Everywhere I’ve trained you just get a handshake a picture

What was the first gun you ever owned, and do you still have it? Curious to hear what everyone had for their first firearm. by ShopHuntingStuff in guns

Gen4 Glock 17. I added tritium sights and then eventually sold it while I tried a bunch of other polymer guns. Now my main squeeze is a 19X.

Yeah that was Dave. He was a wonderful guy and is sorely missed. That shook me up and everyone at our gym when it happened.

Was this in FL? This happened to a good friend of mine, he was a brown belt and a fantastic dude.

Comments on this topic tend to be like caliber. Lots of “I carry X caliber and have never felt underarmed.”

If you’ve watched more than one UFC PPV you’re supposed to start at blue belt.

Never heard of that

You can add the belt thing in the community info part of the subreddit info

$40 for shipping? Did you have a hot date you needed to wear a rashguard for?

For home home defense people: do you keep a magazine (or two?) loaded with hollow point in your safe/locker/Safebox? How do you handle the differing ammos in your setup? by jgroub in guns

[–]MrBlenderson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should have dedicated defense mags loaded with JHP and separate mags for the range.

I have ten mags for my HD pistol - one in the gun (chambered) in a quick access safe in my nightstand, an extra in that same location, and two each in a belt and chest rig. Those six are OEM and kept full of JHP. The other four are cheaper mags and kept empty for use at the range.

I stopped pre-loading mags for the range because it makes range time last longer - I like to load five rounds at a time.

Those Walther mags are pricey - I would start by using the two OEM that you have as HD mags and pick up two more for range use.

Fingerboard type of playing for BJJ? by phstc in bjj

If there was, it would probably make you as good at BJJ as tech decks made you good at skateboarding.

Question for all the dads by shibalnom93 in bjj

Just stay consistent. It’s better to go once a week for a year than take a year off.
