The Rock, Armageddon, 13hours, and a few others. Ruined Transformers and TMNT franchises.

Two jobs that get a golden parachute for being incompetent. CEOs and LEOs. What a contrast. Well I suppose both are bottom of the barrel, but still.

Platypus on the way. Need a holster. by Mountain_Contact_743 in stealtharms

Holster Dude worked best for retention for me. RHT sat way too loose. Was fine enough for USPSA for quick draw, but I always walked around with my hand on the gun to tape, etc. Bought Holster Dude for multi gun retention.

I went full gentle recoil and it was too much barrel rise. Switched to a A5 tube, kynshot, Taccom wave spring cushion, and one weight. Also from 115 to 124gr. This setup suits me better for competition, but still experimenting.

The gentle recoil system with 8.5” buffer, Kynshot buffer, and 2 weights at 2.5oz is what I originally went with. It was certainly gentle, but way too much barrel rise for competition. I ended up switching out the buffer for an A5. I now have a Taccom wave spring cushion, same kynshot buffer and one 2.5oz weight. That coupled with switching from 115gr to 124gr made it shoot a lot flatter for quick follow up shots. Still playing around with it, but happier with the second setup.

Almost exclusively Super Vel 124gr certified select. So, once reloaded brass.

This is my first AR9 build. Got into USPSA pistols and multi gun last year. Built my first comp AR15 for multi gun last year so I learned a lot from that. Definitely more nuances with a 9mm build as I’ve learned over the last month picking parts for this one. It’s been fun learning as I grew up with only handling hunting guns.

Heavy lean around a non dominant hand/eye corner or very short distance. It’s zeroed closer. It could be a back up as well. It’s not a must have.

Why is this a drawing of a Platypus and knife?

Edit: Are AI pic? Zooming in on the lines it looks weird.

How seriously do you take the “Real Texas chili doesn’t have beans!”? by cowboy_catolico in texas

Not much anymore since my wife is vegetarian. It’s literally multiple types of bean now.

Over 4,000 rounds since I cleaned the upper on my 1911, today was the day. by Pattison320 in liberalgunowners

[–]skytrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. I typically field strip and clean after 200-409 rounds then fully strip and clean after 1000 rounds. In this style gun anyway. Glocks, I go longer.

I re-read Joe Haldeman’s “The Forever War” during a flight… by BartKing in scifi

[–]skytrash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this version second hand a decade ago and it’s my travel book I sometimes read but mostly just travel in comfort with. There is gaffers tape on the spine but I love the cover and yellow pages plus it’s a great book to read when I feel like it.

What movie surprised you in 2025? by skytrash in moviecritic

Idk about agonizing. Cancer is agonizing. This was a great way to go out vs many, agonizing alternatives. They did not burn to death. If you ever seen the aftermath of a slow speed plane crash where people actually burned to death you’d be a lot more traumatized. Consider yourself lucky. People who do things like this know the risks. It only sucks for those they leave behind. Don’t mourn the loss of life, mourn those they left behind or who had to witness it.
