  1. I owned a couple USPs over the years one in 9mm and the other 45 ACP.They were accurate and I liked the DA/SA or cocked and locked option. I didn’t like the clunky feel they had.The 45 wouldn’t feed 200 gr swc reloads (I’ve had 3 Glock 30s that wouldn’t either).
  2. The only sentimental gun I have is my grandfather’s 410 dbl barrel that will go to my daughter.That being said she’s not really into guns but she will go shooting with me once in a blue moon and she loves shooting an old model Ruger Super Bearcat that I picked up at a pawn shop.She wouldn’t have clue how to load a NM Ruger because she’s never shot one.For that very reason and because I want one too I’m going to get a Colt SAA for my 60’th Birthday in 2024.I will leave her those 3 guns.The rest will be sold or traded like every other gun I’ve owned.
  3. You could put grip tape on it.Several pre cut options on the market or buy some skateboard tape and DIY.
  4. Not something I would want on my Glocks but super cool nonetheless.
  5. Basically yes.You pay up front in the regular store but go to the back room in Tn to do the 4473 and background check.This is only for handguns,you can buy a long gun in Ga.
  6. Antique stores in old small towns seems to be a trend now. I worked in Clinton back in 89 on a construction job.We fished the Clinch River a few times.
  7. The building is right on the Ga/Tn line.They built a room on the back.You go down a short hallway to it.
  8. Hilton Yam did a very informative Q&A about the Prodigy on IG.He hasn’t shot it yet but did a deep dive into the differences between it and the Staccato. The gist of it was the Staccato is almost $900 more for a reason,better parts and fitting.
  9. I got a Rack Grade Colt slide and frame in the 2nd Rd.Very pleased with it.
  10. James Yeager passed away yesterday.He had been battling ALS.
  11. I forgot to suggest the Gerber LST.I think they made them in 2 sizes.
  12. I like 1911s and Glocks equally.I bought my first 1911 in 87 and my first Glock in 90.I have around 4-5 of each at the moment.I’ve owned various DA/SAs and striker fired pistols over the years,I’ve even went down the BHP rabbit hole a couple times but I settled on the 1911 and Glock platforms as my go to pistols.
  13. Check out the MAM knives.Very similar to Opinel except most of them are liner lock and the handles are flat.Light and very sharp.
  14. I when or if this crap settles that’s not the new normal price for primers. I paid $16 for 200 SRP at the last gun show. I remember paying $12 a thousand back in the early 90s when I started reloading.
  15. No name eBay kydex IWB at 2 o’clock.I like the ease of being able to remove it quickly as my job doesn’t allow weapons in the workplace.
  16. The DL renewal used to be easy to remember,it was every 5th birthday,35,40,45,etc. I had thought about getting the lifetime carry permit but the years vs money didn’t add up. I will be doing good to get 2 more renewals.

    Moving ammo

    I went through a gun,ammo,reloading component move 2 years ago after the Easter tornado in Chattanooga,then I moved most of it back after the repairs.It was a chore.
  18. No longer in existence but don’t forget Tn’s own Ducktown Derringer company.I heard the owner became a millionaire from the sales and retired, but more likely shut down over lawsuits.
  19. I’ve owned 3 of those 1991A1s,they were all very accurate.This is a great deal especially with the Novak sights.
  20. Mass Shooting and Gun Violence are the hot new buzz words for the MSM.
  21. I’ve seen paper weights and even table tops made with old cheap handguns in acrylic resin.

    1911 guide rod

    I’ve taken the full length guide rod out of each 1911 I’ve owned that had one.Its a lot easier to take down for cleaning.You would only need a tool if you had bushing fitted to the slide/barrel,you would need a bushing wrench.I have a Springfield that has a Kart barrel and bushing that’s a little snug.
  23. Nice.I didn’t know Case was making knives with S35V
  24. I remember reading in the mid 90s or so about a range that had a Star 30M that had over 30K rds and was still going strong.I owned one,it was built like a tank.
