I did two things on Sunday I thought I would never do:

  • I bought a Glock
  • I bought a Glock…on GunBroker

Its a project I’ve been putting off long enough and quite frankly I no longer can justify to myself why I should not do this.  I picked up a Glock 19x frame, in baby shit brown.  Because the 19x is the new hotness, and baby shit brown is still the hotness.  I’ll post a pic eventually of the finished project as I will be going custom.  My one question is anyone here have any experience with the Tyr Trigger and how it might compare with the Apex?  Because I live within 2 minutes of Glockmeister HQ and I can pick this up locally.  It also looks to me like Apex uses more polished surfaces to smooth it out, which is something I can replicate without trying to source a Gen 5 compatible Apex trigger, which is hit or miss because Gen 5 is the new hotness.

First world problems, amirite?

 

FACT CHECK!  Kevin McCarthy claims President Brandon only visited the US-Mexico border only once.  FACT CHECK!  Brandon indeed visited the US-Mexico border once last January.  FACT CHECK!  Brandon has visited the US-Mexico border multiple times during the Obama administration.  FACT CHECK!  Kevin McCarthy is a goddamn liar whose testicles should be nailed to a post while still attached to his decrepit body.  FACT CHECK!  Brandon is working on the problem!

I let the fùtbol do the talking for me.

In other news Title 42 is over, and Mark Cohen’s mustache got hella bushier since he was promoted from 12 News Sports.

I actually remember seeing people doing this as a kid, while visiting relatives in Nogales.

Lula imports more communists, and locates them in the part of Brazil that actually works.

Why wouldn’t Messi want to play in Argentina?

Lets lighten things up, shall we?  Have a great Tuesday.

    I have an Apex kit in a M&Pc, and I effin luv it.

    *shrug*

  2. kinnath

    I bought a Glock

    I hate Glock.

    • Drake

      The grip angle gives me fits and makes me shoot even worse than normal.

      • kinnath

        I liked the Springfield XD and S&W M&P striker-fired pistols. But I eventually went to a 1911 instead.

    • mexican sharpshooter

      So do I.

      • Sean

        The PSA Dagger frame feels so much nicer, but their hinged trigger…ick.

      • mexican sharpshooter

        Haven’t found one locally to play with. The aftermarket frames I found to be a bit…cheap. Hence the Glock frame.

  3. Tonio

    Wait, I was assured earlier today on this site that the Glock 19 is a revolver.

    • R.J.

      That’s incorrect. It’s a lever action.

      • MikeS

        An automatic lever action. Duh.

      • Tundra

        Get back to vacation, you!

      • MikeS

        Sitting in my hotel room drinking a bottle of Paulaner Hefe. Das leben ist gut.

      • Tonio

        Happy vacay, MikeS.

      • rhywun

        Prosit!

      • DEG

        If this existed and this existed, I’m sure we can come up with an automatic lever-action.

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        It’s a break action

    • mexican sharpshooter

      Its an assault weapon of mass murder.

      • The Last American Hero

        -2 lungs (blown out the back)

  4. Drake

    Lulu really does like to steal from the Dems playbook. Sending Venezuelan commies to the whitest part of Brazil (who probably went for Bolsonaro in a big way) is perfect. I’ll wager he’s fortifying enough states to ensure his party never losses again.

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      Are they commies or refugees from the commies?

      • Drake

        Refugees from their voting choices?

  5. JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

    “I actually remember seeing people doing this as a kid”

    In the 90s I remember seeing people on the Mexican side of the wall in Tijuana peering over the top looking for an opportunity to make a run for it. Back then the Border Patrol actually tried to capture them and return them rather than giving them a mobile phone and a hotel room.

  6. KK the Porcine Pearl-Eater

    I was supposed to go to the range with the neighbor to test the Glock 43, but he ain’t home yet and it’s fixin to thunder. 😠

    • Dr Mossy Lawn

      I have a G27 and find that I really needed the pinky grip baseplate extension. I don’t like having that last finger hanging free.

      I also use a grip glove to put a little bulge into the palm, and give the finger grip ridges (my Glocks are all gen 1)

      • pistoffnick

        I love it when you talk dirty to me.

      • KK the Porcine Pearl-Eater

        I have lady hands…I liked the feel when I gripped it 😏

      • Not Adahn

        What day were you stopping in Bennington (Brrattleboro?)?

      • KK the Porcine Pearl-Eater

        I’m not heading north at alll…real estate issues. I have to save my $

      • Not Adahn

        Oh well, I was going to see if there was a Kayaderosseras match you could bring the new gun to then.

  7. CPRM

    It only took a week to get my internet working again! No more worrying about running outta Data! Woohoo! Just in time for my last day of vacation. 🐌🦅

    • Grosspatzer

      Huzzah!

      “Just in time for my last day of vacation.”

