I had one, it's a great little pistol. The additional grip thickness due to the double stack doesn't make it harder to conceal and gives it a good feel in the hand. Low round count with no malfunctions. I traded it off due to being cheap - .380 was $18+ box when I had it and spare mags were not available. With .380 coming down, wouldn't mind having another. I think I found it on sale for $349 when I bought it.

According to the internet, the red fox is not dangerous to humans unless they have rabies, which is supposedly rare. Corner them, get near the den, get bitten. Even house pets are safe except for miniature dogs and house cats smaller than 10 pounds. Even those situations are rare since when the dog starts barking or the claws come out on the cat, the fox typically moves on. Unfortunately no game cameras to observe these shy critters. In the words of the Festrunk Brothers, "the foxes are now!"

Not planning on hunting or trapping, but I've got a family (spotted 2 adults and a pup) this morning in my backyard. With the erosion on my property line, I am pretty sure when their den is. No pics yet, when I opened the door, they scurried off. Pretty cool

What's preposterous (to me) is someone, probably many someones will buy this. Sam is right, big brother can now control salt.

https://www.yahoo.com/beauty/doctors-now-calling-safety-warning-194500400.html 1. Why post here? An argument for a properly sharpened and/or properly bladed knife. 2. Proper knife safety could be discussed. I remember when my son was in Boy Scouts and the he was permitted to carry his first pocket knife. To this day, he hands me a bladed tool, leading with the handle and still asks, "do you have it." once I have gripped it. 3. First aid perhaps? Important when you lose a knife fight to a fruit or vegetable. 4. I'm certain a sticker will fix it.

That's planted plants, not pants

Really dropped the ball, planted 12" pants 2 weeks ago. Low effort this year, trying 2 plants, patio barrels. Plus cilantro and basil. Not going to survive the Apocalypse, but we should have a few tomato sandwiches and salsa

does pre ban mean grandfathered for states where such a firearm is now illegal to own in it's original configuration? If so, now I understand why a premium could be had for buying in anti gun states

Do I detect some MST3K influence?

Marketing genius indeed; and you thought it only worked with cell phones. The upgraded features at the same price point is definitely a win for the consumer and a positive image for Glock Gaston could have easily popped it for a few bucks and the buyer would have paid for the added value. Congrats to you G-Lock gals and guys.

When saggies became main stream fashion, I was appalled. Gents, dress like somebody. Doesn't have to be new, custom tailored, freshly pressed and from Neiman Marcus, just clean and properly fitted to your waist. Definitely not practical nor tactical.

If you want to set yourself up to be an owner and not a worker, save every nickel you can. If you want to be a wealthy worker, save every nickel you can. Don't live the American Dream on credit, don't think eating out for lunch and dinner multiple times a week is a good investment, cut out legal sin (excessive alcohol, tobacco and partying) and don't gamble with the rent or milk money. Designer brands (of anything)...if the extra cost equates to greater quality or longevity, go for it. If it is more important to show the tag, well player, you've been played. I come from highly educated family but did not complete college. I learned from that environment one must work and invest quality time to achieve whatever level of success I wanted to achieve. To Mac's point, want to compete with the 800 pound gorilla? What are you doing as an owner or worker to cause the consumer to drive past the competition to buy and keep buying from you? Be Amazing, be Exceptional, be your Best...both in your professional life AND AND YOUR HOME LIFE. Don't leave it all on the professional field, you have to play a double header every day, at work and at home

I'm with Jab

I have a very liberal friend who is all about your money. He constantly spouts the greedy rich / exploited worker schtick. Propaganda at its finest, tell the same story over and over. I have friends and relatives waaay better off than me financially, I don't covet what they have, what they earn or what they inherited. I don't think they're greedy because they want to retain what they have or earn more than they have. Fair share and the public good. Who decides what my fair share is, aren't I the public and why am I not asked what is good. Maybe if my 5 figure tax bill was lower, I would be able to be less greedy and increase my charitable contributions.

So, the greed of the rich is repressing the poor. If you take wealth that you haven't earned, if you think someone else should pay more so you pay less, if you think you are entitled to someone else's stuff, is the one taking demonstrating greed as well? The rich are getting more wealthy at the expense of the poor and on the backs of their workers.

Any interest in Mil-surps here?

Smoky Mountain Knife Works and Bud's in Sevierville occasionally have new and used 75s in the case. Haven't specifically seen a SA, but haven't looked that close.

Pretty cool recycling application. Video worth watching. https://futurism.com/an-engineer-has-found-a-way-to-create-plastic-roads/ I support recycling and do participate, including packaging at point of sale. I support cheaper and longer lasting roads. I support the fact the asphalt providers do not need new equipment or processes. They went off the rails with the evil oil link. My B-i-L just retired after 36 years at Royal Dutch Shell, where if you ain't Dutch, you ain't much, so I caught the poke at Shell. He may have a little conspiracy theory going, the cost of bitumen to the local asphalt plants mysteriously drops? Who knows? If they had done a little Google search as I did... Bitumen is a BY-PRODUCT of petrol distillation and that ain't stopping anytime soon. If we remove a lot of bitumen from roads, which consumes 70% of this by-product, what do you do with it? Other than roads and roofing/waterproofing, no one is thinking up new and amazing ways to use this nasty, oozing black gunk.

What happened to showing a potato can be used as a battery. And I had to Google raspberry pi

I hope he was wearing brown pants.

Last weekend at Bud's or weather permitting, in the valley (aka the in-laws) Every other week when I can swing it. As far as operating in the rain, I will admit to zero experience, shooting in the rain, some. My "extra" focus is drawing / holstering with foul weather gear. With lots of extra straps, clips, frogs, drawstrings for snagging, it's slower and smoother for me than usual.
