  1. Here is the latest from the National Hurricane Center. Looks like Irma may come to Knoxville for Lunch!
  2. These Mauser .45acp conversions remind me of the old Spanish Destroyer carbine in 9mm Largo. I actually think they'd make a decent 100 yard pick up truck gun. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
  3. Beautiful rifle!!!
  4. Anyone but Harwell. I've been bashing her 2A stance every time her FB page shows up on my feed. She catches a lot of flak from the gas tax reform too. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
  5. I never been in Harvey's when there wasn't least 3 or 4 people in there at a given time. If you don't like crowds never go on Saturday. The reason is they have great prices, hard to find items and layaway 10% down, 10% a month for 10 months. They call it the "Marriage Saver". Example: a new Taurus 738 .380 for $145 + tax and BGC today. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
  6. Harvey's has the SCCY CPX-2 on sale today for $179 + tax and BGC.
  7. Was it loaded? [emoji12] Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk
  8. I just read that they are scheduled to move as early as 2018.
  9. SCCY (SKKY) had their issues early on with the CPX-1. Taurus seems to have solved their QC issues with this newest generation of pistols. The Millennium G2 is a very good pistol. The one complaint I had with mine is the trigger pull is a bit long.
  10. In fairness to S&W, I am also comparing it to an M&P that I bought new last Fall. Hated that pistol the day I took it home and realized I needed a tool to take it down. It went down hill from there after I took it to the range and realized the horrendous trigger everyone talked about was not an exaggeration. Traded it away for a XDs, also in .45ACP. Hope the other guy was happy with his end of the trade. I know I sure was!
  11. I've had a Glock 17 since 1990 and I think the FNS is a superior pistol. I'm not sure why more police departments are using them. They are far and above a S&W M&P!!!
  12. Harvey's in Knoxville is selling these in black, right now for $189+ tax and BGC. You will not find a better deal on the market!
  13. Springfield's marketing people must have all come from S&W after the 1st M&P series came out.
  14. Where in the heck do you see PLR-16s? I never seen except in magazines and on the net. I thought they weren't real!
  15. Mine shoots 5.56 NATO.
  16. Went to work at 16 for a local cleaning service at the Millers on Henley St, here in Knoxville. Made Foreman of the crew after three months. Later transfered to another part of the company, cleaning schools, where I was also a Foreman. Did that for several years, into college, until I went off to Basic Training with the U.S. Army Reserves. After getting my MOS as a Construction Surveyor, I went to work for a Civil Engineering firm as a surveyor. Later I went into the office as a Draftsman, then later back out into the field as a Survey Party Chief. Then back into the office where I learned CAD. I've been a Civil Designer for several firms, over a period of 27 years. But 5 years ago I changed fields and moved into Substation and Switchyard Electrical Design. I'm now a Senior Physical Designer. While in the Army Reserve, I worked my way up to Construction Inspector, until I left that unit after Desert Storm. After that I went into a Marksmanship training unit. I shot competitively for the ARCOM and also trained marksmanship to units heading to Bosnia. But the thing I've been most proud of is being married to a wonderful woman for 28 years and raising 3 awesome kids! Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk
  17. Beautiful old war horse!!!
  18. Black is beautiful!!! Of course, I sorta prejudice, I think I got three of the four. I also have a Hi-point carbine. As long as you stay with Hi-point mags and keep the them in good shape, it runs like a Singer sewing machine. Stay away from the Pro-Mag 15 rounders though! They are garbage.

  19. Reminds me of the Desert Eagle .357 or .44 magnum!
  20. Have you shot it yet? Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk
  21. My oldest graduated from TTU May 6th, Summa Cum Laude and my son graduated in Dec. and walked Wednesday night. He plans to attend community college and then transfer to TTU in Computer Science in two years. Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk

    If it's anything like my FNS, it's a great pistol. My go to 9mm used to be a Glock 17. Now it's the FNS. Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk
  23. But the thing about the M&P triggers, is they have been this way since the beginning. It's the top complaint that I have heard and read about them. Got to figure S&W has heard the samething, but it seems they've made no effort to improve them. Seems they aren't very interested in improving their product. But regardless of the trigger, it's still honestly the worst feeling semi auto, I have ever had. Ungainly and unwieldy. From my point of view any way. Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk
  24. I bought one in the Fall of 15. Hated it. The trigger was horrible and the balance was all wrong for me. I also hated the grip felt like I was holding onto a thick broom handle. I also wasn't that impressed with the accuracy. I also don't like weapons that require a tool to take it down. I traded it for a XDs .45 and have never regretted it. Doubt I will ever buy another M&P again.

    New Micro gun?

    I have two. One I carry on serious occasions and one that's on me just about all the time. The first is an XDs .45acp, but I don't pocket carry that one, unless it's winter time and then it rides in a coat pocket. Other wise it's in a holster. Anything heavier than 16oz loaded should ride in a holster in my opinion. The second, that I carry everywhere, in a pocket holster, is a little Keltec P32. I had a Keltec PF9, but found it utterly not reliable. The little P32 is the exact opposite. Sent from my SM-G860P using Tapatalk
