[45 GAP 200 GR]

If you own a 45 ACP revolver they will work in it 

[New Carry Gun - Kinda]

I have carried a G43x for almost 2 years. I’m surprised with it’s accuracy,so much in fact I figured a 48 would be even better.After I bought one I noticed no discernible reduction in recoil or increase in accuracy compared to the 43x.Both are great platforms.

I'm definitely in the minority here, but I do like that. Always was a Glock Hater until about 3 months ago when a friend sold me his 45acp glock. I took it to the range and compared it to my Springfield custom 45acp and immediately liked the Glock better, which I did not want to do...I've put lots of money and time into the Springfield to get it to where it is, but seemed I could shoot better with the Glock and it was not near as punishing to my old bones as the Springfield. Since then, I have purchased another 4-5 Glocks and a new carry for me is a Glock 10mm...I guess that's what opinions and different guns are for.

I have previously shot a few 10mm and they were quite snappy to me, but the Glock is just butter smooth and seems to work every time I pull the trigger. I am old, but sometimes I do change, LOL

The large frame Glocks were designed around the 10mm.The polymer frame absorbs a lot of the recoil making them easier to shoot than a steel frame 1911.It seems you have also discovered how accurate the .45acp Glocks are.Other than the lean years between 08-12 I have owned at least 1 Glock of one caliber or another since 1990.

[Springfield Armory trots out the new Hellcat Pro OSP handgun]

I wish Springfield would crank out more Vickers Master Classes rather than a new model every month.Speaking of Springfield I was able to fondle a SA 35 today.It had a nice matte finish and the slide to frame fit was good. I wasn’t impressed with the thumb safety.You could push it on and off with no resistance at all.On Leatham’s FB page he said Springfield was caught off guard with the popularity of the SA 35 and they are cranking them out as fast as possible.

It looks good just not a 19 fan.it doesn’t fit my hand.

[Another Covid Death...no politics...]

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.

Buds gun shop in Sevierville had one for rent at the range when I was there a couple of weeks ago. 

Handled it but did not shoot it.  Don't like indoor ranges, call me spoiled. 

 

edit:  I handled it and thought the trigger was on the heavy side.

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 .

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.

[Relocated to Chattanooga]

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.

[44 mag lever for 357 lever]

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.

Ya’ll are about to talk me into trying the 45 model. I’ve been reluctant since the shorter slide and longer grip seemed a strange combination for concealed carry. 

That’s the same configuration a Colt Commander has and it was considered the ultimate carry gun for a long time 

[Outpost Armory new location]

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.

[Upcoming Shows]

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.

I’m a Chip McCormick fan for 1911 mags.

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

Cool, Can they order for you or are you stuck to what’s in stock?

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.

[Glock Blue Label Program for DD214]

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.

We went last week.  Metal detectors at the entrance.  They didn't have any issues with my pocket knife.  

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.
