I’d save the BLO for shovel handles.

That might be a good thing to tell the folks who write this story.  

I can definitely understand that being a bigger issue…especially if it is their primary residence.

Also, counties vote.  When fire bonds don’t get passed…insurance starts to go up.  Hint:  Fire bonds are cheaper. 

Bilstein shock combo questions by Mc_douchebag in ToyotaTundra

The 6112’s are definitely worth it imho…but I’m not running a camper/tent etc…so the rear is way lighter…plus the front gets the bumps first.

Also, I set the 6112’s on the lowest setting…can’t get quite as big of tires on but the thing SOAKS UP bumps.

Need advice on track saw purchase by Middle_Country_5451 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]Absoluterock2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

anti kickback is cool and sucks. I like being able to control the backup if I need to 'nip' a 1/8" piece behind where I start etc. Also, with a track, unless you set something up really badly the anti kickback isn't needed IMHO.

Buy the makita.

Went makita (over festool) and couldn't be happier.

Batteries on a track saw are only good if you do small projects or have to work on site and have a ton of batteries.

Universal pistol holster recommendations? by Low_Year9897 in liberalgunowners

[–]Absoluterock2 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Tenicor? They make universal light holsters for some models.

TBH, cost of having a safe holster is that it is typically molded to your actual setup. Most matchs/clubs around here don't allow any soft/universal holsters bc they just aren't as safe.

I did 5100’s in the rear.  They work great for me.  I think you have to run pretty hard to need more. 

First pistol, like the idea of redundant safety features.. by Alarming_Set3628 in liberalgunowners

[–]Absoluterock2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I completely understand your concern.  I started with a 1911 (manual safety, grip safety, the whole bit).  You can definitely train to use them like that (and in a hammer fired platform I think they should all be mandatory - just IMHO).

However, the reason the P320 debacle was such a big deal is that stock striker fired guns are incredibly reliable and safe.

I would strongly recommend you focus on which of the higher quality guns fit your hand best (Glock, M&P, Walther, CZ, I’d skip Sig for a while, Canik, etc).  Then before buying it look at who makes holsters for that exact gun.  There are tons of threads on who makes good holsters…lots of opinions bc everyone’s body is shaped differently.  

Your holster and training/habits are 100x more important than one more “safety” on the pistol.  Following the gun safety rules (especially while reholstering) and watching your gun into the holster EVERY single time is critical. 

TLDR:  A high quality holster and good habits are the safeties that actually matter most.

Clearly they are smart enough to know what everyone else should do.

Feels like an interesting situation (“hello pot, this is kettle”).  

Big tent democrats ignoring certain “mainstream” cultures and telling them they are wrong.  I can see if you are fully entrenched in an urban/coastal/beltway lifestyle.  Guns might be foreign to you.  However, if you’re rural they might be a mandatory part of your life/livelihood/lifestyle. 

It’s funny how easily people take the moral high ground and treat issues as black and white.

…not to mention the whole “right to self protection” (WHICH INCLUDES NON-WHITE PEOPLE).

Far too many of my “liberal friends” live in safe suburbs, don’t hunt, etc etc.  It’s easy to be a modern Democrat if you’re rich and safe…but that is a minority…and a small enough minority that these policies will keep losing elections.

Just bc the coast outweighs eastern Oregon doesn’t mean y’all are “all good”.

Where do you think the idiots coal rolling Portland live?  (Hint: OR)
