It does, at least it shoots as well I can shoot it. I had a the chance to handle a Springfield Operator, it wasn't a loaded with a full rail, but it made my RIA feel like a HiPoint. I think if I run across a Springfield Operator Loaded with a full rail I'll be thinking real hard about making my wife mad again.

RIA calls it their 2011 tactical single stack series. I think this is the link you need to get to it, they do have a double stack version also: http://www.armscorus...&id=9&Itemid=20

I get made fun of because of the workout music I listen to. It's usually a compilation of Hank Sr, Jr and III, Waylon, Willie, Jerry Reed and a little southern rock. I enjoy it, it's not the most fast paced music out there, but then again it's what I listen to all the time.

Can't go wrong with a good set of metal Troy or Yankee Hill Machine sights. I prefer the metal sights over the plastic magpul sights, to each their own.

I'm finally to the point on the outside of this 1911 where I'm done. I still have a Cylinder & Slide sear and disconnector to put in. The trigger is a nice, crisp 5.5lbs, but I'd like it better around 3.5lbs. Eventually I'd like to throw in either a Barsto or Kart barrel, this one shoots fine for now though. There are some other fitting things that will get knocked out as time passes as well.

I currently drive 50 minutes one way to work, leaving work is another story...it takes on average a hour and 20 minutes to get back to my house. I've looked into moving closer, but the traffic isn't any better no matter what part of town I live in. Try looking for a closer house that still fits all the needs your current house provides.

Sorry to disappoint. There are some things that even I would question.

Stopped by TN Gun Country and they said that where the classes are held is behind their building. Tailored Defense is not associated with TN Gun Country.

The shop on Salem Rd....is it this? http://www.tailoredd...om/indoor_range ... if so, that's new to me. ***This place is apparently associated with TN Gun Country. The address for their classes at Tailored Defense is the same at TN Gun Country.

Try your hand at hollow points. Mine damn near refused to shoot them. I accidentally bought some target hollow points at wally world and didn't realize it until I got to Guns & Leather. I should have just bought some ball ammo there, but I was already frustrated.

So I've had a certain level of frustration lately and it all stems from the color Pink...that and it's been pretty hot this weekend. Anyhow the pictures will speak for themselves and there are a couple before/after shots. Enjoy... Sig P238 Before: Sig P238 After: Ruger LC9 Talo: Glock 26: Now a little something for the guys again... AK-47 Before: AK-47 After Shots (the AK is fully functioning, the buttstock is just open to show it off): These were a bit out there, but not as bad as the highlighter green revolver. Sorry for the pictures being all over the place...photobucket has them all going the right way....don't know where the disconnect it.........EDIT AGAIN...The pictures appear to be in the correct orientation now.

I have the same pistol, I put the night sights on it and made some other alterations. It's an awesome pistol, I couldn't be happier with it and it beats the price of a Springfield Operator any day.

Yea those are the places. I haven't been to Tiny Town yet, but the guys at Golf Club seem pretty eager to help, it just took them a bit to get some guns after they opened.

quietguy, sorry, checked this just after getting the classified together. PM replied to. Chrome one is in the classifieds now.

Well it looks like I lost the battle, after enduring Opry Mills Mall, The Book Attic, Bed Bath & Beyond and REI...well REI wasn't that bad, but still that's a lot of shopping that didn't really interest me in any way. It's sad and I hate to do it, but Willis you have a PM. I'll still be enjoying the blued Python and.........shhhhh, don't tell my wife, but I may have a line on an Anaconda, I can only hope.

When I do go to the range, I let the people I hang out with know the day and time I plan on leaving. I tell them if you would like to come call before I leave. The only person who is good for the range is my Dad. I've got friends that have guns and I've never seen them shoot them in the 6+ years I've known them. I tell them to sell me their guns so they will get the appropriate attention they need. One day though, I'll get them to go shooting, maybe they are intimidated...who knows. I would just throw out the date, time and location you are going and tell them to meet you there if they are interested, I wouldn't depend on them going.

