I did see the NRA write up on it. I thought it looked pretty good! I like the enhanced sights on it.

There are times when it won’t matter how many rounds you carry. Most definitely 6 wouldn’t have been enough! https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/rapper-shot-many-64-times-he-walked-out-chicago-jail-n1273834

I had a cz 70 back when you could get one for $69. Actually bought at the rod and gun club in Nuremberg. It went with me along with ruger 89 on a deployment. Yes against regulations, I know. Was comforting to have ammo and side arms long before we were issued ammo in the sand box. I never needed it, never fired it. When I finally took the cz to range years later, it was a jamamatic, pins starting working loose and it locked up. I traded it at a gun store for ammo. The ruger 89 of course was always rock solid and reliable.

If I read reviews/complaints about the item as counterfeit, I don’t order it from Amazon. In those cases Midsouth or Midway will get my order. I had one bad experience with Optics planet and I don’t bother with them anymore.

I will give them a try. Mostly eating tortilla chips and salsa forever. We recently started buying the variety packs of chips for snacks while camping. The wise brand chips are the worst. But the Clancy’s aldi brand has some great flavors.

It’s strange. Especially with that online bank Chime recently locking down access to bank accounts too.

I hope the U.S. military and government become more proficient at defending our country from cyber attack. So far, I haven’t seen any sign of that. Both the government and private industry are likely way behind the power curve. I think the only reason that China hasn’t shut us down is that financially they still need us. Russia is just playing right now. If there is any serious dust up it will be lights out!

I completely understand. Prayers for your Molly and you!

MonkeyLizard, that is awesome! A nice bit of history there! The metal looks like new! I think you did great!

Dang, I know that hurt! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Definitely emotion and adrenaline overcame common sense. Normally slapping and pushing a bear does end well!

I have the HL-5 X also but I have not experienced the the battery problem. It mostly sits charged up. Every once in a while I click it on and it lights up light like the sun. I keep the streamlight 18650 in a cheap Chinese eBay light and no issues with that one either. It gets used a little more often but it doesn’t seem to have any issues maintaining a charge. I have an old surefire G2 with a Malkoff led in it and another streamlight 18650 use it fairly often and it maintains a charge too. I wonder if you have a couple bad 18650s?

I like your choices. I have been happy with the LCP, I have the older model. My other favorite is a 60s vintage S&W model 37. If it isn’t reliable I don’t keep it. I forgot to mention the Bersa .380 that was a good one too.

I like to keep some around. I noticed in the very beginning of the ammo hoarding that the shotshells disappeared fast, almost like people were preparing for a rodent or snake apocalypse. The components to reload them quickly went out of stock. Like Garuda said they used to sell for about $10.

Arkansas bridge inspector fired!!! Well, what you know that guy was right! https://wreg.com/news/watch-arkansas-officials-hold-briefing-on-i-40-bridge-situation/?fbclid=IwAR3Q1RTqwUY9qPbsgMhDKOior3a7k2hKRWaWWc5fo4r2udtWX-93nD7bz1s

To be honest I didn’t know you could eat them, But I never had alligator either. I used to see monster gar when I was a kid down south.

Good to know! I haven’t made that trip west in a long time. I wondered how bad the back up was. I hope to head that way this year.

https://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/dept/ammunition/pistol?instock=true These guys occasionally get in some decent priced 9 mm and other stuff. I say decent for the current market we are in. Today they had wolf 9mm for $17 a box. I know that’s not like the pre-hoarding prices but still not bad for plinking stuff now. And yes they often limit quantity to two boxes, sometimes more depending on caliber.

I ain’t volunteering to drive over first! But hey, I saw them interview an “expert” today, they said this kind of damage wouldn’t cause a bridge collapse.

The dogs learn fast! My dog learned the sound of ring camera alerts real fast! It’s surprising to me how may words they learn too!

Sorry I missed that deal too!

I don’t know. To me that looks like the the edge of the plate that is riveted. It’s not a real clear photo.

https://www.autoblog.com/2021/05/13/hummer-h2-burns-hoarded-gas/ I don’t think this was cost effective at all!

Looks completely broke all the way through. I reckon that inspector made the right call!
