MacGyver

My thought on "enough mags" is that during the next panic I ought to be able to buy a boat and comfortably retire.  Anything past that is just excessive.

I've got a lab coat made out of the stuff. I've abused it for years and it still looks new.

Congratulations!

Neat.  That's really good to know about!

What a shame.  He had such talent.

Fortunately we rarely have to take actions like this here. The community here polices itself well enough that when someone like this comes along, they really stand out. And, for what it's worth, the administrative realities far outweigh any perceived power. :)

Too late. Life's too short.

You've been here for seven months and have yet to bring anything but condescension and negative comments to the community. I'm going to speculate that's not going to change in the future.

I've got a set of Meprolights that work great on the platform.  They're tritium powered.  Ameriglo makes a similar full Tritium set.

I'd get one specific to the model.  You might have to order it, but there are plenty of options out there for that pistol - including one made by Desantis.   We're it me, I'd check out D.M. Bullard's offerings.

There you go.

They make files specifically for it. A good file and a simple jig might make a fun project.

I scored a second piece of pecan pie.

I sit here tonight in the company of a family that I'm blessed to call my own. This weekend, I'll do the same again with my wife's family. We have so much for which to be thankful.

$540 is about the best I've seen it with a mount. Saw an early deal at Elite Tactical with no mount for $479.

If anybody sees a Trijicon MRO with a full cowitness mount, post it up.

I got family heading to Lafayette this week for Thanksgiving.  I'd be glad to send these over so you can try them out if you'd like.  You're welcome to take them out in the field if you like.     My dad got a pair of the Nikon Acculon 8x24's recently.  How they got that much brightness out of a pair of glasses that small amazes me, but I wouldn't turn those down for their size (pocketable) either.  I don't know how they'd fair at either end of legal light, but they've been great when I've looked through them.

Sorry, that somehow got lost in my typing.  I've got the BX-2 Acadia line.     That's a "green ring", I think.  I remember being disappointed that they weren't being made here in the US like the Gold Ring line.   Seems like they were about $150 with the rebate.   I made a personal choice to stay in and have another piece of pie as opposed to taking part in the Black Friday madness a few years ago. My life has been better for it. I bet there will be some decent deals to be had online on field glasses, though.

That's something we looked at.  In our case it wouldn't be cheaper - especially when you consider the time cost in the equation.  Most of the "unapproved" plans renew every 90 days.  Basically, you're reapplying every 90 days - new deductible, the whole 9 yards.     When you look at it this way, you totally see the path to single payer.  And, it's a brilliant opening move.    The sad thing about it is that the people whom the law is supposed to help aren't really consuming it anyway.  If you're making minimum wage, you don't have a lot of room in the budget for health insurance - regardless of the stipend.   My wife is fired up.  We're lucky that we're in a position that we're even having the conversation, but she's considered going back to work just to get insurance.

We got new coverage for our family this week.  BCBS of TN cancelled our old policy which had been grandfathered in that famous, "if you like your doctor you can keep them" lie.  We had been paying about $500/month for decent coverage with an $11,000 deductible.  Basically, since our family is generally healthy, we know that we're paying for everything, and the insurance really only serves as a catastrophic backup.   Seems that this type coverage is the new norm, because after consulting with an advisor, we bought the same policy - albeit with a new "ACA compliant" label and paid right at twice as much for it.   Our agent had a good analogy from an automotive perspective- basically that I'm a good driver with a clean record, and there's another driver with 3 DUI's and 50 points on his record.  We're now paying the same thing for car insurance.   Now I've got another struggle as a small business owner, too.  All of this is definitely affecting my hiring plans for the new year.  I've got some real thinking to do...

TATP, really? This is going to be a self-correcting problem eventually. If these fools ever had even an introductory college Chemistry class, they would know that if you play with that stuff long enough and you will blow yourself up.

I got a pair of Leopold 10x42's a couple of years ago that I've been really pleased with. They're super bright and at least as clear as some more expensive ones that I've used in the past. Seem like I got them when Bass Pro had one of their trade in promotions going on where you bring in any old pair and get a credit back. That was a major factor in their favor before. That said, I'd buy them again at full price.

  I miss Guns for America!

I'll be in with a black blade. The usual.

He's a bit east of the mid-state, but Mike over at Law Enforcement Sales is the most professional Class III person I've dealt with.  You'll only have to drive over once to pick it up.
