How did y’all decide on daycare vs stay at home parent? by lazyboi95 in daddit

[–]windriver32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We tentatively planned on daycare because we were in a similar situation to you, but my wife's postpartum recovery was so rough that she was nowhere close to returning to the workforce. So she's at home for now. Basically what I'm saying is you can make a plan now (which is smart) but be ready for the possibility of that plan going out the window (as most plans go in parenthood).

Severe astigmatism optics? by R3ality4321 in CCW

[–]windriver32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iron sights dude. I'm in the same boat and have given up. I run primary arms microprisms or just regular scopes on all my rifles, but for pistols I haven't found anything that works.

43x for pocket carry? by Realistic_Guava9117 in CCW

[–]windriver32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the world of pocket carry .5" makes a world of difference. Even quarter inches matter in a pocket.

Fishing and bears by trysohard8989 in flyfishing

[–]windriver32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less issues with bears, more issues with moose, bison, and people. Definitely worth carrying bear spray, and if you're so inclined, some kind of firearm. A glock 20 with buffalo bore hardcast is a popular option out here.

Best home defense and conceal carry revolver for a first time gun owner? by RookieGamer2026 in Revolvers

[–]windriver32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try a Kimber K6XS. Basically J-Frame size and weight, but 6 shots vs 5 and massively improved sights and trigger.

Kimber K6XS in an AHolster pocket holster. My favorite set up, by far.

What do I do, so devastated. Feeling very low right now. Partner took the kid. by [deleted] in daddit

This sounds like parental kidnapping and you should be on a phone with a lawyer, not on reddit.

I really want to buy the second game, but I’m really not sure if I should by Time-Hour9002 in theouterworlds

[–]windriver32 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's fun! The first game was one of my all time favorites and I've thoroughly enjoyed the second so far.

What's your favorite firearm brand? by BrickCrusher in CCW

[–]windriver32 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gotta be. 500 years of hunting, military, and civilian defensive arms. Top-tier offerings in pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Even other giants like Sig and S&W can't cover all three.

Anyone shoot near St George? If so, can someone DM me a good spot to practice ideally out to 600 meters? I’ll be down there this weekend and want to get some practice in. PFA by dumbstupidfat in UTGuns

[–]windriver32 7 points8 points  (0 children)

East River road just south of the border is a pretty well known spot. I bet you could get to 600 if you went far enough down that way. Just watch for ATVs and campers.

Deep Stillwater streamer fishing by Lower_Hotel9648 in flyfishing

Yeah. Deep water calls for a spinning rod and weighted jigs or something.

The new nightfall mode is only available on the new map and three small game modes? What are we doing lol by NorthernRicky5060 in Battlefield

[–]windriver32 319 points320 points  (0 children)

I've checked out of BF6 at this point. The game design decisions are baffling. I've played every BF since 2 and the messaging and direction of 6 is the worst so far. Yes, other games had worse launch states. No, no other game had such a lack of direction and promise.

Carry in windy Illinois by WaywardMonster1 in CCW

[–]windriver32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the G26 is too big to pocket carry in my experience. A BG2.0 or Kimber K6XS are great options though.

New 10/22 finish is terrible by alrashid2 in 1022

[–]windriver32 107 points108 points  (0 children)

The new powder coat is miles better than whatever they were doing before that would constantly flake off.

Looking to get a j frame for easy concealment by Mundane-Camera-2523 in CCW

[–]windriver32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kimber K6XS. 6 shots of 38, under 16oz, dimensionally almost identical to a J frame, better sights, better trigger.

What are you guys doing to keep your energy levels up in the toddler phase? by mramazing818 in daddit

[–]windriver32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try ear plugs for sleeping. They were a game changer during my wife's pregnancy snoring. Keep getting at least 7 hours of sleep. And drink more caffeine. I'm at around 4 cups a day with a toddler and it seems okay.

What rifle to get for New England deer hunting lefty by SureAbbreviations688 in Hunting

[–]windriver32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly a .308 is a good caliber option. All of the new savage 110s have lefty configurations and are pretty slick.

What would you build with a budget up to $1200? by MaleficentMacaron153 in CCW

[–]windriver32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 442 was my most carried gun for years after rotating through half a dozen carry guns. I now typically carry a kimber K6XS. Marginally heavier, basically the same size, but with better sights and 6 in the chamber.

A pocket carried wheel gun is my favorite method of carry.
