It was a small show, but has potential in future. I traded by set of Vaqueros 45 Colt and sold the G27 w/ns I received toward trade. I made slightly more than I priced on TGO.

I called promoter and they said gun show and hunting/fishing show. Buy/sale/trade guns. I plan on taking a couple of Ruger New Vaquero's in 45 Colt. I'll be there early on Saturday.

I have the LCR 357 and it is my 2nd carry. I use Federal 125g Nyclad HP bullets and recoil is good and very accurate.Hard to find ammo and has gotten expensive.

Is the Shelbyville show a gunshow or a hunting/fishing expo?

I persoally would carry a 9mm or larger. Maybe trade for Kahr PM9 or CM9. Good dependable and concealable small carry guns.

I have had 1894c Marlins in 357 and 45 colt. Both were fantastic lever guns. I still have my 45 colt for some cowboy action shoots. I tried the Rossi 92 in 45 colt, even with change in springs/polishing, it doesn't compare to Marlin 1894c.

This compact comes in either 10 rd or 12 rd mags. Is there a real difference in dimensions in Mags? I assume either 10 rd or 12 rd can be used in the same gun. Is the differences just the spring? Finger rest on 12 rd will not work on a 10 rd mag. This implies that base is different on these two mags. I have 10 rd mags and would like to use a 12 rd as a spare. comment please.

It was a very small show, not many used guns, mostly licensed dealers. I went looking for M&P 9c and found a used one from another walk-around. So drive was worth it. I may not go to the next RK show in Lebanon.

I plan on going Sunday morning and take one handgun to sale/trade. Hope there are plenty of walk-arounds with guns to trade.

It sounds like mag spring is too strong. It pushes round up and cambering round moves next round in mag forward. This causes drag of bullet against mag well when you hit mag release and it only drops 1". This is most likely why it happens with partial or full mag. Maybe order reduce tension mag spring or regular spring and shorten slightly. Good luck.

The 357 Sig has more penetration, stopping power and better accuracy than the 40 S&W. Also shape of cartridge gives more reliable feeding.

Rugers are strong and the SW 586 or 686 were built for heavy use.I have both, and the Ruger is heavier in same caliber.

I like Glocks and M&P's, both. The Glock 26, 33, 36 and 21 Gen4 are my carry/shooters and the M&P 45c and 9 fit my hand a little bit better. The Glock is a accurate and reliable gun but the grip ergonomics could be improved, that's why I have some M&P's. The slim carry of the G36 replaces my Kahr PM9 on occasion when I want a bigger caliber. The PM9 is one up on Glock/M&P due to its size and mag capacity for a small gun.

I've gotten some good deals at Toliver's in Manachester and he will do a gun transfer for $20 which includes State's $10. Mike seems pretty fair in his trade deals. There are alot of guns in the back room if you don't see what you're looking for in display cases. Chad, ex-military, at Chi Rho in Tullahoma will spend some time talking guns, etc. He has a new store with business growing, small inventory right now. I expect his shop to grow.

I too have owned several 686's in 4"&6" and the 66 in 2 1/2". I decided to reduce the size of my gun safe revolver inventory, and the model 66's in 2 1/2" and 4" were sold. The 686 in 4" is a gun for all uses, is very reliable and tough. The 66 in 2 1/2" looks good and was an easier carry. The 686 is mostly my woods gun with first two chambers loaded with snake shot and the other four 125g HP. My snake and bigger varmint stopper. My 2 cents.

I have had SW 629's and Ruger Super Redhawk's, both are nice 44 magnums, but for mag shooting and hunting I too would go with a Ruger. Sorry for causing more confusion, but I have traded 629's for Super Redhawks on several occasions. I currently have a SRH. Good luck with your decision.

I carry a gun because snakes are not just in the woods.

Toliver's Gun & Pawn in Manchester charges $20 total for transfers.

The last one on TGO sold for $300 with two mags. Wait and save, if you have some type of conceal carry now. I have the PM9 and had a CM9 that I picked up in a trade. I sold CM9 for $385. The CM9 comes with one mag, polymer front sight, and regular rifled barrel. Most used CM9's have 2 mags in deal. If I didn't have the PM9, I too would be looking for a used CM9.

+1 for conceal carry.

I cann't edit my post to change to "SOLD". I was able to change to "Sold", but when post saved still old status "For Sale". How do you get it to save correctly?

Enjoy the sun and ocean and don't get burnt. Eat lots of sea food for us at home. You might try Big Reds and Ribs, their big red shrimp is great.

I found a M&P 9 full size. I shot it this morning, trigger and grip felt good and gun grouped great. G19 Gen4 is now on TGO classified. Great gun but just not the right ergonomics for me. Someone please buy.

I have not shot a M&P 9mm, but I have shot and really like the M&P 45c with the apex duty/carry kit. I have held a M&P 9mm and it fits my hand with small grips better than G19 Gen4 without grip insert. I like the 3 mags w/15 rds, night sights and Gen4 grip texture of the G19 I traded for, but the grip just feels like a 2x4 in circumference. My glock sub-compacts fit my hand better circumferentially than the compact size. Maybe I can rent a M&P 9mm at some indoor range near Murfreesboro for a shooting trial.

I' have a G19 Gen4 that I'm considering trading for a M&P 9mm. I have the M&P 45c and really like the grip and the feel during shooting. The M&P ergonomics feels much better than the G19 in my hands. What would you recommend? I have several subcompact Glocks (G26, G33, G36 all Gen3), that feel better in my hand than the G19, and only one M&P.
