I actually just watched those videos the other day...they do look neat and I'd love to try them. -
"Tactical" Pants (5.11 Dress/Khaki/Cargo/etc)
GlockSpock replied to GlockSpock's topic in General Chat
Ok, been wearing these LAPG Operators for a few days now. I'll say, they are quite comfortable. Monday I found room to mow in between rain. It was very humid and I'll sweat on a snowy day. Thus, the paints were drenched by the time I finished. The difference was that when I normally wear jeans while working, the jeans soak up the sweat and get heavier and stick to you. These LAPG Operators (as well as any pants made of similar material of course), even though they were soaked they didn't quite stick to me like jeans do when soaked with sweat. This made them very much more comfortable than the jeans while working. Beginning to love the placements of all the pockets. However, I'll say two things that have slightly disappointing me. Within 2 hours of wearing my black pair, the main button nearly tore off. Now, the thread is still holding the button on, but it is literally there by a thread. It will be a quick fix, but disappointing for 2 hour long paints. Yesterday I noticed the navy pair's button was loose so I was extremely careful with it. Today I put the "sierra" colored ones. Button seems ok on them but I noticed they are longer than the others. I can wear the others without shoes or boots and the length is just right. These the legs go a bit below my heel and gets very annoying without shoes on. Overall I am still very satisfied. They are, after all, $20 pants. I don't mind tailoring a thing or two, but it would have also been nice for them to have went several weeks/months without needing any modification. I will also say that I am quite a fan of the elastic waistband. It keeps them looking neat regardless of whether I have a holster on. Inelastic pants generally bunch up if they fit with a holster but you aren't wearing one. -
That's great! I pretty much decided not to buy one when I heard about those things and didn't do any additional reading, but who knows? Maybe one is in my future after all?

My wife loves that. And yes, I was referring to integrated Kinect system and the mandatory internet connection. As far as all the hating, check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Minutes_Hate

You mean the (potentially) successful implementation of a completely voluntary telescreen in most American's homes? Hold on, I will be back after our daily two minutes hate.

If you have never tried it, Braid is worth every penny. I played in on the PC when I caught it on a Steam Sale, but it is available on the 360 for a few bucks. Give it a chance, you'll be hooked I assure you. They used to have a 360 Demo, they still may. 100% recommended.
-
Yeah, at first I was quite impressed they are giving a few away, but that particular one didn't catch my eye enough. Also, my brother went through (and partially still is) a huge Minecraft stage a few months back.
-
Hahaha. Thanks. I already passed on it, it's up to $19.99 now I think. Glad I didn't get them, even if it is for this reason alone.

I never really stock up on iTunes cards (I will try and do so next time) they are on sale somewhere (however, I don't because that encourages me to spend it on stuff I normally wouldn't). It is easier for me to treat fiat money like real money that it is to treat iTunes Credit as real money:) Yeah, quite a few of the bundles are more now. Perhaps it is right, perhaps it is wrong, but quite a few on MacRumors are suggesting that Warner Brothers probably set the prices "wrong" on purpose in order to generate a huge number of sales quickly and then "correct" the prices to what they wanted. The result? The Harry Potter Complete Collection is now #1 in the Top Movies section (along with quite a few other WB collections). It would not have gotten there if it had not been $10 for a few hours this morning. Hey, I'm not complaining, but they should be a little more transparent in their marketing if that is what they were trying to do. Something like "First 1000 Purchasers Get it for $10 and then it goes up to $59.99". But whatever. I got two good bundles at insanely good prices:)
-
Well..some bundles seem to be bouncing around on price.
-
Well, a few of the people on MacRumors were right:( Some of the pricing did appear to be "wrong". Harry Potter is now $59.99. Some of the others are still at $9.99, and a lot of good deals regardless.

