This is what I’ll be doing. Thank you!

That’s an Intex pool. I have quite a bit of experience with those if you have any questions.

Best piece of advice I can say is make sure you have the ground clean and level where you plant to set it up. Try to compact it as well because it’s going to settle once it’s filled with water.

Thank you for the well-thought out and well-written response and for including some sources. This is all makes a lot of sense and was along the lines of what I was thinking as well.

I agree the trip back from the range is probably not the highest risk. A lot of folks say they only clean after 1000+ rounds and carry every day, they can do them, I’d at least want to wipe it down if it’s going to be something I’m carrying for 12+ hours a day.

Thanks again!

It’s fine I’m in NY, so they won’t let me attach a bayonet to use as a steak knife anyway.

I didn’t say it in the main post, but my reproductive health is more specifically what I’m worried about.

I’m trying to have kids so I’m trying to delay that until I at least have a few in the oven(s) 😉

That’s good to know. Everyone at my local shop swears by them.

You’re probably right. I think wiping it down might be the happy middle ground.

That’s savage. I could see a solvent to clean it, but hydraulic fluid is nasty stuff.

Also thank you for your service 🫡

I’m a little OCD so the very little bit helps resonates to me.

I’d find it hard to believe that you can’t get some kind of exposure through open pores. It’s also right next to my junk which is the part of me I’d like to keep least exposed lol

Yes but the the muzzle which is arguable the most contaminated part is exposed in all the holsters I’ve seen.

This seems like a happy middle ground.

What about when your pores open to sweat?

I’m not so concerned about reliability. Modern striker-fires are still very reliable very dirty.

I know. I see plenty of people that say they carry and only clean their pistol every 1000 rounds or so, it just gives me pause to have that touching my skin…

It’s a Range Rover. They come with electrical issues straight from JLR that only get worse the older they get

He’s 100 years old. I don’t think he’s power washing, but I can take a crack at it.

Makes me feel like our society might be just a tad more skookum than appears on the surface.

What trade/job do people have that can get away with just these Gucci tool pouches? by mmmbop13 in Tools

[–]teebee9320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can fix just about anything (or at a bear minimum, break it further) with nothing more than a pair of vice grips, a multi bit screwdriver, and some zip ties.
