Moped

The U.S. military say 4 MOA is acceptable accuracy.

SDS is headquartered in West Knoxville.

The recall is for specific models and skews. You can see it here. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2024/02/01/safety-recall-tisas-1911-pistols/ Honestly, he’s probably right. But this puts money in CMP’s pockets. I’d bet more money, they probably need that money. No one here really believes the current administration in the White House and the Defense Department is a friend of the CMP. My guess is they’d love to see the CMP go away.

Interesting! Of course SDS is headquartered in Knoxville. I own one their U.S. Army 1911a1s. I found it to be every bit as reliable as the ones I shot in the Army and more accurate.

I wear bib overalls a lot on the weekends. I carry Ruger Max 9 with a CT1550 in a Sticky Holster OR-5 and that combo works great!!! Optics Ready 1 (OR-1) (stickyholsters.com)

Somewhere in the $300 to $400 range I imagine. Less, if you go to trade in at a LGS, though. Edited: Found one on Guns America that was rated at 98% that sold for $328. No idea when that was though.

If you find rental, let me know. I’d like to try it. That Taurus 327 TORO looks good too. Just haven’t found one to look at.

Has anyone looked at the Charter Arms Professional in .32 H&R? It's a 7 shot revolver with a 3" barrel length. There's a lot of interested being generated right now, with a Lipsey's exclusive release of the S&W 432/632 in .32 H&R next month. That got me on hunt for an alternative and then I found the Charter Arms Professional at Bud's. Charter Arms Professional IV 32 H&R Magnum Revolver | 73230 | Stainless/Silver, 3" Barrel, 7 Rounds, Wood Grips, 3-Dot Sights - Buds Gun Shop

Got several. A Remington 521T, Winchester 67, Ruger 1022 Backpacker and a Taurus TX22.

I had one for a number of years, until some asshole broke into my house and stole it, along with a Browning HP. It outshot every factory 1911 I put it up against. Notice I said factory, not custom. The only thing I did was change the grips out and add a two piece, full length guide rod. I still have the box, in the hopes that one day someone will pawn it or trade it in and it'll show up in a search and I will get it back. Back to the outshooting part, I put it up against a friend's SA with Novak sights. We each took turns shooting both pistols and the Norinco shot better for both of us. I did this with a Colt Series 70 and a Taurus 1911 with the same results with each of those pistols owners. For the $250 I paid for it, it was outstanding pistol!!! I'd love to have it back!

This is a step in the right direction, but based on the State Government’s track record of late, I think it gets bottled up and disappears. The Governor and the Executive Branch will oppose it vigorously. https://www.wvlt.tv/app/2024/01/24/bill-allow-people-with-certain-permits-carry-guns-businesses-that-prohibit-restrict-firearms/

That’s insane! What is “military grade” ammunition? Technically one could say “military caliber” ammunition would be “military grade”. And if you go back far enough, this would include calibers like .25acp (issued by the German Military pre WWII) and 45LC (issued to U.S. force during the Moro Rebellion in the Philippines). And rifles would be the same. Things like 30-06, 7mm Mauser, .338 Lapua, are all military calibers.

Can you find ammunition for these?

My advice comes from the perspective of a guy that carries everywhere, all the time. If you pick something that’s big or heavy, most likely, you are going to get to a point that you’ll quit carrying, because of the size or weight. The bigger the pistol, the more it tends to print and the more self conscious you’ll be. If it’s heavy and you don’t invest in the right belt and holster combo, then you are not going to want to carry, cause it will pull on your pants and you’ll be uncomfortable and go around tugging on them. Make sure that you’ll be comfortable carrying which ever pistol you pick.

I'm looking for owner opinions on this pistol. Is it as good as a Glock Gen 3 19? Or just opinions from owners of the PSA Dagger in general. PSA Dagger Compact 9mm RMR Pistol With Threaded Barrel, Sniper Green | Palmetto State Armory

Both are excellent pistols! Can't really go wrong with either. For me, I have medium sized hands, and I found the Safety on the CZ-75 hard to manipulate. But it was a supremely accurate pistol! I've never owned a SA35, but I have owned a Browning Hi-Power and it was the Goldilocks of single action autos for me! It fit just right!!! Sadly that pistol was stolen in a burglary (hope the bastard that stole it is burning in hell). I have handled the Girsan MC35 recently and it felt like an old friend. It's running about 2 or 300 hundred less that the SA35. But it is made in Turkey and some may not like that. Price wise, in the Knoxville area, you will generally spend about the same amount for either the CZ-75 or the SA35 (if you can find one).

Still a good thread for info, for the rest of us. I like the old stuff too, just don't see things that are that cheap anymore. I guess I'm still living in the 1990's though.

You can't buy them all Snaveba!

If someone is looking for a Charter Arms Bulldog in the Knoxville area, Crossroads Firearms, on Broadway, has a new Classic, like this one. https://charterfirearms.com/collections/bulldog/products/34431-44-special-classic-bulldog

The problems within the NRA have been well known a long time prior to this article being published. Until WLP and his cronies are gone, they'll get no more of my money. This article just brings to light how financially bad the situation is now. There are several other organizations that doing as better work on our behalf. I'll shift my funds to them.

I split time anymore, between a Ruger Max-9 with a RDS, and a S&W 442. I also will carry a Ruger LCP Max when it just too hard to conceal anything else. If I had a Berreta Cheetah or a Walther PPK/s in.32ACP, that would likely be in my rotation as well.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I had a couple of 3030 early on, a Marlin 336 and a Winchester 94. sold them both. but that was when LRs were cheap and plentiful and could be had for a couple of hundred bucks. Boy do I wish I still had both of them now! Fast forward to 2020, my wife bought me a Rossi 92 Trapper in .357. This has become one of my favorite rifles to woods bum with! it's a joy to carry around (lighter than either the Remlin or the Henry that I looked at the same time), accurate and the 16" barrel is the perfect length to get the most out of factory .357 magnum ammunition. Since, I've added a Henry Classic .22 and have a 1953 3030 Winchester 94 in lay-a-way at my LGS. I'll be looking for another Marlin next, then a Savage.

Slowly??? you should just delete those underline words. Makes the statement more accurate!

Love mine! It was what I learned to shoot with 56 years ago.
