  1. It looks good just not a 19 fan.it doesn’t fit my hand.
  2. I still have some Norinco .223 in an ammo can
  3. FWIW I have had great luck with the P Mags in my 17 and 34
  4. I can’t think of the business name but there is a guy in Paris named Garth that does really nice work.
  5. I honestly believe Covid affects each person different. I know 2 former college athletes still in great shape.25 and 55 yrs old it about killed them.A friend who was 55 in good shape,3 weeks in the ICU before he died.Then there are numerous overweight people I know who have several health conditions who got it and showed minimal to no symptoms.
  6. The heavy trigger and the long reset are the bane of the BHP. I’ve owned 2 over the years going back to the 80s including one with some custom work.They felt great in the hand but even with the larger thumb safety,better sights and mag safety removed on the custom one ( just like the SA35) I just didn’t like the trigger on them .
  7. I’m gutty and carry a Glock 43x in a no name eBay kydex iwb just in front of my hip,after you get used to it it’s not uncomfortable.
  8. I’m glad that I’m at the age now where my little head doesn’t out think my big head.
  9. The best gun shows are at Camp Jordan but they only have them 3 times a year there.Memorial Day,July 4th and Labor Day weekends.Ranges you have Chattanooga Rifle Club with a 2 year wait to join,Cleveland Hunting Rifle and Pistol club with a 1 year wait,Montlake and Dead Zero,not sure on their memberships.Depending on where you live any of the clubs mentioned could be a great choice or not distance wise.Gun shops of course you have GT,Carter’s,Anthony’s,but don’t sleep on the pawn shops.US Money Shops has 3 locations and Big Bucks has 2 and they have a great selection of guns.There are several good shops in Cleveland too. If you are into competitive shooting there is NRA High Power,Bullseye,IDPA,USPSA,Trap and Skeet offered at several clubs.
  10. Pre pandemic the 357 1894s were bringing more money than the 44s usually $2-$300 more. I’m seeing the 44s in nice shape going around $900 on GB last I checked.

    Gen 5 Glock 19

    Glock quietly fixed the brass to face problem without acknowledging it. I had a Gen 5 19 for a while but I have wide hands and didn’t like the flared mag well.If I get another Gen 5 it will be a full size frame.

    Glock 45

    That’s the same configuration a Colt Commander has and it was considered the ultimate carry gun for a long time
  13. I liked the old location better.No traffic and convenient to get to.Not a fan of the layout for the guns either.Its a gun store not a museum but I can see where it would cut down on groups of people hovering around the counter. I took my daughter to the range,it was nice and reasonably priced.Disappointed to hear they aren’t selling reloading supplies anymore.
  14. The 4 Kings.Hagler,Hearns,Leonard and Duran.There will never be an era like that again.RIP Champ
  15. I went to the Murfreesboro show today.Gun prices were about average,9mm and 5.56 ammo were extremely high.$1 a rd for 5.56 but the shocker was primers.$300/$340 a thousand.Powder was around $80 a lb. I stayed about an hr,too crowded for me.
  16. Me too. I have a lot that I have acquired over the years both blued and stainless.All were bought or traded for less than $15 apiece.After Wilson bought them out they go for $30 + depending on the model.That’s Wilson money and I have quite a few of them too.To the OP, I did the trade in for the EB mags last year with 5 no name mags I had.Upon receiving them I saw they were Checkmate mags,same as the mags that came with my Sig XO.They work fine
  17. I was at GT Distributors today.They are sold out of Blue Label Glocks but you can order one and they will call when it comes in.I don’t know the other Blue Label Dealers policy.GT is in Rossville,Ga but the building is on the state line,they built a room in Tn to handle those transactions.
  18. Per Glock:Honorable Discharge DD214 holders now qualify for regular Blue Label pricing at a local Blue Label supplier who is on the Glock dealer locater.Prior to this Glock only offered the Blue Label pricing between Memorial Day and Veterans Day for holders of an Honorable DD214.This is only from a Blue Label dealer and not directly from Glock.
  19. Smaller knife I presume.Last year at the checkpoint a guard noticed my Spyderco Para Military clipped to my pocket.They measured it and I had to take it back to the truck.
  20. An 8 rd single stack 45 acp from Glock would be nice.A 36x they could call it
  21. I get up to the Nashville/Murfreesboro area a couple times a month so I went this past Saturday.Gun prices were about average.Ammo....I saw 9mm 500 rds for $400,5.56 500 rds for $500.One guy had primers for $100 a 1000.Biggest shock was the 2 guys with 4-5 cases of PMC Bronze 40 S&W hollow points wanting $100 for a box of 50.
  22. They have metal detectors at the entrance now as well
  23. Pin hookers aka the low ballers.I tell them to “sh!t and step back in it”,they usually leave you alone.Camp Jordan show in Chattanooga this weekend.It’s almost midnight on Fri,I’ll be sober enough by 8:30 to be one of the first in line
  24. I shot quite a bit of WWB 9mm years ago.The only issues I had with it was 2 light strikes and a FTF at the 05 Tn Section USPSA match.Bad batch?,who knows.I switched back to 45 ACP soon after and haven’t shot any WWB since. I now reload 9mm.
