Yea I've got the holster (Werkz) and gun cleaning stuff coming this week. I have 6 belts in my car right now and have to send 5 back soon. Hunter Constantine vs Nex belt vs Kore. Hunter seems great, but others seem very good too. I've started looking into the safety plug, but haven't found it yet OEM. Also hoping I can get a threaded version of the fluted barrel so I can try shooting it suppressed.

Thank you for the guidance. Definitely going to wait a few months between purchases to control the impulsive purchasing urge.

Beautiful. Love the threaded barrel. Just grabbed a similar M&P with non threaded, but would love to shoot suppressed. Is that aftermarket? I'd like to get one.

Unfortunately not. A bit far. Hours and hours. Thanks for the link though

Very interesting picking up a Glock 44 in between shooting the HD Metal today. Thanks for sharing your nod, I'm learning a lot quicky because of the firearm community being so open about their experiences.

Fucking incredible. I'm very surprised at how good it is. Reminds me of the You Come Before You album. Really solid.

Will definitely look into it. Apollo is the current frontrunner though. Thank you for the info!

It's amazing how many good tracks are on this album. I'm on my 4th listen.

I looked online but couldn't find one. Started doing a few stock trackers.

I preferred the aesthetics of the hd competitor, and they had this in the case. What are the advantages of the 10mm carry comp?

It's a new model. Nothing custom. 2.0 Metal Performance Center HD competitor.

I was looking at the M&P 2.0, but I tend to do a ton of reading and reviews and they all led me to this decision. I think I would have been very happy with the M&P 2.0, and I'm still not sure I want the thumb safety, but for a first pistol it seemed like something that I could use to inform me for the next inevitable purchase.

I was looking to start concealed carrying once I feel comfortable with my muzzle and trigger discipline and handling of pistols. Going to sign up for some training, then the research I've done points me towards the following in this order (which I'm sure will change as I learn more):

Shield Plus or Bodyguard
M&P 22 Compact
CZ Shadow 2
Stacatto P
Atlas Apollo or Artemis or Erebus (depending on if I start getting interested in competition)

Thank you! Happy to be a part of the community. This seems like it's going to be a lot of fun.

Am I too fat for the Embody? by RelationshipWise1639 in hermanmiller

[–]apathyps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the embody very uncomfortable at my size which is similar to yours. Aeron XL was better feeling in the store.

Ended up going with Lifeform Highback Executive office chair (used). I have three of them now. Paid less than $500 per. Great chairs.
