LOL. and I just saw an ad for a Tactical flashlight
-
So am I missing something, or does 'tactical' just mean 'de-cocker'? I kinda thought tactical meant a gun usually with a de-cocker, but also a threaded barrel and maybe suppressor height sights? Now I see ads for a 'tactical' model, and its a normal model with de-cocker instead of a safety.

wanted Looking for SP-01, P-01, and Beretta 92s
Tom B replied to Skyyr's topic in Firearms Classifieds
Good luck finding a P-01 with a manual safety, unless you want an Omega. The few I've seen are going for big dollars. -
Gun Rack in back window of a truck
Tom B replied to vontar's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I remember having a gun rack in my truck back in the day. But thats before we had extended cabs and double cabs and crew cabs. With 2 people (or even 3 with a bench seat) in the truck there wasnt room for much else-lol. -
My Sp-01 is as heavy as a boat anchor-lol. I dont see how that could be carried concealed comfortably.

My wife carries a Smith 8 shot 22 revolver model 317. Super light, and super simple to operate. She has a concealed carry pocketbook she uses.
-
I too am concerned my wife wouldnt be able to clear a jam. So she carries a Smith 317 8 shot 22 revolver. I know, I know folks will say its only a 22. Its almost all aluminum and weighs nothing. 3" barrel, and I put some smooth wood grips on it so it doesnt snag. But she feels comfortable carrying it. And who am I to argue with her-lol

At the end, Lee and Heather were local cops I believe. She looked like shes had lots of botox-lol -
Must watch movie/television recommendations & interesting shows
Tom B replied to Links2k's topic in General Chat
Only read the last page so dont know if it was mentioned, but i saw the 'Fall Guy' last night and it wasnt bad. At the end, Lee Majors and Heather Thomas had cameos and he looked better than her-lol -
I know this is a whole other discussion, but for a SHTF situation I dont think I'd want a semiauto. Youre screwed if you lose the mag Revolver for handgun, maybe a lever for a rifle. My opinion only.

Havent seen it mentioned, but I really like my FN 502
-
I'm not the best shot around, but I shoot a lot of guns in my backyard range. Almost always offhand. The gun that shot the best groups for me ever was a Canik TP9SFX

This is me exactly. I got on a fire dept in CT late in life at age 31, but since I had several jobs before that that I hated, having a job that I enjoyed made me happy. If you've ever had a job you hated, it affects you even when you are not at work. -

I seal driveways once in a while, just for some spending money. I can stay busier if I want, but at this point I'm picky about the ones I do. I like to ask the homeowners how they came to pick me to do the job, seeing as how others in the area do it also, and usually the answer I get is, "You showed up". -
Its a moot point since he already bought another bike-lol. Spots- I already have that gun.
-
I have learned a bit about these guns just googling. I thought the frame was polymer, but apparently its a steel frame with a polymer grip. And that is what was replaced with an aluminum one. I also learned that grip module is over $500. I'd obviously want to know who the gunsmith was, and shoot the gun before making a deal. Though it looks like the parts alone might be worth it. I'm assuming he has all the old parts also.
-
The likely scenario is that I will shoot that gun a few times, then sell it. Im hoping it will sell faster than the bike. Here is the info about the mods It has a PT Hero Aluminum Grip, Atlas perfect match ignition kit, SVI disconnector, Atlas Medium Trigger pulling at 3.0, SVI Ambi Safety, Fresh Cerakote, 2-17rnd, 1-20rnd extended, 1-18rnd Atlas TTI base.

Someone wants to trade me a customized Prodigy. I know stock they go for around $1400. This guy has all new guts, trigger,ignition system, safety etc. And some kind of aluminum 'grip', (or what I consider the frame-lol) And its cerakoated black. Not really my thing, but he says it worth $1750. The bike I'm selling is $1700 He says it was gunsmith built. Just wondering whats the consensus about his price?

I've had 4 Harleys since 2000 Every one was black 2 had a good bit of chrome But the last 2, I'm liking the blacked out look

This is kinda what I meant. Lets say a house is assessed at $50,000, and you pay $1000/yr in taxes If the assessment goes up to $100,000, it doesnt mean you will pay $2000/yr -

A tax 'assessment' going up doesnt mean that our taxes will go up. Hopefully the tax 'rate' will go down. But thats in a perfect world-lol. My house assessment just went up something like 40%. But I really dont expect the tax bill to go up that much. Though I'm sure it will go up a bit.
