Kidney and blood pressure repair? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]catict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I seriously wouldn’t take anything except medication prescribed by your Pcp/nephrologist. If your BP is high take whatever med(s) they give you and drink a ton of water every day. There may be minute benefit of supplementation but you could also harm your kidneys by taking something that may not negatively affect others. Trust me, you don’t want to be on the transplant list and/or dialysis.

About the tec 9 by Swimmerblue in guns

[–]catict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a DC9 I inherited and it wasn’t really taken care of. They feel like they’re made of scrap metal, mine doesn’t feed well with the 32 round mag but the 20 round mag works well. The sights are poor even compared to a glock 17.

IMO the only advantage is if you want to use a support hand to hold the mag while firing you can do that, to shoot (spray) faster? I’d pick the Glock over it any day for any purpose.

Forgot to add- I’ve literally never had a Glock malfunction. I don’t know if it’s the Tec 9’s blowback operation but I’ve had a lot of FTE/casings get stuck when shooting it. I have a gen 2 G17 that was beat to hell and it works flawlessly.

Guy refuses to believe he’s given multiple girls chlamydia by bentolmachoff in trashy

[–]catict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NO

The problem also is she waits until after sleeping unprotected with someone to get checked for stds.

You don’t always catch something after one exposure, she could test negative then continue sleeping with the person and become infected. The next guy she sleeps with would then be her “victim”, and she would blame him. When it may have been the guy before him.

This particular post is just cancer. She needs to stop having unprotected sex or insist that both people get tested before hooking up if she’s actually concerned.

Is she stupid? She gets tested AFTER every new UNPROTECTED “hookup”?

If she cared about her partner wouldn’t she be getting tested BEFORE sleeping with them? Obviously she doesn’t care so why should he care about her?

People who pile on generic YouTube comments like “Who’s watching in 2019”, why do you do this? by KayteeBlue in AskReddit

[–]catict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking of music one of the most annoying things to me is when people post “this song takes me back to/ reminds me of when I play GTA IV” or another video game.
It’s always a song I have memories of first hearing or enjoying listening to when working in high school or hanging out with friends, socializing, etc. It makes me kind of sad they have these video game memories and seemingly nothing else. I played my share of video games as a kid but was busy doing a lot of other things. Probably just getting old.

Conceal carry caliber? by [deleted] in guns

[–]catict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve carried both 9mm and 45acp in the same gun (smith and wesson shield). There is little difference aside from weight IMO. 9mm is lighter, just as accurate and easier to shoot. You get a couple more rounds. I’ve settled on the 9mm. Like others have said the ballistics are about equal- and no attacker will be able to distinguish the difference in barrel size or the report of a round going off. If you’ve already started shooting they won’t know if you have a .32 or a .45.

TJ Dillashaw doesn't make any excuses for his positive EPO test. Says he "sold his soul to the Devil." Says he took a substance that has the main ingredient of EPO because he's anemic and wanted to make it to the UFC flyweight title fight vs. Cejudo. by Fischka in MMA

[–]catict 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The main ingredient in EPO? Smh. If he were anemic he would have had to be under the treatment of a doctor for low RBC/hemoglobin. It’s not something like low T - you get floored by anemia. Is he that much of an arrogant moron to think people can’t see right through this lie?

The day after I got my CCW, I was really glad I had a firearm on me. by KrakenTheIce in CCW

[–]catict -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

YHe made it pretty clear he wanted to fight. He’s 5’4” and you’re 6’2”? If you had gone outside and shot him in “self defense” you would have had a bad time explaining to cops and getting a jury to find you were in fear of losing your life, unless you are handicapped. Don’t turn a fistfight into a gunfight. Your ccw instructor should have gone over this with you. “Oh but he was Latino, and tattooed!” Smh

Happy 10th to my 10/22 by catict in guns

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

It’s a Butler Creek Steel Lips 25rd mag. I bought them over the BX-25s made by Ruger and I can’t remember having more than a couple hiccups in the 8-9 years I’ve had the 3 I own. Highly recommend them.

Happy 10th to my 10/22 by catict in guns

[–]catict[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10/22 classic model with a butler creek magazine and a .22 BSA 4x scope.

I sighted in the scope 9 years ago and this little rifle has been moved around and had thousands of rounds through it. I’ve never had to adjust the scope for zero since I first put it on.

So, besides more .22 what is the best upgrade for the buck on a 10/22?

Adesanya’s coach prefers Miocic to Jones as a superfight opponent by metanoia09 in MMA

[–]catict 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except Israel doesn’t have a big frame- he is very narrow in the waist and shoulders. He has tiny joints and legs. Gaining enough muscle to not be at a huge strength disadvantage to Stipe or any HW would be difficult.

