    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    Hell yea, good stuff. My gym isn't really conducive to that kind of training, unfortunately, so I do basic stuff. My split is: -Chest -Back, including rear delt isolation work Rest/cardio/walk -Arms including side and front delts -Legs (quads/glutes) -Leftovers (isolation for calves, abs...

    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    Anyone else here got any good updates? I'm down to around 20% bodyfat in the low 190s (down from a peak of 33% in September at 223lbs). I look and feel 10x batter already, but I'm not done yet. Now the hard work really begins as I'm looking to grind my way down to a goal of the mid 170s by...

    Ruger Mark III Hunter inaccurate

    The barrel/receiver slop against the frame is worth investigating first. Besides that, I would say ammo is a very likely culprit if you recently switched. Try some standard velocity lead rounds. Finally, check your red dot mount. Make sure the mount itself is locked down tight. Also make sure...

    .357 Revolvers

    The GP100 5" is a nice gun. Their triggers aren't as good as Smiths or Colts, but have a lot of room for improvement with a good trigger job. I like the 686 a little better, but you really can't go wrong with either as far as I'm concerned. I just got a 5" S&W 625, (.45 ACP) full underlug to...

    BREAKING: President Trump's Administration Has Located 75,000 to 80,000 of the 300,000 Children Trafficked

    That article was absolutely devoid of any facts or evidence. It'd be nice if it was true, but it reads like clickbaity BS.

    Speeding, drugs, guns and DWI

    Triple loads with the fastest powder out there and bullets that will chamber, but not fit the bore. I'm talking a 9x19 cartridge with a compressed load of as much IMR 700 X as will fit in the case and still get a 0.365" diameter 9mm Makarov bullet to press in, then a firm crimp to really get...

    NYS now mandates employers offer paid prenatal hours for health care services

    If anyone questions it, just gotta claim age discrimination. Or tell them you both may be 60, but you identify as 16.

    What's your EDC handgun?

    Those pouches got me to switch. I get the nicotine hit, they don't stain teeth, and they make your breath better. The stained teeth was what convinced me to switch. I'll still pack a lip on a hunt or a rugged hike though.

    What's your EDC handgun?

    I like your style there @RooftopKorean so I'll lay out my EDC options the same way. A watch and the memorial bracelet go everywhere with me but the gym. Not always going to be my Luminox, but it's definitely my highest mileage watch. I always carry a pen and a knife, the thin CRKT CEO being...

    Sen. Liz Kreuger says NY should secede to escape Trump presidency

    I'm behind enemy lines and would gladly support splitting the state.

    S&W M&P Compact Carry Comp Range Report

    I think the Carry Comp really is one of the best in its size class. As far as the Sig FCU, I think its application is limited, but can be very excellent in a few cases. Specifically, it works great to buy a 365 XMacro for a slimline compact and for about $150 buy an XL grip module and magazine...

    S&W M&P Compact Carry Comp Range Report

    I always say about H&K that if Batman carried a pistol, it would be a VP9. Good to see that's on the market. The stock Shield thumb safety is hot garbage that's difficult to reliably disengage in a hurry.

    S&W M&P Compact Carry Comp Range Report

    I was never a big fan of the old school M&P guns, but S&W's latest polymer guns have really impressed me big-time. The new triggers are a huge improvement over their hinged BS, I always liked their ergos well enough, but they're excellent now, and they've really gone up in fit and finish. Very...

    Fitness and prepardness.. but im tired today

    Indomethacin and Colchicine, both meant to treat the acute symptoms. 24 hours later about 80% of the pain and inflammation is gone. Nothing preventative like Allopurinol because I went to an urgent care and they didn't have the stuff to test for gout, so the doctor decided to treat me as a...
