Was finally able to pick up my Sig. Took the state two plus weeks to process the background check. 

Very nice!  I'm trying my best not to buy this.

I have no need for it, I don't have any other 10mm's but I sure do want it!.  If he drops the price one more time I may not be able to resist. 

If I lived in bear country I might buy a 10. Until then there’s nothing wrong with my 40 S &W. I do want a compact 9 though, thinking about a Walther.

    Might I recommend at least a .44 mag, .357 if your confident, or a 12ga with slugs. Even if your hunting game with a high power rifle you still carry a revolver for throw down. 

If the bear leaves me alone I am perfectly willing to do the same. Not planning on doing any bear hunting.

 That is usually the plan, I am just saying if a grizzly is about to scalp you, chew on your skull and bury you in a shallow grave for a snack later you may want to rethink your personal protection. Generally your hiking through the woods, step around a corner and there is a sow and two cubs or a fresh bear kill and all bets are off. Fwiw

My favorite rancher/entrepreneur had a limited restock last week.  She delivered these to my door yesterday.

Waited a looooong time before deciding to pull the trigger.  Hopefully no regrets.

I'm reverse buying.  I am encouraging the local soccer (futball) community to attend USL (LCFC) matches this season and giving up tix to selected matches.  Brand new (aka virgin stadium) linked here https://www.loucity.com/lynnfamilystadium  is a great venue.  With the audibles to the schedule the opening match was July 12th.  The club has done it right.  Attendance limited to around 30% capacity and the stadium seating is like a checkerboard setup. Masks required; one warning yellow card, second warning red card and escorted out.  Temperature checks at the entrance-staggered entrance times thru gates based on your seats.  Plenty of social distancing at the beer and bourbon dispensaries and rest rooms as well.  Hope it is a template for the future of fall sports.    FWIW-

Went to the grocery store this morning for the first time in 5 months.  Just got tired of paying the premium for Instacart and generally having a pricing or quality issue every delivery.

Thinking hard on a salamander oven - there are the Otto Wilde versions, then there is one more in my range.. $200.  I have a good ceramic sear burner that has really upped my steaks, but this is the next step.  Also, cheese melter!

As a suburban youth, gangster rap was my #1 favorite and I had the subs rocking. Kind of funny but nothing wrong with that! I still listen time to time but my main tastes have for sure changed. Still hate country though!

I get it that they rap about situations they deal with in their communities, and I have no insight at all into that. But the beats and the rhyming are just so fun to listen to, even if it was in a language I don't speak.

But yes, it has been a long time since I had subs in the car. My wife thinks I'm nuts. I also have two car seats in the car. But the Rona' lockdown makes you think of creative hobbies and projects....

 Car broken into 2x while in the driveway and I never had them again.

I am in process of acquiring my first handgun.  Actually, I’ve been “processing” since July 25th.  Here, it’s hoop after hoop after hoop...  4 hours of classroom training, fingerprinting and background checking.  Once completed, you can now apply for an HQL (Handgun Qualifying License) - HQL application processing is 2-4 weeks (I’m 2 weeks in).  Once your HQL is processed and approved, it’s another 2 weeks for printing and delivery of your certificate.  Once you receive your certificate and identify the handgun you intend to acquire, you then submit an application to purchase a handgun to Maryland State Police, who will issue you an approval code within 3 days.  You then take the approval code to the gunshop to make your purchase.  Now begins a 7-day cooling off period (as if you’re not already cool enough), and on the 8th day you may possess your handgun. 

I’m settled on a 9mm - in fact, since ammo is scarce I’ve already begun making some purchases here and there.  I would welcome suggestions on make/model.  Personal at-home protection is primary purpose, and although this is my first handgun, I would like something that might fit in a shooting enthusiast’s collection (adding accessories, frequent use at shooting range).

Thanks in advance.

Glock model 19, probably more modifications available for Glocks available than just about anything. I would start with the sights and follow up with a class in shooting them and gun safety. Oh and a small gun safe for your bedside, they have some that key to your fingerprints.

Either a glock 17 or a Smith and Wesson mp9

$75.00  Searsall ( BTW I have wanted a salamander but his is great for home )

@Gulfcoastguy The folks I did the 4 hour classroom with offer a next steps training session that covers home defense strategies and involves shooting at least 200 rounds at the range.  Definitely going to go it.

oh, and looking at a Vaultek model that reads fingerprints for bedside

This. I’ve owned Glocks and decided the M&P fit my hand much better. Can’t go wrong with either. HK also makes the P30 or the VP9. VP9 is exactly like a Glock or M&P, striker fired.

I just purchased the Sig P320 M18.  There are lots of mods for that gun as well.  I too purchased a Vaultek, however I went with the Lifepod.  I like the versatility of it.  I keep the gun in it at home and while transporting, but I can put the gun in my more traditional safe and use the Pod for travel and other things.

JohnEggGio

@saluki2007 Will consider the pod.  Here in Maryland, unless you have a carry permit, which is very hard to get, legal transport is pretty much limited to between home and range, with gun and ammo separated.

Cool.

I bought a Northfire Inferno a year ago and it has been pretty good.

When you get it I suggest you do the slices of bread test so you can see where the hot/cool spots are as these don't heat totally evenly so you'll likely need to do some shifting/rotating some things to get a more even crust.

Why did I feel like crying for joy, as if we had just won WW2, throughout that entire video?  Very inspirational!

Timing is everything-75 years ago today Japan surrendered to end WWII.
