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.

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.

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.

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.

If it’s a Milspec they are good guns.I consider them a step above any Tisas or Rock Island on the market.

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.

When the state law was passed it contained a provision for cities to pass a local ban against carry in parks. In Memphis you can NOT carry in any city park even with a permit.
In my town, Bartlett, you can carry in parks except if a school function is taking place.
It varies from city to city. You need to check local laws.
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.

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

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.

I both understand and respect your feelings about the NRA. They got my money for a lifetime membership before they went off the rails. However, they are still the enemy of my enemy and that makes them my friend. For all that's wrong with them they do us more good than harm.
Yep,my range requires a NRA membership so I got the lifetime one when they dropped the price down to $300 several years ago.

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.

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.

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.

Garufa, what a kind and generous comment. I humbly thank you.
I make cornbread today, A LOT, because it does bring me enjoyment. The memory of growing up in a house in Chattanooga so cold my mother and I sat in the kitchen on winter nights using the oven to heat us before we ran as fast as we could to the back bedroom to jump under covers so heavy you thought they would smother you. But so WARM!
I made a pot of pinto beans last week and a cake of cornbread along with some turnip greens from the freezer. As my wife and I ate I told her stories of my mother and my youth, and we smiled. And I shed a few tears. There was a simplicity then that I miss today. Life was not "us against them"; didn't matter who was Democrat or Republican; we just wondered how they were doing with their burdens and prayed for them Yes, there are smiles when I think of my past and how at 67 years of age, I find great meaning.
So for Mom's recipe, here's the best I replicate:
2 cups of stone ground cornmeal - white or yellow; whatever we could get
1 tsp. of soda and baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
Buttermilk - as much as was needed to make the mix not too thin, but pourable
Bacon grease - LOTS of bacon grease; for the pan and the recipe
Mom would get the bacon grease so hot in the skillet in the oven (400 degrees) and she would add a little bit of Crisco or Hormel lard. When she opened the oven and threw a few drops of water in the skillet that it popped loudly, she would bring out the skillet with all the grease and pour it into the cornmeal batter. You knew it was enough and right when it sizzled loudly! Mom would mix it up, pour it back into the skillet and put it all back in the oven for about 45 minutes. Because the iron skillet was perfectly seasoned the cake of bread would plop out perfectly and I'd have to wait for it to cool before Mom would cut a slice and split it with butter. And from that moment, absolute heaven in your mouth.
I am shedding a tear or two as I write this. Mom died in 2017 and to recall her cornbread with all of you brings me great joy.
Thank you . . .
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

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.

Thanks for the review.In today’s market I’d gladly pay $160 for 3K primers.

Apples to oranges but we were using artillery powder in the 80s that was made in the 50s.

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.
Middle TN people, where tf can I buy some Blanton's?
