Great use of Time Trace

Bryan, I will certainly do that. I have some good shooter friends up in that area. Thanks

It is a very sad day in our house today as our little Brewsky has crossed the Rainbow Bridge this morning. He gave us 14 years of joy and love and for that we are very thankful.

The Spring, North Houston area. I will have to determine which club(s) when I get there. Where abouts are you?

Jack, I am currently an office administrator for a group of financial advisors and believe me the turn in the financial market has been beyond believable. While I am not wealthy I am conservative in my spending and investments. If the case should warrant having to go back to work then I will do so but it will be under my terms. With my experience and knowledge I have a lot to offer. But it is troubling that this had to happen at this time in my life

Wife and I will be relocating to Texas to be closer to our 2 sons and 4 granddaughters. I plan to spend time in my new gun room reloading ammo, going to the range and shooting matches with my existing and new Texas shooters. I plan to have a regiment of biking and working out and enjoying every day as though it may be my last

Just turned 66 this past Sunday and as such have met my full retirement age. Drop date is 09/30/2020, but if they screw with me then 5:00 p.m. any day could be my drop day

Howdy and welcome to the forums from Alexandria. You will find lots of great information within the pages

I have always been around guns. My father instilled gun safety in my brother and I at an early age and made it a point to get us involved in hunting. As I grew older my interest in guns continued to grow and when my son came home one weekend and told my about his new hobby I was hooked. I believe in my case the biggest draw is the folks in the shooting community. I have never met one that I have not enjoyed being around.

I have been looking for shooting pants that don't have the baggy effect for quite some time. I have tried a lot of different brands and thought I had found what I was looking for with the 5.11 Taclite pants and while they were not as baggy as some they were still baggy but they were extremely comfortable. Last week with time on my hands I began looking once again for the perfect pants and in my opinion I have found them in the 5.11 ARB Pro. They are considered a regular fit and truly fit like a regular pair of pants in all areas. If you have a chance to try them on I believe you will be well satisfied,

Howdy and great to have you back

Howdy and welcome to the forum

American Eagle 124 gr available at Academy for $10.99 / box of 50. I run them as minor in my Open gun without any issues.

That is one beautiful setup. Shay and the Crew at ACG build some incredible guns, just ask me how I know

Howdy and welcome to the Forums Eli, there are a lot of great members here with plenty to share.

Make sure you watch which Allchin mount you buy I purchased one for a new Open gun build only to find I could not access the sight adjustment screws. This was for a horizontal mounted slide ride

Ron, Dawson can take any plain Trojan as far as you want to go you just have to ask for it. When I ordered my Trojan I wanted the hard chrome version but they didn’t have any so they sent one of the plain Trojans to Virgil Tripp to hard chrome for me and then built it out to my specs when it came back. Dawson is some fine folks to work with. On on the side, how are you doing?

^^^ I agree with just replacing the element. It is relatively easy to do and if you are not familiar with the process it is a good time to learn how. Best of luck

Picked up a CRP Trojan from Dawson in May of this year, job has been so hectic have not even been to the range yet but it is loaded and ready to go - Pistol/STI/Trojan/9mm/5' Bushing/Super Tuned w/Hard Chrome Finish/Includes Silver DP Ice Magwell, .160T x .100W DP Optic Front Sight, DP IDPA Length D&T Mag Catch, DP Lo Pro Mag Button, Silver DP Basepad, and DP Enhancement Package

I believe going with an STI gun is always a gamble, will they correct any issues absolutely. STI has had some ups and downs with quality control and I believe they are addressing those issues. My very first 2011 was an Edge and after I got it I poured a fair amount of money into the gun to make it mine, with all of this said to have a local builder with a stellar reputation build the custom gun and don’t look back. Best of luck

Thanks folks for the great insight