      Does this mean you can work from home?

      • CPRM

        No, my work has to be on the system, which is air-gapped.

        But now I’m back to the BLAZING speed that the only provider I can get without data caps provides, 5.91 Mbps! WOOOSH!

      • KK the Porcine Pearl-Eater

        Data limits have been the bane of my existence for the last year

      • Pat

        My $94 a month service got upgraded from 20 Mbps to 50 Mbps this year. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        Almost assuredly thanks to taxpayers, my $92/month internet is gigabit.

      • R C Dean

        We’re around 400 MBPS for $90/month. Cable internet from *spit* Xfinity. The service is actually good – pretty stable, not much downtime at all. No data limits.

    • Not Adahn

      So what’s the score of the Cal game?

  8. The Late P Brooks

    re: Tundra’s million pounds of trash link in dedthred

    Brought to you by the same people who think one part per fifty billion of mercury in cement plant exhaust will kill us all. Same people who think what plants crave is a lethal pollutant. You know, environmentalists.

    • Count Potato

      Brawndo is a lethal pollutant?

      • Ted S.

        To be fair, Brawndo *was* salting the earth.

  9. DEG

    But Brazil has become a popular choice for many Venezuelans partly because of a five-year-old program that offers eligible applicants work permits and even free flights to faraway parts of the huge country. Approvals into the program have surged in the post-pandemic period.

    “Work permits”. If they’re working, they might not be actual Communists.

    • MikeS

      Thanks for all the info. Haven’t had a good chance to reply to you. It’s all been taken under advisement. I’ll do my best to give you an update when I get a chance.

      • DEG

        You’re welcome! I look forward to hearing about your trip!

    • creech

      Pretty clever move by his handlers. Everyone knows there won’t be a default. This gives Brandon gravitas: “he knocked heads together and saved our economy.”

      • Sensei

        Yup.

    • Sensei

      Too bad. Your parents voted to posture and now reap what they sowed.

    • Scruffyy Nerfherder

      “they’re fleeing war and they don’t have a home and you’re not gonna have your gym?”

      What war?

      • Pat

        Forget it, he’s rolling.

      • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

        The one in Ukruatemala.

    • rhywun

      OFFS!

      Watching pretense collide with reality is pretty damn amusing.

    • The Other Kevin

      And they wonder why kids have so many mental health issues.

    • Tonio

      It’s a trick the 24-year-old content creator learned from TikTok: use a dumpy “subway shirt” to conceal the actual outfit you plan to wear out. It will keep creeps from staring during the commute.

      That’s okay, Sensei. I’ll go ahead and make some since I have zero fucks to give.

      Had some old white guy like me told her to cover up we all know what type of pushback I’d get. But when a fellow Tik-Tokker suggests covering up, well, it’s the thing to do!

  10. Count Potato

    Is it just me or is this site running slower than a three-legged horse?

  11. Pat

    Lets lighten things up, shall we?

    I liked that song better as Cecilia

    • rhywun

      Surprisingly, the S&G is less heinous.

  12. Grosspatzer

    “New Yorkers love to shed their winter layers as soon as the first signs of spring hit the city. But for women who take advantage of sundress season, the much-anticipated warm weather can also bring unwanted attention.”

    What’s the point of wearing attractive outfits if you don’t want attention?

    • slumbrew

      They don’t want unattractive guys looking at them, just the hot guys. Duh.

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        Be attractive.

        Don’t be unattractive.

      • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

        Yep.

    • creech

      Like a sleeve of tattoos. I’ve been asked more than once “what are you looking at?” in a confrontational manner.

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        Watched an interesting argument at a CEO networking event between an artist and a structural engineer. He asked her what the glaringly obvious tattoos on her tits meant and she took offense.

        Somewhat surprisingly, the women in attendance told her that if she didn’t want to be asked about it then she should have covered it up.

  13. Count Potato

    “I was so disgusted by the Jan. 6 riot that I deleted my Twitter account. I wrote introspective pieces on wanting to be part of the solution. (And I never liked Trump, and I thought Biden beat him.)

    The Durham Report is 100x worse than Jan. 6. It didn’t reveal a handful of nuts getting out of hand & stealing a lectern.

    It revealed our highest law enforcement agency trying to undo an election on ZERO evidence.

    It didn’t disrupt a formal nomination proceeding for 3 hours. It disrupted a presidency for 3 years.”

    https://twitter.com/politicalsock/status/1658245445183762433

    “The national security agencies ran a soft coup against the sitting President of the United States, disrupting 3 years of his administration but promise they had nothing at all to do with Jan 6”

    https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1658423320813903875

    So the two biggest stories about Trump, that went on for years, ad nauseum, were fake shit staged by the government.

    • Scruffyy Nerfherder

      Hey dipshit, the Jan 6 riots happened because of the things you’re now upset about.

