First episode set the bar pretty high for the rest of the season IMO. And the ending of the first episode is pretty damn mind exploding...if you're a Star Wars geek and know anything about it beyond just what knowledge you gather from the movies.

Recovery is coming along. I have full flexion now. I am about 10 degrees shy of full extension. Supination of my forearm is moving along much slower. I have to wear a brace that turns my wrist three times per day. I have been wearing it for about a month now. I can turn my hand (palm up) to about 45 degrees, however, the bones in my forearm won't budge.

hello fellow kids
Been a while. Any of you guys carry a wheel gun out in the mountains? If so how do you carry it? I would like a holster for my 4" 629 as i plan to go up north into the mountains more often and dont want to be bear food. Have looked at a few rigs but I want something inconspicuous, concealable under a t shirt or sweat shirt. The only holster I have right now is a OWB leather rig that fits the gun fine, but its kind of bulky and given the geometry of the gun and my build, etc. its not overly concealable like that, and doesnt feel as snug/secure as I think it could.

But, mountain carry of a bear relevant revolver that is wild animal level of accessible is not compatible with concealable under a normal shirt.
You're going to have to man the **** up and be willing to openly or semi-openly carry a revolver in the mountains.
The safepacker can carry a substantial revolver without the gun itself being visible when you put the flap over, though.

This, this is a nice pistol

Quick fire (not timed, probably 0.8-1.0 seconds per shot) at 10 yards for the index card and 25 yards for the A-zone. Standing unsupported with above pictured sub-compact. Only my 3rd range trip of 2019 so not like it's my A-game

My wife has just informed me that for the 3rd year in a row, FEDEX tried to come up the driveway in a box truck with summer tires, slid off into the ditch and is now stuck.
And the Heavy wrecker company said they will not come for service calls to my address after the last one

It's too bad building a secondary road or bridge forwhenthis one gets blockaded would, I am guessing, be cost prohibitive.

My biggest thing with the M&P triggers, all of them, is they break too far back. The whole thing start to finish is just too far back, it's really noticeable when firing one handed as my thumb position changes and my trigger finger runs into my thumb before the shot breaks which is really annoying and I've never had that happen with any other semi auto. I have a regular old curved Apex on another M2.0 and i'ts good but I'm replacing it with a flatty the next time Apex puts them on sale (hoping black/cyber weekend, if not then the 12 days of apexmas or whatever)

I have to wear a brace that turns my wrist three times per day. I have been wearing it for about a month now. I can turn my hand (palm up) to about 45 degrees, however, the bones in my forearm won't budge.

finally got around to fixing my Sig Sour P365 15 round clip. had to take it apart and put it back together, and load it with a MAGLULLA to force that spring in. all this after not being able to load past 5 rounds without the rounds nose diving is a yuge step.
whatever, even if it works its not like I can get proficient with it, since after 3 mags the trigger gets scaldingly hot. I guess thats a +1 to the hellcat

Systematic petition: U.S ammunition restriction. Create a government buy back program for ammunition at 3x market price + restrict the sale of ammunition to the point where there is only one bullet store per state
(the capitol of each state for example) where you can buy ammunition and each bullet is 100x-500x market price relative to each designated gun.
