  1. Congratulations!! If I knew how awesome grandkids were, I would have skipped having kids and went straight to that.
  2. I used to have a membership with them. I was able to really stock up on ammo that year and better yet, due to the free shipping I could afford to get a couple of boxes of seldom used stuff online w/out taking one in the pills on shipping. I think it's worth it.
  3. I waited too long to finally try a Kore belt, but I've been wearing it for almost a month and I love it. I got the tactical w/ the X7 (smallest) buckle. I really dig the stiffener inside. This belt is worth every penny I paid for it.
  4. Sounds like it should cost more than $130. For that price, I'd like to have one. I hate carrying a traditional rest to the range as much as I hate sitting down to shoot or stooping over a low bench to shoot.
  5. Easy to spot with signs in plenty of time to exit.
  6. 100% !!!! That's the only reason I haven't tried it myself.
  7. I'm in the same boat about ergonomics. I don't dispute Glock's performance, I just despise the grip and grip angle.
  8. I rode the TN side numerous times on solo my motorcycle and in the Jeep with the family with the top down. It was nice. We stopped at most of the stops to see the sites. I went the full length with a couple of friends on motorcycles once. We fueled up our bikes and bellies in Tupelo, but got stuck between exits in a downpour within a few miles. By the time we found shelter we were soaked to the bone, so we just rode wet the rest of the way in the rain since we were already wet. It was still fun. The best parts of the trip were seeing the Spanish moss in trees once we got far enough south and on the way to check LA off our list we found a great seafood restaurant called Roux 61. It was awesome!
  9. If Glock had a half-sister, she couldn't be much uglier, LOL.
  10. I'm embarrassed to say it took me far too long trying to guess what rhymes with cake that would be so funny.
  11. No hazmat fees and free shipping for a case of primers at Target Sports USA right now. https://www.targetsportsusa.com/in-stock-primers-for-sale-c-2806.aspx That comes out to about $80 per 1000 for small pistol primers.
  12. gorgeous specimens, as always congrats @RED333, that one was my favorite
  13. I started to sign up for emails and they asked all those questions about your FFL # and FFL contact info. It dawned on me that I've never bought a gun online or used an FFL for delivery. Wow.
  14. I'm your Huckleberry!!
  15. Yeah, I was sorry to see that too
  16. You get to feel like you know someone after years on this site and what I know was all positive. I pray God brings him and his family peace and comfort.
  17. Very impressive!! I may have to go see my doc to ask about that.
  18. Any man who hasn't known the unconditional love and friendship of a dog is missing out on one of God's greatest creations. I'm sorry for your loss.
  19. These insurers use Utilization Management (UM) companies to save them money by doing exactly what you describe. The UM hires a doctor and statisticians to look at what the average patient in your situation needs. I've heard of them denying 24 PT visits and approving a re-evaluation after 10 or 12 visits, but I hadn't heard of them denying a prescription like that until now. That does sound like BS. Glad they caved in, but sorry you had to resort to threats. You're the customer and should be treated accordingly.
  20. I have a heater almost identical to that for my teardrop camper and it will run me out of there in no time. Their claims for a 350-450W heater to warm any room to 75° in 2 mins is preposterous though. It takes nearly 20 mins to warm my 10x5 camper. I still think it's a great heater for a small room, but not 20x20. I don't know if these are the size you're looking for, but I almost never buy anything w/out checking to see if Todd on Project Farm has done a review on what I'm looking at.
  21. Providers say they inflate their prices to account for the payors negotiating down the price. Then they should explain why self-insured patients pay the highest price of all for services. It sounds to me like buying a new car from the stealership, only a fool pays sticker price instead of negotiating. On an unrelated note: I work for a very close competitor of UHC. We had a virtual town hall meeting today and the CEO of our Fortune Top 20 company didn't speak. Her mouthpieces told us to avoid saying anything to defend our industry because it might make us a target of violence. In fact, they asked us to stay off social media altogether for the next week or so and that all communications will be scrutinized carefully by AI for the next few months. They offered counseling for anyone suffering from anxiety over our competitor's CEO's the murder. Then in the same breath they said don't worry, it's still perfectly safe to go into the NYC offices and all other sites.
  22. Webster says the importance of the victim is the difference between assassination and murder. Good to know that I don't have to ever be worried about being assassinated...one less thing to worry about.
  23. WHA? that one is cutting edge!

    Lasers on EDC

    At the range, the laser is not necessary. You have time to focus on the front sight and super-impose it over your target. In a critical situation I imagine it might be too dark to see my sights and/or my target is moving and/or I can't get into a perfect position. It seems that keeping an eye on the target and painting it with a dot, like @chances R said, might be my only hope of getting a good hit. Regardless, I like to have a laser even if I don't need it vs wishing I had one when I do need it.

    Lasers on EDC

    I'm glad you mentioned this. The first thing I learned when I put a laser on a pistol was that my grip/stance was nowhere near as steady as I thought it was. LOL That immediate visual feedback helped a lot with correcting my shooting.
