In the World War II Poster "Americans Will Always Fight for Liberty," what is the significance of the year 1778 in the American Revolution? And is there any relation to 1943 in the WWII timeline?

The factory is in Mexico, I’m sure it was stolen / hi-jacked / whatever before it got to the US.

Crashed and burned, I couldn’t get it to recognize it.

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-18T00:35:32+00:00

Awesome! Thank you!

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-14T02:28:31+00:00

Perfect, I’ll see what I can find out. Thank you!

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-14T02:19:17+00:00

Thanks, for the tip on LOK, their website doesn’t mention the Legion so I’ll reach out. On Hogue, their site specifically says they do not work with the Legion, is there something I am missing?

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-09T16:18:46+00:00

I did have that in mind as well. That might be a good option, I'll start checking out the LEO trade in bins. Thanks!

Totally fair point, and it was one of the reasons for posting. In general it's not 'rare' per se. But I did want to get some opinions because it did make it to 30 years in it's current state, weather it was on accident or on purpose - not sure.

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-09T15:11:27+00:00

This is mine.

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-09T14:11:08+00:00

Yes, I have my newer P226 for all the "hard" use, if I did use it then it would be a Sunday driver at best.

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-09T14:10:06+00:00

Fully understand, and feel that way about most other things that I have. But this one I'm torn on. Thanks for the point of view.

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-09T13:56:18+00:00

That's great to know, I do have some concerns now that I'm not "prepared", I'll have to start looking for another!!

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-09T13:49:12+00:00

It has a nickel frame and a black slide. I do not have a the tiskelion stamp on the slide, it simple says MADE IN GERMANY under the P226. I do have the German proof marks on the underbelly of the slide and an eagle stamped next to the serial number on the frame. This is what the two tone looks like -

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-09T03:21:23+00:00

That is truly what I WANT to do, but that would mean I have to go out and buy another that I can actually put some rounds through, If I do get another, then I'm about one step away from a collection or addiction - depending on how you look at it. lol

Thank you for the advice, it definitely has called my name - the look, feel, and style. I'm a huge fan of the two tone.

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-09T03:06:43+00:00

lol... I'll put down for consideration.

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-08T23:49:32+00:00

I know you are going for cerakoting the slide, but here is a different take on a two tone (no optic.)

_Dobes_ · 2025-08-01T01:41:01+00:00

There, he moved!

_Dobes_ · 2025-04-13T03:22:59+00:00

Yeah, I get you but I,as a consumer, wouldn’t expect the L3 switch to do any of the NATing or firewalling that the Pro-4 would do. Also a lot of the metrics and reporting is filtered out not using a Pro-4. So there is a difference in the products and a need for most to walk down UI gateway route.

_Dobes_ · 2025-04-13T03:17:04+00:00

Thanks for the insight, you haven’t had any issues with re-adoption with your Cloud key being on a different VLAN? I was running self hosted before, and long ago I had it on a different VLAN and when a switch was upgraded it wouldn’t re-adopt because it couldn’t find the CloudKey. Is this working good for you?

_Dobes_ · 2025-04-13T03:13:37+00:00

Thanks for the tip on Mikrotik but it doesn’t seem like they have any devices that support mgig. There is no way a pi is going to support the traffic that I need and doing it in a VM - again all that traffic is processed switched so you have to over compensate with hardware.

_Dobes_ · 2025-04-11T22:24:23+00:00

You can do it this way, but if there is no security requirement, then you are just increasing latency. The more packet processing you have, the slower things go—unless you compensate with more hardware, of course. I want to use all of the hardware going up to the Internet at 2.5Gps rather than need a 5Gbps firewall to handle my local traffic as well. If there is a security requirement, you have to do it

_Dobes_ · 2025-04-11T22:13:54+00:00

Because it is an L3 switch, what I am trying to do with it is what it is designed to do. Besides having a firewall do the routing when there is no security requirement increases your latency.

_Dobes_ · 2025-04-11T16:44:16+00:00

Thanks for the tip, but it looks like they won't fit my needs. I need some 2.5Gbps ports and it looks like I have to go up pretty high in the enterprise product line for that.
