  1. Since it would NEVER happen here, this is an errant thought. If antifa wins, we end up with a strong central .gov (which is suprisingly similar to socialism, fascism, et al) which marginlizes the individual for the state. Nazism substitutes the race over the state and certainly adds genocide to their ideology. I'm not finding any strong central governments through history with benevolent overlords. Safe to assume an antifa led government will not be friendly to dissent? Cool part, Lenin did it, Stalin did it. the loose cannon agitators and front line organizers who believe in the Cause, what happened to them when they disagreed with the direction of the strong central government they installed? Who else supports the utopian ideal of antifa and the first targets of a strong central government? The intelligensia, free press and educators. But since that would NEVER happen in the good old US of A, why this is just fear mongering, conspiracy theory, tin foil hat wearing divisive hate filled rhetoric.
  2. Fellas, I wear a sport coat or suit ( with no tie) daily. It makes a difference. I am well groomed, meaning I shave, everyday. Best line from Mating Cruz's Polar Star, the follow up to Gorky Park, "a man who has shaved it ready to go anywhere." When I sported facial hair, I trimmed and shaved daily. My clothes fit and my shoes are polished. Put a slob in a $500+ suit, he's still a slob. Take a $150 off the rack suit with $40 of proper tailoring and the gentleman paying attention to the details, that guy can escort any lady on any red carpet. Details also include holding the door, assisting entering / exiting an automobile, extending your arm when walking, rising from your seat when she leaves / returns to the table...I would suggest doing these things ALL the time, not just on special occasions. Same rules applies when comparing the guys who wear khaki, jeans or coveralls to work. I did not polish my work shoes when in the restaurant or tile business.
  3. I didn't even click, first post with a link (to Estonia?)
  4. What are these guns of which you speak? The .gov keeps records of legal gun sales by state, Google it. As Grayfox posted, why ask? I understand curiosity, but as my peers suspect this is a trolling mission, is your intention to create and / or reinforce a narrative or stereotype of "East Tennessee rednecks tucked away in the land that time forgot." If your intent is to learn that the 2A is an INDIVIDUAL right, how to safely and with great fun operate firearms, and gain some (contentious at times) common sense, please participate with an open mind and thick skin.

    Glock Gen5.

    I like it and I'm not a Glock guy. Mrs GtG has a G3 17 on the nightstand, I don't shoot it, so there you have it. The lack of finger grooves is a plus, fits all hands. csaxj3 remarked on the reduced grip radius of the G4, if carried forward, I'm curious to handle one. The rounding / softening beveling of the leading edges is popular (and not a bad idea) for conceal carried handguns. I've got a .380 and 3" .357 with similar treatment, seen zillions of 1911s as well, why not a Glock? The only pistol I have with extra slide serrations is a CZ P01. Never used the forward set in any type of dry or hot training. I do use them to better manipulate unloading a round from the chamber after removing the mag...rotate pistol anywhere from 90 to 180 degree to a mag up position, grasp forward serrations with thumb and pointer finger. Palm of your hand should be mostly centered under ejection port, rack slide, live round drops into your hand. Do you think the CZ P10c encouraged Glock to make a few changes? While toted as the G-Lock Killer, that is a completely ridiculous statement - CZ doesn't have the scale and infrastructure to compete on the MIL/LEO/retail market. They can however put out a great mid size polymer (not me - the internet) at a competitive price point and chip away a percent at a time. I have to admit that I am baffled over CZ pricing. Is it that much cheaper to manufacture steel, alloy and plastic guns and import from Czechoslovakia than strictly plastic guns from Austria?
  6. Well done!
  7. http://cz-usa.com/links/aftermarket-accessories/ Excellent resource; links from CZ-USA to reputable 3rd party vendors and suppliers. I have used both CZC and CGW for full service, I believe many of our members have DIY'ed using their parts.
  8. Could explain all the foreshadowing around the 3 headed dragon. Good thing the dead carry around 5 tons of linked chain.
  9. No spoilers, but I did not anticipate the Night King getting a new toy...
  10. The eclipse hates black Americans http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/20/the-eclipse-is-racist-because-it-fails-to-affect-enough-black-people-the-atlantic-suggests/ And the article https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/08/american-totality-eclipse-race/537318/#article-comments As stated by TDC, this is not satire
  11. A CEO with a seven figure salary is outrageous. A kid dropping 5.8 Mil on a ranch is cool.
  12. You are in the right place! We have many members with less than full mobility on the forum. Post your questions and they will help you out.
  13. I am completely satisfied with the work CGW performed on my 75B Omega.
  14. As we reduced debt, our charitable giving increased and we still had extra to attack new debt and fund retirement.
  15. Found this gem, maybe I have too much time. Caution: Foul Language, Gratuitous Violence and Adult Content
  16. Leaked alternate storyline
  17. My SN is 030xxx, not even as low as the one Riz posted. KM, thanks for the link, where I found the CPA SNs start at 001000 and end around 039xxx.
  18. I just acquired a FI Industries Model D .380 Doing some research, I read the following from experts on the web: This was the predecessor of the pony. Introduced as a joint venture with multi companies (including Star) to assemble. Colt needed a partner as they were then emerging from bankruptcy. Some were great, other horrendous, regardless of who put it together. My particular specimen is roll marked FI IND WASH DC / FI MOD D CAL .380 I don't see any import marks so I really hope it was assembled and sold from DC. It might have been the last one to escape. S/N begins with CPA, which supposedly denotes Colt Patented or Pony Automatic. No firing pin block with very positive thumb safety Full length guide rod and barrel bushing set up which is kind of cool. For size comparison, is it virtually identical to the Kimber Micro .380 Slightly heavier. The sights are usable thought the adjustable rear sight was cute sales gimmick. If anyone know more about this little pistol, please post!
  19. Please accept my virtual welcome to the Volunteer State! Info abounds here, just need to ask. I also think this is the best gun forum on the 'net.
  20. No one has qualified for a free cruise? 3 last week. I too am on the lam from the IRS, my agent who left the message did not have an American accent. 75% of all data breach / identity theft situations are from social engineering. Phishing via phone text, email Don't click on that link, button, email unless you are sure of the sender!
  21. If anyone spots a Swiss K31 let me know
  22. Just found these guys... http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Sort=13&IncludeSellers=2621012&PageSize=25 I'm watching a few of their CZ 83s (and a MKIII HP) I think they bought all the used steel 9mm Smiths, they got a bunch.
  23. Plank tile can have a slight bow, laying off set 1/3 or 1/4 "hides" it. Also decide if you want a consistent brick pattern or random pattern. Setting 1000 sf of residential tile with odd cuts, assume 1 day of prep, set 100-300 sf max per day, grout following day, clean 4th day. With full access. Thats 2 weeks or so. This is THE tile forum. I was member when I was in the industry. http://www.johnbridge.com/vbulletin/index.php Keep this in mind for tile work: Fast + cheap won't be good Fast + good won't be cheap Good + cheap won't be fast Good hunting, good tile men are as scarce as Buffalo
  24. The good tile men / companies are booked for 6+ months, prices for proper tile installation should start at $3 / sf, straight lay, no pattern, have 5% - 15% extra tile, and wood plank tile should be set on 1/3 break or less. I ran a large tile company at one time, I'm not setting my own tile.
