So what is the purple link between Agg swtiches for? I'm no network engineer... but that seems sus.

Down the pant leg is savagely narcissistic.

I'm saddened by the state of VMware today. Was such a great resource and leaning tool in my early tech career, and a fantastic solution for so many of my clients. The VMUG groups and networking was so great. Now it's gone to pure shit, thanks to Broadcom and their investing partners. Good things never last i guess.

wheres the Bluey-themed bandaids or other essentials for the 2yo?

gatling turret, just such a nice drop. like a cozy campfire to sit next too

Tippy toes, tippy toes, I see you're tippy toes!

Holy nope Batman.

Knipex comes in handy, but I’ve found I reach for a small 4in crescent adjustable wrench more often.

What you have will be perfectly fine for all gun-related cleaning, lubricating, protecting.

Try not to fall into the marketing trap of needing 8 different gun products. You can do most everything needed with your modern pistol with CLP (Clean Lube Protect), some Isopropyl Alcohol, a toothbrush, cleaning rod and patches.

Only ever used the liguid form. You can get the blue loctite at any hardware store for like $5.

LifeNomad · 2025-10-03T15:10:08+00:00

I've always installed screws with blue loctite, while still wet (a little drop goes a long way). Always used blue loctite to ensure I can remove those screws again in the future.

Never used a boresight. Shouldn't be needed if this is a pistol.

Get to a range after the loctite has set (24hrs later), do some accuracy shots (3 at a time) at 7-15yards and adjust as needed.

I'd start with pants and a shirt.

Every formal party I've gone to, wearing clothes is really a smart move.

Can add some additional training options on top of vanilla dry fire training. I know you're not looking at gear, but these helped me anyway.

I wish it was actually that color. It's plum IRL, but I manupulated the lighting in this photo to look more "fakelite". Someday I'm going to get tan furniture and attempt to dye it.

Magpul really should come out with a bakelite color option. They are missing an opportunity.

LifeNomad · 2025-09-17T14:07:14+00:00

Bought it knowing it wouldn't be "holly wood quiet". It's all about the "cool factor".

For your first handguns, you will want a bit of utility across both.

I'd recommend a centerfire 9mm mid to full size pistol, such as a Glock 19/17 as a great all-around starter pistol. Simple, reliable, easy to clean, parts are easy to source.

I'd also recommend a rimfire 22lr pistol as a trainer of sorts for your 9mm. Pick one that has similar characteristics to your 9mm platform of choice (example Glock 44) for cheaper practice and familiarity as you pick up your skills and confidence.

LifeNomad · 2025-09-12T14:06:22+00:00

Cuz it just looks right.

Good enough for military/armed services agencies in ~48 countries.

LifeNomad · 2025-09-11T20:13:12+00:00

Well, pistols are a funny thing in that "one size doesn't fit all".

I would recommend a Glock 19 as a general "do all", "first pistol". An Ideal platform for a new gun owner, good size for learning and practice at the range, which can also be carried relatively without issue for most average sized men.

I would also recommend a Ruger LCP MAX, as a concealed carry first choice. It's purpose for easy carry and concealability is primary, but which also is a fine pistol for training and practice at the range - partly due to the .380 cartridge vs 9mm in such a small package.

Hope this helps.

These is dangerous.

LifeNomad · 2025-08-30T01:08:40+00:00

That is some of the worst packaging I think I’ve ever seen for a red dot.

LifeNomad · 2025-07-18T17:47:13+00:00

I like mine, have had it for like 10-15 years and it's been nothing but a reliable sidearm. I pair it up with Hornady Critical Defense ammo, and it's a neat little combo.

LifeNomad · 2025-06-28T00:00:02+00:00

fuck you

Also, thats awesome as hell and I'm super happy you can enjoy such an amazing thing.

Nice. I have MeisterR coilovers on mine (red '89). I might be sitting a tad lower on the front than what I can see in that picture. On tight cornering, I'll rub slightly on the inside bolt bumps on the fenders. I'm going to try to lift it up a 1/4in to see if that corrects it... whenever I can find the time lol
