  1. Anyone know of a gun smith in the Dickson area? I used a guy years ago the sportsman store put me in contact with but can’t find his number. I keep meaning to go to the sportman store and ask but we have been crazy busy recently.
  2. Many Lynard Skynard and Hank concerts there in high school and few years after

    Taurus 605

    I just got a Taurus 605 i inherited from my grandfather. I was giving a wipe down and noticed the cylinder dosent turn every time the trigger is pulled. I am not even sure he shot this gun. I emailed Taurus customer support about it. Has anyone ever had any dealings with them? Just wondering what kind of response I will get.
  4. I am looking to possibly pick up one of there carry models soon. I have handled a couple seem well made just watching for a sale.
  5. 4 barrel carburetors. And how fix a stuck float. Don’t forget points ignition and the match book trick.

    Snow

    My dad did the same this morning broke his hip.
  7. I ordered a set from gun grip.com last night see how they work. I debated on VZ for price they were worth a try. I also think I need a Tissia commander in my life probably Christmas time.

    1911 grips

    https://www.guuungrips.com/collections/g10-1911-grips-full-size Anyone familiar with these grips? I want to change the ones on my Rock Island and found some that I like here. Price seems reasonable.
  9. Well I shot today first time since losing my finger. Tryed my rough rider 22 my shield plus and my 1911. I was able to hold them all just fine but was shooting 6-8 inches low with all of them. Just have to re learn how to do a steady grip I could see myself moving around in the sights. To top it off my rock island 1911 factory mag ( KCI) came apart inside the gun. Required a block of wood and a mallet to get the slide stop to move and inbind the gun. I inserted the mag and ran the slide and it stayed in the slide lock position. Kimber mag did fine.
  10. I have a 10.5 300 blackout upper. Bear creek barrel free floated hand guard PSA BCG. Has less than 50 rounds through it.
  11. I was looking at possibly doing something similar to that as well. May end up doing that rather than buying something

    Rifle rods

    Anyone using rifle rods on their safe? Trying to tidy up my safe and my ARs are just leaning against the sides. They are to short to reach the rack with the rest of the long guns.
  13. Anyone headed to the Dickson show wondering if it worth going to this weekend
  14. Dr is going to shorten the finger some more as soon as insurance approves it. The knuckle is no longer movable and the it get in the way of trying to do anything including my work. The way the finger is now I can’t use a 2 handed holding the finger hit the trigger guard. I can shoot left hand if I have to but not very well.
  15. Staying positive about it is what it is can get mad about it or deal with it. Safety is my big thing I can’t stand to see unsafe gun handling (sure we all have) I also like to work on old cars so hand strength affects that to. I will get there may take longer than I like.
  16. The dr gave me some exercises to do in order to work the tendons back into shape mostly stretching my fingers out and trying to make a fist. The amputation is right at the first knuckle. He told me if I don’t get the movement back he may need to shorten the finger some more so it’s not in the way.
  17. Supposed to be in physical therapy but right now it’s in dispute on who is pay for. I have thought about a grip exerciser or a stress ball need to pick up one next time at Walmart or academy.
  18. Any of you guys ever lost a finger and had to learn how to grip a pistol again? I got a nasty infection in my tindon duct in my middle finger on my right hand (shooting hand). Three surgeries later I ended up having part of it amputated and a bunch of work done on my right palm. It will be a while before I can shoot I am only 5 weeks out still have to build movement and hand strength back up. I tried to grip my shield the other day didn’t go so well. I can’t completely close my hand yet. Just wondering how long it will take to over come this and what I will have to relearn.
  19. Would you possibly be interested in a 300blk? Upper

    First

    Single shot 410 I believe it’s a Brazil made it’s an off brand can’t remember who made it. Still have need to shoot it by good luck getting 410 shells right now.
  21. No way I would carry FMJ either. Was just looking for something that seems to work in most 1911s as a place to start especially since we seem to still be limited on ammo options for SD. I still need to put 100-150 rounds through it before I put into my carry rotation.
  22. One more question for the the guys with RIA SF. Is there a good Self defense round for these that seems to feed reliable in them? Just trying not to spend $100 on testing hollow points. My lgs had some sig V crown but I haven’t bought any yet they also had some Remington black belt I may have some old hydra shock somewhere around the house as well.
  23. While I was putting it back together I launched the barrel plug in the air it bounced off everything in the shop and my 4 year old shadow ran upstairs to tell moma daddy said bad words and proceeded to repeat the to her. He the. Came back and helped me find it.
