Id like to tell people I was a huge hero in the sandbox! How I was an Airborne Ranger and my knees got bad from so many jumps. To be honest......I was a "wheeled vehicle mechanic" I never saw combat. I never fired my rifle in a combat situation. We are all the hero's of our own story! I guess I just had bad knees !!! I blame my parents! At 44, I shouldn't have to had both knees replaced! Chin up though. It will get better. Like TGO David said, best decision I ever made. Embrace the suck. All good things have a little pain to deal with. Also.....get a shower!!!!

ad closed WTB AR-15 complete or partial upper
JohnSutton1980 replied to Grampy50's topic in Firearms Classifieds
For what it’s worth. The difference in lowers is very VERY minimal. Cheap out on the lower receiver, put good quality parts in it, and spend decent money on an upper. That’s where the magic happens! My favorite “budget” build that is reliable, durable, and go to war-able is an Aero lower and a complete BCM upper. Lower receiver don’t really matter much. PSA has them at times for 40.00. -
I’m 44 and I have hade both replaced. I remember wishing it could be considered “enhanced” interrogation at times. Thinking of the pain at night still makes me want to puke!! I had the left done and then when it stopped being painful, I had the right done. No idea WTF I was thinking. Basically constant throbbing pain for near 3 months. I found it helpful to keep my brain busy. I would fall asleep with the TV on or listening to the radio. Anything to keep my brain busy. Careful be really careful on the opiate pain meds. I used them for 2 or 3 days after and then swore off and used Alieve. Didn’t want to get an addiction!! It WILL pass though. The pain will ease. Just don’t feel like it!

Long story short, I got the wrong magazines. Duramag branded 10 round magazine. 15.00 each. Or buy one at 30.00 and get the other one free. Shipping available. These are brand new stainless steel. I opened to take a picture. Seem to be well made. Duramag branded mags are pretty good. I paid nearly 65.00 for these because the larger capacity mags are tough to get right now. Thankfully my lower accepts the Glock style magazines. Cannot return to store as these were ordered as a special order.

Thoughts on 357 SIG
JohnSutton1980 replied to TNContenderShooter's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I may be in the minority. 357 Sig is my favorite round as far as handgun self defense goes. Yes it is expensive and yes it is harder to find. It will continue to get harder now that the TWRA and State Police are going or have gone away from it. Fact is the reason they are/have gone away is price alone. At least that’s what my neighbor that is a TWRA agent says. Not performance. Not reliability issues. It is a fantastic round. It is a fast round. My 2k round test drive of my Gen 3 Glock 32 has stood up wheel with no ill effects. Plus another 5-700 rounds through same gun with a Glock 23 barrel. Plus another 1K rounds with an aftermarket Glock 19 upper. Plus 3-500 rounds with an Advantage Arms 22lr upper. I have just under 1200 rounds of 357Sig tucked away with a few hundred of defensive rounds. I recently purchased a Glock 27 and immediately purchased a Glock 33 barrel. I have ran 50 or so rounds through the “subcompact” and only feel more aligned with the 357Sig round. It has grown on me and now it is my “go to” round. When I’m in public I have something chambered in 357Sig. At home I have something’s chambered in a rifle round. -
Reasons why someone should get a hand gun carry permit
JohnSutton1980 replied to icruz's topic in Handguns
I almost wish we had a system like Israel. To where every 18 year old citizen was required to do a year in military service. To receive weapons training, to learn all the tools that make someone less ignorant of arms, the way the world really works, and how to defend themselves from evil. -
Reasons why someone should get a hand gun carry permit
JohnSutton1980 replied to icruz's topic in Handguns
I wondered this after the "constitutional carry". I'm not going anywhere, I know better than to carry at a school, and I do carry at a park if there is a bunch of people there. I would risk it for my and my communities safety. Foe me, (I know I may be retarded) the only reason I see for a legit carry permit, is the training. Training is worth more than anything. I would take a guy who has trained with a brand new Hi Point before I would an idiot with a Taran Tactical (I know I have small jewels) Pit Viper. Good educational training is priceless and invaluable. -
I agree. I don’t like crowds. Anywhere at any time. Sad to see this is what is needed these days. It is what it is now. I am starting to see signs more and more about no firearms being allowed in businesses. I refuse to give up a right under our constitution to attend, shop, dine, or anything! My Doctors office in Lenoir City has one of these signs up now. In the same small city that just a few weeks ago, an idiot walks into Walmart and pops off 8-10 rounds in the air with his rifle. Thankfully no one was injured or hurt. After having a serious talk with my Dr, it seems that her insurance company required it. Although I understand why she had to install this sign, it still means that I will have a different doctors office the next time I’m in need. Do NOT sacrifice your rights for anything. Church, Dr office, or grocery store. You may be the guy/gals who stops evil from attacking your community. Heads on a swivel guys.