Going to give A++ +1 100% Would Purchase Again suggestions for the Surefire X300 Ultra. I too agree that you cannot have to much light for a weapon light. Once you hit it, your night vision is gone (unless you figure on training to close one eye when you use the light, then switch eyes once the light is off). Thus, you'll want as much light as you can have so that once you switch it on, you can see what you need. The other guy isn't going to be able to see a thing looking at you. I used to thing a strobe would be nice, but then testing my (unmounted from gun) X300 Ultra in the dark I decided that a strobe might not be necessary when you are looking at a theoretical 500 lumens. For ~$200, I don't think you can beat the X300 Ultra. It's on my carry gun when I carry it, I love it that much.

Ohio instructor shoots student in gun-safety class
GlockSpock replied to Worriedman's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
You beat me by two minutes. But my title was going to be "And you thought your HCP was bad?". Oh well. Maybe next time. EDIT: Just like to say that Sportsman's Supply in Hixson, TN was superb. Class was taught by CPD's Range Officer (I think it was the range officer, been over a year and I forget). He was a great instructor. -
Just a quick acknowledgment, quite a few of the iTunes Movie Bundles are on sale. Now, I don't want this to turn into a debate about iTunes vs BluRay, or iTunes vs Used DVD. I am simply letting you know that they are on sale more than I've ever seen most of these before. I admit, I pay more sometimes for some things on iTunes, but it is so nice it being in the iCloud and then being able to access it from my Apple TV/iOS Devices. Notably: Lord of the Rings Trilogy $10 Harry Potter (8 Films) $10 Matrix Trilogy $10 Lethal Weapon (4 Films) $10 Austin Powers (3 Films) $10 There are some others, but these are the ones that stuck out to me as being the best deals. Unfortunately I already had LOTR (purchased it on iTunes about a year ago for 500% what it is now). Purchased Harry Potter and The Matrix bundles. Thinking about Lethal Weapon, it's a good deal. I don't remember those movies (sorta "before my time") a bit, but I am interested in them. Austin Powers I'll probably pass on. Back to the Future and Jurassic Park are borderline, I love those collections but don't understand how you can offer all 8 Harry Potter films for $10 but then charge $20 each for Back to the Future and the Jurassic Park bundles. So what bundles are you buying, and why? Anything else I should purchase?

You did horrible. These are $50 guns at best. Just because I am nice, I'll give you $100 for it just so you don't become discouraged or feel bad. LOL That's a pretty Enfield. I could be wrong, but I think $300 seems to be about what they go for, with some details that increase their value. Good find!

Darts? Like these guys? They must have been serious! Eggs? Sure. Rotten fruits/vegetables? Sure. Darts? Wow!

Until you realize that this will probably be included in "art studies" courses for years to come, classes of which most college studies programs require at least one of. How do you think this will cause Trayvon to be remembered?

I have no interest right now in having a "home line" simply because I have never had one and always used my cell, however Ting offers this device: https://ting.com/devices/buy/Sprint-Homephone-Connect It'd be $6 additional on your monthly bill and the minutes would pull from your tier for your minutes. It seems interesting but there are many other options. Thanks! I remember reading about this a few months ago. Honestly, I have been wanting to give PagePlus a try, but I cannot seem to get away from Ting because they honestly have some of the best customer service I have ever used. Every time I have tried to contact PagePlus, I've been on hold for 5-10 minutes. Ting's online interface is very simplex (means a lot to me). So although I have been interested in giving Republic Wireless a try, I would have a hard time switching from Ting. My ultimate solution would be once Ting updates with iPhone compatibility, that would be perfect for me. I have been thinking about getting a Verizon iPhone and porting it to PagePlus, but I haven't convinced myself to do so just yet.

