Glad you appreciated it. Cheers, Whisper

You need to attend a class at Citizens Safety Academy in Murfreesboro. Aqil Qadir and Tiffany Johnson are some of the best people in the industry, not just in TN, but nationally. EHCP requires no maintenance other than renewal every three years, and it doesn't affect your driver's license. Getting the permit so you can carry in other states is an excellent reason to have one.

GUN IS SOLD Continuing to reduce the collection. Here's a fine little SIG P365XL with a ton of extras: original grip module, two Wilson Combat grip modules (one black, one olive), original box with manual, plus 10 magazines -- six 12-rounds, two 15-rounds, and two 17-rounds. Also has Holosun 507KX2 red dot sight, plus original open sights. $650 to a Tennessee resident legally able to purchase handguns. Check the going price of SIG magazines and you'll see that this deal is hotter than a Hezbollah pocket pager. Sorry, no trades this time. I live in Chattanooga and will travel a reasonable distance for a deal. Thanks for looking, Whisper

The HK VP9 has been my favorite handgun since 2018, but their numbers have grown here at my house, and I need to thin the herd. For sale I have: 1. VP9 with olive grip frame, original three-dot luminous sights, BH date code indicates 2017 mfg, Ulm proof marks. Comes with original box with all grip adapters and loading tool and manual, plus four HK 15-round magazines. $650. 2. HK VP9 with black grip frame, HK high-profile sights with luminous dot on front sight, BG date code indicates 2016 mfg, Ulm proof marks. Gun also has Holosun 508T green dot sight; slide was milled for the sight by J&L Machining (direct mount; no plates ). Comes with original box with all grip adapters and loading tool and manual, plus four HK 15-round magazines. Holosun box also included. $775. 3. HK VP9 longslide conversion kit, complete with slide, barrel, recoil spring assembly; HK high-profile sights with luminous dot on front sight; BK date code indicates 2019 mfg; Ulm proof marks. Gun also has Holosun 508T red dot sight; slide was milled for the sight by J&L Machining (direct mount; no plates ). In addition, slide comes with one HK 15-round magazine and one HK 20-round magazine. $550, but I'll knock $50 off the price it someone buys this along with one of the guns. Holosun box also included. For trades, I'm looking for a Commander-sized (4 to 4.5 inch) 9mm 1911, or a Remington 870 in 12 or 20 gauge. Other possibilities also considered, although no plastic pistols (I have plenty already) and no ARs. I'm in Chattanooga but will drive a reasonable distance for a deal. I may be traveling to Nashville next week for non-gun purposes. Thanks for looking, Whisper

I tried selling this last summer and didn't get any serious interest, so I'm trying again. German-made SIG P220 .45 ACP, good condition with two OEM stainless 7-round magazines, two OEM stainless 10-round magazines, and one no-name 10-round magazine. This gun had Hogue rubber grips on it when it came to me, but I put Hogue G10 grips on it (you still get the rubber ones, too). Also comes with a nice SIG-branded padded nylon carrying case. KF date code makes this a 1995 gun. Night sights are long dead, of course, but could be replaced. I just painted the front sight orange and have kept shooting it. $700 to a Tennessee resident legally able to purchase handguns. Sorry, no trades this time. I live in Chattanooga and can drive a reasonable distance for a sale. Thanks for looking, Whisper

I need to find a loving home for this SIG P210 Standard; the US-made version of the original P210. This has fixed sights and a reasonable-size grip, unlike the P210 Target, which adjustable sights and what I (and many others) consider an overly large target grip. This gun handles extremely well and is a great shooter. I'm the original owner of this gun and it's been shot less than 200 times. Comes with four OEM SIG magazines. As you can see, it's unblemished and in outstanding condition. $1200 to a Tennessee resident legally able to purchase handgun. I live in Chattanooga but will drive a reasonable distance for a sale. Trade possibilities: I'm looking for a Commander-length (4 to 4.25 inches) 1911 9mm, also a Rem 870 in 12 or 20 gauge. Other possibilities considered, but no plastic guns or ARs (I have enough already). Thanks for looking, Whisper

He was a long-time NRA member. He mentioned it in his 1993 and 2004 biographies. Cheers, Whisper

It just told me that it wants to go live at your house. Cheers, Whisper

GUN IS SOLD. German-made SIG P228 9mm, two-tone with electroless nickel slide and fire controls and with black anodized frame. KF stamp on slide indicates 1995 manufacture. This is the best condition SIG I've ever owned; it's immaculate. Not surprising for its age, the Trijicon night sights (also dated 1995) are dead. But the gun is perfect otherwise. Gun comes with two original SIG 10-round magazines (1995 was during the years of the Klinton Crime Bill), but there are also four new-in-the-wrapper MecGar 15-round magazines. Comes in original Sig box with unused trigger lock, but the manual has been lost. $750 to a Tennessee resident legally able to purchase handguns. For trades, I'm looking for a P220 with no rail, and a P239 9mm. Also a CZ P01 or SP01. Might consider others as well; let me know what you have. Don't need any Glocks or ARs. I'm located in Chattanooga; will drive a reasonable distance for a deal. Thanks for looking, Whisper

Nice work, DTJC45. Please let us know how it runs. Cheers, Whisper

Shooters Supply in Hixson, Montlake Freedom Works in Red Bank. Both have interesting used guns, including milsurp. Anthony's Armory, also in Red Bank, usually has some interesting consignment items but they're seldom open on Saturdays. Cheers, Whisper

Yeah, same here. For a gun that expensive to be non-functional right out of the box, and the manufacturer not to have someone standing by to fix it the minute it gets back into the shop, is inexcusable. All manufactured products can have problems, but when you pay a premium price, you should get corresponding levels of service. Six to eight weeks ain't it. Cheers, Whisper

Man, I have no use for it, but I'd still dearly love to have that FN. Cheers, Whisper

Six to eight weeks? And that passes for customer service? Are they that swamped with returns of defective guns? Making a note to myself re future gun purchases.... Hope things work out for you, Whisper

An awful lot is written and said about the accuracy of the Carcano, but almost all of it comes from people who know nothing. Here's an interesting article that I just came across this morning: Army Veteran Analyzes the Infamous Rifle That Ended JFK's Life | SOFREP (Short summary -- a trained rifleman could make this shot repeatedly.)
