  1. Anyone collect Case knives and display them? If so, curious how you collect and display. My son has a bit of a collection started and recently ran out of space in the Case display we got him. Myself and his grand parents get him a Case knife each birthday/holiday/etc.. with the hope he ends up with a nice collection by the time he’s an adult. Was planning to get a second display case similar to below as his collection continues to grow but thought there might be other unique ways to collect and display I hadn’t thought about.
  2. Anyone have a recommendation for a decent and relatively inexpensive light to attach to rifle? Planning to attach to a 9mm sub2k and at least think I would like a pressure switch. Prefer not to have a rechargeable battery.
  3. Looks like a fun setup in the video for a reasonable price. Wish I could see it in person though
  4. The finish is really my only complaint with the Kel-Tec. Mine has some wear on the bluing of the slide (see pic). Several times in the past I have tried to order a parkerized replacement slide from Kel-Tec, but if I remember correctly it has been out of stock each time. Do you notice the size difference without the +1 mag and carrying in your pocket?
  5. I pocket carry a kel tec p3at on occasion. That Ruger looks to be much nicer. May have to consider upgrading at some point if the size difference is negligible
  6. Doesn't seem to be much love for the Nano. I have one and like it. I don't have issue with the recoil being snappy. I think the slide is heavy enough that it mitigates felt recoil fairly well. The only gripe I would have is the trigger. The Nano's trigger pull is smooth, but it feels LONG to me. I also miss the shorter trigger reset that you get on say a Glock over the longer trigger reset on the Nano. I think the Nano is a good gun. I bought it before the Glock 42 and 43 were introduced. I have replaced my use of the Nano with a Glock 43, but still like to bring out the Nano and shoot it every once and a while.
  7. Looks nice. My LCR has the crimson trace laser. Do you think it would fit with the laser grip? Do you use a calf strap with it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
  8. Looking to get an ankle holster for a Ruger LCR. Anyone have any experience with ankle carry or recommendations on a specific holster?
  9. I have an IRA at Charles Schwab and have had no issues. Online interface and iPhone app work great for trades or research. Their website offers online advising which is easy to understand and implement. I've also talked with their "financial consultants" a handful of times and gotten the help I need.

  10. Carry gun. Went ahead with the 43, but after reading all of the replies maybe I should have gone with the 19. Gun is going to be a gift and I know they only like to carry small firearms. Person has a few compact (Glock 19-esque size) and full size firearms, but just doesn't carry them due to size. Any thoughts on a suitable inside the waistband holster? I carry in a cross bread mini-tuck, but do not think they care for the large strip of leather. Anyone have experience with vedder holsters? Was looking at the light tuck kydex IWB. Thanks for all of the input!
  11. If you had to pick between a Glock 19 and Glock 43 for your first Glock, which would you choose and why?

  13. I've spent probably 9 hours of my life on hold with American home shield (all sitting in traffic on an hour long commute). They had to send 2 companies out for a plumbing issue and one for an A\C unit. They do not make anything easy for the customer. It's a complete racket. They sell their "warranty" product with no intention of actually providing any semblance of respectable customer service. When they do send a company to fix the problem, they will only authorize the bare minimum "repair" to whatever equipment is malfunctioning. "His and Hers" also responded to my plumbing issue, collected their $75 trade service call fee, then never showed back up to fix the problem. Every company they recommended for my area had the worst reviews online. Having said that, if you have the time to wait on near endless holds to fight with them, it may be worth it. On my A\C unit, I chose a cash in lieu of repair and got 600 bucks. Used that cash towards a replacement instead of having them repair the 15 year old unit that parts were not available for. They are a COMPLETE pain in the butt to deal with, but I have to say that the costs of repairs that were covered far exceeded the price I payed for the warranty. Sent from my K88 using Tapatalk
  14. Joeys House of Pizza is my favorite. Problem is I can never get there during their business hours

    SNOW!!

    Snow still lightly falling just south of Nashville, but looks like it may stop. I think the weather forecast has it stopping tonight too. Hopefully it won't get any worse.

    SNOW!!

    Went to work in Nashville at 630 this morning and snow was already falling, but not any accumulation. Walked out of the hospital at 430 and maybe 6 or 7 inches of snow on the ground. Made for an interesting drive home. The only trouble I had was getting stuck in the apartment parking lot as soon as I pulled in. Apparently a tree had blocked the entrance all day so it was ice with several inches of snow on top. Luckily a couple of guys helped push me out. Had to put car mats under the rear tires to get any traction to get going. Luckily the guy helping used his mats that he had used earlier in the day so I didn't ruin mine. Glad he was willing to help. 
  17. Smart idea. I have an excel sheet with serial numbers, date bought, and any other relevant info (traded, etc...). I have a group picture and individual pictures of my firearms. Don't know that that would make a difference but couldn't hurt. Would love to see a pic of the group!
  18. Good choice. Can't go wrong with a 19
