Approximately 7 weeks ago I sent the slide from my 4.25" duty-size M&P M2.0 9mm to Doug Presson at DP Custom Works to have their GAB 4.0 package and a fresh jet-black nitride finish applied to it. Today, it came back and I quickly reassembled it with a Trijicon RM07 red dot, 10-8 Performance sights (M&P front, Glock rear) and an Apex Tactical Specialties striker safety plunger. I am ambivalent about the Apex trigger on the M2.0 series so I have skipped that for now. They look good for social media but I built this to be a fighting gun. Some time ago I smoothed out the area beneath the trigger guard for my middle finger to stop giving myself callouses from how tightly I grip the gun, and I added some very simple, functional "indexing points" on for my support hand thumb. I wasn't trying to win any beauty pageants with that stuff, so if you think it looks like crap... good. I expect this cheap ole M&P to perform just as well as any of the guns that I have that were 3x as expensive as it. Talk about making a guy question his purchasing decisions.

He is, after all, the healthiest person to ever run for POTUS.

Hopefully this weird season will play in TN’s favor. I’ve been riding the roller coaster of UT football since 1985. Turning the schedule upside down and keeping it all conference I think is the best thing that has come out of this Covid mess. Go Vols!

Yup. You should try driving through Indiana. Your suspension will hate you.

You also know the alternative as you travel to other states. Some roads are almost dangerous due to their state of disrepair. They require maintenance. Everyone wants them maintained as long as the maintenance does not impede them in any way. Do it during the day and folks are angry about having to stop for a minute. Do it at night and they complain about the noise. It is a no win situation.

This is MN in a nutshell.

Unless POTUS has other health issues, why would anyone doubt that he would not recover from covid-19? This whole pandemic thing is the biggest crock ever threw at the American people and the sad part about it, most fell for the lie. TB infects 15 million a year and 1.5 million die from it, every year now that is my definition of a pandemic. MSM has been pushing this from every talking head in MSM, or you have read it on the internet so we all know it has to be true, just like the Trump Russian collusion. People wake up, you have been had.

It’s amazing how wise those that predated some and whose words were incorporated into a certain book have fallen on deaf ears. The lessons of history are clear. We have thousands of years of experience, yet everyone want to reinvent the wheel.

It difficult for me not to think in terms of heroic Greek tragedy, hamartia, hubris, irony and the like. I do hope it's just a lesson and not a final judgement though. - OS

I've owned a 4" blue Ruger Security Six for many years. Great gun! I've had a 2.75" model on my wish list for more years than I care to count. The darn things are hard to come by and often sell at ridiculous prices. About a week ago, one popped up on the local Armslist. I sent the guy an e-mail, but unfortunately had to leave for a doctor's appointment. By the time I got back, it was gone. Likewise, I found a nice blue one on GB just a few days ago. It ended up selling for way more than I was willing to give. But this morning I finally scored! Another one popped up on Armslist. Surprised me because two in as many weeks is unheard of. In fact, these are the first Security Sixs listed in over a year. I texted the guy, we made arrangements and I came home with this. It came with Pachmyer Grippers on it. I hate those. I dug around in the wood pile and came up with a set of factory targets. The pic doesn't really show it, but they're rough as a cob. Oh well, they'll do until I can find something better. I really would have preferred a blue gun, but beggars can't be choosers. I'm happy with it! Anyway, I hope to get it to the range soon. Range report pending.

Yep. Strangely no Hydroxychloroquine. That Regeneron is still in clinical trials.

I took a trip down to Leakey, TX at the end of last week to do some hunting. I had bought a hunting trip for Sika deer and hog at a SCI auction. The owner of BCR, Peter Allegra, has owned the property for about 30 years and brought in over 40 different species of European, Asian and African animals. He has over 10,000 acres which is roughly 16 square miles. It is a big place and I had it all to myself. Sika deer bugle like elk. Normally they are in full rut by mid September but the hot dry summer delayed the start of the rut. They were just starting to rut on my last day. We heard several bugles but the Sika never showed themselves. I was supposed to leave Friday evening but Peter told to stay another night so we could hunt on Saturday. Heard some more bugles Saturday morning but no luck. I had told Peter that I wanted a good eating size boar. He mentioned that he felt that the red deer does were a lot better eating than the boar. He has an abundance of them and said I could cull one of those if I wanted. So that's what I decided to do. I took a nice red deer doe at 142 yards on top of a ridge. I am glad I made a good shot and she went straight down. If she had run 15-20 yards right or left if would have been a hard recovery. The ranch house is at about 600 ft. The top of this ridge where I got the deer was at over 2300 Ft. Peter works hard to put you on the game you want. He and his wife only bring in one group of hunters at a time. They try to keep it at 4 and under. Peter and i hunted from before dark till after dark two straight days and then next morning. His wife would make home cooked meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was fun trip although I was a little tired on the 15 hour drive home. The last pic is a shed from a red stag. They are magnificent creatures.

Don't use the decocker and it will be fine. Never had the decocker accidently activate.

You don’t even gun if don’t have guns you don’t use.
