I did two things on Sunday I thought I would never do:
- I bought a Glock
- I bought a Glock…on GunBroker
Its a project I’ve been putting off long enough and quite frankly I no longer can justify to myself why I should not do this. I picked up a Glock 19x frame, in baby shit brown. Because the 19x is the new hotness, and baby shit brown is still the hotness. I’ll post a pic eventually of the finished project as I will be going custom. My one question is anyone here have any experience with the Tyr Trigger and how it might compare with the Apex? Because I live within 2 minutes of Glockmeister HQ and I can pick this up locally. It also looks to me like Apex uses more polished surfaces to smooth it out, which is something I can replicate without trying to source a Gen 5 compatible Apex trigger, which is hit or miss because Gen 5 is the new hotness.
First world problems, amirite?
FACT CHECK! Kevin McCarthy claims President Brandon only visited the US-Mexico border only once. FACT CHECK! Brandon indeed visited the US-Mexico border once last January. FACT CHECK! Brandon has visited the US-Mexico border multiple times during the Obama administration. FACT CHECK! Kevin McCarthy is a goddamn liar whose testicles should be nailed to a post while still attached to his decrepit body. FACT CHECK! Brandon is working on the problem!
I let the fùtbol do the talking for me.
In other news Title 42 is over, and Mark Cohen’s mustache got hella bushier since he was promoted from 12 News Sports.

I have an Apex kit in a M&Pc, and I effin luv it.

This. Apex, or leave it factory.

I bought a Glock
I hate Glock.
The grip angle gives me fits and makes me shoot even worse than normal.
I liked the Springfield XD and S&W M&P striker-fired pistols. But I eventually went to a 1911 instead.
So do I.
The PSA Dagger frame feels so much nicer, but their hinged trigger…ick.
Haven’t found one locally to play with. The aftermarket frames I found to be a bit…cheap. Hence the Glock frame.
Wait, I was assured earlier today on this site that the Glock 19 is a revolver.
That’s incorrect. It’s a lever action.
An automatic lever action. Duh.
Get back to vacation, you!
Sitting in my hotel room drinking a bottle of Paulaner Hefe. Das leben ist gut.
Happy vacay, MikeS.
Prosit!
If this existed and this existed, I’m sure we can come up with an automatic lever-action.
It’s a break action
Its an assault weapon of mass murder.

Lulu really does like to steal from the Dems playbook. Sending Venezuelan commies to the whitest part of Brazil (who probably went for Bolsonaro in a big way) is perfect. I’ll wager he’s fortifying enough states to ensure his party never losses again.
Are they commies or refugees from the commies?
Refugees from their voting choices?
“I actually remember seeing people doing this as a kid”
In the 90s I remember seeing people on the Mexican side of the wall in Tijuana peering over the top looking for an opportunity to make a run for it. Back then the Border Patrol actually tried to capture them and return them rather than giving them a mobile phone and a hotel room.
I was supposed to go to the range with the neighbor to test the Glock 43, but he ain’t home yet and it’s fixin to thunder. 😠
I have a G27 and find that I really needed the pinky grip baseplate extension. I don’t like having that last finger hanging free.
I also use a grip glove to put a little bulge into the palm, and give the finger grip ridges (my Glocks are all gen 1)
I love it when you talk dirty to me.
I have lady hands…I liked the feel when I gripped it 😏
What day were you stopping in Bennington (Brrattleboro?)?

It only took a week to get my internet working again! No more worrying about running outta Data! Woohoo! Just in time for my last day of vacation. 🐌🦅
Huzzah!
“Just in time for my last day of vacation.”
Does this mean you can work from home?
No, my work has to be on the system, which is air-gapped.
But now I’m back to the BLAZING speed that the only provider I can get without data caps provides, 5.91 Mbps! WOOOSH!
Data limits have been the bane of my existence for the last year
My $94 a month service got upgraded from 20 Mbps to 50 Mbps this year. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
Almost assuredly thanks to taxpayers, my $92/month internet is gigabit.
We’re around 400 MBPS for $90/month. Cable internet from *spit* Xfinity. The service is actually good – pretty stable, not much downtime at all. No data limits.
So what’s the score of the Cal game?

But Brazil has become a popular choice for many Venezuelans partly because of a five-year-old program that offers eligible applicants work permits and even free flights to faraway parts of the huge country. Approvals into the program have surged in the post-pandemic period.
“Work permits”. If they’re working, they might not be actual Communists.
Thanks for all the info. Haven’t had a good chance to reply to you. It’s all been taken under advisement. I’ll do my best to give you an update when I get a chance.

