IN MY OPINION. In the old days Sig would have pulled the platform from the market. The loss would have been made up for in good will sales. These days, pulling a product would be equal to admission of guilt. The reputation of the platform is tainted and will never recover. Sig will let it die out and pull it due to poor sales while never admitting it had any issues.

Only been to DC once and didn't have time for sightseeing. We did get a demonstration by the Old Guard, Amazing. Nashville's Cemetary and Stones River are quieting. I get the same feeling from Civil War cemeteries I had when I watched my buddies pushing Iraqi's out of Kuwait.

Hey Y’all, new member from Murfreesboro

Welcome in. OK Corral in Woodbury is fine for outdoor. They have several ranges and a pit for the things you can't do on the laned ranges. -
Thanks @BigSatt.

Irony of me just seeing this yesterday is my wife told me the fire department was at her school today. Two students were drunk, one was passed out and had to be hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, She works in a middle school. I drank a lot when i was young, again when I went through my second divorce and carpal tunnel. You just have to take my word that self medication for pain with alcohol will spiral. After getting out of the service I didn't drink a drop for 12 years. Now if I want a beer or a drink I can have one or two without turning into 15. It' is very rare.

Don't mess with a man's garden! I'm surprised there wasn't a cop in McCall's parking lot. Oh wait, Dixie banned the PD after her third ticket.

WIKI says it is owned by the city and the primary tenant of the park. They are probably using the children gathering clause. A part that needs to be struck down or eliminated since we can't k ow if there is a school function in a park at any given time or day. (burden of proof)

Agreed. A New 1911 will need break in time. Try different ammo and see what it likes. Some will not like hollow points and require a competent 1911 gunsmith. I have not personally had any issues with 1911s or with the Para 14.45 I had. I have a nearly new RIA now and can't wait to get it to the range. I might change sights as it is a GI model. Once I'm confident it is running 100% I plan to put all stainless controls on her just for looks. A good 1911 usually needs nothing and most are "upgraded" because they weren't broken in. One thing leads to another until you have a money pit that never really needed anything.

Sorry about the pear tree. We have almost 2 inches here. Road was black ice this morning and probably will be again in the morning. Very few cars passed today. And I have to go to the office in Antioch in the morning. Just the thought has my butt puckered.

I've learned not to ask how stupid can people get, they take it as a challenge.

If I need a bayonet on my home defense gun I have made serious tactical errors. I do admire a good trench gun though.

I had to look that one up. I thought you had to use a six inch or longer barrel for hunting. Learned something new. If you compare ballistics between 30-30 and 357 magnum you might be surprised. I'd be comfortable with either within 50 yards with open sights. I'm a fan of 357 mag, so much so I want a Coonan.

I think I am seeing a slight change in what is being produced. A few companies have released or shown all metal versions of poly framed autos. I believe that people who have purchased what old timers consider carry a lot shoot a little pistols find their footing as shooters they will branch out. S&W, Ruger, and Taurus have released new wheel guns over the last 6 months including the single action Deputy from Taurus. I believe they have well educated marketing individuals who are trying to predict (or create) a trend towards revolvers. I only own one modern revolver at this point but there are several on my list of "wanted". Most of what I yearn for are higher end pieces so they don't get the priority of the auto loaders but the want is still there. Single shot break action shotguns haven't died so I don't see revolvers going away ever. rather than edit adding here; some of the "new" revolvers out or coming are the same designs with some little twist.

What range bag are you guys using?
papa61 replied to Thursty's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
call me cheap. I like this idea. I use a good backpack now with the plastic boxes most of my pistols came in. Amazon.com : TIDEWE Tactical Range Backpack Bag for Gun and Ammo with Pistol Case (Black) : Sports & Outdoors -
I can respect this. I think if you knew you were going to a gunfight you'd take a rifle anyway. Handguns are defensive. we could have a long conversation on the Biblical side of arming oneself.