If she wants lessons on technique, I'm a pretty good teacher. I'll just tell me wife I'm giving classes. Back to guns now, I think if she was also making some 800-1000 meter shots with a nice bolt action would be even more scary to the sheeple. And she can suppress it and make some 500-600 meter shots, that'd make some people think a little.

I got a hobby that pays for my habit. I was getting firearms in trade for services as well as sinking in the cash profit into the rest. It's good to have a hobby that supports a habit, I don't drink or smoke so I have to spend my money on something, so I chose guns and bullets. ***Edit*** They feel smooth, I haven't tried to dry fire them and I don't have any snap caps for it but once I'm not working I will be shooting these. Maybe between projects this weekend I can make it across the street from the shop to squeeze off a few rounds.

Here are the markings that are unusual to me...

I already have one, it's a nickel Stoeger Coach Supreme. It's my bedside gun, my wife laid claim to my Mossberg Tactical Cruiser after I put a pistol grip in place of the foregrip. She gets "her" guns, she's got a Sig P6, Sig P226, Mossy TC, a scoped 10/22 and once I get the Springfield V10 back from my dad she has already said it's hers as well. Willis, I'll only be getting rid of one if I do...it will not happen without a lot of persuasion on her part though. I'll let you know when it does happen though. One other thing that I have, the nickel one came with a "Brian C Foster" basket weave holster. All I have found on this is he was/is a holster maker in England. Anyone know anything else about Brian C Foster holsters? I'll take pictures of all the proof marks on the blued one to see if it helps to find out what they mean.

Anyone have any ideas on the markings on the barrel frame and cylinder? I'm till at a loss on those, and I haven't seen them on any other Pythons.

I'd like to do that, but it doesn't work too well. Before her I was into fast cars and not so much firearms, I ditched the fast cars and got a truck and started collecting firearms. That and she was in the garage throwing away some stuff when I pulled up, I couldn't do too much at that point. The peace isn't broken too bad, she was just upset I didn't talk it over with her before I got them. I told her why talk it over when I know your answer...she stopped talking after that. We're going to Opry Mills Saturday to make up for what I did.

If you want to start a fight, come home unexpectedly with 2 Colt Pythons. I had promised my wife that this year wouldn't be like last year. Last year I acquired 18 guns in the 4 months I was home to get them, this year I'm up to 5 and I've been home for 2 months. I figured that isn't too bad, but apparently my wife doesn't agree. I told her some things I just can't pass up...I was told that I have to choose. I was reminded of a joke I told my wife when she was pregnant, " If you have twins, pick your favorite and we're selling the other". For now though I have 2 and I'll sit on them as long as I can since the peace has already been broken. Here are the pictures: My favorite is the blued one, the nickel plated one is a bit too flashy for me. The nickel one was made in 1981 and the blued one was made in 1980. Also the blued one has some interesting markings on it that I can't figure out what they mean or why they are there. These markings are on the barrel, frame and front of the cylinder. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it, the marking is a small crown as pictured below: For now enjoy, I know I will.

Well the only thing is, this isn't an apartment truely, it's a 5 unit town home. I have the middle unit and I don't have any issues with the old people on the other side, it's this younger couple on the one side of me. There is no apartment management that I can turn to, there is a HOA but if you've seen my previous post about them, they are as worthless as tits on a hog. It is the surround sound though, all I was hearing last night was what was coming through the woofer. The tv may be low, but if the woofer is on the wall then it's not going to do anything but echo into my living room. It's just irritating, I just wish some people would get their heads out of their a$$es, at least get their ears out so they can listen to the words coming out of my mouth.

I do all my gun work in the garage, so she's seen plenty of pistols and rifles laying around and I always keep my Super Redhawk .454 loaded with me in the house or garage. I've been here for the last 4 years, they have been here barely a year, and as much as I don't like this house I feel I was here first. I saw the noise ordinance for Clarksville, I was looking for the actual ordinance number and I was going to print it up with a note informing them that next time I come over to ask them to turn it down and nothing happens I'll get the police involved. Once my wife is done with college I'll be looking for a new house anyways, she's had her fun here, next one I won't be able to throw a rock and hit the neighbors.
