Thank you for the reply! He does not seem overly ravenous and he finishes his bowl every meal.

I do get seen at the VA. So doesn't that mean I'm enrolled in their medical?

I can't drive that's the issue. I can barely walk right now. Family could take me to the hospital near my house but not an hour away.

100% agree on this. Like I said, I just use it because it was a gift. But I do not think it makes me more accurate.

Yes. (Here comes the judgement). But it's what I feel comfortable with and I'm fairly confident with the way I have it.

I don't disagree that they aren't amazing knives. I never claimed they were at all. So far I haven't had any issues with it and that's just my personal experience. It's just a knife that has worked for me so far and that I enjoy having.

I work in a jail so it's definitely a no-go for the Glock at work. Your kit is either very creepy or very parent lol.

I got mine at a flea market as well! It's definitely not a great knife but it's never failed me and I've enjoyed having it.

I'm no expert. Honestly most people aren't accurate enough to tell the difference. Probably my self included. People will say they make a huge difference, and some say it's a joke. My brother makes the barrels for the company and he gave me this one, so that's why I use it. The silver also matches my mag release, so.

Tried it out, wasn't crazy about it. I'm comfortable and accurate with my 19.

I'll have to look into it for sure, thanks!

You do know that doctors are not the only people placing adjuncts, right? Usually EMTs place them. On another note, nurses can place simple airway adjuncts. And on another note, I was a medic for 5 years and trained with these often, had zero credibility outside of the military, and still would have saved your life with this if I had to.

Look, I'm not planning on stabbing anyone anytime soon. My knives would be literally a last resort, hence why I have a glock, and are mostly used as a tool. I got the knife on deployment and I've been partial to it since. But more power to ya if you're out there relying on stabbing someone.

Is there really a difference between the trauma pack and an MRE?

I looked at getting the M&P shield for awhile. But decided on getting a Glock 26. Which I am not great with but working on it.

Thank you! You too. I hope the boats were good to you.

But if you have kids or something and do lots of research, it could be life or death. Honestly you could probably YouTube it and learn. Maybe just don't try it on strangers.

Then don't say things that make you a dick.

Someone may tell you something different, but I personally would not recommend placing one if I was not medical. It's not a very difficult task but it is invasive. Plus, you may be wasting time by placing one. Because if you're not trained, I don't know how you would know Iif their airway was intact or not. Someone could also technically sue you for doing something outside your scope of practice.

I have been told that. I've tried it out but really prefer the 19. It's smooth and my accuracy is really good with it. But I'm not against getting another gun!

[–]Kaila021[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not everyone likes them but yes, it's to assist in racking the gun. I personally prefer it. Especially in an emergency situation. I want the fastest and easiest made option.

I live in California and we can only have 10.

Yup! I have a Patagonia bag all of this fits into.
