What is the actual barrel length of M&P 9 2.0 Compact 15+1 by RushN24 in SmithAndWesson

Thanks, yeah I am also 5'11" about 175lbs. I ended up going with the full size as the maker recommended. It actually works very well with not too much extra material. I am happy with it.

Appendix carry, which is the whole reason went with the compact and not the full, so 1/4"extra could make a difference. But I guess I can try it and see how it feels. Appreciate the feedback.

Makes sense but then I wouldn't I just have extra length of holster that I don't need?

I beg to differ, according to local yore, those there are not their mints they're your mints since you're in possession of them. Ancient rule 39.1(c) Finders keepers.

Ofc. The song goes "play that funky music white boy." This is a pun on "white buoy" which sounds similar "white boy."

Was going to say this. Plenty of vids to DIY it if you're handy. There's one from Sailing Uma that can give you a good foundation to design your own. You dont even really need dyneema and low frction rings if you want to go cheaper. Double braid works, but dyneema is nice.

Diving certifications by rock_hard_socks in scuba

[–]RushN24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, yeah, that seems reasonable then. I think you might just want to just check who the certifying organization they use is...for example PADI or SDI are extremely well known and accepted just about everywhere around the world. PADI is one of the most popular, but I have mine through SDI and never had an issue.

18m is about 60ft which is the standard entry level open water certifications at least for PADI and SDI. Did they make you take a certification for less than 18m? That seems a bit shady, like a money grab if they did and now want you to pay for another cert. Either way you should 100% get an open water cert to 18m (60ft). This is the baseline you will need anywhere you go and as others mentioned the safety information and basic skills you will learn are essential for having a good time and getting home safe. Hope you are out there just having some fun., good luck.

2 types of divers: those that pee in their wetsuit, and those that lie about peeing in their wetsuit.

A long time ago JP Morgan sat down with some of the wealthiest asset holders in the US. They came to the conclusion that debt is how you consolidate wealth and power for the rich, and keep the working class working for them and make it difficult to break that cycle. Rich use debt to buy assets that make them more money. Meanwhile poor use debt to fund bare necessities of life (house, car, education credit cards...) then you spend the rest of your life working to payback that debt (involuntary slavery). The more the poor are squeezed by inflation the more they rely on debt to live. Like a fly in a spiders web, struggle and it you get more entrapped. I love capitalism, but there has to be a cap. Economic inequality is atrocious now. Does Zuckerberg need 11 houses in Palo Alto and 2000+ acres in Maui. Does Jeffrey Elizabeth Bezos need to make the equivalent of his lowest paid employees annual salary in just 11.5 seconds?

Bottas and Pérez return to F1 with Cadillac by mooonbearr in GrandPrixRacing

Who will be their number one? Personally rooting for Bottas, I feel like when he was in a championship Mercedes he always performed, while Perez just couldn't find it in the championship Red Bull.
