YIKES! Guess I'll have to check my onions at Kroger this week.
-
I like it...for all the wrong reasons. lol

You are right, my friend. lol! I fought it for years. But since wife retired...it's been hopeless. I now watch them with her. Some are even fairly good. It's fun watching actors that I've seen in movies and series before show up on the show. Fer' instance...Lucas Bryant. The sheriff from Haven. And others whose names I don't know but recognize the faces. I wonder if the Canadian TV regs are like the music industry there was(is) in the past? A large percentage, I think it was 80% of broadcast music HAD to be Canadian musicians.

Well...I missed that one. lol Actually found, like most everyone else, that Holosun and others are in very short supply at this time. I actually ended up spending close to 100 more and ordered an HE510c GRv2 from Amazon. It appears to be the next gen/model up from the 507. Supposed to be here on 8/4. I'll be mounting it on my Canik SFX. Checked with Canik to be sure the Holosun products would work with the mounts supplied with the pistol. According to Canik, the Holosun has the same footprint as the #2 mount for Trijicon RMR. I guess I'll be able to verify that soon.

Gerber forever! lol I've had Gerber knives since I was in my 20's. Bought an LST and loved it. If fact, I still have it. No longer carry it. It's got strong sentimental value because of an incident with my Dad over those "cheap" knives. Anyway, I have several Paraframes. Great little pocket knife. Have one on the desk in front of for cutting and opening things. I also have the ProTech Magic. Wonder where we all got these? Like it, but it's in the safe with my so-called collectible knives. I will be looking into that Gerber FAST model. I do seem to like those assisted opening knives.

Bang on, Sir. Having just eyeballed(sorry for the terrible pun) them and having a couple of green lasers, I'm definitely in it for the added visibility. Red dots just seem to all blur out on me, and I find them harder to find the dot. Now that might be just my inexperience with them, but I do favor the green. Couple with the side access for battery, and the shake awake feature...I believe I've made my decision.
-
Maybe. I'll do some calling tomorrow and find out.

David, I'm looking at the 507 C v2 green dot. I'm finding myself very drawn to it. From what I get from Kinzie Optics and Canik USA, it fit the Trijicon mounting plate for my SFX.
-
Nice looking piece. I sort of favored the Bold Action Xll Tanto myself. But that's just me. If you get in the mood for another auto...look into the Kalishnakov Autos. I've had 2 and for 40 or so apiece, they've been pretty good carry pieces. but I don't do much more than cut paper or open boxes with them.

I've had a "mouser" since that fateful day many years back when I walked into Specialty Arms II and found an LCP with a laser attached. Paid entirely too darn much for it, but it was just after the craze hit. Lightweght, snappy, and dependable. Expect to own it until I leave here. I do have a funky greenish yellow keltec one that is so ugly I'm embarrassed to mention though.

Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene might have sent them. They were last known to have plants in their yard.

It is an addiction. Meds do not seem appropriate and usable for it. Wife mostly ignores it these days. Common reply is "Do you have enough to protect me/us?" I usually reply with a shake of the head and a sad smile while explaining the virtues of the next or recently acquired specimen.

You will be missed Jeff. You brought a lot of fun and insight to our community. My condolences to your family. R.I.P. Jeff.

Seems a bit high to me. I can do it cheaper at home.
-
I keep watching this. I'm not sure why. Maybe to see one of them fall in the water or get smacked by something other than water. The fish swimming away didn't seem bothered by these soon to be Darwin award winners.

I have seen the ads for these, and have been tempted by them. The pistols coming out of Turkey have been very good in my small observation and use. I'm a Canik fan, and have several. No problems whatsoever with them. If I were to be in the right place at the wrong time, and found a really good price...well I might just have to bring one home with me. And getting 3 mags with it is the icing on the cake. These days we are lucky to get 2.

Yet another letter to the ATF...

I have a few SB braces, and that's all I'll say. I hope to not have to make changes. -
Oh My Stars and Garters!! Such a lovely lady!

Oh Man! I just caught the Push Bar on the nose! This just gets better and better! FWIW...Yes. I am easily amused.

Sweet looking pistol. I like it...a lot. -

I think still relavant. I don't for one second believe that every item we buy that is even remotely connected to firearms isn't cataloged in some system. Company records, Credit card and debit card logs, even cash purchases logged in on some sort of purchase recording systems. Banking records and such aren't private any, if they ever have been. Oh...it's only for my company sales records. No one else will ever see it. BOVINE SCATOLOGY! For the last 20+years at least...Big Brother, aka our own government officials have kept track of our actions. Phone taps, online devices recording key words and phrases, our neighbors even! We are watched from cradle to grave. With records to match every action. Mobile cameras, traffic cams, insurance devices to monitor your car AND your movements. Police cams. Heck supposedly our own smartphones, laptops, and dinosaurish PCs. All can be watched and recorded. The camera links on these devices, the data millions of us willing send out in stupid, insipid photos, tweets, and whatever other method is in vogue today. Not trying to be argumentative, I just don't believe the privacy we think we have actually exists anymore. Ok. Emotionally spent. No more today. Ranting done. Maybe. -

More precisely phrased for you. lol -
Oh that is just way too cool!

Yet all the "Positives" are lumped in the statistics as "cases." And the media is using "cases" to mean dire things like hospitalized, deathly ill and dying. What percentage of "cases" are actually hospitalized? Again...scare tactics. I do believe in the Covid19 virus. It does exist. More lethal than influenza and all the other flu strains? Probable. Necessary to destroy the economy and social structure to combat it? I'm still having a hard time with that.
