re: "Knew what pitch was coming"

Interesting story I'd really like to know more details about, not just speculation. I didn't watch the post game, but it's malpractice for a reporter to not f/u on Coach's comment. OTOH, I could see Coach Johnson give a Les Miles type "explanation" and never sharing any actual details about the incident. :lol:

I know a guy who was a scholarship baseball player at a small college many years ago. Since he played little his freshman year, he was tasked w/ figuring out the opponents signs and signals. He told me he usually had them figured out part way through the game. I'm sure things have changed w/ the advent electronic coms, but there still may be some old school "stealing" of signs and observing tells going on at times.

When I saw the original post was from Jessica Tarlov, I didn't bother reading it. Her "take" is heavy on emotions buy factually wrong. Whenever she's on Fox 5 PM show, Jessie Watters tears her up so bad I ALMOST feel sorry for her. :lol:

Most of my cc is done w/ a Sig P365 in a Ronin Leather Holster "Okami" OWB holster. Before the Sig, I carried a Kimber Micro 9 in a Ronin Leather Holster "SW Special Snap On". When I started cc, I used IWB holsters, but I now use OWB. When clothing calls for pocket carry, I'll have a Kahr CW380 in a Rob Keaton pocket holster.

Be prepared to get a LOT of different rec's. There are a lot of good 30 cal cans out there and it's only natural for everyone to think what they have is what you need. :lol: Having said that, my two 30 cal cans are the Silencer Co Harvester 30 and Dead Air Nomad L. The Harvester is longer and lighter than most, but it may not be robust enough for your needs. The Dead Air Nomad L is rugged and quiet. I run it on 284 Win and a 22 Nosler bolt action handguns. If I were looking for another 30 cal can at this time, I'd also look at the Otter Labs Polonium 30. I recently too possession of the Polonium 5.56 and really like it. As someone else suggested, you'll need to decide what you want from the suppressor and pick the one(s) that meet those needs and, if you want it now, is in stock.Nosler Custom Handgun in 22 Nosler w/ Dead Air Nomad L

I carried a Kimber MIco 9 for a number of years. I liked it. Small, light, easy to cc, reasonably accurate and nice looking. I didn't like the 10# trigger when I first shot it, but the trigger dropped to 7# after it had been shot some. The one time I had a problem w/ it was my fault. During the height of Covid ammo was hard to come by so I went a while w/o shooting the M9. Unfortunately, that meant I also went a while w/o cleaning. Consequently the M9 got very dirty and didn't shoot well the next time I shot it. Of course, that can happen w/ any gun. I cleaned it and It's been fine ever since. My only other "compaint" w/ the gun was it flung spent brass EVERYWHERE, oftentimes 20 feet away. I'm sure that could be corrected, but I didn't pursue it.

The only issue, though, is that it's still a 380 and I would really like a small 9. Everything else seems to be of the Glock clone style, which is just pretty damn uncomfortable to appendix carry.

Another small 9mm is the Kahr CM9. I've carried the CM9 before and really like it. The Kahr trigger is more like a smooth revolver DA trigger than a Glock trigger. I didn't have any problems w/ the Kahr trigger, especially since there are no external safeties.

they wouldn't do it if people pushed back and rejected the tip.

That would be true if we lived in normal times. But we now live in "bizarro world" so nothing is normal anymore. Since it's become normal to add the optional tip to one's order, they'll just continue adding it, no matter how stupid we think it is or how much we push back. Since there's no extra expense on their end to add the optional tip, any tip they get will be gravy.

I think they should not provide that level of tracking information.

That's part of the problem. Compared to UPS/Fed Ex, the USPS tracking software is useless. It indicates when it was shipped, but doesn't usually provide anymore tracking until the package is delivered. Around here, packages frequently stay in Shreveport for days on end.

I shoot them when I get a chance to but I dont think they really hurt much. Wild dogs on the other hand I think are a major tremendous problem, and you can effectively do something about those.

Interesting comment about wild dogs. Plz share more. In addition, is there any distinction between truly wild/feral dogs vs a house dog that's basically free ranging??
