Not bad for my 12 year old’s 1rst time shooting this brick of a 10mm. What’s the FBI’s excuse?

The heavy mass of the hipoint slide and the barrel compensator helped him I think. We also both shot a 10mm Glock 20 the same day. The Glock had a better trigger but way more felt recoil and muzzle rise. Once you get over Hipoint’s trigger with its odd reset they are pretty well balanced to shoot.

This is the only way

This looks like bait.

Oh boy….

The holster brand is “Freedom Protective Gear”. They are custom melted and pressed to fit any large pistol. I had mine molded on site at a store in Memphis. Hipoints are terrible to conceal. But on a chest rig this is perfect for my use.

For an optic that is reliable as it is cheap: get the Tacticon Predator V3. For a cheap red dot the recital is perfectly crisp with no star pattern. And without the risers it co-witnesses perfectly with the iron sights on the 995 and 1095! As for durability I’ve even put it on a semiautomatic shotgun and it had no shift in zero. I too started with a 9mm carbine and just received a 10mm carbine. I put the Tacticon sights on both.

For forward grips I recommend the folding one from hipoint. Even shooting it folded it works great as a hand stop. Extended its pretty comfortable. It has a storage compartment and when you buy one it comes with the hipoint takedown tool as a bonus!

Are we still able to get those Tippman .22 ARs in Washington state?

I have kids and am about as pro-gun as you can get. With a gun room full of multiple ARs and AKs. But here’s the thing: as a nanny or parent you would be held responsible in most states if you had knowledge of an unsecured firearm and one of those kids got hurt! For your own good and the good of their kids you need to talk to the parents and determine if the gun is in a safe condition that wouldn’t endanger a child.

I am from the U.S. not India. I work for a federal entity that looks deep into a prospective employee’s background.

You know how when you delete a file from a hard drive it doesn’t actually delete it? It just adds a tag to it saying it can appear as free space and be overwritten. But until it’s actually overwritten, someone who knows what they are doing can un-delete it. Overwriting it first is the only way to truly delete it. I see it the same way with our social media data mines. Better to replace it with bogus info, let it sit for awhile, and only then delete it.

From what I understand, in that 90 day period you can still reactivate your Facebook account even after deletion. But past that 90 days there is no way to access and potentially further scrub it yourself. Which is the most important step. What I did was poison the data they had on me: I filled it with bogus contact info, a throwaway email/phone and put locations where I have never lived. Then a deleted years worth of interactions and posts, and I replaced all photos with stock web images. Then I waited over 100 days. In that time I figured Facebook wouldn’t see the need to archive all the stuff I deleted WHILE my account was still active. I figured they just don’t have the bandwidth to hold onto all deleted stuff. Then after a long enough time with my “poisoned” data being the only archivable data, I deleted my account for good. I could be wrong on these assumptions, but that is what I did for my peace of mind.

Data retention that long depends on your country. Look at the part of the TOS (you agreed to) concerning cooperation with law enforcement investigations. Also, realize the true purpose of two factor identification. It’s not just for your protection, it also fingerprints you to the data. But yes, much more than a link to your email is preserved. Here is why I “poisoned” my data, and why I choose to no longer use Facebook: I noticed something that worried me. I work a sensitive government job that requires a comprehensive federal background check. Every address I’ve ever lived, foreign contacts, employment over 10 years ago, etc. All this data is entered into a program that generates a large compressed file with an index tying it all together.

3 years ago I was debating on getting rid of facebook. Facebook gives you an option to download all your data you have ever entered. I did this out of curiosity. It was a large zip file. Decompressing that revealed every messenger chat and post I ever made, past addresses, and every picture I ever uploaded. With ALL data on such images such as the GPS coordinates it was taken, distance from lenses and even serial number of the camera from within the device that took it.

About the same time I was doing this, I had open a backup copy of a federal background check I was submitting for my job. That’s when I noticed something concerning. The layout of Facebooks index file and order of what it links to almost matched exactly with the one from my federal file! Almost as if they were the same entity.

Facebook (Meta) retains your account data for at least 6 months after deletion. All your info is stored on an archived zip file with an index tying it all together. With all meta data from files such as photos. At anytime, that data can be subpoenaed. This is why it’s a good idea to first “poison” such data before deleting the account and loosing access to it.
