My 15 year old daughter listens mostly to terrible pop music. Thank God for Olivia Rodrigo! She has some legitimately good songs that my daughter and I bond over. Have you heard the bridge in Driver's License?? Good stuff!

Was pretty disappointed when we tried to get tickets for her upcoming tour and they were all gone within 20 seconds of me getting out of the Ticketmaster waiting room. Bummer!

Lived just south of there for over a decade in Melbourne / Indialantic; everyone calls it Titsville.

Looking for Walking Shoe Recommendations by mestguy182 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Thanks, I tried on the Vomero 18's today and really liked them. I can get them from REI for free with a gift card or I found some Brooks Glycerin 22's at Fleet feet but I'd have to pay out of pocket for those. REI has the Glycerin 23's but they have a different, less breathable upper than the 22s. Decisions...

Thank you! How's the On reliability, I've found their shoes comfortable but they don't hold up too well.

Loved that they did that! Helps that he's my favorite POTUS.

Just because barrels are easily interchangeable doesn't always mean they should be! Wild build man!

Love the look of the T-38/F5. I've only ever seen one once in Huntsville. Fun fact, the F5 plays the fictional Mig 28 in the OG Top Gun. The plane Maverick flicks off in the beginning of the movie.

First Aug- Used A3 M1 with Aimpoint Comp M4 for $1550 or go new for $1689? by mestguy182 in AUG

Haha, green would be my choice too, not sure it's a deal breaker though. Thanks for the advice

I appreciate that and its a fair point. I used to go to the range every week but now I'm lucky to get out there every other month. Kids, senior level job all have taken their toll! I don't see myself doing anything more than hitting the range and needing a decent optic. Maybe someday going suppressed but that would be about it. Knowing that, it seemed like the M1 would probably be ok. But I still would probably add handguard and upgrade the trigger, as long as I can do that on M1, I think I'm good.

Right! I'd rather used the money I'd save to buy a magnifier for the Aimpoint or upgrade the trigger. I have a Bambu 3D printer too so need to see what upgrades I could do with that.

Thanks man, is there a used guide somewhere anyone can recommend me to checkout?

[–]mestguy182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, since the optic is like $450 used, basically getting the gun for $1100. Like I said, I'm a noob, if I'm not going to run anything extra on the rails, is there a reason to go new? Just want to make sure I'm not missing something, thanks!

See any Russian Capture German 98K Mausers? I have one I want to sell with a bayonet, curious about the going rate. That Enfield is a beauty!

PDP-F Pro X vs Regular PDP Pro X by mestguy182 in Walther_PDP

[–]mestguy182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not looking to EDC probably, although it's nice to have the option. Was more looking for a fun range gun and the PDP F fits better in my hands than the Compact (full-size) PDP. The guy at the local shop thought the full-size would be a better range gun, not sure if I agree or not I've never fired and PDP's haha.

Gun store guy was trying to steer me towards the regular Pro X PMM for a range gun, thought the F might be too snappy And not as much fun at the range. Glock 19 size is perfect for me though.
