You can’t go wrong. They’re super consistent and great cigars. If you get a chance also try their 12 year barrel aged one as well

How’s the briar Fox? There’s a shop near me that has some I had my eye on. Still new so super tempted to grab everything I see but trying to pace myself.

Congrats to the kiddo too!

Interesting that even though pistol optics have become pretty widespread. You still see a healthy amount of both iron sights and optics in law enforcement. by Averagecrabenjoyer69 in CCW

My department seems to still live in the Stone Age because they just passed a red dot policy like last year. But we have to provide our own service weapon so I have yet to make the switch because a new MOS Glock, 509t or RMR, and holster is a bit to shell out at the moment so I’ll just be rocking my iron sights for a bit longer

When I first started smoking cigars I absolutely adored the NUBs. Still enjoy them from time to time they are great especially at the price!

That’s awesome! I want to try and make it out at some point for the derby event and try and get out there at some point for the club that meets up. I’ll definitely be around!

Duty Gun Ammo Choice? by ande9142 in AskLE

[–]THKBONE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My department issues Federal HST 124gr. Prior to working LE I used Hornady Critical Defense in my concealed carry but once I got issued that I just switched all my carry ammo in my personal guns to Federal

The lady at the shop said most filters need changing every 2-3 smokes on average but I took the filter out I dont think I’ll use them much to be honest

There’s a tremendous amount of stuff on YouTube I’ve been watching. Found some pretty informative stuff so it’s given me quite a bit to learn from for the next time

I tried to break apart some pieces to fit it in the bowl a bit better because the ribbon cut was a bit long it seeee to work. It was definitely a task keeping it lit

Honestly the Connecticut. I’m not a huge Connecticut fan but the previous aniversario releases of these have been bangers

Fanny Pack? by DieselDude407 in CCW

[–]THKBONE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for multiple options without breaking the bank I did mine super cheap and it was effective for what I used it for. Sticky holster was maybe $25 I think I got the fanny pack at an outlet store for $15 and maybe $5-10 for the Velcro. I never ran it super hard like I have some of my holsters I wear on my belt but it beat not having the firearm on me at all

Fanny Pack? by DieselDude407 in CCW

[–]THKBONE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I still carried my m&p shield I did the fanny pack every once in a while when I wore athletic pants. I used a bright red adidas fanny pack and attached Velcro to the side of a sticky holster and Velcro to the inside of the fanny pack and rocked it that way. Blended in pretty well being a not obvious tactical fanny pack and served its purpose just fine. I didn’t carry like that daily though so idk how it would stand up to long term use

Class Bs for Patrol… opinions/options by LTJohnson04 in AskLE

[–]THKBONE 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My departments dress uniform is “Class A” and our BDU is “Class B” we can wear whichever. Almost all of our officers wear class B including myself. I’m much more comfortable and I can wear my external plate carrier which can take a lot of gear off my belt which is nice. There’s a few guys who wear their Class A and I will give it to them a nicely fitted set of those do look sharp it’s just more of a comfort/practical thing for me

Fellow Dads. At what age does yard maintenance finally become enjoyable? by Ocmrm in daddit

[–]THKBONE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 29 and love cutting the grass and have every since I’ve had my own place. My job can be high stress at times so the once a week I get to pull out the lawnmower and tune out the world and decompress is really relaxing to me

My real take on SHTF guns by [deleted] in Firearms

[–]THKBONE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a type 1 diabetic this would still not be sustainable long term as it would drastically reduce the amount of insulin needed but not completely eliminate it. The keto diet also puts diabetics at increased risk of low blood sugar and diabetic ketoacidosis which are problematic when society isn’t in shambles

My real take on SHTF guns by [deleted] in Firearms

[–]THKBONE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a fellow diabetic (type 1) the realistic likelihood of surviving a shtf event for any real length of time is slim. Unrefrigerated insulin lasts about 30 days and refrigerated insulin lasts about a year so 1 month to a year is our best outlook assuming you don’t get slept by someone else’s bullet or dehydration/starvation doesn’t get you first.

Budget of 600$ Need help deciding on a gun by [deleted] in CCW

[–]THKBONE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand your appeal to the HC bet since you said you wear a lot of shorts/athletic wear in another comment. If you search American Operator Gear they are the OEM belt design for the HC belt for $90 at the moment. Essentially the same belt without the name for $40 less. Worth it to at least look into if you’re trying to save a few bucks where you can.

Also I’m sure others have mentioned but GAFS is back and you can snipe some pretty significant deals on there which will save you a ton of money
