Avoid the D's? Don't go dumb places with dumb people doing dumb stuff at dumb hours.

He may have missed "clean" on the work order.

I am tempted to restart the 13 for a fabulous Betta, just not tempted to commit.

Did my first water change and partial gravel cleaning. Added 3 more zebra danios, they are starting to school. If they form a gang, would they be zebros? The bristlenose pleco is pretty shy. Next school will be genetically modified white skirt tetras, Glofish brand. The last will be 4 panda Cory catfish or Otos

Assuming 10mm is as flexible for reloading as .41 and .44? Dare I say get a HP 10mm carbine? I also wonder if Ruger will offer a 10mm bolt face and barrel combo for their carbine down the road.

Anke Carry, my attempt at a review
A.J. Holst replied to A.J. Holst's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I too practice off hand shooting, almost exclusively with the Micro. I also practice RH to LH swap, which has become pretty smooth. Specifically for ankle carry, in the what if of a carjacking, I don't think I want to add the extra step of drawing with my left and swapping to right. You bring up a good training consideration, I need to add more off hand practice with my other carry pistols -

Glad you used an apostrophe S in your thread title. ain't English grand? -
First time I've been in a WM in a while to do any shopping. Strolled through gunz n ammo. Good to great selection of WWB. I was forced to buy a 150 value pack of 124 9mm for $27 and change. As a side note, I haven't bought any Win ammo in 10 years (and I couldn't tell you why) Across the brands on the shelf, 9mm target ammo seems to be hovering around $10- $11 / 50 round box

Concur on Cajun Gun Works for parts if you like to DIY. From customer testimonials, instructions and videos are spot on. Or let David and his team tune it up for you. Shoot it before you start spending, it's hard to get it back later.

Thanks for the post. I hadn't considered the long term impact of the environment. Over the last four years, we've trained in all kinds of fun weather in the valley from 90+ dry and dusty to cold, wet, and muddy. My mags have ended up on the ground numerous times. A quick wipe and tap and I always been good to go. Factory (CZ) and MecGar mags. Does the gun make a difference? It has to, my CZs are approved to operate for commercial and industrial use. Yes, I know a platform made in 1975, but to Randy's point, the G19 has a strong track record as well (along with a stable of other pistols) I'm all for new, awesome, and innovation, but after a reasonable break in period, it needs to work, just like a hammer.

Sold a gun I wasn't using and look what I got

I have never shot or handled one, please post after you shoot it up. -
Also have an over back mechanical filter, cycling an additional 30 gph

About 14 months ago, my wife bought a 13 gal fishtank and 4 starter goldfish. Had pretty good luck, though goldfish are not optimal for a long term aquarium. I decided to upgrade to a 29 gal tank. Traded in the now 5" voracious goldfish and started stocking with a baby bristlenose pleco and 3 zebra danios to cycle the tank. Went all plastic plants to reduce algae opportunity and installed an under gravel filter system. Next weekend, I'll add 3 more zebras. Once that school is established, Mrs. GtG wants a school of 6 harelequin rasboras and Glofish brand white skirt tetras.

Anke Carry, my attempt at a review
A.J. Holst replied to A.J. Holst's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I don't own a tuckable holster, hate them. My solution for deeper waistband concealment was a 4" max height handgun; that, plus a thin single stack may help with the tuck issue. -
Now that's funny. Assuming low round count, I'd call the seller to get a feel for the person. If they are pretty up to speed and have a go to FFL on their end, you're probably dealing with a seller trying to do the right thing.

The 75 is my go to EDC. I'd like something smaller and lighter, but no luck. (Maybe a PPS M2 or PPQ SC) A good belt and N82 Tactical holster have been satisfactory for dispersing the weight for AIWB. I'm 5'8" x 165# x 50 in June

My beloved CZs. The PO1 is actually an SDP from CZ Custom with Cajun Gun Works grips. I didn't like the czc grips, went to OEM rubber, and ended up with these. The 75B is an Omega that has been to Cajun Gun Works with Hakan Pek grips. I'm close to my 10 year anniversary with the Omega, 06 mfg date, I acquired in 08.

My earliest memories include our first apartment, becoming aware I was in a crib and how to escape. Those early cribs did not have complex gate locking mechanisms as the ones today. 1972 - 73 time frame, We lived in Philadelphia, Dad had just transitioned from 4 years Army to the DoD supporting the same project at Frankfort Arsenal. It's strange what you remember. Our apartment building was named the Mayfair House with a park across the street. There was a bar off the lobby as you would see in a hotel. Apparently, NOT in a good section of modern day Philly. Our family car was a VW Karmen Ghia until we moved to the 'burbs in '74

Opinions needed on red dot around $200
A.J. Holst replied to White Goodman's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
Watch OPs return policy, after 30-60-90 days (can't remember which) they refer you directly to the mfg'er for warranty work. -

Curious about the solar panel backup, especially at this price point. Sorry about your MPX, I thought it was going to be a winner when you brought it to class, send it to Sig? -
Well, somehow we left the thread. I'd like to read about your range time, the Saint was about $250 more than the MP when I bought, though I recall the Saint having better furniture with easy bolt on accessory options. Regarding Academy, I have neutral feelings. Some prices seem competitive, others, higher than elsewhere. Normally a good selection of less common calibers if you're willing to pay. Not particularly convenient, so I rarely shop there

In nature, an oyster is able to expel 99.9% of the sand that enters it's shell. It is that one tiny grain of sand that irritates the oyster. In response, the oyster begins to bathe that irritant with a liquid and ultimately, the liquid coating hardens and becomes a pearl. Once the pearl is formed, the oyster doesn't stop, it's continues to add to the protective coating. If you subscribe to God and creation, consider this; in all of God's perfection in the universe, is one small tiny irritant to God, the sin which makes this the imperfect world on which we reside. So like the pearl, God bathes the world with liquid in the form of the blood of Christ to protect it from the irritant. Within me, that same liquid washes away my sin and I believe if I keep my eye on the prize, like the pearl, that liquid will continue to flow and harden to become my growing armor of faith. Please Lord, help me to be a beacon of light in the darkness, protect me from myself and hypocrisy, that my thoughts be upon you, and that others can see Jesus Christ reflected in my words and actions.
