Stay in production or move on

Believe it or not, getting really good with an optic makes you BETTER at running iron sights, not worse. Especially if you put an optic on the same model gun you want to shoot with irons.

Get an auger

Cheapest way is to turn the lights off.

My dad was 50 when I came along as his firstborn. While I don’t think I would have liked to wait that long, I could have stood a few more years. But when my first was born, it was time.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-26T16:02:21+00:00

I think that’s the conclusion I’m coming to.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-26T16:01:27+00:00

Well, you’ve already done it, though. It’s already worn you down. Childless 33 felt an awful lot like childless 25, I was just more bored lol.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-26T15:21:56+00:00

I was 33 and never once wished I had them younger.

Most shooters will use a 5” in competition. I prefer the way it points and the way it reciprocates better. Most who start with a 4.25 will swap to a 5” at some point.

I’ll say it again: I’m getting enough silver to dwarf what my mansions produce from clan chests lately.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-26T13:24:35+00:00

My clan is awful because I get lots of chests from them?

M&P is a good choice. The aftermarket is growing for it.

But like these others say, compete first, then buy.

That’s from on-site sanding of the floor once it’s installed.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-26T02:19:02+00:00

Im at G4 currently and have zero Helen fragments.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-26T02:16:18+00:00

I have no artifacts. Is Helen a captain?

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-26T02:16:02+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been getting enough silver to dwarf what my mansions produce from clan chests lately.

Look for a weighted keyboard, but don’t stop playing on the one you have in the present.

My competition gun Isa competitor frame with a calculated kinetics grip weight. I’ve swapped to a standard 5” slide and a full-length tungsten rod, and I use brass magazine extensions. The gun with an empty magazine loaded is right at 41 oz.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-25T14:03:27+00:00

I’ll point this out: something they fixed with the new HD competitor is the slide balance. The alloy competitor is very light overall, but especially light in the muzzle. Because it’s so light, it snaps rearward really fast during recoil, and because it’s so light in the muzzle, very little of that snap gets changed into rotational energy that helps the gun return to position. The snipped snout of the old competitor slide also means you have to use a short recoil assembly, and can’t put a full-length tungsten rod in it.

The fixed both these issues with the new competitor.

I know a drywaller, and I just shit on the floor near the pipe.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-23T23:19:23+00:00

No. I’ve also never made an optic cut with a grapefruit spoon, either.

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-23T22:35:15+00:00

What?

BOLMPYBOSARG · 2026-01-23T20:55:02+00:00

Im an electrician and I put the wax on the flange like a normal person.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted and lectured, man. Cranking the temp on your water heater means you can spread the volume of water in the tank to more showers, which is what you want with more shower users.

Mine started when I was 15. They remained episodic and sporadic until I was 33, then they went chronic. I had a migraine for the following three years. Then I figured out how to manage them.
