All the farms I have been on gave their cattle “cow magnets” when they were weaned or old enough to have them.
The magnets collect metal bits the cows eat when grazing, like; nails, barbed wire barbs, pieces of wire. It keeps the metal from being digested and causing damage to other organs. The magnet stays in the first stomach, I believe.
Going by 50 year old memories here. I may be off about some parts of this.

Well, I lived to retirement. That’s a big plus for me. I ain’t rich and we don’t live extravagantly, but I earned it.
Not sure where this universal high income will come from, but you can bet your a** the government will find a way to muck it up.-

Sounds like the BS charges I found on my receipts in Niagara Falls in Canada.

The speed at which he took off on that horse indicated his intentions.
I’m glad that horse didn’t move away while the kid was making his daring mount.

“Nobody’s going home until the $&#% hits the grass”? Is that boy high or drunk?

I keep toying with the idea of getting a silencer for my .22 pistol and one for my 9mm PC Carbine. I am going to wait until the hoopla dies down then decide. I have gone decades without a suppressor / silencer so it’s not at the top of my list.

Congratulations! Unfortunately I can relate to the cover and subject matter of your book. I hope your book does very well.

California talked about taxing car mileage. That went over like a lead balloon.

I thought that was a little dog. I saw that video on another site. Pretty funny and cute.

Rye, I have USCCA insurance and they also have training at affiliated ranges. You may want to look into that or some other insurance that provides legal services and helps pay for lawsuits. I am covered very well, just in case. Better to have it and not need it.
There are other services but I cannot recall their names right now.

Pat, have you handled a 43X?
Much better grip and carries more rnds.
Yes. I had a G48. I would take the slides of the 43 and the 48 and put the 43 slide on the 48 to make a 43X.
They were both great guns, but now they’re someone else’s great guns.
I carry my S&W 442 on my ankle and my P365 on my belt.-

Didn’t do too well with the Glock 43, I need to practice. This was at 20ft.
Uh…that guy would be on his way to the morgue.
I have never understood the need to put every round in one hole when shooting a defensive gun for target practice. Spread the pain around a bit. I practice double and triple taps and I don’t practice trying to put all the rounds in a magic paper circle that magically determines death. NO, I haven’t been in a gun fight, but I do know anatomy. You pop a round in the liver, 1 in a lung and another in the throat Joey Badguy is out of commission.
Rye, I had a Glock 43. My best advice to you is “Do not go down the rabbit hole of improving a great design” Trust me on this.
I no longer have the 43 because I have big hands and I never liked having to adjust my grip after every two rounds. I did add a Talon Grips’ rubber grip overlay. That made the grip a lot easier to hang onto for me
Magazine capacity:The very first thing I did was try to get one more round out of the gun mags without adding much grip length. I did achieve it with 100% reliability results but it took time, experimentation and work.
My biggest problem was adding that extra round and being able to load a full modified mag to the gun with the slide closed. The upward pressure of the rounds in the mag against the bottom of the slide made racking the slide VERY difficult. I am talking very hard and not fast at all. I ended up modifying the baseplates to allow enough give so the spring is not mashed together forming a block.
I will not own a handgun that the slide cannot be operated when a factory full mag is inserted. I went through that with a POS Remington R51. Never again.
Sights: my favorite sight picture was the Glock rear sight and a Hi-Viz fiber optic with red light pipe. That’s how I set up
all my Glocks except for my 26 and 45. Those 2 got Tru Glo TFX sights.
Side note: I traded my G26 for a Colt Detective Special.
If you do decide you want to go down the add a round to the mag rabbit hole let me know. I will post a pictorial on what I did to achieve this. I will have to go find it.
Last thing. Glocks these days are designed for 115 grain ammo, not 124 grain ammo. There is no sense in spending extra money chasing an accurate 124 grain cartridge. Also, 124 grain rounds make an already snappy recoil much worse.

In my experience it’s the keyboard commando know-it-alls that drive new members and new posters away. They like to spew their ego all over new posters and old posters that are trying a new gun or cartridge. Essentially they are bullies.