Surprisingly, the S&G is less heinous.
“New Yorkers love to shed their winter layers as soon as the first signs of spring hit the city. But for women who take advantage of sundress season, the much-anticipated warm weather can also bring unwanted attention.”
What’s the point of wearing attractive outfits if you don’t want attention?
They don’t want unattractive guys looking at them, just the hot guys. Duh.
Be attractive.
Don’t be unattractive.
Yep.
Just because I’m dressed this way…
Like a sleeve of tattoos. I’ve been asked more than once “what are you looking at?” in a confrontational manner.
Watched an interesting argument at a CEO networking event between an artist and a structural engineer. He asked her what the glaringly obvious tattoos on her tits meant and she took offense.
Somewhat surprisingly, the women in attendance told her that if she didn’t want to be asked about it then she should have covered it up.
“I was so disgusted by the Jan. 6 riot that I deleted my Twitter account. I wrote introspective pieces on wanting to be part of the solution. (And I never liked Trump, and I thought Biden beat him.)
The Durham Report is 100x worse than Jan. 6. It didn’t reveal a handful of nuts getting out of hand & stealing a lectern.
It revealed our highest law enforcement agency trying to undo an election on ZERO evidence.
It didn’t disrupt a formal nomination proceeding for 3 hours. It disrupted a presidency for 3 years.”

So the two biggest stories about Trump, that went on for years, ad nauseum, were fake shit staged by the government.
Hey dipshit, the Jan 6 riots happened because of the things you’re now upset about.
It may be worse but it’s not as photogenic. The Jan 6 riot made for great video which has far more emotional resonance.
Anybody ever connect with Trigger Hippie after his cryptic response a month or so back?

A solution is forthcoming, but it may take several days to get there. So, batten down the hatches, mateys, there’s rough seas ahead.
It’s a good exercise for developing patience. It’s so funny how pissed I get when I have to wait for anything online.

Lia Thomas still has a cock and balls. And no tits. And went through male puberty. And has male physiology and secondary sexual characteristics. But other than that, the comparison is hilariously apt. Well done.
As far as I can tell, the only thing William did to become Lia is grow out his hair. Maybe hormones? something got fucked up in his face too seems like – he was a decent looking young man and is an ugly “woman”.
Not enough hormones to prevent him from fucking his AFAB gf.

While it’s nice to see some pushback on woke corporate politics, to be perfectly honest, I’d be really fucking psyched if the managers and executives of companies that sell products to the general public just shut the fuck up about political and social issues entirely and just focused on peddling their wares. Jesus Christ, doesn’t anybody have personal friends and family anymore to whom they can vent their thoughts, feelings and opinions without having to have every fucking thing validated on Twitter? Is there really nobody who just wants to buy the best quality shit at the fairest price without having their purchase reflect some higher moral and political meaning?
Dude, that’s what proles do. Elites trumpet their virtues.
Once again, it’s due to nihilistic emptiness. In the absence of any true beliefs, values or faith, people become Hoffer’s True Believers. Western Elites have the easiest, most abundant lives in human history. They must fill the hole somehow.
Agree but they (all sides) do this to chase more sales.
With a more niche product category like guns and ammo that makes a certain amount of sense since there’s an inherent political element involved due to the gun control issue. Not only can you afford to piss off the political left, since they’re very unlikely to be your customers anyway, but it might even build better rapport with your existing customers (at the very least, as long as it satisfies more of them than it pisses off you’re still ahead). With things like banking services, or beer, or food, or retail sales… all I can say is it’s a very different world than when I studied market segmentation in college.
But the younger generations really care about companies that care.
H&K is shit. They’re no better than Taurus and cost 4x as much.

Ever since this incident you don’t hear much about it, but presumably they’re still using them.

I really want to buy an M1A Socom…
…but $1700…
…then again, I’ve also wanted to just bite the bullet (so to speak) and get a Colt Commando SBR…
…$1100 + $200 stamp + NFA bullshit…
…opinions?
(I know you all are going to say “buy both!”; believe me I would, but I seriously only have a budget for one or the other)
Maybe if you spent less on tits….
I didn’t like the Socom. Open sites are fine, any type of scope is very awkward with the rail so far forward . I also don’t like sliding exposed bolt on the right side of the stock.
You need something you can place a few inches forward, like an Acog or red dot of some kind.
I want to buy a different kind of thing for shooting … an 18-35mm lens. Price about the same.
With eFile, NFA bullshit isn’t as much of a big deal as it used to be. Which is good, ’cause that Colt Commando will suck ass to shoot unless it has a can on it.
I’ve seen a few reviews of the SOCOM and they weren’t good. Heavy, awkward to use and inaccurate. And expensive.
They look cool, though.
I liked shooting the Socom a lot less than the regular sized M1A / M14.

The second thing shouldn’t have been fucked up, but I ended up having to do the project a different way, which I didn’t think I’d be able to, but I found a way.

Who was going to de-fog their headlights this weekend? Were you successful?
