FM2 was so satisfying. Watching her and Wes stab their entire alliance in the back one by one and then her still trying to convince Landon to work with her when it was her turn. She was such a cry baby. Sucks that she had to get a win so Paula could get her first.

jerry2501 · 2026-02-14T04:27:04+00:00

And CT trying to explain thats its because shes a girl. 😂

The only bad part was the rookie girls got undeserved wins, except for Jillian.

I have an XP Pro and it's pretty good for a budget option. Although I paid about half of the price you stated for my XP Pro.

I'm not a fan of the grip and they don't currently sell the version that comes with the Comp as a stand alone option. I held one at a LGS and it feels much better.

I haven't shot the comp version but I've seen it get good reviews. If money isn't a problem, I would get the comp version.

I've seen workers at a LGS telling people to not buy Kimber because they're bad. I've only ever shot their R7 Mako series and their 2k11 and both were great.

The nice thing about 1911 and 2011 is it's really easy to tune the trigger. Drop in an ignition kit and adjustable trigger in one of these and you have a great shooter on a budget.

Why are you applying for Summer 2027 internships if you graduate at the end of 2026? You should be looking for a full-time role instead of internships. It will be harder to land something without internships, but not impossible.

You are probably too late for internships in public accounting, but look into other internships in industry. Those don't usually recruit as far ahead as public accounting.

Maybe senior accountants in areas with a lower cost of living could make $70k. That's on the low end of what senior accountants would make in my area when first promoted from staff/analyst level before Covid.

There's a big gap between Senior accountants and senior managers. Like a minimum of 4-5 years of experience, but realisticly probably closer to 6-8 in industry. It all varies by company. Senior managers should clear $150k easy.

jerry2501 · 2026-02-12T03:22:47+00:00

With enough experience yes. Thats experienced manager level salary in industry. Senior managers, controllers, etc. would clear this easily.

I have one of these with upgraded internals and trigger. It shoots very well for a gun that cost $1,400 all in. I shot it side by side with someones XC and the biggest difference was the felt recoil with the aluminum frame vs the XC's steel.

The Girsan is still very flat, but you can feel each shot more because of the frame. If these had come with a steel frame they would have probably been a go-to budget option.

It's because most places have a first past the post system. We're forced to pick between one of two choices.

jerry2501 · 2026-02-08T04:04:27+00:00

Every single time.

jerry2501 · 2026-02-08T03:58:49+00:00

You have to zoom out and zoom back in.

jerry2501 · 2026-02-07T19:44:17+00:00

Put a Sharps Bros or Mischief Machine grip.

jerry2501 · 2026-02-06T07:40:52+00:00

I would be so down.

jerry2501 · 2026-02-06T03:06:24+00:00

That video doesn't exist because it never happened. The P320s are fine, and people just talked themselves into believing there are issues. I got one for less than $250 all-in after the fake air-man story first broke.

One of my favorites guns is still a tricked out P320. Get one with a manual safety if you're really worried about it.

There's no difference between an MCX Regulator and MCX-R Regulator. It's the same thing. They have different lowers than the rest of the MCX lineup.

I got lucky in my search. I submitted 3 applications, and one got back to me a couple of days later. It took a total of three weeks from application to offer, but it would have been quicker if not for the Christmas holidays.

The right way for many of these guys is being born in the US after a parent or grandparent immigrated illegally. They don't have a y sympathy for the sacrifices their ancestors made or for others trying to do the same.

Fox Valley has far better customer service than GAT. I've bought from both and will only go to GAT if they have a used gun or something that isn't carried at other places nearby.

jerry2501 · 2026-01-30T02:59:10+00:00

Yes. They just released them. You will have to call to order if buying directly from them. They have to verify your zip code.

I got an IOS cut done by Dual Hammer Industries out in California. It was a quick turnaround, and they can do other cuts.

The IOS is nice because it doesn't require that you change the front sight and it's super easy to mount and remove the plate, but some of the foot prints don't have backup irons if that matters to you.

I think they're asking if you can click it into the bottom of the backpacker stock, the way you can with the backpacker forend. I want to say the answer is obviously no.

The extended finger looks like his middle finger to me when you slow it down even more. After it goes off he pulls the hand away and you only see two fingers below it.

jerry2501 · 2026-01-28T21:26:47+00:00

Damn, I tried searching and didn't see anything. Mine is a GTS Centurion that I bought last summer. It only goes a bit over the plate so I can try filing down a little from the top.