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      It may be worse but it’s not as photogenic. The Jan 6 riot made for great video which has far more emotional resonance.

  14. Raven Nation

    Anybody ever connect with Trigger Hippie after his cryptic response a month or so back?

    • R C Dean

      Yeah, this. As far as I know, he’s gone completely dark.

  15. Tonio

    Okay, her WebDomness is aware of this

    A solution is forthcoming, but it may take several days to get there. So, batten down the hatches, mateys, there’s rough seas ahead.

    • Tundra

      It’s a good exercise for developing patience. It’s so funny how pissed I get when I have to wait for anything online.

      I remember having software that ran at night because the 10 megabit file took hours to download.

      *throws belt onions at clouds*

      • Nephilium

        One could say it was an exercise to build stoicism amongst the lot of us.

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        IT’S NOT FRIDAY YET

    • The Last American Hero

      Bunch of stoics. Should be no problem.

    • Gender Traitor

      But Mercury Gatorade is over tomorrow, so everything should be just peachy, right?? 😃

    • Zwak , who will swing for the crime, in double time!

      The seas where angry that day, my friends!

    • Drake

      That’s how a guy who is cheerful about the whole thing walks into a courtroom.

    • rhywun

      And I was wondering why initial stories kept mentioning the killer’s sister. Of course, it’s because he was banging her.

      According to investigators, Lee and Ms. Momeni were casually sleeping together. Three years prior, Lee had been sleeping with a different woman that his accused killer had been dating, friends say.

      Dude.

    • Dr. Fronkensteen

      Was this some type of honor killing?

      • Tundra

        There’s zero honor in this story.

    • Grosspatzer

      * wipes away tear *

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        *throws single dollar into the Money Hole*

    • Pat

      Lia Thomas still has a cock and balls. And no tits. And went through male puberty. And has male physiology and secondary sexual characteristics. But other than that, the comparison is hilariously apt. Well done.

      • one true athena

        As far as I can tell, the only thing William did to become Lia is grow out his hair. Maybe hormones? something got fucked up in his face too seems like – he was a decent looking young man and is an ugly “woman”.

      • Not Adahn

        Not enough hormones to prevent him from fucking his AFAB gf.

    • Scruffyy Nerfherder

      Huren Wutend

      Not quite as catchy

    • Pat

      While it’s nice to see some pushback on woke corporate politics, to be perfectly honest, I’d be really fucking psyched if the managers and executives of companies that sell products to the general public just shut the fuck up about political and social issues entirely and just focused on peddling their wares. Jesus Christ, doesn’t anybody have personal friends and family anymore to whom they can vent their thoughts, feelings and opinions without having to have every fucking thing validated on Twitter? Is there really nobody who just wants to buy the best quality shit at the fairest price without having their purchase reflect some higher moral and political meaning?

      • Scruffyy Nerfherder

        Dude, that’s what proles do. Elites trumpet their virtues.

      • Q Continuum

        Once again, it’s due to nihilistic emptiness. In the absence of any true beliefs, values or faith, people become Hoffer’s True Believers. Western Elites have the easiest, most abundant lives in human history. They must fill the hole somehow.

      • rhywun

        just shut the fuck up about political and social issues entirely

        Agree but they (all sides) do this to chase more sales.

      • Pat

        With a more niche product category like guns and ammo that makes a certain amount of sense since there’s an inherent political element involved due to the gun control issue. Not only can you afford to piss off the political left, since they’re very unlikely to be your customers anyway, but it might even build better rapport with your existing customers (at the very least, as long as it satisfies more of them than it pisses off you’re still ahead). With things like banking services, or beer, or food, or retail sales… all I can say is it’s a very different world than when I studied market segmentation in college.

      • Michael Malaise

        But the younger generations really care about companies that care.

    • Q Continuum

      H&K is shit. They’re no better than Taurus and cost 4x as much.

      • Grummun
  16. Scruffyy Nerfherder

    When life gives you meth, TAKE ALL OF IT AND SKI YOUR ASS OFF.

    https://allthatsinteresting.com/aimo-koivunen

    Back in Finland, the squad had received a ration of a stimulant called Pervitin. The tablets would give soldiers a burst of energy, commanders promised. Koivunen initially resisted taking the drug. But his men were in desperate circumstances.

    So Koivunen reached into his pocket and pulled out the stimulants.

    By chance, Koivunen carried the Pervitin supply for his entire squad. Still fleeing the Soviets, pressing through the snow, Koivunen struggled to pop a single pill in his mouth. The thick mittens meant to protect him from arctic conditions made it impossible to take a single dose of Pervitin.

    Rather than stop to parse out the recommended dose, Aimo Koivunen downed 30 pills of pure methamphetamine.

    Immediately, Koivunen began skiing much faster. His squad matched his pace initially. And the Soviets fell back, unable to keep up with the new pace.

