3300 Fans Giveaway

Posted by thriftstoretactical on March 16, 2013
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: decals, giveaway, gunfighter, pistol course, suppressors, training, vinyl. 14 Comments

So, here it is–the 3000-fans giveaway.  The grand prize will be a free seat in a future TST Pistol course of the winner’s choosing.  If you win, you bring the gun and ammo, we’ll provide the training.  Location and dates are still in the works, but the winner will have his or her pick when the schedule is finalized.  As an added bonus, my buddy at Emergency Operational Solutions will bring out one of his suppressed fun-guns for the winner to shoot.  Who doesn’t wanna blast rounds through a can?

But wait, there’s more–three other TSTers will win a TST decal, custom made for me by my friend at Tactical Vinyl.  Yes, they look like the Salvation Army logo–they’re supposed to.  Thrift Store, get it?

A TSTer is listing 3 30-round mags for Beretta 92s.  At $100 each, they’re not terribly thrifty, but they’re available.  Which is more than I can say about most mags these days.  Click the link, check the pics, maybe you’re interested . . .

Tec-Shield Elite, Part 2

Posted by thriftstoretactical on February 21, 2013
Posted in: Uncategorized. Tagged: carbon, cleaner, CLP, lube, tec-shield. 2 Comments

So last time I talked about Tec-Shield Elite, I forgot to take some pictures of before and after cleaning.  This time, I remembered.  I am extremely low on training ammo, like I don’t have any.  And the case I ordered didn’t arrive in time for my range session.  That left me scrounging through my ammo drawer, trying to find any loose rounds.  What I came up with was a hodge podge of old NATO rounds, Magtech Guardian Gold, and ancient  Silver Tips.  I had less than 75 rounds all together, so the TWOLF wasn’t completely filthy after shooting.  But it wasn’t clean, either.

Cleaning was a breeze, just like last time.  I sprayed Tec-Shield on a cloth and wiped.  That’s it.  The only “scrubbing” I had to do was on the carbon you see on the barrel in the upper-left photo.  And by “scrubbing” I mean I rubbed a little harder with my cloth.  It really seems like I’m just spraying water out of the Tec-Shield bottle, but it cleans carbon easily.  It’s still taking time to get used to this “dry lube” effect, but the gun feels slick once put back together.

If you’re still using smelly solvents and petroleum-based oil, move into this century and try Tec-Shield.
