Please expand on this. I don't do red dots because the battery in my iron sights hasn't died yet. So I don't fully understand all of the lingo. But my understanding is that there isn't a dot on the market right now that won't work on a SS pistol. Seems to me that the SS system of low and direct is always going to be better than lowish but you need a special plate that also costs you more money. Maybe Walther could include a coupon in the box with each new pistol for one free plate that would at least make it a little more sensible.

To be clear, this a Shield, right? I didn't think they made EZ versions of the regular M&P line. If so, I've seen a lot of the Shield EZs (380) in my classes. They seem to be okay for what they are. They are definitely easier to teach people how to load a mag. My issue that I don't think they are intended to be the workhorses that most people would like. I expect that they will have a limited life in comparison to their regular shield siblings. Of course only time will bear that out.

Ive been using TurboTax since you had to buy it yearly on a disc.

This isn’t about what happens in your home. You don’t need a permit for your home.

I’ll give it a go.

I don’t think I could see the dot.

Well the Glock is complete. And I test fired it today. I can’t say that it was flawless. I had a malfunction of some sort on the last round. I do not know whether it was a failure to eject or a stovepipe because I couldn’t see it. (See my latest post in the Iowa blind people permits thread for why I can’t see). I’m pretty happy with this for a first test. The concept is proven so now I’ll go ahead and order my own slide and give the borrowed slide back. This will be fun to experiment with. And I already have plans to print a 19.

Love Massie.

After our my permit class today I asked a couple of fellow instructors to stay with me and supervise me shooting the TN qual without corrective lenses. This was done on a closed range with two very experienced instructors behind me in case anything went awry. legally, a person is considered blind if their corrected vision is 20/200 or worse, or they have a field of view narrower than 20 degrees. For those that don’t know, 20/200 means that something that is 20 feet away looks the same to you, as something 200 feet away looks to a person with 20/20. 20/200 also equates to around a -2.50 prescription. While my vision corrects to 20/15 or so, my uncorrected vision is around 20/300 or worse. My prescription is -5.00 but the math isn’t simple so that being twice -2.50 doesn’t make it 20/400. I hope all of that makes sense. Now the target. This is the normal TN HCP qualification shot on a B-27 with 20 rounds at 3 yards, 20 at 5 yards and 10 rounds at 7 yards. Now for my experience shooting this. At 3 yards, the target is solid enough, it’s not a concern. My big issue is that my sights aren’t large enough to be able to focus on. My carry gun has ameriglo bolds on it and I love these sights. The yellow front is still visible without my contacts. But I can’t focus on the front. I can’t line up the top of the sights and I’m honestly just guessing at where the dot is in relation to the notch. I wish I could show y’all a picture of what I see. After I started thinking about it I really don’t know how much of this was me trying to aim and how much was me naturally point shooting. Someone starting out wouldn’t be able to point shoot unless they had some drills that I can’t imagine.

I'd like to be able to be on the debate floor for this bill. Hoping one of our allies brings all of this up at some point.

The answer is, they shouldn't. But then again, active duty law enforcement shouldn't be able to carry anywhere that the rest of the citizenry can't either.

You've seen a lot of the Memphians in here refer to Tops. Tops is a fast food chain. And like I said, the place is terrible.

Samuel Johnson's 1756 dictionary gave the following definitions: "To Barbecue – a term for dressing a whole hog" (attestation to Pope) "Barbecue – a hog dressed whole"

Been praying for you for years.

To be legally blind, your vision must be 20/200 or worse after correction, or have less than a 20 degree field of view. As someone that has vision worse than 20/200 when I'm not wearing my corrective lenses, I feel confident in saying that while I couldn't drive safely, I could confidently defend my life at the distance that most self defense scenarios play out. That being said, I would be willing to hang a target and shoot the TN qual without my contacts in, just to see. And that doesn't even consider the field of view people. They might actually have a better chance, but a higher probability of an innocent running into the field of fire.

I've inspected a handful of PSA assembled uppers lately and most of them have had some type of issue. Most common has been headspace too short for 5.56 chambers. But I've also had some that the barrel is not dimpled for the gas block and the gas block alignment is way off. Im not saying that they are all bad, just inspect your PSA stuff, especially if it comes from their budget lines.

One and Only was okay when I tried it but not great. Baby Jacks is great. I don't even need sauce with their meat. I love Baby Jacks! I haven't tried WH but I've been meaning to.

That's surprising about Cupboard. I never suffer to have enough food and their prices are cheap. Tops is garbage though so I'm not surprised you weren't blown away.

The TSA actively fought against us getting automatic knives in the state too. They testified that a switchblade made the same sound as a pump shotgun being racked and was just as dangerous.

BRISKET IS NOT BBQ!!!! The Cupboard is good. It is in no way convenient for me and I despise heading in that direction but I try to get down there a few times a year. It's worth it.

TN receives about 40 percent of it's general revenue from the federal government. If you think that the folks in Nashville are willing to give up 40 percent of the state's income over gun legislation, I think you don't understand politics. What are WE supposed to do? WE are supposed to handle this at the polls. And if that doesn't work, then WE go to war. But dreaming that the state might, well that's just dreaming.

I want that!

That’s cool. It won’t happen again.

You should verify all of your gauges are to spec. And then they should be periodically checked with use. Trust, but verify! Magpul's Bevblock is a good little tool. I have one as well. But for high torque work, it does not come close to locking all of the parts together the way that the MURR does. The MURR also provides a lot more surface area of contact in addition to four positions. In the case of a stubborn barrel nut, Bev blocks have been known to break receivers. Unfortunately no one tool does everything and the more jobs we give a tool, the worse it does them all. I'm a proponent of having ALL the tools so I say get them all!

That makes more sense. I was hoping you found a secret that you were going to share with us all!
