That was an interesting read. It never fails to amaze me that the Constitution - which everyone in elected gov't swears to defend & uphold - really just gets treated like any other piece of paper when those with power don't like what it says. They ignore it and violate it and someone has to get arrested & then fight thru the courts to finally get it fixed. But even then, we have SCOTUS decisions that should immediately invalidate the bad laws on our books yet they remain. They have a word for this - dictatorship. That's not comforting. @Worriedman Thanks for bringing these issues to our attention. It's depressing but important.

The worst part of the theiving is it will drive some local gun stores out of business and that's bad for all of us. As @Grayfox54 said, using cars to crash through a business is the play of the day in Memphis. Steal car/SUV, smash it into front of store, steal products, leave, repeat. Put up barricades? Great! Who's paying for that? Not much profit margin to work with & any raising of prices drives locals to online retailers in ever greater numbers. It's a death cycle for the business. Too bad we can't cheaply airtag all the guns so cops could recover them & catch the bad guys immediately. That would be somewhat of a deterrent. Claymores could help, too...(I joke! Sort of...mostly.)

Try the ATF fix. Nothing to lose really. Someone will want to buy it regardless. Anything pre-2000 in trucks is getting more desirable for their simplicity and longevity. Cost to rebuild & fix is still way cheaper than buying new.

My second boss and his wife took separate vacations. At the time he told me this I was a young adult, newly married, and thought that was crazy weird. Fast forward thirty years and I now laugh at younger me. Separate vacations are genius. Every couple needs to find what works for them and then do that. Screw what other people think or do. It's an A B relationship and other people can C their way out of it.

Quality guns. Basically the same as a Weatherby Vanguard. They've been around a long time. Well proven design. Buy with no fear. It'll probably be good to great, leaning more toward great.

So...what optic company DOES offer a lifetime warranty on the electronic components? I'm not aware of any, so whoever you go with will be "SIG"ing you in a few years, too. But I respect your complaint/rant! The Sig Sauer Electro-Optics Infinite Guarantee DOES sound like everything is covered...right up until you get to page two. That's misleading. It's called the ELECTRO-OPTICS guarantee. The title itself mentions "electro" & guarantee. Then page two tells you to get lost if the 'electro' part goes t/i/t/s up. Not cool. But...again...I think ALL optics company limit the electronic part of the warranty. Rather than trash the rangefinders, I'd disassemble them. You've got nothing to lose at this point. Maybe you find some corrosion you can clean up or a lose wire you can resolder. Or not. But worth a look since Sig already kicked you to the curb. Best time to see what goo is inside Stretch Armstrong, so to speak.

Winchester "white box" (WWB) ammo has a mixed reputation for quality & consistency. As a practice/plinking ammo, it's probably fine, but not something to trust your life to. On a related note, some steel cased ammo and some aluminum cased ammo will often choke up a gun (failures to extract/eject) so neither of those are great for 'save your life scenarios'. Since your Sig seems to run reliably on most ammo (other than WWB) I'd deem it 'good' and hang the blame on the ammo itself in this case. But if it starts to choke on other brands of brass cased ammo, I'd start investigating the pistol itself.

Looking good! Nice shooting & glad to hear the SFAR is working as intended.

I believe he said it was a face-to-face (FTF) sale in the White House area (northeast of Nashville).

I can't believe this is still for sale. Such a high quality safe for a fraction of what they cost new. Bump for a good deal that someone needs, I'm sure. Good luck with your sale. Someone in east Memphis surely must be seeing this and realizes a $400 safe could save them thousands of dollars in stolen guns...right? Bolts to the floor (concrete) so not going anywhere. And dial locks are more dependable and "foolproof" than the electronic ones. This is the "blue light" special of Easter!

Good to have another West Tennessee gun enthusiast join us. Welcome!

@Defender Praying for you to have a smooth & successful recovery.

Glad to hear you got the 'death wobble' successfully sorted. It's nice when a person closes the loop on their post so we can all learn. Safe travels!

Nice to have you posting Josh. Welcome to TNGO!

The answer is YES! Once you use the Garmin, you are done. You can't use anything but the Garmin afterward. It is just so simple, small, and easy to use. It captures the shot every time. It isn't super finicky either; get it mostly near the gun & pointed mostly downrange & it just works. For a person looking to get a chronograph on the cheap, there are lots of people selling off their LabRadar units for half price or less right now. But there is a reason for that - the Garmin is awesome. Don't use one or you'll want to buy one. That was my experience.

