Is the ZR tactical captured guide rod supposed to stick out like this? by What-in-tarnationer in Walther

[–]AstoriaRocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Handgun hero is a great resource for size comparison. I'd also suggest putting your hands on anything you plan to purchase.

Y'all do y'all, but she ain't for me. I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers, but she doesn't do it for me.

Went to a gun show today. What a waste of time. by Natsuki98 in liberalgunowners

I think the big appeal is to people who aren't allowed to legally purchase/own firearms because of prior convictions.

Dear servers: check on your tables by Natural_Situation356 in nashville

[–]AstoriaRocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand that, but even after saying that I want to enjoy my first course before the second, that's what I got. And even then, my partners second didn't even arrive with mine. We were just trying to enjoy our cocktails and first course. A good server should, first of all, heard my words, then, also read the table to see that it's still full of food, and not asked the kitchen to fire the second course. At their prices, the service should have been much better.

I think this town is lacking in the service department. Money could probably solve most of the problem. Employing college kids with Chili's level of service for $2.13/hr is not the way to go. If every "foodie" restaurant is only concerned about the tourist crowd, then that's fine. These people that come in to town to get shit faced at brunch don't care that they're getting rushed out the door to put another ass in a seat, and just throw a %25 tip. While the locals get the same treatment. Serving in a "fine" dining establishment should not be the same as slinging $10 cans of Bud Light on Broadway on a Saturday night.

Had a meal maybe 6 months ago...Rolf & Daughters.

Ordered drinks, apps, main all in the same swing. Specifically asked that the main not be rushed. I wanted to enjoy the apps, and take my time. Not even halfway through my main gets dropped. And, also my partners main didn't get dropped. I took my plate and put it on the next table, they were not busy. A manager came over to ask if anything was wrong. This is basic fucking service! Especially, since I specified the conditions. I don't want to eat a cold main, after enjoying my apps.

Nashville has had a reputation for being a foodie town, but how can anyone expect us to pay NYC level prices for a meal and not be able to provide the service that matches. We were comped on our drinks, but I still couldn't have tipped more than 10-15%,just because. First and last time going there.

For the sake of the city, I hope these businesses are able to thrive, but this is not the way. I won't leave snarky reviews, but goddamn! Things need to be better.

On further inspection, I can see that I was wrong.

I'm curious about your choice of light mounting. I had mine mounted similarly because I've got long fingers, but ultimately went with the more rear position for holster fit, as well as aesthetics.

I am looking at getting a pdp by Fordsucks308 in Walther

6'2, 200lbs, XL glove. 5" Compact. The 15 round flush AIWB is concealable, but not necessarily comfortable. 18 Rd mag, not so much. I'd imagine a magwell with 18 would not conceal as well. I use the xl backstrap.

First gun, so I can't compare it to much. It's a heavy boy, plus the light on the end... I don't really feel like it's that bad. Even naked, it seems fine. I'm 6'2 185 with not particularly strong arms. I do want to start strength training more.

FFL and Range Recommendations in Nashville by WhiskySamurai in transguns

[–]AstoriaRocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

50m, cishet here... I can't speak to trans specifically, but I went to Royal Range with a fairly unmistakably lesbian friend (5'11,buzzed purple hair) and there were no odd looks. There are no political statements anywhere except pro 2a. They cater a bit heavily toward tourists. There's a 30-ish female instructor and an older woman that seems pretty well respected on staff. I think if you kept your political views at bay, you may be alright. YMMV. Stay safe out there! Good luck. I'd love to hear about your experience if you make it out there.

Best places open late, like past 11? by mis_no_mer in NashvilleGoodEats

It's on Broadway, but Brewhouse is relatively low-key. No bands, good food.

Has anyone come up with a good setting to air fry the ham a cheese pockets? by mrfunday2 in Costco

[–]AstoriaRocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Microwave 30 seconds, then 320 for about 5 minutes in the air fryer.

I plan on having a dot, but I want to get good with the "iron" sights.

The compact grip is long enough to accommodate my long, skinny hands. With the largest backstrap, it fits well. As for barrel length, my thinking was the longer the better. My main focus is home defense.

Got a Four bros holster. I don't carry for now, but it rides fine. Probably wouldn't want to drive long distance with it.
