    Don't break a hip reaching for a punchline or your next mediocre Teutonic snob blaster, Bob.

     

    My hips are fine, thankyouverymuch.

    Nor are my H&K's, nor are they ever going to be, "mediocre". That criteria is reserved for the Smith autos (except for the Model 41), Rugers of all persuasions, so on & so forth. 

    Seriously, you buy a mid-tier pistol with a so-so rep, which has a thousand or more aftermarket parts made/sold to "improve" it & you're surprised & disappointed when it fails? You should immediately shop for a new Fiat car. You'll love those!   😆

  2. GFY Tactical, go ahead & get your carry permit. That allows you to be covered when carrying in other states as you travel. 

    Personally, *I* am not a fan of open carrying. It invites scrutiny I don't want to have nor seek.

    First time I pulled the trigger on one of those I got it back as far as I could and had to readjust my grip and try again.  It must have been a 20 pound pull.

     

    The 1st Gen Sigma is without a doubt THE biggest stinker S&W has EVER made. It made the Colt Double Eagle or the All-American 2000 look like $10K custom guns, IMO. Which means it's just PERFECT for TGO David!!!!!!!!!!!!   Jim Carrey Yes GIF

    Story

     

    Quote

    Meanwhile, Santa Fe’s district attorney, Mary Carmack-Altwies — who has worked as a public defender and later in a private capacity — spoke with Vanity Fair and told the publication that in her estimation following an "unofficial test" from her team, it is possible for a live round to be discharged from a firearm without the trigger being pulled.

    Quote

    "The notion that there’s sabotage — I mean, there is not one iota of evidence at this point," Carmack-Altwies added.

    Quote

    It was previously revealed that Lane Luper, one of the cameramen who walked off the job, texted unit production manager Katherine "Row" Walters days before Hutchins’ death to raise his concerns, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed Tuesday by attorneys representing Hutchins' husband and young son.

    "We’ve now had 3 accidental discharges," he told her, according to a screenshot of the message included with the lawsuit. "This is super unsafe."

    "Accidental discharge on the firearms?" she allegedly replied. "Awesome."

    I have a 4” nickel 19-4 that I tried to sell on here a year or so ago.  It was recently spoken for and is awaiting me and the buyer being able to meet.  

    May I ask if you got a bump on price for it being nickel?

    Haven't done the experiment for 10+ years so I don't know how efficent ethanol is in the latest engines but back when I did my comparison the fuel economy went down almost exactly the same percentage as the amount of alcohol in the blend, so you used more.

    This is what I've read as well. Ethanol is less efficient than pure gas, lower octane, however you want to put it. In short, it sucks. Yet the farmer's lobby keeps pressure on Congress to keep that crap going despite all evidence to the contrary.

    Al Gore can go eat a bag of dxxks for all I care. I despise that lying, two faced SOB.

    So it is good to hear some confirmation that it's less humid in East TN. 

    If you believe that, then I have a NFL team to sell you. Cheap.  😆 😆 😆

    Humidity is good for you. Keeps one's skin moist & makes a cold beer taste much, much better.  🍻

    Is that wear on the finish on the slide on the ejection port side?

    Also, does that one need the tool to take it down?

    Looks like wear in the pics but obviously I'm not the owner.

    Yes, the CCP has a small tab you push in to release the slide. Inconvenient from what we're used to but not a big deal once you do it a couple of times, IMO. Zee Germans do some weird things from time to time, IMO.

    Tennessee sure has some weird gun laws.  I’m a retired law enforcement officer with Federal LEOSA credentials.  Tennessee makes it very difficult for me to be legal under LEOSA.  Even when one asks questions, you get the run-around.  They won’t recognize my LEOSA credential issued by the feds, and insist I get a Tennessee form signed by my former agency to go to the range and validate my LEOSA right to carry. Getting a Tennessee form signed in a timely manner by an agency, even a federal one, in another state, is very very difficult.  On a positive note, though, I was able  to get a lifetime Retired Law Enforcement HCP.

    Might I ask whom "they" are that are refusing your creds? The TBI? Locals?

    I’m in SC at the moment and was looking up the Carry Laws, reciprocity, etc. In SC, if you have are an SC resident with a permit, you don’t have to have a background check when you make a firearm purchase. 

    Several states do that but obviously not all of them. I was told TN won't because one can be indicted & before their permit is suspended they can still purchase due to the bureaucratic delay. Anyone whom has been in the TN DMV can attest to that, I'm afraid. TN also doesn't want to lose the $10 TICS fee either. They make a boatload of $$$ off of that fee.

    I bought a Shield Plus in July. It has a problem with the slide stop getting stuck in the upright position

    I once had a gun that did that. Too much metal on the inside of the slide stop where the mag hits it, causing it to rise from the bullet casing instead of the mag. Chances are they loaded a single rd, closed the slide & fired it. The slide locked back & they pronounced it within specs. I can understand that if it happened like that. 

    Sometimes the folks answering the phone(s) don't know how to walk someone through the problem where everyone is on the same page. Sadly, I think that happened with you. 

    There's SO much pressure placed on the production people to shove product out the door these days that too many get away when they shouldn't. I've seen Beretta become the worst of this, sadly. Off-center barrels in the slide, all sorts of scuffs & machine tool marks on the barrels, just all sorts of issues. Beretta has denied most of those warranty claims according to their owners, which would infuriate me. Even sadder is almost all of these issues have happened since their move to TN. 

    I've learned to not to give up completely on a brand despite an issue with one gun. Now if a mfgr treated me badly (Galco!) on the fix, then that's a different story. 

    For the record, I've always thought the Shield & M&P series were cheaply made guns. This is another reason I love my H&K's. One gets what one pays for, usually.