For those that are just casually reading this and are wondering how this unit is 'different', the Garmin chrono does not attach to the gun (like the magnetospeed units). The Garmin chrono does not go in front of the muzzle (like the oehler, caldwell ballistics, competition electronics prochrono DLX, etc.) The Garmin Xero C1 sits on the bench on a small tripod pointed downrange toward your target, behind your gun's muzzle, and uses doppler radar to measure bullet speed. It can't/won't get shot. It can't/won't affect barrel vibrations or point-of-impact (POI). It works like the LabRadar chronograph but without the "issues" (picky alignment, short battery life, missing shots and needing additional devices to be functional & reliable.) The Garmin is surprisingly small. I'd seen pictures but was still surprised when I opened the box & saw the size of it (tiny!) It isn't fooled by other guns firing on the range nearby & it captures every shot YOU fire. It's a pretty amazing device. If you have a suppressor, it still captures your velocity w/o having to buy anything extra. Muzzle break on your gun? Again, not a problem as the unit can be positioned far enough away to be protected yet still work. It can measure up to 5,000fps but still measure arrows, bb guns, shotguns, etc. Very cool & versatile. Garmin really did their homework. At $599, it is not cheap. But if the range you shoot at won't let you set up an optical chrono downrange and the bulk & finicky-ness of the LabRadar has left you holding off on getting a doppler-type unit, the answer has arrived. https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/771164

Brother-in-law drank himself to death. Rehab never worked and he went many times. He was such a nice guy, too. The alcohol just seemed to "own" him and he couldn't escape it. Very sad. He was about 58 y/o. I had heard alcohol could kill you but never saw it happen until B-I-L. Now I know it's true. I feel bad for anyone w/an addiction. It's like the devil is in control.

This Burris Eliminator IV is a rangefinding scope. Check it out: https://www.burrisoptics.com/riflescopes/eliminator-iv-laserscope-4-16x50mm Burris Eliminator IV LaserScope 4-16x50mm 4.8 out of 5 stars. "Just aim, range, and shoot. It's that simple. The new Eliminator IV features extended rangefinding capabilities out to 2,000 yards and enhanced ballistic calculator with more data and faster-aiming solutions. All this significantly increasing the distance at which you can make an ethical shot. New wireless remote laser activation of the laser rangefinder has been added to make it easy to range your target. As always there’s no need for a smartphone, app or separate handheld range finder! Prior to the hunt feed the Eliminator IV your cartridge’s ballistic info and the scope calculates perfect holdover at your exact distance, estimates wind drift, then gives you the perfect aiming solution (bright red dot) — all at the push of a button. Just aim, range and shoot. It’s that simple! Four tools in one advanced optics including: precision optics, an internal digital inclinometer, smart dope card, and built-in laser range finder."

It's a faster version of semi-semi-automatic? I have no idea how "their" minds work.

That was fast.

Congratulations to the Michigan Wolverines. They took out my Tide & Huskies. Ouch. Would love to see them play Georgia just to see how that would go. Now Nick Saban has retired. It will be interesting to see how Alabama does moving forward. Heard Dan Lanning from Oregon is the hot rumor to replace him. Time will tell.

I own two SCCY CPX-2 pistols (9mm / no safety) and both function reliably and are as accurate as most of my other 9mm guns. I'm sorry you got one that seems to work properly less than 100% of the time. @PAULSHOOT I would order a new recoil spring assembly (RSA). Failure to go into battery sounds like a weak RSA. It would be an inexpensive thing to try to see if it might sort out your gun. Maybe call SCCY, explain the shipping cost issue & ask if they'd send a new RSA for you to try in lieu of you sending the gun in. Worst they could say is "no". Here's one aftermarket option for $39.95 that might help: https://www.mcarbo.com/sccy-cpx-1-/-cpx-2-extra-power-recoil-spring-stainless-steel-captured-guide-rod-assembly.aspx

@pop pop Good point. Velocity is important.

Seems like .30 Super Carry isn't going to catch on which is a little sad, but non-expanding hollow point ammo isn't going to bolster its odds of succeeding either. You would think the manufacturers would have thoroughly tested for this. But smaller hollow points are more difficult to get to open up as less fluid can get in the tip to provide hydraulic force to expand them. Maybe a simple soft point would have worked better? Or some kind of plastic insert to help start the expansion, which the Hornady bullet has (the "flex tip" insert).

FS...who? Ha! Just jerking your chain a little @Erik88 FSU has an argument for being there...but not a quarterback.
