That’s cheap. That’s not even $10/mag.

Congrats on being sober for 7 years. To me that’s more impressive than your newest purchase.

Scooped up an SMS Trinity to see how well it performs. The Vcsel IR illuminator is extremely nice and the vis laser is impressive.
Obviously for it being its initial release, there’s things that need tweaking. Like many people have previously mentioned the diffusor caps durability can be worked on, which I know SMS has said they addressed that issue. I’m unsure if I received the new updated diffusor cap with my Trinity from SMS. I did come across an aftermarket one made by FringeDev.com which looks nice, which I just got and still need to swap it out. I also came across the front sight accessory that’s made by Guns3D.net which I picked up to try out as well. I would like to see SMS mill a front sight post into the housing so it’s durable and machined out of the one block of aluminum instead of having to use a plastic aftermarket one, especially since there’s room to have it designed into the housing. It’s also nice to see that it’s truly IPX8 rated and no longer need to worry about water getting into more budget friendly LAM’s.
The two biggest things I’d like to see updated is the mode selector and to have true Vis Override added where it will default to visible laser no matter what mode you’re in when you activate white light. The mode selector needs to be made easier to find/access and swap between modes as well as have more tactile clicks between modes. The mode selector is pretty mushy and sometimes you are unable to tell what mode you’re in. For the beans you expect some cons, but it’s a solid performer output-wise and but I would like to see the Trinity updated to make it an even better unit, but even as it is, it punches way above its weight class.

I got my hanks belt today and I love it. I bought the bison collection one and it’s super comfortable. I live the color and it’s thick leather. It supports my gun wonderfully. I think I’m a hanks man for life.
I ordered an OWB holster from Outlaw Holsters for my Springfield XD-E. I have an OWB holster that accommodates an Olight Baldr S light, but just realized I didn't have an OWB without the light option. I have quite a few holsters from Outlaw Holsters and have found them to be very reasonably priced and of very good quality. This one was under $40.

Nice looking rabbit. Just so you know the wire bottoms are not good for their feet.
Upgrades have been made (the cage came with the bun). It's a big learning process. Just introduced some romaine lettuce to him today and you'd have thought he just got that crack hit.
Had to run out ad get a big new bale of Timothy hay as I expect to be snowed in for a few. I only got him a starter pack before and it was low.He's got a monitor too now that I can check at work. Damn, I'm checking all the time "Is he breathing? Is he breathing? :O"
Upgrading the shop vac too. The battery powered one doesn't like hay and poop too much without clogging. Ordered a much larger one.

If you have questions let me know we have had rabbits for years now. Good move getting Timothy hay and watch feeding too many greens because diarrhea can be really bad in bunnies. Oxbow pellets are great for them as well. I see you have a toy with him/her and it will play with toys.Upgrades have been made (the cage came with the bun). It's a big learning process.

We love ours and we’re down to three from 6-7, but not sure we will replace them when they go. 6-7 was too many, but the three we have now isn’t bad. My wife worked with a rescue and was suckered into taking the difficult ones. They all have vastly different personalities. Last caution I’ll say is make sure they poop everyday and if you get another one they can be difficult to bond. It’s not a drop one in and see how it goes type of deal.

1st .224 can. Form 4 was approved before Christmas but the FFL was closed for 2 weeks. Finally got to pick it up yesterday.
This will likely live on my 10.5" 5.56 build I'm working on but still went with the ASR mount so I can move it around to others.

Dirt squirrel? Care to elaborate?
How do you like the single six? I’d like to pick one up some day.

Dirt squirrel is what I call my NY compliant knock off of a honey badger. Cant have an SBR or a can here in NY so it’s as close as I can come.
the single six is absolutely tons of fun. Scratches the cowboy revolver and 22 revolver itch all in one gun. I like having real useable sights instead of just a blade and notch. Being able to shoot 22LR and 22 magnum with just a cylinder swap is nice. Only thing of mention is that folks with large size hands might find the grip length a little short. The gun is built solid. All steel construction unlike the aluminum frame of the ruger wrangler or the pot metal of the heritage revolvers. It has heft and weight to it.

Thanks. I’ll look for one at a descent price then. We are not large people so the short grip won’t be an issue.
Leatherman Skeletool CX in Paradise color.
With the little cotton ball to take care of I've had a lot of random little tasks pop up. Sniping wire to fix things, clipping open hay bales, tightening random doo dad's. I have a Wave but I like this smaller one too. Plus with LEO discount on Learherman.com it was cheap.

I have one of these- a CX in black and silver. I like it, but don't try to use the pliers for anything more than a set of tweezers. I snapped mine off. They were replaced pretty quickly under warranty. I'm also annoyed at how trying to cut zip ties with the wire cutters just ends up with an uncut zip tie stuck in the wire cutters.
They've cut bailing wire for me already.
I never cut zip ties like that as I use them for gear on my diving rig. I put the needlenose tip in the ratcheting mechanism and twist until it breaks. No razor sharp edges that way.
