I've seen plenty of 19's in stores lately.  I don't get cues from big box stores like Academy about firearms availability, though.  Just saying - they're out there.  Plenty of them.

I'm telling you, the II series of guns were nice.  Again, my Warrior II as reference.  Never a problem out of it.  It's still serving its new owner very well.  But here are a few more gems from Arfcom about the announcement... :lol:       "They'll find a way to @#$% up a 150 year old design. It'll be pretty though."   "Will it be an over priced, unreliable POS like all their other products?"   "How in the hell do you make a revolver that won't run? I guess we'll see!"   "I wish those schmoes would make something else. Like toilet flush handles. But they would probably mess that up too."   "IS IT GONNA HAVE RAILS?!!"   "@#$%.  If you think they suck at 1911's you should buy a few of their rifles..."   "Should I just throw my Python in the trash right now?"   <--This guy!  LOL   "I'm just going to go ahead and sell all my Smiths so I can buy one....."

I had no problems with my Kimber Warrior but I saw these comments elsewhere and chuckled...   "And with that the legendary reliability of the revolver was laid to rest."   "The the reliability of a Taurus, with the looks of a Smith & Wesson, for three-times the price."

  I was going to post pretty much the same thing.  I have two of them in my parts bin because I tried them and found that I was riding them with my thumb, preventing the slide from locking back.

  No.  No we didn't.

  T-Rex Arms cranks out some really nice stuff, is local and is generally a good guy as I understand it.  One of my colleagues is "neighbors" with him and speaks highly of the whole family.   There's also Fury Carry Solutions over in Knoxville.

  Oh good Lord... all of our posts would go "missing" then.  Let's not involve them!  :)

Still trying to get it fixed.

Steve, you won't be disappointed!!

  We can line 'em up for you.  :)

  Second this.  I have a bunch of TT Gunleather holsters and have replaced all of my Milt Sparks VM2 with them now.  The Mike's Special is fantastic.

I still don't get why he asked to be deleted, but whatever.  :lol:

  One step ahead of you; already did it after I replied.  :)

  Sorry, I drank it.

We can delete it and you can re-add it.  For some reason editing is a feature the author of that add-on never gave us.

  That's like saying you want to switch to Catholicism because you want a religion where it's ok to drink, but no other reason.  It's offensive to Catholics, and equally offensive to us who like our Glocks.  :)

  Most companies require it.  Ours requires a 2-year degree for manager and 4-year degree for director.  Graduate degrees are required for AVP and above.

  The Peter Principle:  Promoted to the level of their incompetence.

I offered to ban you.   We don't delete accounts.

I know several current and former Asurion employees.  Without exception every single one of them hate the place.  There is a reason why Asurion cannot easily hire from the Nashville talent-pool anymore:  Word has gotten out about how utterly hellish it is to work there.   Every single thing that Lagerhead said about them is true.  For some departments it is far worse than that, even.  Nashville has a job-seeker's market right now for IT positions, so you have countless options other than Asurion to consider.  Do yourself a favor and avoid them like the plague.   That said, some of what Lagerhead said about Asurion made me laugh in a self-pitying sort of way, because we face that at my company too.  Jonathon can attest that I'm telling you the truth.  We fight very hard to disconnect from critical incidents where it's been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that our systems are part of the problem, and sometimes we still don't succeed and we still get stuck on those calls for hours on end.  I'm trying to correct that as much as I can and this year I'll be a little more ballsy about it.  They're going to either have to let me change some things for the better, or fire me.   We also deal with some of the same challenges in our change control process.  Normally the non-technical people don't push back as hard as what Lagerhead said he put up with at Asurion, but on occasion they do make us question whether they can tie their own shoes or if someone does it for them.   I guess what I am saying is this:   1.)  Asurion is a cesspool.  Don't do that to yourself unless you voted for Obama during both elections.  If you did vote for him, I can get you hired over there.  You deserve it.   2.)  Ineptitude is everywhere.  The key is finding the place that compensates you the best for as much of it as you're willing to tolerate.     Jonathon and I both work for a pretty good, very large company with a huge IT shop.  Reach out to him if you'd like to float your resume around.  If you get a job, he can get a bit of a bonus for helping you get placed.  :)

Personally I think TGO has beat this into the ground.  I'm also pretty sure that were I him, I wouldn't necessarily want my info out there on the Internet.  I'm not e-famous the way he is, but it's been done to me because of TGO and it really pissed me off.   Not that the information about either of us isn't readily accessible to the people who want to dig, but when people on TGO, blogs, Facebook and other social outlets just beat the issue to death, it does nothing BUT draw more attention to it.  You guys might as well light up a spotlight and swing it on his house at this point, because that's effectively what all of these threads are doing.

  Our old group (may still be around?) was SMC; Smokey Mountain Cruisers.  I  know a few guys at work that have FJC's.

There's a bug of some sort at play here.  I've disabled the Chat feature until I can get it fixed.

  Man!  We barely had an FJ/LC group in the area when I had mine a few years ago.  That's nice!!!

  There's also Topless in Tennessee based out of Dickson that seems to be doing things right.  I'll add them to the Mule Town Jeepers that Glowdot recommended earlier.   The group that torpedoed Tennessee Jeeps is Jeeps and Wrenches.  I'm sure it has grown beyond the core group that started it now and some of their members are fine folks, but that core group was some of the nastiest, most spiteful, back-stabbing bunch of people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.  They ruined my enjoyment of the "sport" are one of the reasons why I no longer have  Jeep of any kind.  I sank a lot of time and money into the local Jeep community and for a while there we were doing some really big, well organized things, and then that group got greedy, selfish and ruined the whole thing.   There's a few of their founding members that I'd seriously punch in the face if I saw again anytime soon because I firmly believe that people shouldn't be afforded free-range to be nasty and hateful the way they were.
