  1. $348 otd plus 50 rnds of fmj for $12 and the manual can be downloaded from Sigs site in English. I highly recommend The Rabbis Shop.

    I'm glad the good Rabbi is in Nashville and not Memphis--that would be too tempting.

  2. For the GLOCks I would definitely go with a holster. I carry a G23 or G27 in either IWB or JIT slide, both by Don Hume. The slide fits both but the IWB are model specific.

    The orange New York 2 spring will give about an 11-12 lb. trigger, and the olive New York 1 will make a Glock about 7.5-8 lbs. Neither will be as long as a DA revolver. I'm with everybody else--if you are going to carry a Glock, it needs to be in a holster.

  3. That was my wife's only problem with jury duty. The defendant sits there and you are asked your name and where you live during voir dire. If you had a bad-ass defendant, they know who to look for when they get out.

    a very legitimate concern around here, too.

  4. I would have to keep my mind on the facts presented though because watching two or three good attorneys work is a thing of beauty, seeing them set their traps and watching the other guy or gal snake through them .... or not (unfortunately for their clients).

    You give lawyers more credit than I do--back when I was about 14 or 15, a lawyer tried to set one of his "traps" for me while I was on the witness stand, but I made him look like the fool he was. My friend's dad especially got a kick out of this, since this defense attorney couldn't outwit a teenager. The guy who defended the thug who shot my dad five years ago is fairly well known around here, but his efforts were laughable. In my experience, the intelligence of many lawyers is somewhat overrated.

  5. I checked out MSSA's website. It seems like a lot of money up front, but it is a bargain compared to going to the range twice a month. I don't reload, so I buy my rounds there and with the range fee it comes to $40-$50, depending on if I get two or three boxes of ammo (I buy the cheap stuff in the orange box--$10 for 50). Twice a month and that's $1000 or more a year. But MSSA doesn't let you draw your pistol from the holster, so says the website. You can't even carry it in the holster when you're there, it says. To me that's a deal breaker. I'm not going to shoot at a place that won't let me do that. I shoot to train, and just picking the weapon up from the bench and firing is not training.

    Yeah, Memphis kind of blows when it comes to finding a place to shoot something other than a pistol. It's a hike, but Brighton Arms up past Millington will let you shoot just about anything. They're pretty cool.

    Once you get "qualified" to use the Action Pistol range (and it's not too big a deal), you can unholster, reholster, draw, fire, fire two shots, draw and fire a full mag, shoot while moving, shoot at things that move, shoot at things that move while moving, and generally raise hell on the AP range. The best way to get qualified is to go and shoot an IDPA match on Saturdays or a USPSA match on Sundays (after you join). Whoever is running one of those matches is usually the one who will qualify you anyway. However, you don't have to be a member if you just want to shoot these matches.

  6. Hmmm...if the Jews want to burn Bibles, I think it's their business. However, I think it's lousy PR, since they get their F-16s and M-16s and untold $$$ from a country that, for the most part, highly respects the Bible. Lots of folks blame Israel for our problems with Muslim terrorists, and burning Bibles probably just adds fuel to the fire.

    :rolleyes:

    BTW, my favorite Jew is Sacha Cohen. Sorry Rabbi, but this guy is a hoot.

  7. For tn i think a 3x9 is too much power, but it works well out west where the ranges are greater...and thats where the gun magazine guys are.

    I respectfully disagree. A few years back, I was on a big beanfield just before sunup and spotted a deer at ~175 yards. On 3X, I thought I saw antlers, but wasn't positive. I ran my Redfield 3-9 up to 9X, verified antlers, and downed a 7 point buck. I never would have taken the shot without that scope.

  8. I have served twice since getting a carry permit, but didn't actually get a case either time--just sat in the big waiting room and read a book and drank Coke, hoping to get picked for a big Mafia case and get sequestered for a couple weeks. My boss told me to get out of it. I told him I wouldn't get out of it even if I could. In Shelby County, nobody gets out of it, unless they simply don't show up. One friend used this method successfully. I do think there are those who shouldn't be forced to serve--single moms, etc. I wouldn't miss it for the world, though. Coincidently, my wife has it in three weeks, and I am jealous.
