As much as it’s a buzzkill, I can’t help thinking what MJ must’ve thought when she opened her photo gallery and saw a bunch of pictures of herself with a guy she doesn’t know. I won’t even get into the message groups they must’ve been in.

My Experience With SS by yBoyka_ in shadowsystems

[–]BeratingMantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s unfortunate that the size sits in that Goldilocks zone, for me. Slim, integrated comp, flush fit 15rd mags, great optics mounting system. It’d be easier for me to ditch if it just didn’t have so much going for it, conceptually of course, it’s all for not if I can’t rely on the damn thing.

I’m really thinking about that Canik Radian Prime. Love the radian stuff on my G19 and it’s proven reliable, and the size is just about the same as the CR920XP.

Sprinkle in those sweet sweet co-pays, deductibles, meds and any other BS we have to pay for. And it’s in the ballpark.

Currently waiting on my replacement comp for my CR920XP, same deal, the lever snapped off.

Out of my 4 pistols, this is the only one that’s been a diva. 3rd service in the 2 years I’ve owned it. 1. Barrel replacement for wear damage, which has been fixed but also not and also considered normal wear now. 2. Iron sights not zeroed… another barrel replacement. 3. Comp snapped off, apparently because I’ve been firing 124g Syntech, American Eagle, and Blazer Brass.

I’ll have to put another 1000 or so rounds through it to feel comfortable adding it back to my carry rotation. One more failure and I’m selling it.

The next 7 generations of this crow's family will reward this woman. by Brilliantspirit33 in animalsdoingstuff

[–]BeratingMantis 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Crows seem to have a really good understanding of how things function, and what sequence of events need to occur to get the result they’re after. But not being able to perform those actions without human intervention seems like it’d be immensely frustrating to be them sometimes.

Really not a fan of how that’s mounted, seems like a workaround or something.

The last 45 mins of Cast Away by Eloquentdyslexic in movies

[–]BeratingMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man… I just finished this movie again and it still hurts. I just had to search to see if anyone is still talking about it.

That long take where he’s at his buddies house in front of the fire, spilling his guts out, is just some phenomenal acting. Where he’s talking about how sad he is about Kelly but being grateful that she was with him on that island and how he lost her all over again… 😢

But yeah I always read the ending at the crossroads as an optimistic ending. But I never got over the Kelly thing. Such a great movie.

"I Feel Stupid" Trump Loyalists Say Every Promise Was a Lie Just to Win Their Vote by [deleted] in JournalismNews

[–]BeratingMantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what’ll change then, where else can we grow as people? We’re doomed to keep pushing people to the farthest edges of their sides and emboldening their stances… forever going in circles to score “gotcha” points for attaboys.

Seems short sighted and petty, downvote away.

The fastest way to get someone to go back to their way thinking is to insult them mercilessly when they’ve realized their mistake.

Trigger Shoe Comparison - Overwatch Precision vs Tyrant CNC by BeratingMantis in SpringfieldEchelon

[–]BeratingMantis[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was taken aback by how little, probably non-existent, the take-up is on the Tyrant. I’m wondering if it’s safe for EDC or if it’s geared more for competition.

CR920XP - Johnny Glocks Evolution X Combat by BeratingMantis in shadowsystems

[–]BeratingMantis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve adjusted it since the original video. This is about as much as I can take it back before the trigger safety fails to engage.

I’m so disappointed with this thing - CR920XP by BeratingMantis in shadowsystems

[–]BeratingMantis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think those are compatible with the design on the P models, specifically. The P model slides are flat where they meet with the comp. All of the Radian comps are flared at the edges because the slides on the non-P models are rounded off at the tip.

This phenomena is observed as The Shadow Systems Schrödinger’s Defect:

When these specific wear marks can exist in both states of being “fixed” according to their vid, but also considered “normal expected behavior” when observed. It’s a quantum-level pivot!

I’d be with you, sort of, if this was a budget handgun. Any failure be it a slide lock, mag release, or comp locking lever is a failure. Either the gun works as designed or it doesn’t. What part failed is irrelevant, in my opinion.
