I really don’t feel a difference with an 11oz 342 compared to a 15oz 642 as long as they have the same 38spl loads. It is nice to have the 357 options. It has been a long time since I’d fired a full powered magnum in a scandium j frame, but I lived to tell the tell. I will admit though, I tend to like recoil. Does 45 win mag in a derringer interest anyone?

Butch Jones has always come across to me as the worst stereotypes if a used car salesman- lots of great talk about a flawed product that you buy at your own risk.
What he said.

I’m not sure who the team leaders are but Guarantono sure isn’t one. He again proved today that he lacks maturity with that little tantrum and the end of the game.
Well, he is a redshirt freshman, he should not be expected to be a team leader. It would be great if he was, but QB or not it’s a lot to ask. I personally don’t think Botch Jones has control of his own team. He has fed them too many of his vacuum cleaner salesman speeches and they no longer have confidence in him.

It’s not that I am a huge TN fan, but I am a huge SEC fan, todays game made it obvious to me that there are a lot of athletes on that team without any leadership. I didn’t think this until today, but TN needs to find anyway possible get some sense of direction into that team. I don’t know if it means finding a new home for Jones, or if someone can find some team building measures. I think at a minimum TN needs a new offensive coordinator; I have never seen so many missed blocks and busted plays this late into a season.

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.

Seems rough to me! Why not just put a warrant out for their arrest? Geez.
Sounds like entrapment of sorts. I know the powers that be need the money and this is a great way to get it coming in. It seems wrong to me though.
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.

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.

These are some of my scores from my travels this week. I always pick up extras in case anyone would like to purchase.
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.

The TBI special agents will be switching Glock 19 and Glock 43 as their primary and backups as of Spring 2017. I'm not positive about the time-frame for replacing the 23 and 27's issued to current special agents, but the new agents are switching to 9mm's more like the FBI.
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.

That has probably been posted on here a dozen times; and I still laugh every time I read it.

I have the feeling that thing is unpleasant to shoot.
Fortunately, it can be loaded with 45acp dies and is a handloader's cartridge. A 230 grain bullet at less than 825fps, which is basically standard pressure 45acp levels, is actually fun to shoot. I have shot exactly one full pressure factory load, and it was eye opening. This was a 260gr bullet at about 1100fps out of the three inch barrel. I did have a little bit of stinging afterwards, but I would have no problem lighting one off to get a grizzly off of me.

Most consider a 45 Win Mag a rare and unusual caliber.

I have bought the pusher before, and then resold it which meant I got about 95% of my money recouped.

Well, the 640's do come along. I had two of them and sold them both last year. I really, really wish that I would have kept one. I will not buy a 640 with a lock period! I will buy a 640 pro, which will not have an internal lock, if I ever buy another one. The only thing about a used 640 pro is that the night sights may be dim.

The long extractor is the newer version. I personally don't think it matters, but some claim the shorter extractors are superior.

It's worth visiting Buds in Sevierville, but I have much better luck finding what I want cheaper at SMKW.

Bedford county so has sig p320 in 40
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThanks, I will do the update.

I have owned and shot both. I like the Shield just a little bit better, and the fact that it is cheaper tips the scale tremendously for the Shield.

It seems like they have had H&K 45’s for close to a decade now.
