The other thing is their hours... 10 - 5 on Sat, and 12-5 on Sunday?!?! Hire another employee or I hope it is open to members only? The busiest days you are open limited hours.

Sig 229 Legion
Street price on the legion? the SRT trigger was nice... when I had my 226 USPSA edition, but was still not as nice as a CZ sp01 or custom shop one. I am really interested in the contoured frame though.... the one thing that ruins Sigs for many folks.

Gun For Hire is a whole different beast and well, it is in Northern NJ, close to NYC. Anthony has built up an audience and a reputation and well deserving of the price. RTSP offers a membership that actually includes all the time. TTC offers a membership.... that does not actually give you free range time, but rather a discount. Their VIP membership, at $1,500 only gives you 1 free hour a week. And let's face it... it is in Flemington..... Not Short Hill, Princeton, Weehawken, etc.... Flemington. Plenty of open land and cheap prices. The $25 an hour is not terrible... especially for a 40 yard range... it is the membership pricing that is an issue. This actually reminds me of my gym, Can Do Fitness here in Princeton. They opened ala country club, high end, etc... started charging $130 a month.... they went BK. Right now I am at that gym and paying $60 or so. If you read the range owners page... it does all make sense. They are former pharma execs who decided to open a gun range for their friends... those prices make sense. The question is... are there enough of those people to make the numbers work... and I don't know. From the facebook pictures... the range looks AMAZING. The shop/store looks more like my former UBS office than a gun range though. lol. Mahogany type furniture.... not really modern gun range... more country club for old timers.

Sig 229 Legion
How is the trigger compared to say a CZ Sp01? or the custom shop version?

Sig 229 Legion
Thanks. The video was useless... as it is just "Buy it because it makes you "elite" and exclusive".... but the website was good with details. I am intrigued to actually hold and shoot one to see how contoured and slimmed down the gun is. One of the pet peeves I have and I know many others have is the bulk of the sigs in comparison to other manufactures putting out a quality gun.... I mean thicker than a 1911 and some double stack 2011s.

Apple fighting the Government on creating a backdoor for phones.
Ok, so to keep the convo going... 1. Do we think at some level, the feds are pushing this, even though there may not be any new data on the device itself, in order to make a move to put in a backdoor on the devices? Ie... using this as an excuse to have a permanent solution? and Howard... you would be surprised at how many clients I work with, both young and old who have a dumb phone. Email can wait a few hours. Only real thing you need a smart phone for is GPS. (and chatting on the forum through tapatalk) sidenote, interest point from analytics... a good 40% of the site's traffic is mobile.... not even tablets.

Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately, sometimes it is better for them rather than prolong the suffering and anguish.

Here is a question, obviously the guy had an older iphone with no biometrics... If it was a new iphone with a fingerprint reader... could they of use the dead guys print to open it? I know the whole fingerprint issue (ie LE can make you swipe your print but cannot make you enter a password).

Apple fighting the Government on creating a backdoor for phones.
Yep... Apple started caring about security recently, especially once they tried to push hard into the corporate market to replace all the BlackBerries. It is funny too, a guy I was sitting next to at my last conference was looking at my Blackberry and was asking me how I like them. He pulled out his 8 year old Curve or Bold... and told me how he went to get one after his android devices were hacked into recently.... twice. And this is a guy who managed a sizable investment business. The more I read about this stuff, the more paranoid I get. lol. ... and that is why do not use Google whenever I don't have to.

Well I didn't want to say that but yes. I think the owners, as per the biography just seemed like a range was a good idea, and have not fun business. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Made me laugh on the paper line. I appreciate the posts from our tech crowd. I also want to thank the poster bringing up that Apple management is typically liberal. So what does it say for conservatives when the liberals at apple care more about your privacy than the majority of our conservative candidates who are screaming for apples head to get them to comply. The gop is all for rights, except for privacy under the notion of national security, at which point the neocon gene kicks in. I don't think politics matters here one bit, Apple is standing up for their business and as a result, privacy rights for all Americans. Btw, find me a phone that is made in the United States. Lol My iPhone is Chinese and my blackberry devices are all Mexican. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Apple fighting the Government on creating a backdoor for phones.
So here is a hypothetical... How many people would willingly buy a phone, at a discounted price, knowing that the government can have access to your phone, data, including ability to track you via GPS, access your camera and microphone? (or a hacker for that matter). My issue with this is this. I have a client who worked for the government, post office, over the last 3 years, we have gotten no less than 3 notifications saying their personal information was breached, including social security numbers, direct deposit data, etc. If the government cannot protect THAT info... how can anyone in their right mind not think that this ability is not ripe for abuse? Remember in 2008 when cell phone companies were in trouble for accessing presidential candidate phone data? lol. Since the Patriot Act.... the government has created a ton of data about their citizens.... but has it actually kept anyone safe? Or merely created so much data that it is not really possible to sift through it to get tangible results?
