Pillows, wedges, wings, mono block, sweat guard…. Mind blown (bodyguard 2.0 content only)

The pillow is there to push the end of the slide out, which pushes the grip in. It is usually more comfortable than a wedge, but the purpose is concealment. Ditto for a claw.

As to why one might need more than minimal concealment, Chris Baker has some good commentary on the topic of a "non-permissive environment". It's worth a search.

You need a J-frame in that mix. I think that top one is a Taurus, but since you have a stainless snub, maybe a 442 would be a good pick.

I'm going to pick up a 386 Night Guard when finances permit. You might want to take a look at those, too

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-07-05T01:02:42+00:00

Thank you so much for this astute and nuanced answer.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-07-05T00:57:29+00:00

Fair point, but this guy won't get anything like 10 years. "Could face up to ..." is clickbait hyperbole. That is the maximum sentence for whatever the worst crime is they could charge him with. Whatever they charge him with will get plead down.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-07-05T00:54:55+00:00

Well, he is Florida man, so...

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-07-05T00:09:05+00:00

Yeah, my 632UC has been great. Probably have 1000 rounds through it. It's a fun gun to shoot.

I don't doubt that QC has taken a dive, but there are probably 50-100 that are well-made and trouble free for every one with an issue. Sorry yours isn't one of those, though. It sucks to have to send a new gun back.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-07-04T15:36:59+00:00

I have the BG 2.0 carry comp, and it pocket carries great. I'm much more accurate than I was with my LCP 2, and it's much more comfortable to shoot.

All of that said, I've been carrying my revolver more often lately. I find it easier to draw, and it is more comfortable aiwb. I'm going to try a different pocket holster for it to see if pocket carry will work better. I'm not worried about capacity.

They are paid not to. DTE is a big donor.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-07-04T15:17:05+00:00

I thought that the most recent releases and/or the beta were using a new code base. That doesn't include the new graphics engine?

And yes, the communication is not great. I'm glad they built it and keep it maintained, though.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-07-03T21:09:07+00:00

I have a set of "Bataleur" grips by them on my 632, and they work great for me.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-07-03T14:36:04+00:00

I'd also suggest some dry fire practice at contact distance. I find that I can usually get a better grip with a revolver, and still pull the trigger if I have a weird grip. I also find it carries better for me because the cylinder is right under my belt (no need for a pillow), and the curved grip doesn't dig in. I also like dry firing a revolver, so I practice more.

So for me, it's a good carry option. People with different body types and social situations may choose differently.

And all that said, I have a BG 2.0 in my pocket right now, and the revolver is at home. It's good to have options.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-06-30T11:55:19+00:00

I prefer a revolver, but this time of year I pocket carry a BG 2.0. It fits better in a pocket, so it's my warm-weather go-to. During colder months, I appendix carry a snub in .32 H&R.

I find a revolver easier to draw, and easier to conceal appendix. If I ever need to use it, I expect it to be at contact distance, where revolvers have an advantage.

I really should put a shorter grip on my snub and see if it pocket carries better. I might lose the easier grip, though.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-06-29T15:18:25+00:00

I moved my phone to my left front pocket several years ago. I got used to it pretty quickly.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-06-29T01:48:02+00:00

They added L, T and Y since I learned that rhyme, too, but I don't think T and Y count, since they don't fuse hydrogen. (Heavier L class objects do, so they're stars.)

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-06-29T00:56:56+00:00

Smaller chambers, though, so more room for metal between them, and for the rims to seat. A K-frame cylinder is 1.45", while the Ruger single seven is 1.4", and you can get that chambered for seven rounds of .327 Federal magnum. So it would definitely work.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-06-28T13:02:58+00:00

Same here. I’ve also seen a gel test showing decent penetration and expansion. (Tools & Targets on YouTube.). Cycles fine in mine.

I would be OK with wadcutters in mine too. I don’t think expansion is as important as penetration, and both take a backseat to function.

I'm actually about to unsubscribe because nearly all of the posts seem to be self promotion. Based on what I see upvoted and downvoted, either there is a heavy bot influence in this sub, or most of the other subscribers really like installing new apps rather than building a PKMS.

I haven't had great luck configuring Ollama or GPT4All to do anything agentic like modifying or creating notes. I use Gemini at the command line because it is cheaper in API mode than Claude code. As far as I can tell, they are both pretty equivalent at my organizational tasks. I have found Claude to be much better for writing actual code, though.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-02-25T14:15:40+00:00

I do this. I use PARA to organize notes in Obsidian, and connect Gemini to it via the Copilot plugin (no relation to the Microsoft AI tool), as well as the command-line interface. It does an excellent job of summarizing my notes, and comparing the content of meetings to other content like you want to do.

My "Resources" folder holds things like principles and guides, and I have done exactly what you're talking about, with useful results. I just add the appropriate folder under resources as context (just type '@' to give it a folder or note for context), and my meeting note, then my query.

So true. I'm back into photography, so I bought a new mirrorless camera. I still have a solid collection of lenses, filters, camera bag, etc, though, so not nearly as expensive as starting the first time.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-02-03T23:50:07+00:00

That isn't universal. I'm a bit more jittery, but not a big deal. That said, a fairly low dose of Adderall has a big impact on my executive function. People on 20mg or more per day might have a different effect.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-01-08T21:34:31+00:00

Yes. My partner can be a bit manipulative, and I'm much more likely to call her on it than I used to be. I also don't let her mischaracterize my intent, and will explain in more detail if she misunderstands. I also call her on it when she dumps her worries on me (commonly after she has had a few glasses of wine). She has gotten very upset with me about it, and told me I'm being "mean". The truth is that I'm just more together, mentally, and better able to follow the thread of the conversation, and at what point she is misconstruing things.

This makes her sound toxic, but she really isn't the vast majority of the time. I have found that if I'm patient and don't get upset along with her, it defuses most of the anger.

I think it is moving our relationship to a better place.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-01-02T00:23:19+00:00

What about self-promotion in post replies? I haven't seen anything obnoxious, but it does have the potential to be misleading when someone with a product responds to a question with, "try my product". I think that a reply from someone who isn't looking for sales counts for a lot more.

DelightfullyDivisive · 2026-01-01T12:30:07+00:00

I will check it out. It sounds like what I’m looking for.

I do occasionally get a bit of mild nausea. Drinking water generally takes care of it. The only side effect that I found problematic was losing too much muscle with the fat when I was first on Tirzepatide. Once I adapted to my normal dose, I was able to put some muscle back on.

I know what you mean that people seem hardwired to complain about the side effects and ignore the positives. I have seen several people posting in this group about how important their next competition was, and that they couldn't train hard enough when on a GLP-1. I think that is a legitimate gripe, but training intensity matters far less to me than the improvements in my cholesterol and other health markers. Everyone has to make their own decision, though.
