I second this. It's worth a trip.

Nice group, I would hate to get thwacked by one of those! Ive run some 170grn Sako subs in the past and they were horrible, we were not comfortable using them past 75m at light bulb sized targets. We got ahold of some 200grn Lapua and they were significantly better, usually acceptable to 150m with a 5-6mph full value. I think you guys are on to something with the super heavys. What kind of energy do you think you are getting off that at 100yrds?

My thoughts exactly!

If for concealed carry then I would suggest the 19. If not for concealed I would go with the 17 for many of the reasons mentioned above. If for competition I would go straight to a 34. If I was to do it all again I would have a 19 for daily carry and a 34 for everything else. Instead I went the route of tricking out my 17. If I could only choose one it would be a 19.

Was wondering if anyone here has any first hand experience with the S&W Governor? I have a Rossi Circuit Judge that is essentially a carbine version of a Taurus Judge and I really like it's cartridge versatility. I've been meaning to add a double action revolver (handgun) to the stable and I like that the Governor eats calibers I already stock. That being said, sometimes things created to fit multiple rolls don't always fit any of them well......So I'd appreciate any relevant feedback anyone has.

Wow.......that's a great looking knife. Thanks for letting us look and drool. Truly a functional piece of art.

On the Ranger station broadcast "net call, net call......another tourist has afforded us the opportunity for tender Bison burgers tonight, they taste great so don't be late! Tight green shorts are optional"

As others have stated more eloquently than I, thank you for your hard work and dedication keeping this thing going. Good day or bad I always enjoy hopping on TGO at the end of it. I know in the past I've taken for granted the amount of effort required to keep this behemoth we all love afloat. In the future I will try to envision you chained to a computer somewhere feverishly writing code and I'll appreciate it all the more. I am really digging the new format as well.

They are great for storage or converting for living. many of our guys oversees live in conex's that have been converted to "man cans". they are super easy to fix and or customize with basic welding skills. I've put two side by side before by cutting the center walls out, put up some center supports, and seam welded all the way around. Finished it out in wood and wired it for lights, outlets, and a Chigo AC unit. Made a nice sized room. The trick would be getting them delivered to some of the middle of nowhere locations guys would want them. As long as you get it on some decent footing it should handle the weight of any tractor you can fit in it. If using for remote storage (not near you and not monitored) be sure to get one with with a lock assembly protected by a box/cage. It will still only take someone a minute or two with an angle grinder but will be difficult to access with bolt cutters or the like.

Welcome

Be careful with that mentality. If your workplace is anything like mine you will be labeled "hard to work with" for expecting others to do/know their jobs. I'm not saying you are wrong, I feel the same way, just expect that if you voice your honest opinion when asked you'll not make any friends. I think the self employed realm will be my path as well.

Looks badass, definitely doesn't take away from the look of the Damascus.

Welcome

Recover quickly. In the mean time I'm sure the rest of us will benefit from the extra time you will be spending on TGO.

Dang! That's a good one. I think some Motrin 800 and water will fix you right up.

Welcome

That's more than what I can glean from it, as it's about as clear as mud. How is the common/reasonable man to follow the law when he can't even interpret what it says without a fricken law degree.

That's pretty cool!

I usually alternate between a G17 or LCP based on what I'm doing for the day and and wearing. I'm not a huge fan of external safeties on my EDC gun. I will own a 1911 again someday but it will not be a regular carry based on it's size and conceal ability with how I normally dress, additionally I have shot enough with Glocks now that when I aim with a 1911 I have to quickly adjust for the difference in grip angle. Not the end of the world but I am faster/smoother with my Glock's.

Welcome

I would keep it. Specifically for the sentimental value and the fact that you can shoot it with your Grandkids some day and marvel at the fact that it is as old as you but still functions like its 1988!

While I don't have those particular scopes you asked about I do own other Vortex and Primary Arms products and I can say that I personally like the Vortex quality better in every way. Their warranty and customer service is also reported to be excellent.

Badass fish! Thanks for sharing.

Mine runs great, no issues at all through a variety of target and defense loads (mainly 115Grn Winchester White Box and Federal 147Grn Hydra-Shoks). I've never owned, nor shot enough out of a G17 Gen 2 or 3 to tell enough of a difference between the three in regard to the recoil spring, but I sure like the OEM grip options with my Gen 4. I'm a lefty, and the Gen 4 can be switched for left hand mag release (with applicable mags) but I haven't switched it as I am so used to right hand mag release at this point and non of my other pistols have the option to switch it. Mine is about 4 years old with a little under 2k round count. I would certainly feel comfortable purchasing another if it came down to it....or getting a Gen4 G19 plus a G34...sometimes I feel like I'm sitting right in the middle :)
