  1. I am wanting to sell some of my guns, not buy new ones, but the Sig 365XL really looks good. If i see one locally at a decent price, I might get one...I already have several 12 round mags and 3 of the 15 rounders...
  2. Yep, choir practice used to start by 0730 after shift change...have a few beers with the team, recapping the shift, then off to bed!
  3. Had a co-worker get shingles a couple years ago, and after seeing her suffering, i do NOT want that!
  4. True, but also you wont be able to get into some federal facilities without the real id...effective 1 oct 2020
  5. Like many, both on here and elsewhere, I dont see the NRA recovering from this. As was mentioned by someone earlier, they have shown their vulnerable underbelly to the wolves and the wolves are very hungry! What makes it worse is that even though they had not been performing as they should have been, for years, there's no other organization poised to seize the reins that has enough momentum already to fill the void. Some will try and we will pick one, but the NRA's long history and association, however unearned, with gun rights will not be surpassed for many years if ever. I regret my life membership, and wish i had retained annual so i could hasten the end. Lesson learned on my part. I like TFA and am a member, and hear good things about GOA, but im undecided where to turn for representation at the National level. The NRA is becoming just an embarrassment. Too bad the size of the egos and salaries of key brass wont let them see or admit that they have forgotten that they are NOT the organization or the reason for the organization, they are just stewards that have long lost the vision we need. They need to do the right thing and bail. They've already made enough money off of us, just retire!
  6. I didnt know they stopped...i was going on what i saw when i got mine...
  7. This! I dont care what they say, when you have to report a gun serial number with the qualification sheet, thats a record somewhere of who has the guns,
  8. Ilike a lot of LA Police Gear stuff. My problem with them is they dont have a lot of clothing for those of us 'ready for hibernation' (Ronald_55). Actually, I have a 34" waist. I wear IWB and I have a huge gun. Ok, maybe I slightly exaggerate about the size of the gun...and the waist. Ok maybe not so slightly. Ok, I'm hibernation ready....
  9. Bought some more self defense ammo and loaded up the new 15 round mags. Sticks pretty far out of the gun for sure. Makes a better grip, but also may not like it for concealed carry. Will be testing this weekend to see. I'll tell you one thing that pisses me off though. The plastic that goes around the bottom of the mag that serves as a grip extension does not cover the back part of the magazine base, so that the pistol grip ends where the backstrap ends. Makes the gun more uncomfortable to hold and probably shoot that way. Dunno why, other than to save money, Sig would do these this way. The plastic on the 12 rounders go all the way around. They need to fix this for sure. If not there will be aftermarket base plates soon I'd expect. Sig is selling these for 49.99 each. I got mine thru OSage County Guns for 36, but still...for that much money they coulda finished the magazine...just sayin'.
  10. "Prepared for hibernation", that fits me, lmao.
  11. Its for safety reasons so it should...try enforcing that..
  12. Yeah, well maybe for most normal folks, lol. My FORO is completely illogical and not fact based, what can I say?
  13. I like tacticool pants and shorts. Not so much for the tacticalness but I loves me some big pockets and lots of them! Great for shooting for sure, and when I go to the range I also take a tactical conceal vest as well, not for the tacticoolness of it but for the pockets, man! If it didnt scream both GUN and mall ninja, I'd wear a vest all the time for the pockets, lol. I can squeeze a lot into a pair of jeans, and I aint just talking about my body, but with tactical pants I can carry what i like. Regular cargo ones mostly work almost just as well for me. Course, my FORO (fear of running out) phobias are what make me roll with a bag in my car with lots of 'extras' to see me thru the day, too.
  14. Sig sucks! I dont need another Sig P-365, dammit! But its looking like the XL may be in my future. I will need to handle one and compare it with my reg 365 first...
  15. Got my Sig P-365 12 rounders in the mail today! Getting ready to load them, but tried one in the gun and it sure does feel right holding the grip! Sure there will be a trade off in concealability, but that grip is sure to improve comfort while firing and accuracy too. The texture is a good match too. Good grip but not too aggressive.
  16. My main issue is that its difficult to get the programming i want via any source other than Comcast. Not to mention that their DVR boxes allow me to record multiple programs at the same time to watch later. Even Comcast doesnt give me all i want without paying a lot extra. I used to get the Military History Channel and recently lost it and Comcast said oh that was a mistake for you to get it in the first place. It only comes with this particular Sports pkg, that you get get for another fee. Not one to watch sports, i said no thanks. I wish some kind of a la carte programming was available. Like say give you a certain number of non premium channels for a certain fee, and you get to pick which channels of that number you want! Instead, they hide certain channels like the Mil History channel in with other programming that you dont want. Probably the biggest thing for me though that both keeps me at comcast and adds to my monthly costs are the DVR boxes. I have on main one in the living room and 2 satellite boxes in the bedrooms that we record shows on and watch different things on at the same time. There are other solutions, but none as good as the Comcast one, though I pay more for it.
  17. Hope it comes to red box or netflix, i dont have HBO.
  18. Shingles scares me! I got the 2 shot series earlier this years...hope it works for me. Hope your pain doesnt last...
  19. To your point, thats why I'm wondering who even wants to be a cop in these times...
  20. I remember that incident as well, and despite the false stories floating around about it, it probably resulted in better training for LEOs. Anothe rone that is scary was the Miami FBI shooting, but One other one that probably fueled my unreasonable phobia about this was the Sgt Timothy Gramins shooting in Skokie, Illinois. If you haven't heard of it, take a read. If nothing else, its an interesting story: https://www.policeone.com/police-heroes/articles/6199620-Why-one-cop-carries-145-rounds-of-ammo-on-the-job/ But I agree with you...my bigger firepower is usually close by with multiple reloads, just in case. Despite my "phobia", i often only have a pocket .380 with 6 rounds in my immediate area, for various reasons you can imagine.
  21. I like that benefit as well. It does make the grip more controllable.
  22. Im not quite sure how I acquired this phobia i have about carrying as much ammo in my weapon as I can. For the first half of my career I carried a .38 with only 6 rounds (and another 18 on the belt), before switching midway thru my career to a 9mm with 15 in the gun. Then, after retiring, I developed this fear of running out of ammo... For years after retiring I carried an FN-45 with 15+1 with another 30 on my belt. Finally convinced myself to go to a lighter, smaller EDC and ended up with a 9mm Shield...but the fear crept back and so i got the 365 when it came out and now carry it loaded with 12+1. Will switch to the 15 rounder when they come in probably. Totally un-explainable fear i have on this issue. On a positive note, I only carry one spare mag on my belt now, with 10 more in my bag, lol.
  23. just pre-ordered 3. Thanks, man.
  24. Did you order from Sig directly? A while back Brownells had a killer sale on Sig mags, but not right now, alas...