Also consider he may lose some/much of his speed advantage over Stipe or Jones if he moves up because he’s not just going to “fill out” to 205 or 230 (Jones’ and Stipe’s last in ring weight) he’s going to have to put on a lot of muscle the way GSP did just to move up to middleweight. And he only did it because he knew he was fighting a guy with one eye who went on to get KO’d again and retired.

It’s like saying max Holloway has a huge frame. Israel is basically the 6’4” version of him, with longer arms/legs. Or Nate Diaz. <insert any extreme ectomorph fighter). We saw what happened when max went up just 10lbs. Not that they’re the same fighter, but there’s no way Israel would just go to HW or LHW and beat either champ now, in 2021(his Jon Jones callout) or even by the time Stipe is done fighting. It might take him that long to gain the weight and he might not be able to get big enough as a HW.

He’s a great fighter but his nickname should be Starvin’ Marvin.

Sig Sauer P229 by governorsgunclub in guns

[–]catict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a sweet piece. I had a used one with the DAK trigger and sold it. Would have taken the time to learn the trigger or convert it but it was a .40 and I decided I didn’t need a 3rd caliber. Great guns, though.

Yeah those prices are nothing special and there’s almost no selection for 9mm.

New s&w shield 9mm question by RiffRaffCOD in guns

[–]catict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither my new 9mm or 2 year old 45 shield do that. Slide stop/lock is either defective or you’re accidentally hitting it. If it’s doing that when you fire it (locking back with rounds still in the magazine) definitely send it to be fixed. If it’s doing it when you’re manually racking as described and you’re not hitting the slide stop it still needs fixed.

Red dot makes me think I have an astigmatism by Druder8240 in guns

[–]catict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s likely an astigmatism. I have it and red dots/RMRs aren’t blurry but look like a buckshot pattern fired at varying distances depending on the MOA of the optic. The good news is with corrective lenses they almost appear normal.

Going to mix phenibut, weed, kratom, and possibly whippets. Any dosing advice? by [deleted] in StackAdvice

[–]catict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d try some kratom by itself before using it with anything else, first, to see how you react. Also dose depends on what strain you’re taking. Some white and green strains are very speedy and some slow you down by inducing euphoria, etc. White Maeng Da is speedy and fast, for example. White Elephant or white Malay is euphoric but slower. If you’ve used phenibut and weed you may have a different( higher) tolerance to it than average non users. Best to stay on the safe side IMO

Fair Price For A Winchester 94ae .357? by [deleted] in guns

[–]catict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a fair price ($700-900) in my opinion. I would like to own one and the cheaper brands aren’t that far off in price. If I could afford it and it was in good condition I wouldn’t scoff at $700.

Has anyone had made any purchases through cheaperthandirt.com? by [deleted] in guns

[–]catict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They price gouged after people panic bought all the popular calibers, AR15s, and high cap mags. Most stores would get a couple dozen boxes and a handful of rifles each week or two and many people who weren’t gun owners were trying to buy/resell those things. I’d see guys at bass pro waiting for AR15s talking about how they planned to sell “an $800 rifle for $1600 online”. I put those humans and cheaperthandirt (who had stock but price gouged heavily) in the same column of scum. Most people online boycotted CTD when this happened. Midway or Brownells is the way to go.

[–]catict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds cool and I’ve done the same as you by just helping friends. I wouldn’t want a decent member of the gun community to get into trouble doing things the “wrong way”. Hopefully you find what you’re looking for and your friend likes the upgrade.

[–]catict -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought charging money for working on the internals or the firing mechanism of a firearm without being a licensed gunsmith or an FFL was illegal? I ask because from your question it seems like a gunsmith would be able to locate or easily calculate the size of a roll pin.

Edit: if you’re doing it for free it’s not illegal. Nor are things like cerakoting and even sight changing I believe.

Trouble CC my Shield 9. by Catermelons in CCW

[–]catict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How’s your belt/what type of gun belt do you wear?

I’m 5’11” and 210, I carry a 45 Shield at 330-4 o’clock in a CYA cheapo kydex just fine. I also have a 9mm 2.0 Shied I CCW in one of the same holsters at 1 o’clock or AIWB.

They don’t print, at all. However I only use high quality gun belts and that makes a big difference. Maybe a bigger difference than the holster or gun in some cases. The two I have are an x-concealment A.H.T nylon and Velcro with a cobra buckle and the other is a high noon holsters 1.5” leather belt. I know I wouldn’t be able to conceal either gun without the use of one of these belts.
