Patton

I fondled one at GT's and I am considering one now. I have to say though, the trigger was the best I have ever felt on a Glock. The cut out in the bottom actually didn't bother me as much as it does on a Gen2; weird I know. The slide finish may actually be as great as it once was, but only time will tell for sure. The improved night sight I could definitely live with. I could tell the gun was wider in the flared magwell and the because of the ambi slide release. I am curious how many holsters the gen5 will not fit because of the thickness of the ambi slide release.

Wow, those were bringing $700 a year ago. I wished I had the dough.

We had a woman show up and plead guilty which was only a $50 ticket. She stumped the courts and the attorneys when she said she wasn't going to pay it. There was nothing, not a thing, that the courts could do. They weren't going to sue her for the money. They were hoping the accused would either pay or not show up. Pleading and guilty and not paying was something they never could figure out.

So here is my experience with speed cameras. I worked for a small town outside of Chattanooga that had a representative come to us and give us the spill on how their company worked. They supplied the camera which was on a 4x8 trailer and they gave us the training on how to use it. Officers set up the trailer and watched the trailer and traffic throughout the day. We, POST Certified Officers, reviewed the offenses at the end of the day, and dropped the disk in the mail that went to St. Louis. The company mailed the violation notices back to the officer who then signed them and mailed them directly to the offender. The violation gave the offense, time, date, and two photos of the vehicle committing the offense. You also got a link to watch the violation on camera. There were some various directions on options to take such as paying, calling, or appearing in court on xx-xx-xx. On xx-xx-xxxx date the accused could appear and state their case. A failure to appear resulted in a registered letter with a new court date. On that court date if they didn't show the registered owner would get a license revocation sent to TN DOS. We occasionally got people who would stop in complaining that they never new of the offense and asked for help getting their license reinstated. People didn't get their license suspended for not paying but for failure to appear. I don't know how other places do it. I know the City of Chattanooga actually has officers in the vehicle with the camera. I don't know if a private party is involved at all.

I have this same rifle, and I must say that it is ten times more accurate than I am. It is capable of cloverleaf accuracy at 100 yards. I am curious how the 100 grain bullets shoot. Everything I read indicates that 95 or 90 grain bullets should be the max with that rate of twist.

The 36-1 is an awesome version. The square butt is actually preferred by many over the round butt because this is heavy barrel version. The square butt just balances better in this configuration. Pre-election I went to $500 on Gunbroker before I was outbid on one just like that. I ended up with a 3" 60 instead. Someone will be getting a fine piece at a great price. All 3" revolvers are the craze now.

Those three would bring so much more on Gunbroker.

The p229 and p226 handle the 40s&w catridge wonderfully. Otherwise welcome to one of my biggest gripes about Sig; they have too many different variations. Unless that gun is prestine, I don't think $600 w/crimson trace is that smoking hot of a deal. There are tons of p229 40's out there below $500, but you do have to know what you are buying.

Where did you have to go to find those?

Maybe a single action Arminius. Good luck finding one in a store local; they haven't been made in probably 30 years. You may find one on Gunbroker though. They are normally good shooting guns.

Well, most people try to stay away from the first few years, but 1992 is about the time they started working out the bugs. An 8" that has been shot but has the box should be around 1500-1600 I would say.

I don't follow them religiously, but they are bringing about what the Pythons are if not less. A lot depends on the finish,the condition, and the barrel length. The 44 mag is the most common caliber Anacanda. The 6" and 8" is about the most common length so a 4" may bring a little more. A somewhat rough shooter grade should still bring close to a grand, but only if it is tight. They were not as well built as Rugers or Smiths. I couldn't imagine an unfired NIB, even a 4", bringing more than $2200 unless it is one of the rare models like the Kodiak. A high shine version is out there and worth about 10% more than a standard stainless version. I am not an expert though.

I had a Shield in .40 and it was a very mild little shooter. I had a Sig 239 in 40 that was also an impressive handling gun.

Yes, they stopped with the test fired cartridge about two to three years ago.

Yeah, I have heard that too. I work for a state agency that often adopts policies and practices of the TBI, but apparently we are sticking with the 23's for now.
