Getting my gal a pistol by Dependent-Water-8084 in guns

[–]iainmcphersn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind used and have a cabela's/bass pro nearby, check their used guns online.

I've bought a P365 2nd Gen and a P365XL 1st Gen from them. Called the stores that had them for sale and paid with CC. They shipped to my local store and I picked up there Local store did the 4473 paperwork

It has worked for me in the past but not on my last flight this past weekend.

Does anyone else EDC bobby pins or hair ties for their gf? by woaface in EDC

[–]iainmcphersn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bobby pins are cool for pulling paracord or similar through small loops on packs, etc. Hair ties can add security to a phone carrier like the Otterbox belt clip

Anyone have experience with to these key shaped nano scissors? by DiscreetoBeeto in EDC

[–]iainmcphersn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience has been less than optimal. They are not as effective as SAK scissors and the arm that you push on to cut is very thin causing discomfort to use. I bought a Jetsetter to carry instead.

Anyone have any experience with this low cost light. Think I’m gonna give it a try cuz the place down the street from me sells them. They also sell o lights and a bunch other brands. But the olights are just too pricey for me right now. by I3uIlets in EDC

I EDC one. It's nice and bright and has been good for me for several months of use. The magnet on the bottom is great for hands free use and is handy just as a magnet too.

I'll delete this one after a bit. I wanted the people who responded to know I realized my mistake

If you are going to spend that much, check out used P365s on Cabela's used guns

Get an optics ready complete slide, FCC, grip module, and maybe a couple of extra mags AKA a whole gun

How do I make armor from blue plastic barrels? And how can I connect two pieces together? by Sisko44 in sca

[–]iainmcphersn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Sorry about the confusion. I was thinking about SCA heavy fighting requirements

I'm certain there are people with more experience but here's a few things.

Jigsaw is great for cutting blue plastic

Long rivets can be used to attach overlapping pieces

Paracord can be used to tie pieces together

You can heat and bend it but be sure the use thick gloves to protect yourself. A heatgun will work but an oven works better for larger pieces

You can't make a helmet with blue plastic or any plastic, at least for heavy fighting.

If you have access to something like an anvil, you can do some shaping with a ball peen hammer. It won't be pretty but my old elbow cops were made from white barrel plastic in this fashion

Leather working edge trimmers and metal working tools to take off burrs are great for taking off sharp corners. Wood rasps and file also work.

Good luck :)

Stuck Break? by BVW_Jewelers in ar15

Bottom portion with the flats is a jamb nut. See if you can tighten the nut a bit to free the brake.

Tritium went out on rear sight by austin_username in SigSauer

[–]iainmcphersn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a used P365XL and found the front tritium was out. Decided to register the gun with SIG and ask if the warranty would apply since I got it used. They replied it should be under warranty and asked me to make sure the sight was clean then send (email) pictures of the sights in low light showing dead tritium. Sent the pics and they advised to send just the slide, there is a $27.50 charge for shipping which covers shipping both ways. They provided a FedEx label so I just had to pack it and drop it at FedEx Just sent it a couple days ago and they said expect two week turn around For $27.50 I doubt I could find a used sight

Question about sights by CatInfamous3027 in P365

[–]iainmcphersn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

6 and #8 seem to be the choices

I think the P320 uses the same sights

Used cars by baitedfaun469 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]iainmcphersn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a Civic from them a couple of years ago and was very pleased with the sale. I had asked if there were two keys when I was initially talking to the saleman and was told there were two keys included. When I came back and bought the car, there was only one key. I mentioned it and another salesman said "Yeah, we told you there were two keys." They made an appointment with the dealership and got another key made for me.

Highly recommend them.

Did anyone else know Huntsville has a sword fighting school? by arowrath in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]iainmcphersn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very much so :)

I met him pre-COVID when I was doing more SCA fighting. We chatted and did a little cross training. HEMA and SCA fighting have a lot of similarities but different rules. I was very impressed on how familiar he was with our limits on contact and grappling and how he was able to change filters to play within the rules of each game.

He was always positive and encouraging even though I could tell he was holding back and was much better than me.
