Senate reneged after he kept up his end of the bargain. Watching the Senate Judiciary proves that Gardenhire, Lundburg, Steven and Bell are simply hacks for the Governor. (Remember Bell is the one who took knives our of the list of deadly weapons in 2014, you can carry them now under his Senate Bill 1771).

  26. I've carried a variety on the tractor over the years. When bushogging it's common to see field mice and a lot of times rats run away and have thought it would be fun to shoot at them. Considered a Judge, but decided I'd need to be pretty fast and with a big tractor to contend with I'd probably not be much good at hitting them anyway. I also often have coyotes come follow behind the tractor, and they can get pretty close. They don't seem to notice me driving it. I've sort of settled on a Keltec PMR30 and have a surplus holster that fits it pretty good mounted right under the steering wheel. Shot one yote a couple of years ago with it while bushogging.

  30. Sir, I have an over/under Savage 24H-DL 22Mag/20 Gauge I would be willing to give your son if he is interested. It is in excellent mechanical shape but has some wear marks, missing bluing, lite receiver pitting etc. (I just shot it today to verify functionality). It has great calibers for small game and bigger varmints. The 20 gauge takes 3 inch shells and there was a scope mount drilled and tapped on the barrel, (have scope mount). The gun is a 1970ish model and I would be proud to pass ownership to your son as a new hunter. I will also include a gun case and ammo. My only requirement is that you and your son test fire and take possession of the gun at my ranch. I will PM you with my # and can send pics.

  31. Both the news and those law enforcement agencies, who have taken an oath to defend your rights under the constitution, are MISREPRESENTING or LYING about what this bill does. There is a law already on the books in Tennessee TCA 39-17-1350, which is the subject of this bill, that addresses one issue and that is the capacity of OFF DUTY law enforcement officers to carry in certain gun free zones. Keep in mind, Tennessee's supreme court has said that OFF DUTY law enforcement are not some category of super citizen, they are simply citizens like everyone else They have the right to defend their lives and they have arrest powers (if they opt to use them) BUT citizens also have statutory arrest powers in Tennessee! So, this bill says that those civilians who have the ENHANCED PERMIT would be entitled to the same exceptions relative to gun free zones as are OFF DUTY officers. The bill DOES NOT make citizens law enforcement officers, off duty officers or government officials. All it does is provide that if an off duty officer OFF DUTY can carry in a gun free zone then so can an enhanced permit holder. This is just another example of the elitism of these law enforcement administrators - a mentality that says government officials and government agents are BETTER than other citizens even when they are off duty or in some instances retired. This is a bill that requires a big push from the almost 750,000 permit holders in the state! Also, if you have ever donated money to a sheriff, to the sheriff's association or the chiefs of police association or even the FOP --- STOP IT!!!! They don't support your constitutional rights even after taking an oath to do so. And, as legislators stated on the record last year in committee hearings - they have at least a 28 year history of fighting to keep you from exercising your 2nd Amendment rights in Tennessee.
