Couple of online sources list the L9A1 being retired in the "late 80s", with the the L105A1 being adopted by the MoD in 1990. I would ASSume that the SAS would have gotten the Sigs earlier than the...

I don't think 228s were a thing then. Big mags in standard guns were...

I was successfully ignoring the two at a local pawn shop, one NIB without the Boye detent, and one new looking, no box/papers with the Boye detent. $120 and $80 respectively.

I don't know how...

It is a personal decision on how you load your bowel, right? Asking for a friend.

I mixed up a bunch of Ed's Red about a decade ago. I store it in a .50 cal ammo can that doubles as a parts dunk. I like for my 1911, all but the slide and grips. Most other pistols are plastic,...

Last week I cut some chicken breasts into strips and put them in a container with teriyaki sauce. Pulled them out and put them on a rack to dry a little. Sprinkled with Blackstone Teryaki seasoning...

Fixing Brat the First's birthday dinner here. French bread pizzas. If you use canned tomato sauce do yourself a favor and fry up some pork, normally breakfast sausage, to add to the simmering,...

But in correct P-F colors, I noted...

From my understanding, that is exactly what it was intended to do. I saw Todd G. shooting initial prototypes, and have taken several classes, and thus, several meals with the inventor. Not...

When we had that big cold snap last week I made a big pot of pinto beans, using a new recipe that produced results surprisingly close to the restaurant beans I have been trying for years to...

I have been to a SWAT school or two, and I have trained some SWAT guys. My current agency is small, with ZERO SWAT capability. But the training requirement is real, and for patrol cops that aren't...

Remember that drill well, but it was a DA/SA Sig, and a piece of paper. And you called me old...:p

Yep. Despite the stains and rips, I still love my armorer's t-shirt from Specialized Armament with the back showing a dude firing a burst with the admonition "it was like that when I got it..."

Thanks, dude. Despite our previous issues I still respect you and your opinions, too!

I have seen that response when local agencies, including mine and my former agency, try to put it on with less resources. Or guys that don't teach it frequently. Or guys that try to teach the...

I am glad HCM used the ALERRT video, as that is where I first heard the term "threshold evaluation". The SIMs testing mentioned in the class is then reinforced with a few dozen SIMs runs by the...

Whole Hog might be a chain from elsewhere. Maybe I fell for their decor...Their website is kinda poorly done, but if I read it right the only non NM reference to doing business is a trailer...

Rudy's smokes their carne adovada, and Blakes used to, and I think they still do. Both places offer pulled pork type sandwiches, but as a very, very minor menu role. Both places make their own food...

There is a local place that turned a competitive bbq hobby into a restaurant with two locations. The have a cardboard sixpack beer bootle caddy on each table with six different sauces. When I go to...

Awesome, Sean!

You called me to task on a medical training issue with a terse one sentence comment on mindset. Scolding is likely overstating. But it knocked me back in my lane and made me explain my position a...

Also, pay as you go makes a lot of sense for teens. My 13 year old lost his phone about 6 months ago. Lost. Not broken. My 16 year old cannot go 3 months with a new phone before damaging the...

When I order in those places, it is almost always "give me what you eat here".

Not claiming much BBQ gravitas, since NM is not a BBQ location, but we cook a lot of meat with smoke, or in ground ovens, like the original boucans,but one local burger chain and one regonal BBQ...
