  1. It was Skeeter Skelton"s favorite whiskey,a lot of old boomers like it just for that
  2. Anyone familiar with them?. I saw them pop up a couple days ago online.Pricing for their remanufactured ammo is cheaper than reloading it yourself with today’s prices,$220 a thousand.1K bullets and primers alone will run that much now,.The only dealer they listed is the Glock Store in Nashville.
  3. I used to own one of those.The manual says not to fan it,20 yr old me did and messed up the timing.I sold it at a gun show a couple years later for a $20 profit after telling the buyer it was messed up.
  4. Wish I had known this last year.I had a .44 mag Vaquero I got rid of.You probably know the 44 mag is the least produced caliber in the original Vaquero configuration.
  5. I know the Chattanooga Symphony played an annual concert on the 4th of July at the Wilder Tower in the Chickamauga Battlefield.I’m not sure if they resumed post Covid or not.

    Inherited 1911

    If it’s a Milspec they are good guns.I consider them a step above any Tisas or Rock Island on the market.
  7. Bullseye is good,Outpost is worth the visit although I and my daughter both preferred the old location.41 Hwy has 3 pawn shops that are worth a look,sometimes a gem shows up.
  8. Great carry gun.I too am thinning the herd but my 43x is staying even though I carry my 48 more now.
  9. Chattanooga placed signs prohibiting carry at Bragg Reservation on Missionary Ridge.The problem with that was Bragg Reservation is NPS land on which you can carry with a permit.

    Ruger Bearcat

    As a kid the first handguns I remember seeing in my family were a couple of Bearcats.My cousin had one and later my step dad had one too.Fast forward nearly 50 years and I found an original Super Bearcat in great shape. It only took the first trip to the range with my daughter for her to claim it.She’s going into the Air Force in September so I’ll keep it safe for her
  11. From the chatter on the various 1911 forums it’s my understanding that Springfield Armory has discontinued the Vickers Master Class.They only made 2 runs of them.It is still on their website.I handled one at GT Distributors a couple years ago and was impressed enough that I put my name on the waitlist,I was 3rd in line. No more ever came in and the one on display went into their private collection I assume because they don’t sell their display models if it’s the only one they have in the store.
  12. My initials are ET and my favorite caliber is 45 acp.
  13. Did you eat at the Smith House in Dahloniga?
  14. Yep,my range requires a NRA membership so I got the lifetime one when they dropped the price down to $300 several years ago.

    Tiger McKee

    I heard this morning that Tiger McKee has passed away.He was the owner of Shootrite Academy in Alabama.He had stopped teaching and was doing custom conversions on S&W revolvers.He was only 63 or 64.
  16. I was supposed to go to the one in Nashville in 20 with my cousin but that got canceled and my cousin died in 21 from Covid.. I wonder if they will ever schedule another in Nashville?, I highly doubt next years will be after the school shooting.
  17. Looks like a Colt Official Police hooked up with an RG in Jimmie D’s parking lot at 3 in the morning.Only Chattanooga trash knows about Jimmie D’s
  18. Wilson Combat makes a great extension tube.
  19. When I was younger I looked forward to a Road Warrior/Mad Max kind of world.Today I realize I will only last until my Celebrex runs out unless I die sooner.

    Cornbread

    That pretty much how I make cornbread,minus the salt and baking powder.My mother taught me,her grandmother taught her and her husband my great grandfather taught her because she couldn’t cook when he married her.Long story short,our family recipes are my great grandfather’s
  21. The 43x and 48 are slightly different from the Gen 5.Apex and Overwatch Precision are a couple that make an aftermarket trigger for them.
  22. Thanks for the review.In today’s market I’d gladly pay $160 for 3K primers.
  23. Apples to oranges but we were using artillery powder in the 80s that was made in the 50s.
  24. Like others there are some I regret selling buy most I have sold were because I wanted to try them and didn’t like it or I got it for a great price and knew I could flip it for a profit.I did a major sell off between 2008/2010 for financial reasons.
