Yes, I'd cancel the PayPal subscription and try again. Something has gotten out of sync between the forum and PayPal.

You had a few expired Benefactor memberships that were eligible for renewal. I canceled them entirely, so you should be able to re-subscribe under a new one now.

A little more information added above. Thanks.

If you are part of a safety/security program for your church, synagogue, or faith-based school or organization within driving distance of Nashville, or have personal contacts filling those roles, message me privately please. I am helping organize a private event in March that will be of interest. Material will be presented by two former CIA members on the current and emerging threat of terror attacks by ISIS and Al Qaeda against faith based organizations in the United States. Pastoral leaders, principals of faith-based schools, and leaders of faith-based organizations are welcomed and encouraged to attend with their safety/security leads. This is a private event. Security will be very tight. Advance RSVP will be required for admission. This the most public thing you will see mentioned about it until after the event has occurred. Again, message me if you are a team leader for a safety/security program at your church or synagogue or can put me in touch with them. Also if you are a security leader or officer for a faith-based school or college. Thanks! **Driving distance means whatever you want it to mean. I'm expecting a few people from other states.

Thanks. I know a few people who might be interested.

I carry one of these daily and have had several folks ask about mine. Does yours have the Gen 1or the Gen 2 optic cut? I'll be glad to pass word of it along to some folks who have inquired about mine.

Allow me to bring this thread back from the dead... So, twelve or thirteen years ago I started taking Krav Maga classes. It lasted about 4-5 months and then I quit. Work and other things in life got in the way and I just lost the drive. >>> Fast forward to December 2024 >>> While my brother in law was visiting for Christmas he told us that he and his wife had begun taking Krav Maga classes. They spoke about how much they enjoyed it, how challenging it was, and so forth. Given that several of my friends have been hounding me about coming back to join them at Krav classes, it set a slowly smoldering fire in the wet leaves of my give-a-damn. One of those friends started his Krav Maga journey 12 years or so at around the same time I did and passed his black belt test in mid 2024. Talk about something that catches your attention! Realizing that two of us took wildly diverging paths and one of us ended up with their black belt while the other kept buying progressively larger belts.... Yeah. >>> Fast forward to January 2025 >>> One of those friends told me on New Years Day, quite coyly, about a gift pass that he had for a free month of unlimited Krav Maga classes. It was the proverbial straw that broke the fat camel's back. "Say no more. I'm in.", I said. >>> Fast forward to January 30, 2024 >>> And now here we are at the end of my third week of returning to the art. Three classes a week, more or less. (I had to miss a Saturday due to family commitments) I totally suck at it. I've forgotten most of what I learned previously. I'm nearly 15 years older and probably 75 pounds heavier than I was back then too. BUT... I'm loving it. Clothes are getting looser. Stamina is increasing. I'm allowing myself some grace and mercy and allowing myself to be terrible at it, rather than being the usual maladaptive perfectionist that I normally am. It feels like the journey I am supposed to be on, embracing my limitations and imperfections, and trusting that the process will slowly erode both of those things while it also erodes some of those 75 extra pounds. The point of all of this? I just want to encourage you. You aren't out of the game until you sideline yourself. Life will try to sideline you, but it can't unless you let it. It may slow you down. It may limit you. But you don't have to quit unless quitting sounds like a good way to go out. Get out there and do something that challenges you this year. Six months from now, I hope to be surprised at what I've accomplished.

It's attempted murder. Of children. IMO, the conclusion of this should be the death penalty if he's found guilty.

Ditto! My dress boots are Chisos but the boots I wear most are my Double H's.

@ Trade + Boot For sizing I can tell you that my Brannock shoe size is a solid 10D and these *ALMOST* fit. Problem is I need a wider toe box than most folks and the rounded toe box on this simply put a little too much pressure on my pinkie toe. A person with a 10D in athletic shoes who prefers boots and shoes with a narrow toe box will do fine with these. I have a similar pair of Double H boots (the Jase model) that are a wide square toe and 9.5D fits me perfectly in those.

FOR SALE: Up for sale is a virtually new pair of Double H brand, US Made, Rockdale boots in size 9.5D (medium). I ended up having to go up half a size but didn't fully realize that until I'd worn them off the carpet therefore committing to keeping them. Dumb move on my part, but you get to benefit from my mistake. These boots have been worn less than five times. Never in wet weather. As far as I can tell, their Bulldog Folklore leather is a soft, waxy leather that breaks-in fast. The more you wear them, the more they take on the appearance of your favorite pair of go-to boot with plenty of character. I am wearing my size 10D Rockdale boots right now. They are incredibly comfortable, and the non-metallic shank means you can waltz through airport security without having to remove your shoes at the metal detector (provided you have a TSA Pre-Check pass). The ICE outsole and heel provide excellent traction and don't have to be babied like leather soles do. They are also recraftable by Double H so you don't have to throw them away if the day comes that you wear the sole down. Specs: Men's 11" U Toe Roper Crafted with Bulldog Folklore Leather and featuring a midnight shock-absorbing PU insert, it offers unparalleled comfort and durability for long days on the ranch or in the saddle. With a slip-resisting Oak I.C.E. outsole and non-metallic shank, the Rockdale ensures stability and safety in every step. Union Made in USA with Global Parts Leather Welt Construction Bulldog Folklore Leather Upper U Toe Unlined Electrical Hazard Rated 100% Non-Metallic Midnight Shock Absorbing PU Insert Oil & Slip Resisting Oak I.C.E. Outsole & Heel Non-Metallic Shank https://www.doublehboots.com/en/rockdale-28153.html?dwvar_28153_color=Dark BrownS Terms of Sale MSRP on these is $255. Will sell for $175 shipped to the lower 48 US states. Payment via PayPal Other Information I am going to list these for sale on Reddit and on Facebook Marketplace. Just understand that you may see these boots listed here and in those two other places. As soon as they sell, I'll take them down from all three locations.

These are the new metal Glock compatible mags that Staccato is running with the new Staccato HD pistol. What I failed to appreciate when looking at the leak of the new HD is that these mags are Glock 19 size and carry 18 rounds. Read that again carefully. They are Glock 19 size. And carry 18 rounds. https://themagshack.com/shop/pistol-magazines/9mm/mec-gar-9mm-18-round-magazine-for-glock-19/

I don't think you really read the material or stopped to understand why this mount is likely very superior to the MOS system. I am personally aware of 10-12 individuals who have had MOS plates and screws fail, or who inadvertently used the wrong length screw and cause the MOS plates to bend (and fail).

Yes.

Agreed. If the optic hasn't been through his gauntlet, I will barely consider it.
