TGO David

This is a re-addition to my collection and represents one of those that I never should have parted with the first time. By chance I happened across this at On Target last night while talking to Sean, and it followed me home with my wife's reluctant blessing.

Are you ever going to get tired of telling the moderators how they should be doing their jobs? I've read the code of conduct... hell, I wrote it... and I can't seem to find anything in there that states that TGO is a democracy or that mob rule applies. If there was something wrong with this thread, I'd have closed it by now. Really, it's becoming pretty tiring that you seem to stand ready to criticize the TGO Staff. It sounds like you would probably be happier somewhere else where the moderators did things your way.

Still haven't fired the 45... I hope to break it in some at the range. But I scooped up a P2000 40 V3 this evening.

I have another HK toy to break in now.

I have certain gems of wisdom on speed-dial in my bookmarks. It's how I pass myself off as fairly smart.

I can't speak for Daniel, but I'd rather we rotate shooters than lanes. The lanes will be pretty difficult to rotate.

You're still missing the point. The fact is, the penetration requirement exists because your rounds may very likely need to penetrate bone, clothing, etc. And not just the rib bone. It may be several bones. It may be several bones AND the gun the guy is holding in his hand. Unlike at the range, real targets don't stand perfectly square in front of you and wait to be shot.

SUNDAY! SUNDAY!! SUNDAY!!! SUNDAYYYYY!!!!

Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like ****, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work. --Ferris Bueler

Yeah but the .38SPL or .357Mag coming out of a J-frame would probably have better chances of success than the .380ACP don't you think?

You really should quit pining for him in secret and just visit Camden and offer yourself to him.

They kick the **** out of your breakfast and turn your milk FDE. Heck yeah!

Just to be clear, I don't begrudge you the right to carry openly. It's just not for me, for the reasons expressed earlier. If it's working for you then that's all that matters.

It's also common for a manufacturer to use the same slide between multiple calibers and simply machine the barrels for those different calibers using blanks of the same outside diameter. It reduces cost.

Do what?

Nah Tim... you know better than that. We still have plenty of TFA members here.

If that's all the game you brought to this thread, you're clearly hanging out with the .25ACP crowd.

Oh, I'm completely thankful that we do not have to be concealed in Tennessee. I also firmly believe that the reason we don't have a concealed requirement is because some forward thinking individuals knew that occasionally feces would occur and we'd end up exposing our firearm while bending down to tie our shoe, or reaching up to get that last box of Tactical Froot Loops off the top shelf at Kroger. In states where concealment is mandatory, accidentally exposing your firearm can actually lead to charges being filed against you. So yeah, I'm really glad we don't have that asinine requirement here.

I've played the game with simunitions... I'm totally going to screw with your OODA loop if we do this. Thanks for being a good sport.

Isn't the point of these meetings, and the organization itself, to educate the members? I understand what you're saying, but if you have misinformation coming from the pulpit... I'd try to screen it a little better. But that's just me. You can't control what the guest speakers say, but you can definitely control who the guest speakers are and whether they get a repeat appearance if they turn out to be tools.

And for what it's worth, I've got handguns with all sorts of passive and active safeties. Glocks, revolvers, DA/SA handguns, SA-Only handguns, a cap and ball pistol that takes five minutes and a head start running downhill to load... I see none of them as being any more superior of a design (in terms of safety) than another. In fact, I always get sort of an involuntary gag reflex with the concept of safeties comes up on a gun forum. At a very simplistic level, we're all talking about the use of instruments designed to cause death. Big Boy Rules really ought to apply at all times when we handle these things.

I don't want to be that guy (the regulars will know what I mean) but... have you ever taken a serious training class where you were put into stressful situations with your gun, or are you just speaking from a perspective of "this is how things have played out in my head when I've imagined them" ? Because, seriously, I used to think along the same lines as you until someone showed me just how much Murphy likes to f### with you when a situation is already bad. It's eye opening.

It's the complete lack of a dingus that makes the revolver infinitely superior.

Oh, sorry... I missed the and logos beneath your screen name, so I neglected handle your ego with the proper amount of care. I've shot with plenty of cops and soldiers before. Can't say that being either automatically made all of them that good either and never saw one that was fast enough to get the drop on someone who already had the drop on them. But whatever.
