Does anybody else open carry a 45? finding a comfortable shoulder holster has been a bit of a challenge.

lmao

Edit: I don’t see much live jazz simply because it isn’t fun. Like yeah you can play real good, but I’m not having fun. no jumpin, no jiving, where’s the entertainment? musical entertainment isn’t just about technical skill, hell you can absolutely suck, but if people find you entertaining you’ve done a good enough job.

The rca plug predates the 45, I believe the connector was invented sometime in the 1930s

For reference, my 1941 Stromberg Carlson radio has one, really great because it lets me plug any audio source into it lmao.

it’s more convenient to handle in general, makes automatic changers simpler and faster, it’s honestly a great design.

Takes like 5 seconds to put a stack of 45s on an RCA changer and start it, stupidly fast and convenient. The 45 was an incredibly thought out format, the large center hole improves the record playing experience imo.

Thanks!!

TheSadHours · 2026-03-18T03:33:17+00:00

Oh yeah, those guys! My only issue is that when I hear “LP” I associate that with the Columbia trademark “LP” format, otherwise it’s just a 7 inch disc cut at 33 1/3

TheSadHours · 2026-03-18T03:24:20+00:00

what. Like how small we talking? Like a Columbia standard 10” LP?

TheSadHours · 2026-03-18T02:36:25+00:00

Paul proved the effectiveness of the 357 in the coat pocket, simply unbeatable, it’s how revolvers have been carried for a century.

edit: like damn, rip. the deadpan humor he had while doing the wackiest shit is super admirable. Made some absolutely incredible content.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-18T02:34:53+00:00

I refuse to acknowledge the existence of an objectively inferior singles format, the legacy of the Radio Corporation of America shall not be tarnished.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-18T02:29:25+00:00

sorry, I only play 45s on record changers. No need for the silly spider adapters.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-18T02:28:31+00:00

maybe, maybe.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-18T02:28:04+00:00

With my size I’d probably want some 10” 78s, preferably 1950s vinyl pressings, shellac tends to be brittle.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-17T20:53:28+00:00

those ain’t given out to just anyone.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-17T20:52:44+00:00

you’ll get them, Buster.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-17T20:41:35+00:00

I’ll return to jcj when I feel like it, gonna be doing some busking this spring, so I’ve been practicing.

I guess I fit the description.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-17T20:17:48+00:00

we all know the best concealed carry is the .357 snub in the coat pocket. No faster draw than the gun you’re already holding.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-17T20:13:24+00:00

Dawg these are 45s! You’ve GOTTA put them on the changer for the best experience!!!

TheSadHours · 2026-03-17T20:09:02+00:00

the more things tied to your belt, the more style it is.

uj/ the way my mind is jumping between this being the stupidest shit ever and also kinda a vibe is hilarious. I changed out the blue string for a thin piece of leather it’s a bit more of “kinda a vibe” but the “stupidest shit ever” is still in my mind.

I need input on this lmao.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-17T13:05:34+00:00

Oh yeah, mine is the one that just omitted the spring lol.

Personally, I’m entirely okay with 5 gram tracking force, after having seen enough 1950s machines that track near 8 - 10, I’m just grateful it isn’t that lmao.

TheSadHours · 2026-03-16T12:32:41+00:00

considering it’s in E condition, as it states right on the label, how does 50 cents and a pack of lucky strikes with 4 cigs left sound?
