Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SecretSquirell: Very. The 2.0 improved the grip even more. I have not held a 2.0, I didn't realize the grip changed. I would seek one out to hold, if prices and availability weren't so crazy right now. Besides, I just got two Strike80 frames delivered today, so I'm going to be pretty stocked up on pistols by the time I finish building out all of these that I've bought in the past couple of months. I'm thinking I'll finish the subcompact and one Strike80, then hold off on the other three P80s and hope parts prices come back down at some point. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Justabulletaway: I've had it with roasted pecans or sunflower seeds in it as well. I had a Gerber on standby just in case. Now that you say that, I've had it with sunflower seeds, too. Pecans sounds really good, though. Or slivered almonds. I think I'm going to have to make some one of these days now. Wise move. Something that's actually built to do real work, instead of just look pretty in your Instagram posts. |

I think the ergos are the same if not very close, but the texturing is spot on. I hate that they "fixed" the auto load "feature". Used to be able to slam a mag home and it would drop the slide and chamber a round. They added a detent of some kind to keep it from doing that. And they added a fence around the lever that makes it harder to release, but I've always been one to pull the slide back and let it fly home. |

I wish they would make a 3.5" or larger version though. It's much smaller than I expected. I didn't read the specs all that closely. I came close to buying one on black friday or on some other sale and kept regretting it so I finally just had enough and said screw it. Edit: definitely not as nicely finished as the Ritter knife. That's the only Hogue I've had so I was expecting similar quality. It's not bad, but it's a bit disappointing in comparison, and IMO not nearly as great a value. |

If there is something you want, and you have someone local it can be transferred in to, my FFL seems to get preferential treatment from distributors. He can order and redirect. I don't know about the M&P series, but on the Shield, it made a big difference. Still not a Sig. |

I am not a fan of the blade. No secret there. Or the length. The scales look a bit...what's the word...we'll just say nasty and in poor taste. FWIW my daughter is standing here looking over my shoulder and said, hey, that's a cool knife. Keep in mind she is 5 and thinks Elsa is better than Anna, so she doesn't always say the most rational things.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By conndcj: It's that time of the year gentlemen.. St. Joseph's is upon us. Because Easter is so early this year, the Feast of St. Joseph's is early as well. It's a fat pill time of year. These start when the famous Polish "punch-kees" end. Zeppoli St. Giuseppe are a sweet, thin crust pastry filled with vanilla or chocolate pastry cream or ricotta cannoli filling. Vanilla is the overwhelming favorite (pictured). With a nice double espresso, these things are awesome. They age you geometrically but they are yummy.  That is not keto friendly, but looks damn tasty. |

Length I'm not so sure on either, it's smaller than I expected something a little bigger, even if only a bit. The scales I go back and forth on. Not sure.
