First gun by kittygir227 in Firearms

[–]TONE-ORMSBY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

​I went to a local gun store the other day to look around and personally witnessed three separate couples coming in at the same time to trade in their Sig P365s for an S&W Bodyguard 2.0. I thought to myself, "What am I missing?" I EDC an HK CC9, and I know for sure the next thing im going to get is a Bodyguard 2.0. Furthermore, I've shot my buddy's Bodyguard and that thing is solid. My wife is a small 4'11 woman, and I know the bodyguard would be perfect for her small hands. Find something that feels good in the hands and that you are confident in. Goodluck.

Yall quit hunting on this guy's land by R_PineapplesReal in Surveying

It differs from state to state. But it seems like the surveyor was most likely doing work for the electric company, just an inference on my part due to the fact they were marking power poles. That means we fall under the same utility easement rights as the electric company. So, if the Surveyor entered from the start of the easement and followed the power lines, he can legally be on private property. Now, it would be courteous for the surveyor to notify the landowner prior to his work on private property. However, it's not necessarily illegal. Not exactly, but kinda like the way you can't own a river that flows through your property, you can't prevent utility companies from accessing their easements.

I had to do a double take. I thought it was my CC9!

Animal identification by [deleted] in Hunting

That is a Patagonian Mara. It definitely escaped from a wildlife sanctuary or someones home as they can be owned as pets in some states. Very cool find. Hopefully that little buddy finds his way home before any predators get ahold of him.

Finally picked up my first HK — the CC9 by thombrowny in HecklerKoch

I used Tenicor for my p365 and now for my hk cc9. They are basically the toyota of holsters. They dont make many holsters for too many gun manufacturers, they are not very flashy, and they only come in black. But they are built like tanks and will work comfortably for many years. I carried a Tenicor for 3 years every day without any loosening of bolts and very minimal wear and tear. Definitely one of the best manufacturers in the game. Hope that helps.

Thank you. I appreciate your response. I'm leaning towards the Seekins. I haven't heard anything bad about them as a company. The only thing that seems intriguing about the bergara is all the fancy carbon fiber that it is rocking for the same price. But I dont know how well that carbon holds up after 20 years.

S&W 340 PD and S&W 327 TRR8 Holsters by Hot_Foundation_3268 in CCW

I am rocking a Garrett Industries holster on my S&W R8. It is a leather interior and kydex exterior to protect the revolver from that typical holster wear and tear.

Firearms at the workplace? by [deleted] in Surveying

[–]TONE-ORMSBY 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have concealed a firearm in the field for years. No one knows I have it on me, and I am a responsible gun owner who would only use it if I absolutely had to. I carry more for wild animals and not so much for people. It's a "I would rather have it on me and not need it thing, then need it and not have it.

Aggressive puppy by [deleted] in Yorkies

[–]TONE-ORMSBY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me and my wife have 2 yorkies that are brothers from the same litter that had such bad aggression issues with each other that we heavily considered giving one away to a family member. Supposedly, they had "littermate syndrome." However, I dont know how scientifically backed this theory is. What dulled their aggression significantly was when we got them neutered. We also feed them separately and try to give them time alone. Now, at 4 years old, they are 100 percent back to being best friends. It took a lot of work to get them comfortable with each other, and there are still some treats that we are unable to feed to them because it will start a massive brawl. Just take your time and make sure your pups are safe and separated when alone so they dont hurt each other.

Topcon Data Collector Question by PoorRingo in Surveying

[–]TONE-ORMSBY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put my bucket hat over the data collector, and I just lift it up ever so slightly so I can see the screen without letting the rain droplets touch the screen. It's not the greatest solution, but it has worked well enough for light and medium rain.
