I was thinking the same thing.

Happy New Year, Bear, and the same to the rest of you Saloonatics!

You just wait ‘til summer, buddy. I can tell you from experience that hearing the same stupid and ignorant insults over and over does get very old. Usually it’s from the same players over and over again. Over time one develops a thick skin but sometimes it becomes too much then a decision needs to be made. Do you lash out? Do you try yet again to enlighten the person? Do you try and ignore the person? Do you counter with biting humor? Do you just quit the forum because you’re sick of it? I can tell you I have considered the last option numerous times in the past. Usually I took a break for a time then came back. I can’t tell you how many time I have responded to an over used and unimaginative insult by tossing an insult back only to escalate the situation. It does no good because, in my opinion, that is exactly what the person was hoping for. Since you are online and not face to face there is only so much one can do. It’s obvious we haven’t had active site Moderation in some time. Quite often no one steps in to moderate the situation. Not that people like having a Mommy step in and mediate but sometimes it might be a good thing. Most of my life I have been “the new kid” in regard to the places I have lived. As a kid I lived in PA, GA. AL(2), NM & AR. In high school alone I went to 5 different schools in 4 years in PA. As an adult I have lived in PA(2), IL, MN, VA, CA(4), NM, OR, NC & WV. I got very used to insults about various things, like; my appearance, my clothes, my lineage, my prior living location, my monetary status, my accent, etc. About the only thing I haven’t been called is the N-word. Often things were said in jest, but even saying something in jest adds to the pile of insults and slights over time. Before you say something demeaning about a person and / or where they are from and what you think they should do try and put yourself in their shoes then keep your insult to yourself.

All the other 14’s went. They just didn’t tell you. They thought they were punishing you. Joke’s on them, huh?

I personally feel that False Valor should be punished by serving time in a military brig run by the Marine Corps. If the miscreant is dead there is not much that can be done uncles the family persists in spreading the false value then they can visit the brig for a while. PS: I know civilians can’t be put in a brig…yet!

I think you mean “Women’s Hand Warmer Muff” https://a.co/d/465eiLw

Solved Clusterphobia issues by selling guns I had lost interest in to fund guns I was interested in. My safe looks sparse but I am okay with that.

My Ruger RXM

Now get that song out of your head.

It also shoots well in my P226, P229, and Ruger RXM.

Nice shooting, @Texas Maverick I considered the P365 SAS, but couldn’t find one to actually look at. The only ones I found were online. I ended up buying the NRA 2nd Amendment edition at Academy Sports. I was getting tired of all black guns.

In all of my 9mm’s, past and present, I have found 115 grain ammo, factory and reloads, to be more accurate. Accuracy is number one with me. In my P365 I tried 115, 124 and 147 grain hand loads and factory ammo. I even tried matching Sig Sauer’s factory ammo in weight and velocity and the 115 loads out performs the 124 and 147 loads. Also: the least accurate factory round I tried was Sig Sauer’s own “365” 115 grain ammo. The most accurate factory SD ammo in my P365: 1. Winchester Defense 115gr 2. Hornady Critical Defense 115gr 3. Hornady American Gunner 115gr The Winchester Defense 115gr is the least expensive SD ammo I have found besides hand loading. Poor performers in my P365 1. Sig Sauer 365 115gr 2. Winchester Silver Tip 115gr 3. CCI Blazer JHP 115gr There are still a number of factory cartridges I have not tried. Being on a fixed income budget I find the Winchester Defense ammo most desireable at $30 per 50 round box. Winchester Silver Tip has been a major disappointment to me in 9mm, .357 Mag and .45 Colt. So much so that I will not keep their nickel plated brass for fear it will also disappoint me at some point in time. Final note: I always call gun manufacturer’s Customer Service Depts and ask what ammo, bullet grain and velocity works best in their pistols. Except for Glock, the answers I get do not pan out at the range. Glock says that 115 grain 1150fps ammo works best in their guns (2023). In 2005 they said 124 grain NATO.

That’s a beauty of a knife, @Highwall My first knife was a camping knife with a folded out fork and spoon. I do not recall the maker. I was 8 years old. I have carried at least one knife on me ever since. When my daughter turned 8 I gave her a Victorinox “Tinker”.

Something I forgot to mention: When you buy a new P365 and register the warranty Sig will give you a 15% discount on products and accessories. Orders over $100 after the discount get free shipping. I used mine to purchase 3 more 12 round mags. Now I have 6 mags and I can rotate using the 4 - 12 round mags. I can use the 10 round mags for pocket carry.

It still depends on the state…and No, that would not fly in Los Angeles.

I have a P365 and I really like it. I had a Glock 43 and the recoil was snappy. I don’t feel any snappiness with the P365. It’s accurate with a variety of ammo. it really likes Winchester Defense 115gr ammo. It’s inexpensive SD ammo. The P365 is also very reliable. I have several hundred rounds through mine with zero malfunctions. I highly recommend it.

I went to a restaurant in CA that wouldn’t take cash when I went to pay the bill. I told them “I offered you legal tender to pay my bill. If you won’t take it, I will leave and I will not pay you a BLEEPing cent!”. The manager came over and told me they do not take cash. I pointed at the camera and asked if it also recorded sound. He said “Yes” I turned to leave. All of a sudden he changed his mind. They took cash after all.

The only shops I have found that do not charge the CC Service Fee are chain stores like Sportsman’s Warehouse, Bass Pro, Academy Sports. All smaller shops charge a fee except with Debit.

Many animals show love and emotion.

Pretty sure there is supposed to be a sign and they should tell you. The usual fee is 3%
