The most important one imo would be knowing you have PM’s, they can be time sensitive. Not everyone is the forum daily

darn it, tie goes to you!

someone reset smtp

I’ve got follow on and didn’t get notice of your reply. Using Gmail or other service? Not sure of out matters but mine is Gmail.

I’ve had a couple PM’s that didn’t generate notifications via email. Verified email settings are active. Anyone else notice any email notification problems the last day or so?

Thanks @Turbobladz on adding the note for those unaware. For anyone considering, the above GB link is a 1.0 slide. These will remain your least expensive option if you don’t already have a slide.

That would be a pretty wide range depending on what user picks out from the large selection of S&W slides out there. Not to mention if you get one new, take-off, or used. I’d say $150 for the basic non optic cut 3.1” up to $650 for the 4” carry comp optic cut. example, on ebay right now you can get a new smith 3.1” barrel for $62, stripped slide for $90. A used nice complete slide with Crimson trace for $250. That’s without really looking so I am sure they can be had cheaper The skew on this gun is $629 with best online price @ $569 if that reference helps. This gives you the improved lower at a pretty good deal compared to the regular Shield with room to play, mix and match.

Oh that I got. Dont get me wrong, I love giving back to mother nature if / when i’m in the right place without spectators. It was the idea of maybe being inside, and going outside for that reason. I figure there is less of a chance of something biting me on the dong If I’m on the back patio during the summer having a beer…I ain’t going inside

I’m trying to decide which of those things is unusual, the 7 stars or the going outside to pee.

way to dig deep man. I need to take inspiration from your ability to let go

you’re on track, that pic is a 4.5” on a full size frame

That’s really sad to hear. They use to be great, and easy to work with, including non routine questions. I stopped buying direct about 3 years ago when sales tax and shipping charges hit as prices were already higher in general. But today, we are also getting back into a glut phase with AR prices down significantly. The margin squeeze is likely having them pull back and not replacing staff lost to post pandemic effect / remote. And possibly reducing staff further on anything non-production. The industry trend to deprioritize customer service is real unfortunately. Seeing phone support go to email only at first. The last few left seem to be running small staff. I was talking to the CS at Colt the other day…and he confirmed he was the only one. Reminds me of years ago before they went belly up and CZ bought / saved them. The product has improved, but keeping cost down on that end. Anyone currently waiting with Sig on one of their promised free gun rebates especially knows what zero support feels like.

Hard find. Gunbroker sold prices are approx $2000+ for NIB ones like this. These were more $$$ than standard and loaded models.

Wow. The guy literally had only one job at the point the detector sounded off. No wands apparently? On the upside, they know the metal detector works.

I can ship to buyer’s FFL on buyer’s dime. As far as west, I mentioned I can meet within a reasonable distance. Imo that’s maybe up to an hour. My truck and I don’t really care where the compass points

I mean, I know @FUJIMO works fast....but damn

I’ve had the same kind of experience as you @willki. To get more out of it, you have to interact with interim result sets and direct it to get best results. I’m unsure how someone can get a full program out it as referenced. Programs tend to be very environment and data model specific normally…. but likely down to the interaction and information shared with it. I am limited as i can’t share data models. After years of working in SQL Server environments and transitioned to one with DB2 and straight ANSI sql, I love when it can translate to DB2 specific things with its set of misnomers and interesting attempts to emulate a SQL Svr method. I especially love throwing it a showy regex function that one of the IBM fans is super proud of and it tells me what it actually does with an example without having to look up its nonsensical control characters. Huge time saver. As far as the idea subs have of dumbing down. it’s no different than an encyclopedia on concept. The store of all human knowledge, but easier. Nothing wrong with readily accessible. My wish is it wasn’t censored.

agree, AI ‘s ability to cut to the chase and deliver usable results has noticeably improved for the tech sector. I was having some challenges connecting a third party client to Google BigQuery and it was helpful though it did not give a specific solution. The footnoted references saved a couple hours of scrolling thru search engine results. I love that it can save big time on emails. I find work emails a pain point. PC concise emails without significant rewriting are a challenge. when I remember, I give highlights and voila! Just have to remember to use it up front versus realizing 20 minutes into writing one and debating word choices. It probably would have made this post better too