    Then Koivunen’s vision went blurry and he lost consciousness. But he did not stop skiing. In a blackout state, Koivunen continued to cut through the snow.

    At the end of his ordeal, Koivunen had crossed 400 kilometers of territory – or 250 miles. His weight dropped to only 94 pounds. And his heart rate remained a shocking 200 beats per minute.

    • Tundra

      Wild. Is speed still a staple in the military?

      • Pat

        Ever since this incident you don’t hear much about it, but presumably they’re still using them.

        Amphetamines: so dangerous and deadly they should only be taken by schoolboys and fighter pilots.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Seems like they could use Modafinil nowadays to achieve a similar effect now with WAY less craziness and side effects.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        It’s a wonderful drug, all the good effects of Adderall and the like with none of the bad, at least when taken very occasionally on a recreational basis.

  17. The Late P Brooks

    Newsflash-

    Grass continues to grow whether you feel like chopping it down or not.

  18. The Late P Brooks

    While it’s nice to see some pushback on woke corporate politics, to be perfectly honest, I’d be really fucking psyched if the managers and executives of companies that sell products to the general public just shut the fuck up about political and social issues entirely and just focused on peddling their wares.

    Seriously. Apocryphal or not, what the fuck happened to “Republicans buy shoes, too, man”?

    • Q Continuum

      Seems like a major market opportunity to me.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Sounds like something a black white supremacist would say.

  19. Q Continuum

    Q: Why doesn’t Mexico ever win in the Olympics?

    A: Because everyone who can run, jump or swim is already in the US!

    /one of many utterly non-PC middle school jokes from growing up in New Mexico

    • Pat

      How do they take the census in Mexico? Roll a US quarter down the street.

      Who’s the richest man in Mexico? The guy who caught the quarter.

      Apparently middle school jokes are the same up north, too.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        How can you tell who’s the king of Ethiopia?

        He’s the one with a watch around his waist.

  20. The Late P Brooks

    Seems like a major market opportunity to me.

    The Subaru ad campaign aimed at car-buying dogs is starting to look like a stroke of genius.

  21. Q Continuum

    I really want to buy an M1A Socom…

    …but $1700…

    …then again, I’ve also wanted to just bite the bullet (so to speak) and get a Colt Commando SBR…

    …$1100 + $200 stamp + NFA bullshit…

    …opinions?

    (I know you all are going to say “buy both!”; believe me I would, but I seriously only have a budget for one or the other)

    • Ted S.

      Maybe if you spent less on tits….

    • Timeloose

      I didn’t like the Socom. Open sites are fine, any type of scope is very awkward with the rail so far forward . I also don’t like sliding exposed bolt on the right side of the stock.

      • Muzzled Woodchipper

        You need something you can place a few inches forward, like an Acog or red dot of some kind.

    • Michael Malaise

      I want to buy a different kind of thing for shooting … an 18-35mm lens. Price about the same.

    • EvilSheldon

      With eFile, NFA bullshit isn’t as much of a big deal as it used to be. Which is good, ’cause that Colt Commando will suck ass to shoot unless it has a can on it.

    • slumbrew

      I’ve seen a few reviews of the SOCOM and they weren’t good. Heavy, awkward to use and inaccurate. And expensive.

      They look cool, though.

    • Drake

      I liked shooting the Socom a lot less than the regular sized M1A / M14.

  22. The Bearded Hobbit

    Worker here today had a tee-shirt with the silhouette of a bear with antlers. Caption: “BEER”

    I laughed.

  23. Sensei

    HK pulled the tweet.

    • slumbrew

      Looks like I was wrong about it being a dumbass intern. Which is even worse, really.

      Maybe she can trade job hunting tips with that lady who used to work for Bud Light.

      • Sensei

        Being edgy, but not too edgy isn’t easy.

        But what she did was double down on stupid.

  24. Mojeaux

    Welp. I thought this day was going to be a total bust, but so far, one thing I thought I’d fucked up (job interview) turned out to be not fucked up (advanced to next round of interviews). The second thing shouldn’t have been fucked up, but I ended up having to do the project a different way, which I didn’t think I’d be able to, but I found a way.

    • Pat

      Congratulations

  25. Mojeaux

    Who was going to de-fog their headlights this weekend? Were you successful?

    • slumbrew

      Me, and the schedule slipped (but I did finally finish refinishing the patio furniture).

      Headlights hopefully tomorrow after work. Weather looks promising. Minor road trip this weekend, so I’m motivated. I’ll take pics.

      • R.J.

        Did you ever post finished patio furniture pictures?

      • slumbrew

        After: https://ibb.co/9p8BsJv

        It’s some cheap-ass acacia wood, so I could only do so much.

        I definitely saved some money vs. just tossing it and getting new stuff. Assuming my time at $0/hr., that is…
