Northern Virginia Roll Call

After the road floodee yesterday and with more rain forecast, I'll be damned if I cant get home today!
All my swifth2o gear is in the truck and boat is ready to go.
And the bat signal is ready for #randyrescue!

 

Why Rock Island?

 

Just wasn't looking to spend big bucks.
Any other suggestions?

 

I know that place now!! But damn man, that looks bad. Good luck, neighbor!

 

What is your budget?

 

Originally was trying to stay around 500, but looked at a couple offerings from colt & Rem around 700

 

Are you looking full size or 4.25 inch for carry?

 

That's the easy side! I'll get the other side tonight.

 

Full, it's only going to be OWB carry, primarily in the woods.

 

Springfield makes one that's pretty affordable

 

I just sent you a PM but I dont think thats going to work since you want full size

 

Build yourself one. Would be a lotta fun. Might still run ya a grand, never know.

Or go with the 6 shooter. I have been wanting a 1873 Cattleman for years now.

 

Did.

 

2011's are fun as well.

 

Haha. Had to laugh at that one.

 

Yeah I know what is involved. Used to reload back in the 90's. Never set my stuff back up when I moved to my current location in 2001. Between being lazy and getting issued ammo to shoot, I never got around to getting back into it and just buy what I need if it is outside what I get issued.

 

Dunno if it is still there but Virginia Arms had a Kimber TLE on their consignment shelf for $600. I almost bought it so I would have a matched set and could dual wield them.

 

I’ve had bad luck with STI, and their customer service lacked greatly

 

I walked in the my LGS to order the Tactical 5.0 when I saw this one on the consignment shelf for $800 under MSRP plus holster, several mags and mag pouches. Initially had some FTF/FTE issues. I sent it in to STI and they fixed it right up. Was very responsive and it has been flawless ever since. I wonder if I got it cheap because the first owner had problems and never sent it in for repair.

 

Afternoon all. Didya miss me? All is well, just been crazy busy, and TW was an easy place to free some time up. In any event, I got my hood struts installed last weekend, and I love them! No idea why Toyota doesn't make them standard.
