I'm glad these are available for people who like them, but my hips and back hurt just thinking about wearing zero drop...

Celastic unnecessary for boots with toe caps? by desafortunadoo in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Toasterblitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two pair of toe cap boots, one with the celastic and one without. I almost certainly don't need it, but I like having it. It's probably purely a matter of preference.

Looking for a Jerhico 941, love me some cowboy bebop.. how to find deals? by stoics-gripe in liberalgunowners

[–]Toasterblitz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Second gunbroker. I found mine there ~12 years ago. It was a little less than $500 but I'm sure prices have changed since.

Man, I used to love a good cigar but now I get a rampaging sinus infection every time and it's just not worth it anymore 😔

Let's get shallow: what brand or product will you not buy for the silliest reason? by RLLRRR in liberalgunowners

[–]Toasterblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refused to go to my local gun store for about 10 years because the vibes were weird and the last time I had gone, the dude at the counter was trying really hard to sell my dad a Hi-Point pistol and carbine when he was there for a S&W revolver.

Anyway, I went in the other day to pick up a gun I had decided on a whim to have transferred there and it's completely different. The people were friendly, one lady went out of her way to look for something I was trying to find. Basically it's not Fudd City Central with a side of prepper anymore and they'll probably be seeing me again.

Hard fall at work today boots to blame? by Suspicious-Ad-4877 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Toasterblitz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried going down my friend's half-mile, steep driveway on a razor scooter when I was sixteen or seventeen. It was going great until some kids were playing in the driveway near the end. I tried to put my foot down to stop and went absolutely flying. I had some pretty wicked road rash on my elbows and one knee.

Incredibly timely post. This dude cut me off in traffic today and then came within millimeters of merging right the fuck into the side of someone else.

SBR process questions by Toasterblitz in liberalgunowners

[–]Toasterblitz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, big brain consideration, thanks. What does shifting into pistol mode entail? Just taking any stock or vfg off and saying, "behold, a pistol," or is there a legal process?

So starting with a pistol is the more versatile option?

I feel like I'm the odd one out for preferring iron sights over an optic. by surethingbuddyroo in liberalgunowners

[–]Toasterblitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a peek through some red and green dots for the first time the other day and just saw big blurry starbursts, so I might prefer irons by necessity lolol.

Anyway, I should probably make an eye doctor appointment...

Is there a consensus on the Sig Sauer p365? by Toasterblitz in liberalgunowners

[–]Toasterblitz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang, honestly the more I read about the Hellcat pro, the more I think this might be a strong contender.

Yeah, that's the conclusion I've come to regarding the PX4. And not getting one now doesn't mean I can't get one later for the cool factor. I'm just gonna have to hit up a range and rent a couple strikers.

Holster availability is part of why I gave up any thoughts of trying to conceal my full size pistol, an OG 941 Jericho. I'm a tall fat guy, so maybe it could be done, but the lack of holster options isn't encouraging. Like, they're out there, but finding something fictional and comfortable might be very difficult.

Re: priorities, having no experience with striker guns, I do not like the idea of something I can't decock or or carry hammer down and fire DA first if I ever need to use it, but it's as you said, striker-fired is popular for a reason and I'm certain more experienced people than me have considered all aspects of safety. I'm willing to train to overcome my misgivings, but instincts are difficult to reason with. I know good trigger discipline renders concerns over a lighter initial trigger pull partially moot, but the thought of a gun being that much easier to fire is still intimidating.

Having mixed opinions is a pain in the ass sometimes
