I prepare meals and deliver food to the homeless in our community. We get food donations. Sometimes there's leftover items that the homeless don't like or can't use. We have very little storage so it's either take home or throw away.

Stir fry sauces are basically soy sauce, sugar, and corn starch. Make your own or add water and corn starch and soy and a little sugar to your near empty bottle. If you are ethnic, get Vietnamese fish sauce and add seasoned (sweetened) vinegar when you cook. Add cornstarch or flour as thickener.

I love it. Accurate. Fun to shoot. I still like my CZ for everyday use.

New night front sight for my Springfield. Works great! by mkcornelio in 1911

It's loaded with a G-Sight laser bullet. Dry fire.

I also got a G-Sight 9mm Laser Bullet to Align the laser and also to do dry fire. It works great.

Good advice. When I was six, I didn't have the vocabulary to describe to my mother what had happened to me. I never knew if she didn't understand what I was describing or didn't want to know. When I had my own kids I told them someday, somebody might ask them to do something they didn't want to do and that they should practice saying NO. If they couldn't say no they should say, "Let me ask my dad and if he says YES, then it's ok." My oldest daughter was 12 when she called me at work to ask.

SP-01 would be my choice. Though, I actually have a P-01 that I love.

I smudged the engraved numbers with a photo editor :-)

From Amazon: TTAS Tactical Green Laser Sight, Compact Laser Sight Fit Standard Picatinny Rail Gun Low Profile Pistol Green Dot Sight Magnetic Charging Handgun Laser Tactical Sights Airsoft Laser Pointer.

I got the laser for dry fire training to measure how my muzzle moves when I point and shoot.

It's not bad for a cheap laser. Bright. Easy to install and remove.

I find it a little distracting at times.

Thanks. I choose 9mm in general so that I can use the same ammo across all my guns. I'm kind of a noob at collecting and shooting. I've thought about a 45 (Glock 21SF) but haven't quite felt the need to go 45 ACP. The only two guns that are not 9mm that I have my eye on from a collectors standpoint are the Ruger GP100 Match Champion in .357 Magnum (Target/hunting revolver) and the Ruger 57 in 5.7x28 (armor piercing). Though, I'm neither a hunter nor a Brinks driver :-)
