  1. Partial knee replacement is not for everyone. The knee is comprised of 3 compartments. If the medial or lateral compartment is the only one involved, then yes a partial may be helpful. But if more than one involved, then not the solution.
  2. Very few of us started shooting large caliber handguns initially. Most started with .410s or .22 rifles. We became accustomed to light recoil, the bang, and gained confidence and mover on to other calibers. That is the same situation with today's new shooters. A lifelong avoidance of firearms, tales of a gun knocking you on your butt. Videos of people being pranked by shooting larger guns, etc. IMO it is a must to start out with .22, either rifle or handguns. Become accustomed to things going bang and no discomfort. The .22 is an acceptable SD gun, especially for new shooters and even more so in experienced hands. Once the new shooter has decent skills and comfort they can move to different calibers if they so choose, not because some 'experienced' old hand said this is what you need and in doing so causes more fear and hampers the progress of a new shooter. All this said as the .38 revolver is a poor starter gun.
  3. Another point to chew on. EVERYONE needs a permit, including LEO. That is true everywhere in the U.S. Constitutional/permitless carry within 1000 feet of school premises is a federal crime punishable by up to 5 years and/or up to a $5K fine everywhere in the U.S. The exception relevant here is a permit issued by the state (or city or county) in which the school zone is located AND that requires LE to do a check on the licensee to verify that they are qualified to hold the permit. There's also an exception for being on private property within the GFSZ. Careful readers will note that just having a state/city/county issued permit isn't enough. 1. It has to be issued by the state/city/county where the school zone is. If you are carrying out of your home state with your home state permit via reciprocity, be aware that every time you drive within 1000 feet of a school you are committing a federal crime. 2. The permit must be one that requires LE to do a check for eligibility/qualification. If your state/city/county issues permits upon request with no background check required, you are committing a federal crime any time you drive within 1000 feet of a school while carrying.

  4. If I had to pick just one pistol...this would be it. Reliable and accurate.
  5. '06 4Runner...287,000 and going strong.
  6. secondary benefit of keeping one from rolling out of the bed.....
  7. Ask your Dr. about viagra or tadalifil. Studies show some benefits for staving off mental decline with daily use. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53136-y
  8. Shot one at RangeUSA in Knoxville. I wouldn’t get too excited about it. Reverse trigger safety. Depresses at top of trigger shoe.
  9. respectfully disagree with some of your generalizations. "most of us" maybe, but not the generally untrained, incompetent permit holders. I'll take my chances with LEO in comparison. You are responsible for your own safety and are your own 1st responder. If a business chooses to post their property, you have the choice not to go into that business. Take the USPS for example, no different than any other business except it is illegal to possess or carry on their property. Property owners rights must be respected, as is your choice. I do agree that the carry past signage should be a simple trespass at most.
  10. No. Federal law is the rule and no out-of-state handgun sales directly. Will have to do a transfer through a FFL. Carry permit has no bearing in this case
  11. The bad guy will pick the time and place and sometimes avoidance just doesn't work. The state ECP course is a good start. It is not a 'graduate' course. Pistol craft is a continuing process.....you don't know what you don't know. Will your 5 rounds be sufficient against 3 BGs? Start with your state permit and continue your education and skill building
  12. Just bought a Romeo X. Small footprint, the easiest controls of any I have used. Top load battery. dot, circle, or combo.
  13. Close shots, you may or may not use dot, but you have already made a big step in helping with that.....keeping both eyes open. Also helps in low light.
  14. My first check would be Briley's....they will also check regulating the POI

DAYTONA BEACH, FL 32114 MADE IN US Looks like they are not doing what they said….disappointing and good to know. To me that was an important selling point. Too many other decent guns in that price range. Glad they didn’t move to TN as planned several years ago.
  16. I have 2 SCCYs. One was ammo picky with HP. Called and they sent a shipping label, got it back in one week. No problems since. I would tell you to try calling them again.
  17. I have a similar Gen 1.0 5” pro apexed out like yours in 9mm. Good price with the 40 option as well.
  18. You may possess a loaded handgun in your vehicle in Illinois.
  19. i occassionally carry a canik subcompact with a Romeo O. Battery life is no where near as advertised. The take home lesson is I change that battery every 6 months. Have to remove and re-zero, yeah, a little hassel by not bad. My Havens and SRO I change yearly. Just have to know your equipment.
  20. Below is a class description from Cruel Hand Luke, aka Randy Harris. Randy frequently holds this class in Dayton, TN and Windrock shooting range. IMO if one is interested in documentation, than this is certainly a valid record ran by a well known firearms instructor under a controlled classroom environment. "We will be shooting some challenging warm up drills and then the Bakersfield PD Qual, Federal Air Marshal pistol qualification, FBI pistol qualification courses and a few others and finish up with a man vs man shoot off on steel and bowling pins! I will also keep records of these (if you are happy with your scores) for future reference and use . This will serve to get your shooting prowess on record by a third party in case it is ever needed in the future in some legal matter. This is also something your church might like to have for their records if you are a member of a church security team."
  21. use the right tool for the job comes to mind..
