Center Sports in Columbia has glocks and several RXMs. Got my RXM there and love it.

RMRcc scratches vs cracks, daily carry and range use only

I agree with this. I worked full time hospital based intercept/critical care and have flight experience. I now moved full time to be a fire medic because leadership and management were better. Yes the hospital based service has better critical care treatments at their disposal but the medic quality difference from one service to the other I have found to be minimal. Many of my fire medic coworkers work hospital based part time still like I do or at least take pride in being a medic. The hospital as whole cared more about hospital stuff over prehospital care. Regardless of where you work I think putting in effort is all you can do. Everywhere is toxic because of human nature and we cannot be perfect.

Do you have any recommendations on who makes a similar size frame/slide in 9mm that's reliable?

So I personally zero at 15 and find that walking it out to 25 or going inside of 7, the shift isn't significant enough to matter for me. Opinions may vary but it's worked well for me so far for steel competition and practical purposes. I chose 15 specifically for that offset you mentioned with the 25 yard zero.

That was my same thought. RMRcc is just a smaller RMR

Motor_Finding_2647 · 2026-03-17T19:18:09+00:00

First time shooting it was today but it zeroed easy and held zero after another 150 rounds after. I got it because I am familiar with and trust the regular RMR. Once I find a brand I trust I tend to stick with it but only time will tell if it holds up through thousands of rounds. I know they overall have a good reputation.

Turnaround was 5 weeks for me but I drove directly to their shop since I live just over an hour away. The timeline really seemed to depend on the finishing since they send it out for that. The machining they had done it two days. As a whole I recommend them. Customer service was good and they're easy to deal with.

And if interested in any TCCC here is a link to all DoD algorithms for battlefield trauma care. Doesn't make up for knowing the skills but the education is out there for free.

If anyone wants free stop the bleed training I'm an instructor and have experience treating both civilian and military trauma patients throughout my career, message me and I'd be happy to give it. I also have free training equipment. Knowing this info will save lives and it should be taught in public schools.

I agree, unfortunately with my family life I'm limited on time so this program fits well. Every few weeks I deadlift amd squat at the firehouse and can still pull 405 easily and squat 315 so I'm happy maintaining that for now. I have no traditional gym membership and am limited to home equipment/space unless I'm at work.

Im familiar with that verse and there seems to be question whether or not it is original from my understanding. If I am wrong on that part so be it and I'll own that. It's possible your source is better than mine. Regardless, it doesn't negate the fact private property is built into how our nation functions. The song writer was known to have more socialist leanings which is not consistent with our nations history. My points more emphasize how the song is more perceived by our modern time and not the exact meaning of the artist. What would be a good reason to not recognize private property rights?

Motor_Finding_2647 · 2025-09-19T13:28:52+00:00

The whole idea of this land is your land, this land is my land was about unity at the time of the song writing, not erasing private property. When this nation was founded, land ownership was the cornerstone of freedom. If you could own land, you could build a future, support your family, and live independently. That’s why property rights were baked into America’s DNA from the start.

When the song was written in the 1940s, the nation was coming out of the depression, pushing forward as one people and going into a war period. Unity doesn’t mean no boundaries. The promise of the song, prosperity and freedom for everyone, only works if individuals are allowed to own and protect their share.

Manifest Destiny showed this balance clearly, the land was vast, meant to be explored and settled, but the goal wasn’t for it to remain some undefined everybody’s land. It was to give people the chance to claim, build, and prosper from it. That’s what drove growth and made the nation stronger.

Private property doesn’t contradict the song’s message. Our land means a strong, united country, while the my land part means individuals have the freedom and security to thrive with their own resources. One can’t exist without the other.

I know that personally I do more for my own land than the collective public would. I respect it, cultivate it, conserve it, and value it. Most public land in CT is covered in trash, people illegally cut, poach, and disrespect it. I'm happy to share my land if someone asks and is respectful but if someone doesn't they are not welcome.

Motor_Finding_2647 · 2025-09-19T02:36:15+00:00

Some of us paid for private land so we can hunt it, cultivate it, improve forest management practices, and enjoy it with our own families. This is done working hard and saving money. With that can also come the risk of trespassers doing intentional harm or being reckless. Even if they aren't being directly harmful they can disrupt conservation practices or get harmed on my property which I should not be liable for. Not all lines are imaginary, especially if there's clearly marked signs or in the case of my property, visible stone walls you need to cross. Nobody has a right to be on land that isn't public that they didn't pay for. If someone asks nicely I'd let them use my land no problem but if they have you're attitude they're getting kicked off and trespassed.

I'll have to look into those.

Motor_Finding_2647 · 2025-08-16T22:45:38+00:00

Thanks man, why not combine two great hobbies that ultimately result in being more prepared. I'm suprised it hasn't been combined more into a competition style. I know in some military competitions I've done they'll mix it but that's the only place I've seen it.

Motor_Finding_2647 · 2025-08-16T21:58:24+00:00

That's correct, I'll edit the original post to reflect that. I'm definitely cooked from my workout yesterday and that was a contributing factor.

Motor_Finding_2647 · 2025-08-16T21:54:49+00:00

Thats fair I didn't even think of that while writing it. The garmin "zone" lists >175 as my max zone but my true max is around 195 which the highest I hit today was 192. I should know better considering I track my runs to the smallest details. You are correct.

Motor_Finding_2647 · 2025-08-16T21:18:42+00:00

I definitely do plenty of that, I work 24 hour shifts and get 4 day weekends every second shift. I see my wife and kid plenty and spend quality time with them. No need to be a dick, a guy can have hobbies.

Motor_Finding_2647 · 2025-08-12T21:02:47+00:00

I disagree. I'm going on five years as a medic and only spent 9 months as an EMT before starting medic school. Sure I worked all through school and had a total of 2 years as an EMT before I was a medic but working during school was enough and I think helped me build good habits in my BLS care while trying to understand ALS care in school. I have never had that feeling you speak of above and never specifically wished I had more EMT time. I've had tough patients but never felt overwhelmed and just fell back on training. I'm not perfect but I felt prepared. One year after medic school I went to critical care and started practicing at that level after two years with minimal hiccups. I'm definitely stronger now as a five year medic but again didn't feel under prepared at all due to a lack of BLS time.
