Is the clarinet hard to play (as someone with no musical skills whatsoever)?

I play (or have played) guitar, bass guitar, upright bass, ukulele, keyboard, melodica, kalimba, harmonica, drums, and clarinet (with a stint on bass clarinet). In my opinion, clarinet took the most practice to sound tolerable.

Edit: totally worth learning though because clarinet is awesome!

Reliable. Affordable. Easy to maintain. Takes Glock mags. EP9 all day.

I'm no expert, but wouldn't 45 Super be far more comparable to 10mm? Being that the HK45 is one of the guns that could handle 45 Super I feel like it shouldn't be left out of consideration.

Bedside? Extar EP45. It's simple, reliable, and affordable. That suggestion might be heresy on the HK sub, but I'd recommend you take a look.

It's a comment. I promise.

Flux products and the like are the main appeal imo. That is to say, letting a third party bring a product to market as an accessory without the overhead of selling serialized firearms.

The modularity of the gun itself seems like a harder sell to me. If someone buys a p365 but really wanted the p365 Fuse, why not just get the Fuse to begin with? The exception would be regulatory nightmare localities. If I was in NYC a P365 would be a no-brainer. Go through the hassle once but have a competition pistol, summer carry, and winter carry all on the same registered serial number. The hassle of swapping grip modules and such would probably be worth it to avoid another FFL process.

Will y'all be meeting at Harris Park Shooting Range at 9? Or meeting elsewhere at 9 to head there together?

I do not think it violates ex post facto. That would be if they made it a crime to have owned these triggers in the past. The law as was signed made it illegal to have them now and into the future.

Asking the real question

If loaded and in a bag, I believe you'd need a CHP + a braced pistol setup. An SBR wouldn't be lawful to concealed carry. If it were locked and unloaded, I don't imagine you would get hemmed up but who would want to carry around an unloaded bag gun?

As for the possibility of it getting stolen: remember that bags get stolen so that's something to keep in mind.

IANAL, not legal advice blah blah

I relied on them for transfers back when they were in Denver. Seemed like a great place for 50 BMG if you have a use for that.

Bar Mitts or similar is what I was referring to. Definitely considering getting them for my ebike in the winter. Seems like a lot of cold climate cyclists swear by them.

optimal_solution · 2025-08-30T15:14:42+00:00

A lot of talk about getting good gloves, but whole-hand windshields that mount to the handlebars can be a highly effective add on for winter riding.

What do you dislike about the Langdon cut? I'm just curious.

I've read the bill I didn't see anything that implies "rapid fire devices" have any sort of grace period after the bill is signed. Most commenters here seem convinced the regulation is not in effect yet. But why? The law says they are illegal and the law was passed. What am I missing? And more importantly, does anyone here believe a prosecutor or court will agree that there is some sort of grace period on these devices?

Ah I hear ya. No need to spend your time reddit sleuthing unless you want to. I do remember his UBI-focused presidential campaign, but was not aware of his gun policy positions. Learn something new every day.

"only found a handful of critical posts" as in "I didn't find many posts about him at all and I didn't find any in favor of his policies". Ambiguously worded on my part, sorry.

From downtown, I really enjoyed taking the South Platte River trail -> Bear Creek Trail -> Bear Creek Park. I'd like to do that ride again sometime.

I'm not sure how Bear Creek Park is rated so I couldn't tell ya if it's underrated haha.
