I got this little guy and it's works great on everything from Sig, Springfield XDs, 1911s and Glocks (at $155): Kaiser Shooting Uni-Tool Universal Front and Rear Pistol Sight Installation Tool - MidwayUSA used your idea and it works good, I like a brass hammer on brass punches though.

Glad to see she's coming together. If your slide was cut for a Colt extreme duty sights you would already have sights on her. I've been sitting on the set I've got for to long. I like the grips though, I can't wait to see it complete.

Aside from the coach gun and the revolvers pictured from left to right is a Puma 92 in .454 casull/.45 lc, next lever is a Ithica M49 in .22lr and last is a Rossi Ranch Hand in .45 lc. I love shooting revolvers and lever actions. The Ranch Hand shoots a little high but is consistent, the 92 is dead on and so is the Ithica. The Ithica was my dad's first gun.

He has had tennis elbow (I think that's what it's called) and my 45lc kicks to much so he can't shoot it as long. The heritage, he can shoot all day with little problem.

I went through the SERE in NC, one thing I can say is you can't war-game it. I had friends go through the course before and after me and each class had it's differences. I second Mr.Brooks, get some comfortable boots. Take what they teach you and remember it, there won't be a time where you won't be "playing the game" so to speak. Good luck with it.

I just got one for my dad since he has elbow problems and had difficulties shooting my other SA revolvers. We went to the range last night and he loves it, good shooting little pistol and well worth the 165$ I paid for it.

Check the price of the calibers you're looking at. That would be my biggest piece of advice. I have 2 .22lr SA revolvers, cheaper than dirt to shoot...obviously. A .30 cal carbine SA revolver, only shoots brass cased ammo and hard to find. Also a .45lc, great gun and I get my ammo from the TN cartridge company for .46 cents a round. I like the .357 but I only have it in a double action, along with a .38...again double action. If you want some real powder behind your round, I have a .454 casull in double action that is a real noise maker...ammo is expensive and hard to find. Just price how much it will cost you a year to shoot. My revolvers range from Rugers to Uberti to Rossi to Heritage to FIE and I would gladly buy Ruger and Uberti over and over again.

I've ran the magpul miad on my ARs for a couple years now, I love the bowed trigger guard and the adjustable grip.

By far the most fun, Rossi Ranch Hand in .45LC By far my best shooter, Sig P226 in 9mm (minus the extra slide and 1 mag, those are gone.) I couldn't decide so you all get 2

Well all baked goods aside, the guys at D&T Arms are great guys. Great conversation and very knowledgable. Any of the guys there can be of help, and despite the promise I made to my wife (the promise was that I wouldn't buy any more guns this year) they always have something I'm tempted to break that promise for.

Well I've never indulged in a cup of coffee, but you had cake and were keeping it from me. You should know I have a fat man inside of me who needs food too.

I just looked that one up, it's about 90 miles away. If I didn't have other things to today I would head down there, but I have meetings I have to hit.

Well looks like guns and leather it is. Maybe if I wasn't an hour and a half from CHMR I would become a member, gas is just too damned expensive.

So I have tomorrow off of work. Im looking to go shooting, early is better. From the look on the Montgomery county shooting complex calander it looks like they won't be open. I haven't seen anything lately from the TN custom gunsmithing range, that and his hours were shotty at best when I knew he was open. I looking for a good 50-100 yard (meter) range to shoot some AR15s and 10/22s, and a 25 yard (meter) range to shoot some revolvers and shotguns. I'm willing to drive about an hour and a half for an outdoor range, I'll be coming from the south side of Clarksville. So my question to the forum, where can I go shooting at, where I don't need to be a member and can get some good quality shooting in? Does anyone knows if owl hollow allows walk ons, I've only been there for the tgo shoots last year? Help is appreciated, I really don't want to be bored tomorrow because my wife will talk me into painting the stairwells in the house, and I really don't want to do that.

How long is the training after the selection? I already fell for that trick once, I won't be fooled again.

Another one...how long is this one going to be?

I'd be interested in joining the Clarksville chapter. Where do I sign up at?

thinking of trading off my 1911 for.....talk me out of it or into it

Ha I've got my stoeger coach and a sig p226 next to my side of the bed and my wife has her p6 and a mossberg 500 with double pistol grips on her side...both pistols are 9s and the shotguns are 12s. -

I second Motasyco. Guess bad wording on my part. The guns I get that I thought I wanted end up with my dad. I don't sell them to him, they just end up with him. I still don't like the plastic guns. Good choice on the idea of keeping it, my dad currently has the v-10 in his collection. I'll have to see if he would rather have an xd instead so I can get it back and he won't be without his bedside gun. -

I say stick with the metal gun, that's only because I have a v-10 and an xd-45. I would gladly trade the plastic gun in on a metal gun. It's my only plastic gun that I own, but I shoot Glocks at work (and I don't like those either). I love my revolvers and I love the metal semi auto pistols I have too (2x Sigs, beretta, springfield and ruger). Personal choice I guess, I do like the round capacity of the xd-45 but outside that I usually don't shoot it much in comparison to my others. -
I find the knife interesting, but I'm a little uncertain as to the purpose of this knife. It was designed for a reason, but I don't think the human body will split like a watermelon (the video I watched was the knife splitting the watermelon). I'd like to see what it would do against a dead pig or something equivalent.

Nills are wood grips that are textured like a non aggressive stippling and are wider that factory sig grips. I've got them on my p226 and if my iPad would cooperate with me I would insert a picture but I'm still trying to figure this thing out.
