Talking with wife tonight about how bad Biden is, seeing him in campaign commercials it is painful, like he is barely hanging on to life. She comments yeah, he is 81 years. I says that isn't that old for some people. She says, By that point politicians should be done. Look at Joe Lieberman's age, he died from a fall. Joe could too. Trump isn't far away. None of these old fools should be in office. I said there are older people that are competent. She says even if we found a competent person that age, the stamina is an issue addressing the affairs of the nation.
Can't argue with her. She continues surfing on her phone... Oh, I found one we can all agree on even at 84, Chuck Norris. Still can't argue with her. |

Orange man is the only president I can recall who didn't seem to be effected by the office. It seems like most people age dramatically in their term but T money ate that shit up.
I agree that there should be an age limit or some kind of competency test though. |

he wasn't affected by the office because he didn't do anything. He had people to run the show and all he did was ponce around like a fucking idiot everyday, posting stupid shit on social media.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
Haven't decided which knife to carry today. Toss up between the 110KS and the Sigma. Will update with pic when it happens. Made a lidded box out of apple wood for all you drug hiders! 3 1/2 high by 3 round.  Attached FileNot sure if I posted this one yet. Bowl made out of sassafras wood. I turned and burned all the beads into it. Not happy with the markers I used for coloring. They didn't fit into the space and also didn't cover well.  Attached File |

Couple of quick questions: How many steps to cleaning does the comp add? You have to remove the comp to disassemble the slide for cleaning, right? Why the TLR7 instead of the TLR1 or HL? Plenty of holsters are available and the HL throws a good amount of light. |

Zero issue with normal sights or no sights, but the whole dot thing messed with me. I'd have to entirely retrain myself. MRDS on pistols does take some training and practice. Couple of things to keep in mind: We've all been taught for years to focus on the front sight. Target is blurry, front sight is crisp and centered in the rear sight. Rear sight is blurry. Front sight is the focus. With optics on pistols, you actually focus on the target and do not focus on the dot. Most people, (myself included) seem to want to focus on the dot and substitute it for the front sight. Doing this will cause you to miss the target. Focusing on the dot will cause you to chase the target and not hit the intended point. There is alot more visible movement with the dot vs the front sight. This will cause the shooter to "chase the bullseye" and suppress the hell out of the target instead of actually hitting the target. There is the same amount of movement as before, it just is not as visible as it is with the dot. Many new MRDS adopters who are older seem to prefer a larger dot and then graduate to smaller dots as time goes on. I myself have noticed that a 6 MOA is easier to find in the window than the 2 MOA dot I was using at the range yesterday. It just requires practice to get acclimated. One thing that is interesting to note is that most people who cannot find the dot are not presenting the handgun properly from the holster. Proper presentation will bring the dot to the eye quickly and easily. Improper presentation will result in people searching for the dot. It's a muscle memory thing. Do it a bunch and you'll be finding the dot without issue. |

It's a decent little light, but it is not perfect. I also have the TLR1 HL and that light does quite alot. For most uses, the TLR7 is just fine. Sometimes, more light is necessary. |
