Hey Guys. New member in the nashville area. Didn't realize this form existed, stumbled across it when figuring out where to list my cetme but if it's fun here then I'll probably be here to stay! I am retired but work the occasional odd job. Mostly spend my days taking care of my young twins, running, rock climbing, and shooting. I Collect mostly HK firearms but have a little bit of any and everything from ww2 to modern. Here's some pics of my favorite little dudes.

An absolute travesty when someone who signs up to serve their country is let down by the equipment issued. Non-combat deaths are just as gutwrenching as the ones downrange. This Airman and his family deserved better. Any organization still using this pistol needs to wake up, fast.

Ahhhhh....... the old "one-last-minor-adjustment-before-the-long-journey-what-could-possibly-go-wrong?" scenario. So, now I have to rebuild the transmission. More of an inconvenience than anything, but I made a further rod for my own back by making one of those 'while you're in there, why not?' decisions. I'm upgrading the shifter drum & pawl, plus the centering pin & selector forks to the much improved versions from a 2005 Twin Cam. The original 5 speed is bulletproof, but it is known for having a couple of issues: the pawl can go out of adjustment very easily making neutral a pain to find, you also get false neutrals, especially between 2nd & 3rd & 1st & 5th also have bad overshift. The Twinkie parts literally cure all of that & make shifting much, much slicker & more positive with less pedal travel & no chance of going out of adjustment. I picked up everything I need for just over $200 on ebay. Now I must need everything to get here & I can buckle it all back up again.

I'm a proud hunter based here in Tennessee and excited to be part of the TNGunOwners community. I've always had a passion for firearms, whether it's sport shooting, self-defense, or just staying informed on the latest gear and laws. I'm here to learn, share, and connect with like-minded folks who value the Second Amendment and responsible ownership. Looking forward to some great discussions, helpful advice, and maybe even meeting a few of you at local events or range days.

it happened out of battery, the round was not even loaded yet, it got stuck when trying to push the round in with the bolt

Welcome! Loving the setup!

https://ky-leadernews.com/brayden-tyriq-lovan/ The obituary of the deceased. Since this is where the discussion of the topic has been, I figured this would be the place to put a face to it all. godspeed.

That's a sweet deal. Have one it's a great little carbine.

A local radio show was saying he and wife just got saved and baptized 18 months ago which Hulk spoke about on radio. So glad he did

Honestly, I think Sig should have to do a buyback on all 320s.

Man, loved my FNS9. But when I started reading that it was having issues, I moved it for a Glock 45 Gen 5 and never looked back.

While at first blush I was tempted to place this into the Ammunition and Reloading forum, it seems to me that this is in actuality the better place for it. Often the subject of "stopping power" in a handgun comes up on other forums and in physical conversations. To be blunt, the notion of "stopping power" from a service / self-defense handgun cartridge as it is envisioned by the general public is non-existent and therefore should not be the primary factor when choosing a handgun for self-defense. It is my opinion and that of many others who know far more about the subjects than I do that you should chiefly choose a carry handgun based on how well you shoot it, how likely you are to carry it due to comfort / size / weight of the firearm, and how reliable the firearm will be. Without passing grades in these three areas, a handgun is in my opinion completely unsuitable for carry. You will see from the chart below that when comparing well-designed defensive ammunition, there are minimal differences in penetration depths and in temporary cavity effects. This photo was provided by Doug Carr. As you increase the diameter and mass of the bullet from 9mm / 357SIG, to .40SW, to .45ACP, more tissue will be crushed resulting in a larger permanent cavity. Also it should be noted that the larger bullets typical offer improved performance through "intermediate" barriers (clothing, vehicle and building construction, etc.). However it should also be noted that for some people, the benefits of the larger calibers is offset by the fact that a larger caliber typically begets a larger weapon frame which begets decreased ergonomics for the shooter depending on their physique. The photo provided above makes it obvious that NONE of the common service pistol calibers generate temporary wound cavities of sufficient size that it would cause significant permanent tissue damage. Refer to “Handgun Wounding Factors and Effectiveness” produced by the FBI FTU, as this remains the single best discussion of the wound ballistic requirements of handguns used for self-defense -- it is available at: http://www.amazon.co...94498334&sr=8-1 So too is the notion of "expansion" or recovered diameter used to support the preference for larger caliber handguns. As seen in the photo above, the bullets recovered from ballistic gelatin show that modern defensive cartridges in the different calibers exhibit similar expansion diameters. Keeping in mind that it is not the size of the hole going in that is as important as the depth of penetration and the amount of bleeding caused within that affects the effectiveness of the bullet, one can see that choosing a handgun solely on the basis of caliber ignores far more important factors. Primarily, you should choose the handgun for carry that: You are most likely to carry rather than leave at home You shoot the most accurately Offers the best reliability Summary: Caliber used as the basis for choosing a defensive handgun is, within reason, bull$#!%. All modern service calibers provided comparable performance and all of them offer generally poor incapacitation ability when compared to rifle calibers. Therefore, choose the gun that you shoot best, that you're most likely to have with you at all times, and that won't fail to operate when you need it the most.
