TGO David

I don't watch much TV other than stuff on the History Channel or Fox News... but '24' has my attention every Monday night. Anyone else?

In the past I've tried Federal Hydra-Shok (9mm and 40SW) and Cor-Bon (40SW) , but since I started carrying a 45acp sidearm I've switched to Speer Gold Dot in 195gr. What are the rest of you using and do you have any particular reason why you use it?

Just some photos of the new Glock 21SF that was introduced at the Shotshow 2007 and is due to be released in March. One version will have the standard accessory rail and the second will have the picatinny accessory rail. Rumor has it that the US gov't is interested in the version with the picatinny rail. The 21SF will be .45acp just like the Model 21 and includes an ambidextrous mag release and 13rd magazine capacity. Basically Glock's answer to the Springfield XD45. Click the thumbnails for full-sized photos. I should note that I fully intend to own one of these once they are released.

I'm afraid you're right about that. I will admit that I walked blindly through life until recently, thinking that I would only carry when I thought I might need it. Then it dawned on me that if I knew when I might need it, I'd be smart to avoid that time/place/situation in the first place. The fact is, we never know when we might need to protect ourselves from the wolves. It could happen to any of us, at any time, at any place. The first rule of surviving a gun fight is: BRING A GUN. That's why I carry all the time now. But I digress. Most folks with their permit probably very rarely carry. They've gone from being mere sheep to sheep with a false sense of security.

It definitely sounds like a good start!

The one I am looking at most seriously for our AR is a Viking brand. They have several versions, but I'm probably just going to go for the simple standard sling rather than the padded sling. The Remington 870 may end up with their padded sling down the road, however.

Careful kicking a guy when he's down... sometimes he knows how to shoot while he's on his back too!

Will disassemble and check the extractor and bolt. Thanks for the info!

I stumbled across this earlier while searching for some shooting gloves. Thought perhaps others could benefit. http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/earplugs.html

By way of an update... Hornet Handler and I visited the range yesterday an we tried out some Federal round nose ammo. Same problem occurred. It's definitely not the ammo, but rather the rifle. I will be calling Ruger today to speak to customer service and see about sending the rifle in for some service work.

Just wondering if there are any features that other web communities have that you would like to see here. Right now I figure we have most of the basics covered with the forums, the photo gallery and the future addition of some databases to keep track of shooting ranges, prohibited carry locations, etc. But is there anything else that you'd like to see?

Considering that she has a gun now and shoots better than I do most of the time...

I have heard nothing but good things about Kramer's products, JDD. I'm still in search of a good carry holster for my Kimber 1911 so I might just have to take a look at his stuff while I'm shopping.

Unfortunately it's easy for everyone else to Monday Morning Quarterback the decision if I opt not to go. That weekend is my 1st wedding anniversary. As much as I might enjoy the experience at Tactical Response, there comes a point when discretion is the better part of valor.

Welcome! You've got good taste in firearms.

Welcome! Glad to have you here with us.

I'm not sure yet. I want to, but there are some other things happening that weekend as well.

Welcome, Josh! Truth be told, MissouriCarry is one of the sites that inspired me to create TGO. I really like what they've done with it.

I'm definitely willing to start a LEO subforum if enough people want it.

Looks like one of our members is celebrating a birthday today. Happy birthday and best wishes for many more to come!

I've got some 223 that I'd like to burn off and about 200 rds of 45acp. Who knows, we might try to make it to On Target today and may see you there. Too early to say for sure right now as the day's just getting started.

Incredible pictures! Even more anxious to attend a session or two now.

Animals don't sue you when you hit them with something that is more potent than legally allowed for use on humans.

It would seem to be an irrelevant question given that you're interested in stopping humans, right?

I think they have upgraded a lot of that site in the past two weeks. Just a few days ago some of the links that work now didn't work at all. It's nice to see that they are putting some effort into revamping the site!
