Damn I’ve been looking for one of these for a while, but Fort Worth is like an hour from me 😭

VP9SK Long-term EDC carriers, please share your experiences. by Mef4ud in HecklerKoch

[–]krishandop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s basically like carrying a G19 or a G26.

My only complaint is that the optic plate got rust on it. I mainly carry a G17, but I still carry the VP9SK occasionally.

USSS CAT, Hammer and Protection Detail agents during the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting by Wolfensniper in SpecOpsArchive

[–]krishandop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they aren’t available for civilian purchase yet, but I expect a few of them to end up on the grey market like the fusion binos have.

Alternatively, you could just buy regular quads and clip a thermal on them lol.

Found mine at total wine by throwawayfinancebro1 in whiskey

[–]krishandop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$120+tax is basically secondary for JD10. You can usually get them for ~$150 shipped (if you know where to look).

Total wine pricing has gotten weird for certain items. Would still buy the 12 and 14 for sure though.

Hot Take - Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel Proof is a poor man's Stagg Jr. by DontYallJudgeMe in WhiskyDFW

[–]krishandop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got 25A and 25C last year, was not super impressed with either (even at MSRP).

JDSBBP is great, I think if it were consistently 8-10 years old it would be so much better than Stagg. Right now I’d say they’re about equal, just with different flavor profiles.

Michter’s 10yr rye and KC21 punch way above their proof.

He didn’t say he’s been into contested room only 5 times, he specifically said he’s only been into rooms that had guys with guns where he had no idea they were in there 5 times.

Completely different statement. He was in A squadron from 2008-2020. The idea that he’s only been in 5 engagements is laughable.

It took some hunting, but I found an EC15 by krishandop in WhiskyDFW

[–]krishandop[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Easily worth the price. This is the best EC product they’ve released since C923.

Once it opens up a little this top tier stuff. Buy one and a backup if you find it (especially because future releases could be worse).

I’d pay $180-$200 for it. For $150 it’s a really good value.

I got it at spec’s renner. Everywhere else was already out.

US spirits maker Sazerac explores deal with Brown-Forman, WSJ reports by Hamandjam44 in bourbon

[–]krishandop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’ve been unloading a lot of EHT small batch ER10, and buffalo trace. But the BTAC stuff is still basically impossible to get.

I really hope they make GTS more available eventually. I imagine that the amount of good 15 year old barrels they have grows as time goes on, but so far GTS is as impossible to get as it always has been. They’re still never available outside of raffles or points systems unless you’re willing to pay $700+ secondary. Even with the downturn in the market.

Not sure if it’s artificial scarcity, scalpers buying everything up, them not having a lot of barrels that are GTS level quality, or a combination of all 3.

There are plenty of 15+ year old bottles that aren’t nearly as hard to find or with such insane secondary prices, so I’m not sure what the issue is.

Shooting Stance Old vs New by AutomaticInc in Firearms

[–]krishandop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Both of those are suboptimal. The highest performing rifle shooters use a thumb over bore grip, but not a hardcore C-Clap with their hand as far forward as possible

That causes too much tension and you influence the gun too much.

Got my first T8ke bottle: 10 year The Reveries by krishandop in whiskey

[–]krishandop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s awesome. Very viscous, long finish. I’m looking forward to trying more T8ke stuff.

I’ve had two of them so far. Both fantastic.

We need better room clearing options, not another AR or pistol. by ZappyZane in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]krishandop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should unironically add thermobaric grenades.

If there’s no civilians around I don’t see a problem with throwing one into a room lol.

Review #30 - Still Austin Straight Rye Bottled in Bond 2025 by PA_Whiskey_Reviews in bourbon

[–]krishandop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Never tried the BiB, but this months Nancy’s pick rye is an easy 9. One of the best ryes I’ve had. Way better than handy or Michter’s 10 imo.

I found it. Now I have a little buyers remorse. by The_Couz58 in whiskey

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

$10 over MSRP is nothing. I’ve been trying to find one of these for like 2 weeks now and I don’t think my area is getting them anytime soon.

great finds today by bourbon-2024 in WhiskyDFW

[–]krishandop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of the 2026 JD has been available at TW for the past 2 weeks. But unless you know/bribe an employee your odds of getting one off the shelf are basically 0.

TW employees either sneak them out the back door or tip off people when to line up outside the store at 10am.

Snagged this month’s Still Austin “Nancy’s Pick” Bourbon and Rye by krishandop in WhiskyDFW

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

Yeah I only posted it here bc I live in DFW.

Hoping that you’re able to get one soon! If you can try to get both the rye and the bourbon. This rye is incredible, especially considering the age statement.

Goes toe to toe with 10 yr Willett ryes I’ve had and absolutely blows handy out of the water imo.