"Tactical" Pants (5.11 Dress/Khaki/Cargo/etc)
GlockSpock replied to GlockSpock's topic in General Chat
Well, it will fit in there if I do not have my holster, but with my kydex IWB holster it sits about right where the furthest right side of the wallet would sit. Since it is the nylon/cotton blend instead of jean material, it offers no resistance against the kydex and allows the kydex to "takeup the space" of where the wallet would sit. Let me also note that I am carrying the Spec-Ops Brand T.H.E Wallet, and it is not small. I used to really like my T.H.E. Wallet, but I am thinking of replacing it soon with something like this: http://gearhungry.com/2013/07/slimfold-wallet-version-2.html Or any one of these: http://gearhungry.com/?s=wallet But once again, to simply answer your question, yes the wallet fits. But I'll have to carrying a bit counterclockwise moreso to get it to work. I generally carry at about 4:00-5:00 on the hip, but I think it'll work if I go about 3:00. -
Been using Ting for a couple of months now. Very satisfied. They ended up changing their billing system about a month ago so it's even more simplex now. Beforehand you had to "estimate" usage and then prepay for it. Then if you used more or less, they would "adjust" it on your next billing cycle. However, now they simply let you use they phone for a month, then bill you for usage. They just ended up charging my card today for usage, made me think to update this post. Having a $24.17 cell bill is nice. That is one reason I am looking for a Sprint Android phone. If it is Android and on Sprint, I can simply replace the "feature phone" I have with the Android phone. I can keep using 0 data and my bill will stay at $24.17. Anything under 100MB would be + $3. This would allow me to keep my cell bill cheap but also allow the phone to do smartphone things when on WiFi:) I would once again recommend Ting 100% $25 Off Coupon

"Tactical" Pants (5.11 Dress/Khaki/Cargo/etc)
GlockSpock replied to GlockSpock's topic in General Chat
Well, it is very difficult for me to say. I have several pairs of 38-30 jeans. I have lost around 35lbs in the last 9 months or so. Now the 38's are too big. I didn't really think I was a 34-30 yet, so I ordered the 36-30's from LAPG. They fit me perfectly. I did get the ones with elastic in the waistband (not sure if I would have liked the others more, wish I would have ordered a pair of each initially then ordered a few more). The elastic waistband seems it would be more forgiving if you have pants larger than you need. Wearing them at work right now. My first thoughts: Comfortable (+) Lightweight (+) Lots of Pockets (+) Very fairly priced (+) Noisy (-) Back pocket? Can a wallet fit in there? (-) I like them. Overall they may be confusing me a bit right now, because I am trying to figure out the most optimal way to stuff my pockets with stuff. It's probably a good thing I cannot put my wallet in my back pocket, it will probably be better for my back sitting at work. I have plans to probably purchase some sort of front pocket wallet or something. Also, been thinking of redoing my key chain and now is the perfect time. I don't know what I want yet but it has a nice D-ring in the front above one of the smaller pockets. Seems like it would be a good place for something of this sort:) -
"Tactical" Pants (5.11 Dress/Khaki/Cargo/etc)
GlockSpock replied to GlockSpock's topic in General Chat
Got my LAPG Operator Pants in today. I like them, they have lots of pockets and stuff. However, one thing that I am learning to dislike about them is it seems when I sit down that my holster wants to slide with the pants a bit down my hip. Then when I stand up they are both lower than they should be. I purchased a High Noon Holsters gun belt a few years back but got skinnier so started wearing my Spec-Ops BDU belt. Well, the BDU belt works great with these pants, but compared to jeans, the BDU fabric doesn't seem to want to support a holster at all. Thus my BDU belt and LAPG BDU's seem to be a less than optimal setup for IWB carry. -
My vote would be a CZ P-01. I had one, and it was great. Admittedly, I probably should not have gotten rid of it, but I never shot it because I loved it so much. I shot my Glock more, thus I sold the CZ and got another Glock so I could have standard magazines/accessories/etc. But, you cannot go wrong with a CZ P-01. One thing I got rid of it for though was that holsters were a bit harder to find than for a Glock. HighNoonHolsters makes good holsters for the CZ, but I wanted one with room for a flashlight. Those are a dime a dozen when you have a Glock.
