Thanks! Let's see what develops at Ruger.

I have HP pistols and carbines in both 9mm and .45ACP. Pistols are ugly but work fine, and I don't especially care if they get beat up. Good for tackle box, etc. Carbines are very fun to shoot. My family and friends seem to like shooting them way more than ARs. Just got a Ruger PC Carbine 9mm. Takes Glock mags. That's gonna be my carbine of choice. Can't wait to shoot it. I'm heading over to the Oak Ridge Sportsmen's Club this evening for new member orientation. If Ruger brings out the PC Carbine in 45ACP I'll probably get that too, and lose the HP carbines. If anyone would be interested in buying, please let me know.

Experience is what you got when you didn't get what you wanted. The problem with experience as a teacher is that the test comes before the lesson.

I absolutely love this! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-brave-ones-zimbabwe-domestic-violence-survivors-trained-sharpshooters-hunt-poachers/

Check out the Ruger LC9s Pro. The pro model has no manual safety and no magazine disconnect. It has been discontinued (probably due to lawyers because of no manual safety) but was very well reviewed. Still available new on gunbroker.com for $275. I think mine is fantastic. Check out this review: https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/06/daniel-zimmerman/gun-review-ruger-lc9s-pro/

Soooooooooo, since mass shooters can acquire guns illegally, and will not abide by new rules (DUH!) -----what good will it do to make private transfers illegal, except to totally inconvenience and add large expenses for good folks buying and selling firearms?

The two rifles were acquired illegally from a neighbor/relative, and the two pistols were bought through a FFL.

Does anyone here know of ANY mass shooting where the shooter got the gun through a private gun sale, or inheritance, or gift?

Thank you, pop pop! I don't have much interest in the Memphis area per se, but would have a lot of interest in duck hunting next year along the Mississippi flyway.

I'm inclined here in TN to have a strong preference on trades to deal with CCL holders. What are you guys' preferences on qualifying buyers or sellers that you're comfortable dealing with?

Ah, thanks for that information. On the IllinoisCarry.com forum we just rated folks one at a time, on a voluntary basis, in a continuous thread, for quality as buyer or seller. The trader feedback system here seems, well, much more systematic. When I get to making trades on this forum I will have to reference the old record apparently, at least for a short time. That shouldn't be a problem. And I could add info from gunbroker and gunauction.com as well.

I resolve to really get out and enjoy Tennessee. We love it here. The people here (and on this forum) are fantastic. I need to get way more into the great outdoors. By Spring we may actually be unpacked.....fishin' time. The only things I miss about ILLannoy are a few friends (who are talking about leaving anyway) and a few great restaurants. Happy New Year to all!

I think I'd rather be waterboarded than go to that place.

Thanks, guys. That explains it.

Wow, a good neighbor and good landlord story all-in-one. There is hope!

Why "staggered or single stack?" How could it be either or both?

Took class on Saturday 12/8. DMV 12/10. Prints 12/11. License rec'd Tuesday 12/18.

Welcome! Just got here 3 months ago from Chicagoland. You beat me to it!

This was an interesting forum a couple of years ago, before my time now here in TN. I'd be interested in current and useful opinions, though I'm guessing nothing much has changed. The formula seems to be, look out for yourself, period. And actually, that makes sense. If this SHTF stuff happens, it's really gonna be ugly. And so sadly, you really want to be on the ugly side of ugly. Yikes.

Well, why not? Ordered the Ruger yesterday, picking it up tomorrow.

Don't know how long I can resist. I may lose the AR platform for this. Thinkin' aboudit.

Well, I think it's a close call, but that just might beat my Tisas ......................Wow, what a nice Heirloom! I've seen a lot of 1911's and I too might vote for that as the ultimate beauty queen, though I didn't get to hold that one like you did. But I trust you on this one. Congrats. To hold that would be an honor.

Hi Bersa, In your statement above you say, " Well, needless to say the recoil was about like a 12 guage 3 inch Mag round which I was not really expecting and it hit my shoulder fairly hard. " A 12 gauge 3 inch mag has about 5 times the recoil (in ft-lbs) vs a 30-30. On average about 53 vs 10, so I don't know where you got that from, but your story was, as always, very fun and interesting! Q
