Thanks for posting that, Frank... I've got some work I'd like to have done on a 1911 and he sounds like the man to do it.

I think that you would be best served sending that CZ to someone who really knows the guns inside and out. http://ghostholster.com/ Scroll down to the bottom of that page and you'll see mention of their association with gunsmith Eric Zinn and contact info. The site's proprietor is Angus Hobdell -- US Multi Grand Master, 4 Times STI / American Handgunner Shoot Off winner, Multi British & European Champion. All done with a CZ.

One of our members (Crazy Lincoln) has a SIG 556 also. He's spoken highly of it. But, I too have read some negative posts about them elsewhere so apparently there are at least a vocal few out there who aren't totally satisfied with their rifles. Unfortunately we may never hear from the majority who have had no such problems.

So... Who gets to throw the switch, and is someone bringing marshmallows?

I'd buy one of those for my boss and call him... a lot. Especially at 2am when he's sure to be half asleep and groggy.

That's probably a matter of how you employ it.

TiVo that sucker and put your friends on alert that if anyone tells you the score [they'll lose] before you get home to watch the game [where they lost] that you'll break open a can [like 'Bama usually does] on them when you get back. PS: If my subliminal suggestions torqued you, I guess you'll have to come to the shoot [and skip the game] and talk to me about it. See... this is already sounding like a good idea!

What: Meet and Shoot (not each other!) for Middle TN Members When: October 2007 Where: Undetermined... may be near Winchester, TN I'm trying to get a preliminary head count of members who might be able to participate in a Middle TN get together. Those East TN guys are really making us look bad with their regular meet n' shoots! This would be on a Saturday in October and would likely span from mid morning until late afternoon. If we can do this somewhere near Winchester then we can all meet up at Hero Gear, clean out Joe's inventory, grab some lunch nearby and then head to a range. None of this is firm. I haven't even spoken with Joe about this but I'm pretty sure he'd be OK with folks coming in and buying up a bunch of stuff since that's what he is in business for. The reason I am throwing this out here in the public is because a preliminary head count of people who would most likely attend would be a good thing to have for planning purposes. So, please take a moment and vote in the poll attached to this thread and let me know if you might be able to make it if something like this is put together. Thanks.

It won't take that long. Comp-Tac's usual turnaround time is about 1-2 weeks max.

Natural selection at work!

At least it's not a Windows SmartPhone. Windows + Glock unsupported chamber = disaster waiting to happen.

I profile people daily. It's called being vigilant and it keeps you from becoming a statistic. Tell me; how did you feel during that moment when you realized that you were unarmed because permit holders are unable to legally carry on certain properties?

Triggertime, Urse... I can provide you with the name and address of my local FFL so that you can buy a Glock for me (I'll take a model 23 since that was the last one I had that I liked) and have it shipped to me. Use these folks: On Target I'll await either receipt of the gun or your silence on the matter. In the meantime, I'll be carrying either my H&K P2000 or my Kimber Pro CDP II thinking about how horrible both guns are in the face of Glock Perfection and wishing for the day that I can finally turn my back on what the rest of the world thinks are fine firearms and once again carry the weapon of choice among budget choked police departments, training junkies and ditch warriors.

Welcome. What brings a Montana resident to our neck of the woods?

Cool. It should have arrived already or will shortly. My MTAC for the H&K arrived today and I only ordered it a week ago Friday. The Labor Day holiday delayed it a bit.

Welcome, pilot.

Funny but sad... a co-worker was just telling me that on his way to N. Carolina this past Friday he got stopped by the THP for doing a little faster than they allow. During the stop, the Trooper told him that a nearby group of electrical linemen were also on his short list to attend to. Seems that they had left an HUGE spool of wire (the kind that is hauled on a trailer) unattended at their roadside job site and someone came along, hooked up to the trailer, and hauled it off for them. You would think that would be hard to sell at a salvage yard without raising some eyebrows.

Nope.

Hey... I just said that I wanted one. I never said I wanted to pay for one.

Rule #1: Don't leave things of value unattended. I find it especially disturbing that you left a firearm unsecured in your vehicle while you were inside checking the score of the ball game, etc. Even if for only a minute, that's a serious breach of protocol. Sorry to hear that this happened. While it may seem that I'm busting your balls, I'm just trying to reaffirm what you have probably already said to yourself a dozen times now. Namely, that you set yourself up to be taken advantage of by some of this world's scum bags. Like the X-Files often touted... Trust No One.

They are pretty similar in appearance to the M&P but the swappable grip side panels adds another level of customization to the gun. I'm still waiting for Smith & Wesson to go ahead and release the M&P 9mm Pro with the 5" bbl.

Howdy.

It sounds like a promising piece of work from H&K and one that I hope is followed by the release of the much ballyhooed HK45 and HK45C. Those two have been loitering in vaporland for over a year now and a lot of H&K enthusiasts are anxious to get their hands on them. I for one will be watching reviews of the HK45C with great interest as it could be the ultimate .45ACP polymer carry piece if everything that the preliminary reviews are saying is true.

October 2007 Guns & Ammo Review of the new Heckler and Koch P30 9mm Service Pistol H&K Hits One Out The polymer-frame 9mm wars are heating up once again, and H&K's got a very serious contender in the P30. By Patrick Sweeney Heckler & Koch and I go way back. I first shot an H&K about 30 years ago. My opinion then was that it was a perfect example of Germanic over-engineering: heavy, with snappy recoil, too many parts and everything about it expensive (just like German cars without the leather seats). Despite the vaunted H&K reputation for reliability, I even managed once to break the "anvil" of them all--an MP-5. The relationship was apparently a mutual one, for despite repeated requests, this represents only the second time H&K has sent me something for review. I was all set to roll out my snarky comments about "shoebox-proportioned slides" and oversize parts. I had all my snappy similes about H&K recoil ready to go. I've gotten in trouble in the past with the H&K masses for my less- than- gushing reviews of the H&K firearms I was able to test, even when H&K didn't send me any. (Borrowed, not from H&K.) And then they sent me the P30. Read the rest of the article here...

Murtha's time has come and gone. His continued involvement in politics reminds me of someone closer to home... Naifeh. Edit... I see Marswolf beat me off the line while I was away doing other things.
