  1. Does anyone else think a tenifer coating would be an awesome looking finish on a car?
  2. Wow, it looks amazing. About how much did it run to treat your XD9?
  3. Let us know how the Apex parts work out for you!
  4. I honestly can't recommend anyone in Middle Tennessee. :/
  5. That's kind of what I was thinking. The bigger issue is definitely whether or not the incident is handled properly as opposed to equipment used. I do like the idea of replacing parts instead of modifying the factory parts. This way it will be a commercial part as opposed to my own or a gunsmiths concoction. Personally, I don't necessarily want a lighter or shorter trigger pull - I just want the entire travel to be as smooth as possible. I do realize the importance of trigger reset for trigger control but I don't understand what the replacement part does to "improve" this and if it would be an improvement for me. I guess I need to do some research.
  6. Love it! How much is the holster and does it work for other model lights? Or is it universal?
  7. I've been thinking about getting some APEX parts for my M&P trigger but I'm not sure what to get or if I should get anything at all with regard to legal concern of using a modified hair trigger on a carry gun.
  8. I was getting ready to type a book myself but you beat me to it. Nice job. I'm surprised everyone is taking up for #1 Rossi and #2 a revolver, lol
  9. I keep coming back to this thread for pictures, lol
  10. LMAO and... LMAO!
  11. I don't understand what you're trying to say. I'll get my fingers on an exercise and diet regimen right away. I'm sorry, I am not a hand model and I do not get manicures, I work with my hands!
  12. As it stands, I do prefer the M&P all day long. It is an excellent firearm. I just hate beat it up - I carry while I work. If I could ever find a really cheap used G17, I would probably go through with it and "make it mine" as some have said in this thread. Until then, I couldn't possibly bring myself to do something like that. Like I said, the M&P is perfect for me it's just painful turning such a nice looking gun into a carry gun. I have had a G19 and a G23, both being compacts. I have held and fired many full size Glocks and have had the same problem. I've never bothered with subcompacts and do not intend to. I am going to stick with the M&P, I've already been carrying it for while. Like I've said before, it's unfortunate to put wear on a nice looking gun when I would have loved to have a Glock I wouldn't mind carrying = trashing. I was certainly unaware that my fingers are that much larger than the average persons to be considered 1 in a 1000. That I do not believe and that being said I am surprised at the success of the Glock as a duty issued pistol with its limited hand size compatibility.
  13. This is just something I really can't get over. What is the deal with Glock and their finger grooves? Does Glock think that everyone has the same size fingers? The back straps are a nice feature but why do you HAVE to have girl fingers to shoot a Glock? First, let me give a little background. I love the concept of a simple, reliable, and highly reputable pistol that I could beat the tar out of and not feel so bad about it (Glock being one of the few pistols out there that actually looks really good worn in). My first personal pistol was a Gen 4 G19. Speaking with others, I KNOW that I am not the only person who has this problem with Glock finger grooves. My dang fingers are too fat! When I hold the grip of any Glock, from my middle finger to my pinky ALWAYS ends up sitting on top of the finger groove ridges. In case you can't guess, this makes it extremely painful to shoot. Why is it so important that they include this? Is it just me or is this just a straight up terrible idea? I have to be missing something I feel so terribly sorry for all the policemen in the world who are issued this weapon and have to cope with having large fingers. They don't have any choice in the manner. Right now I carry a full size S&W M&P - take note, no finger grooves. So far I haven't had a single malfunction of any sort and I am very pleased with it. I think everyone would agree that Smith and Wesson has historically had a very good reputation for quality firearms. However, their M&P series is still very new and quite unproven when compared to the Glock series of handguns. I'm sure everyone is entitled to some doubt after their SIGMA series. So far though the M&P has been highly satisfactory and in my opinion, the most ergonomic pistol I have ever held. I know the title says Glock Rant, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wish I COULD shoot a Glock. I just know that it could be just as good if not better than an M&P if there was one that worked for me. The problem is ... I guess you could say.. that the M&P is a lot more.. complexly "styled" than a Glock. I've been carrying the M&P for a good while now and it's starting to show its normal holster wear. In my opinion, a Glock only looks good eaten away with use. I'm afraid of what the M&P is going to look like as a carry gun. I wish those finger grooves worked for me, it hurts my feelings. I guess you could look at it like this: chevy farm truck or cadillac escalade farm truck? the latter might look a little retarded
  14. You might be able to convert it to 9mm in the classifieds, lol Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2
  15. I've actually posted about this before. Thought it would be a good idea to have organize TGO tables at local gun shows throughout TN to advertise and get new paying benefactors/members. Never heard a word back about it. It was so long ago I nearly completely forgot.
  16. I thought the semi-automatic bolt action rifle was pretty cool!
  17. Yeah, you should try both... At the same time! That is if you want to be really tacticool! Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2
  18. At least he was allowed to close his eyes. Anyway, a lot of people are hardly even affected by OC spray. Its really not bad. It just sucked, thats all. I functioned just fine, it was just difficult to see. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2

    beer snobs

    I was just starting to get into it but now at the age of 22 I don't drink at all. Dont know why, I used to really crave one on a hot day after work. I just dont really care to anymore. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2
  20. Sorry to hear, David. You have my sincerest condolences and I'll be praying for strength for you and your family in these tough times. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2
  21. Yeah, pepper spray sucks but personally I would rather die than get tazed again. You dont know how long five seconds is until youve got two barbs stuck in your back. Ive got video of me doing the chewbacca. Effective? Yes. Sent from my HTC Inspire using Tapatalk 2
  22. Remember that anything that sharp will dull quickly. Looking forward to the tests!
  23. I like that, haha
  24. LMFAO
  25. My girlfriend forced me to watch it. It hurt my soul seeing flintlocks and middle ages style armor. It's all pretty cheesy but I have a feeling that it will get better as with all shows.
