Cant wait to see that shoulder rig! When I get some money freed up I am going to get a Tanker type rig or two from Tawnya.

Ask him about something and next thing you know he has gone out of his way to help and you are at a range shooting one of his guns, or he is showing you how he reloads that caliber. On your way home you are on your phone ordering all the same shit. Asshole. Mr lamrith isn't lying here brethren. He isn't even exaggerating. Madpick is a menace. Steve is THE MAN. HAH! If your idea of "THE MAN" is one that cons you into buying a 2017 Z06 Vette when you were looking for a 2016 Volt, and you thank him for it... Guy is a serious con artist and some of these Mfg/retailers should be paying him commission.....

All my Scorpion upgrade parts a d a very nice new Leather shoulder rig for my RO. Cant wait to see that shoulder rig! When I get some money freed up I am going to get a Tanker type rig or two from Tawnya. It's really well done. it basically looks like the pic she posted of the one rig she made, but the stitching and quality are even better than the pic. The RO fits the holster like a glove, though the Wilson Combat extended safety causes a problem with the thumb break strap. Not her fault, I never told her about that or I'm sure she could have added an 1/8th of an inch to it to clear. I think I can trim it a little bit, the problem is when I snap on the strap it disengages the safety as is. The included mag pouch is for the standard factory 7rd mags....thats the way the RO is sold, so that's the standard pouch configuration. Both are my fault, I didn't tell her I needed 8rd mag pouches or about the Wilson safety. It's beautifully made, just be sure and give her all the details about what you carry and mag pouches. I am very happy with it, I will just see if I can swap out a mag holder with her or just order another. Edit* Just got off the phone with her, she's a very nice lady and is fixing me up with a mag pouch that holds 8rd mags. She even offered to trim the thumb team strap for me to accommodate my Wilson extended safety. I think I can handle that part though. Bottom line is its an extremely well made rig and she was great to work with. You guys looking for a nice rig should get in contact with her.

Took out both the Walthers and the Ruger MKIII and shot a bunch today. 500 rounds of 9mm and 150 of .22. Feck'in loving having red dots on all my handguns. So much more fun seeing 3" & smaller nice round groups in the paper instead of blind guessing where the front sight is and hoping it hits the backstop.

Played with some of my new AK mags. Finally sourced a few, 3 Izh plum and 1 ((21)) in black. Function checked a plum and the 21, both work great. Just now finished up cleaning the rifle. Now I have to clean off my desk of cleaning supplies.

yesterday I sent in my first FFL renewal! It was interesting some of the questions they ask. -How many firearms have you bought in the last three years? -How many firearms have you sold in the last three years?
Then I played a fun game with the wife I call "sweetheart, guess how many guns we bought and sold over the last three years..."

Went through all the ammo my dad sent home with me. 600 rounds of .38 Special and 735 rounds of 9mm. Guess I need to start shopping, since I don't currently have a 9mm.

Played with my AK. Took the stock off. Pretty sure it`s a 4.5mm hinge. Also priced parts for a rebuild in the future.

Been there and done that a few times! It's not an excuse, it's a reason. I'd already been thinking about it after I started shooting the XDM 5.25 in 45acp. Biggest reason I went for that combination was the ability to get the .460 Rowland compensated conversion in a year or so (and then be able to shoot: 45acp, 45 Super, and 460 Rowland out of the same mag without changing barrel/springs) to replace the 454 for my hunting handgun. After shooting max 45acp loads I started wondering if I should have gotten the 9mm for target shooting/matches. Or, since the 5.25 is too big for Concealed carry, I'm thinking about possibly getting something to replace my S&W 637 or just to have something mid-sized with higher capacity. Decisions, decisions!
