I am looking for a hotel near Mckenzie, TN if anyone has a recommendation. Something twenty minutes away would be fine. Also, I would like dining recommendations. 

I wouldn't mind having a 45c myself. It is probably the most ergonomical double stack 45acp on the market. As previously mentioned, every trigger is different.

I have seen a few Saharas with a Dana 35 and about 50% of Sports came with a Dana44. Both of mine that I had did.

They will be allowed in,but they will not be allowed at the counter. If you hit all five moonshine establishments in a short period you can get toasted.

Is that what you guys do? Now that I think about it, I have no clue why we couldn't have. Ok, I asked, we could have taken it to the US Attorney's Office but not our District Attorney's Office. Federal crime requires a federal prosecutor. Is it not that way up your direction?

There is nothing wrong with waiting until the time is right. Wranglers are a blast and pretty darn good vehicles; I highly recommend them. Unfortunately, they bring rediculous prices. I have been assisting a good friend with selecting a wrangler. Late model TJ's are selling for the same price they were 10 years ago. I think that they are in higher demand than ever without enough to go around. I have already chimed in with the engine and transmission thoughts, but without a doubt the Dana 44 rear axle is the preferred axle. I wouldn't pass up an otherwise perfect wrangler that had a Dana 35. In fact, I have broken a Dana 44, but never a Dana 35. Just know that the Dana44 is stronger but not bulletproof. The popular thing is to find a junkyard Ford 8.8 from an explorer to drop in to replace the Dana 35 or 44.

I have never seen it be a problem even when we contacted the ATF to pursue charges on someone being in a home with someone else's firearm.

I have had several Wranglers. With the TJ's there isn't too much to worry with except for severe frame rust. I have seen beautiful Wranglers without much of a frame left. The 4.0 is a pretty good engine, and the 2.5 isn't bad but it is a slug. I would stay away from the later model 2.4 liter engine. I would probably pass on the 02 and later 4spd auto, but that is subjective. The 3spd auto used up until 02 is a great transmission. All of the manual transmissions are decent. If you can find and afford a Rubicon buy it! I don't know why they ever put the 3.07 gears under the 4.0's. The 3.73 gears were an option, but pretty much a must in my opinion. I can't stress enough about checking for frame rust.

I have never seen any test where the reversed wad cutters performed worth a darn. I have a good stock pile of 135 gr Gold Dots now though.

I snapped this at Cabelas outside Chattanooga. I found several boxes of 32 SW long and H&R at Gander Mtn and The Red Bank Army store.

Who went away from .357 Sig besides NC Highway Patrol? Texas DPS changed their minds and stuck with them. I can't think of a single agency in TN that has went away fom it. It seems like there is twice as many departments using it in TN as there was just 5 years ago. Also, since someone mentioned federal agencies, the only ones I know of with .357 Sig are investigators with the Social Security Adminstartion, the USSS, and FAM. I am thinking US Postal Inspectors may have them as well. All of them are Sigs also.

Something else, not all .355 bullets will work. You have to find some that have a high enough shoulder for tension. I really haven't shot that many guns in .357 Sig but I was impressed by the ones that I have shot. I didn't find the recoil in the Glock 32 any different than a 19 or 23.

It has a strong following with law enforcement in TN and is still gaining popularity. Honestly, it is slightly more difficult than 9/40/45 to reload. Bullet setback and achieving proper neck tension is the issue. Reviews are mixed in general. Some say the recoil is like 40 and some say it is more like a .45. Some friends of mine with some federal agencies say when it came down to all the service calibers people shot higher scores with .357 over even 9mm. As you apparently know, you are not stuck with keeping a .357 Sig gun in just that caliber.

I only make it into SMKW about once every six months so I can't comment on the availability there, but GT's hardly ever gets trade in 9mm Glocks. There was not a single one there at GT's 30 minutes ago; more in the 40 variety than you could imagine. I do see some 9mm on Aim Surplus occasionally, but the are closer to $400 than $300.

Yes, buy it now. Police trade in Glocks in 9mm are pretty rare because 40/357/45 have been used primarily over the last two decades. Those that have continued to use 9mm often have them destroyed at the end of their life.

I either shoot mine left or it is the gun. I have shot it left handed just as much as I have right handed and still noticed it.

That is probably the biggest persuasion for me to own one besides the .327 filling a nice gap between 38 and 357. I just keep losing confidence in many of the 38spl loads with all of the failures to expand I see.

The newer, MIM extractors are not as reliable at producing years of positive extraction. Older forged extractors are highly sought after to help cure weak brass extraction causing brass to face.

I have almost 10 years worth of combined federal service. Colt is the only company I have ever seen that doesn't stick it to the government. Under the old federal contract Colt AR's were less than $800.

Yes, and even 32acp if you are willing to accept a few weak primer strikes.

For $299 why would someone even bother

I think 4p.m. Bring your mags and everything for the gun so they can go over everything.[/quote] GT's in Rossville will put the same Glock night sights on for the same price.

Trust me on this and do not let them replace your extractor unless they can show you that it is chipped and broken.

There are a few other news reports that he is in the National Guard.

I have a close friend that tells me the .327 in the S&W 632 feels about like a warm 38spl. The .327 is his grandfather's but he has some 38 j frames so I believe he can give an accurate assessment. I imagine with the LCRs it may be like shooting the 9mm version.
