trust the same intelligence community who said the hunter biden laptop was russian disinformation.

I have the original SIG 365 as my go to CCW for it's, but I also really like the S&W 642 airweight for simplicity and reliability. I also have the PC charger with that brace. I think it may have been that exact YT review that convinced me. I have a Sig Romeo and ordered a Silencer Central Banish 30 can for it back in Jan. Hope it gets here soon. I'd like to swap out the forward grip stop for something more substantial, but not sure what I can get away with.

I have been carrying the Hellcat for years, bought the P365X and put a Holosun on it. I typically grab the Hellcat, feels more natural and easier to conceal than the 365. I probably need a new holster for the 365. Both are great, I have very large hands and both have slightly larger grips so I feel like I have better hand position. Anyone carry a bigger weapons in their vehicle? I have a bag on the back of the passenger seat with a Ruger PC Charger...love the gun. Folding stock keeps it very small and maneuverable. Accepts the Glock 30 round Mags, keep three in the bag which is a lot of firepower to beat down the zombies and get back to my bunker.

Hey! You can be taught. I think there's hope for you yet. Instead of a 10 year old event unrelated to the current conflict, you've somehow combed through over 1800 episodes and found a 4 year old podcast unrelated to the current conflict. It ain't much, but it's something. I'm sure it took a lot of effort, so I'll commend you for it. Side thought: Are you at work today? Hmmm. Remember that comment I made about you being the high school debate team's one trick pony? You'll will never abandon your ad-hominem tactic no matter how transparent it makes your unwillingness to address the actual facts or lies. Aren't you even a little bit ashamed that that is your only defense? It only gets you so far. Because the topic of this podcast is so far out of the realm of issues that are of importance in the context of the Rus-Ukr war, I am unfamiliar with this one. But I'm willing to give it a listen and report back to you with an original take using critical thinking that I didn't have to defer to Google for. Understand I have to withold judgement until I verify that the claims within are ridiculous, and I'll even concede there is a probability of bullshit given my commitment to truth and honesty. So I'm already going in with a bias that suits your fancy. Can I get a little appreciation? At first glance, however, I'm suddenly reminded of claimed chemical attacks and WMD that were used as a pretext for going to war. You may have been a child then, so you might not remember. Anyway, thanks for the link. It's in the lineup.

External safety is a training issue, but sure, personal preference... Why does an external hammer matter to you? 4.5lbs (avg factory setting) is hardly a hair trigger. Agreed 100% on capacity issue. I'd want more rounds, if I wound up in a fight.

I absolutely hate 1911s for carry weapons. External safety, external hammer, hair trigger pull, low ammo for the footprint. I do like that the single stack magazine makes it thin, but there's a reason you don't see many Mil/Leo professionals using a 1911 on duty. Or 45ACP for that matter. And if you need more than 8 you're probably trying to take down a shooter at longer range. Like this dude. Amazing shot, he didn't need the extra rounds at 40 yards, but I probably would 🤣: https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/indiana-mall-shooting-elisjsha-dicken-neutralized-gunman-15-seconds/ Damn beautiful guns though.

SNCOs were always fucked by doing jobs WOs in other branches do (excluding aviation) for less pay.

Wonder when the E8/9s realize WOs displace their billets by DOMPMA...

The inability of the USAF to fix issues of "specialization" in career fields without feeling the need to create yet another rank structure is simply failed leadership.

I’m an Sig guy for sure, they just seem to fit my hand better than most. Love my P250 and P226. Heading to the gun store today to fit test a few. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Try to at least hold and dry fire a few types. Buy the one that feels most comfortable/gives you the most control - that’s the one you’ll shoot best. If you get a super compact where your pinkie isn’t even on the grip, it feels like you’re holding a gun made for kid hands, etc…that’s not the best choice for you personally. Can’t really go wrong with Glock, Sig, S&W.

We are probably going to need a separate thread for "DPRK compliant handfuns". Beale BX actually has a small gun selection with some.

I’m gonna warn you, due to its relative size the tech warrant community can be extremely clique’ish on gatekeeping upward mobility. The other bad trend we seem to have is a lot of WO positions in the MTOE exist at such a level you get bosses with rank that discount your expertise because you’re just a W2, or warrants that try to wear daddy’s rank which is no better than the out of control E8/9. I’m am glad to see the Air Force embrace the concept of specialization over ladder climbing and I do think it’s something we should get behind DOD wide. I just hope in growing this new community they can avoid the pitfalls and negative habits we created in the Army. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

First hand knowledge from a guy that was disbarred for fabricating false testimony and evidence. Here since google is a foreign concept to you, just another easy example of them out championing a Russian narrative that the west is false flagging chemical weapons attacks in Syria. Up next your defense of Andrey Stepanenko or Tucker Carlson. They simply must be given the benefit of the doubt for every broadcast. Again, nobody is telling you to get all your information from some Ukrainian blogger, but what are telling you it’s it’s absolutely ludicrous that we need to ignore the obvious connections to what we know is an active IA campaign from a demonstrated group of face men in that campaign.

We here in the US just spent $60 Billion to counter Russia, and $8 Billion for Taiwan to counter China. Today, the US is drafting sanctions against China for helping Russia. Our leadership, in their divine wisdom, is effectively forcing two world superpowers into deeper levels of cooperation. If China is going to be sanctioned for providing military assistance to Russia anyway, why would they not go ahead and open up full bore production if the US is already threatening them over the Taiwan issue? I honestly wonder who has the larger industrial production capacity, US and allies, or the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Intelligence source confidence is rated by assessing the accuracy and reliability information itself. How would you know what the information is if you refuse to look at it and discourage others from doing the same? For the third time, the only example you've given of anything that has a very high probability of being inaccurate is a random irrelevant event from 10 years ago. There's likely a vast amount of information out there from the Duran that has an even greater chance of being inaccurate, is more recent, and actually pertains to recent history. Do I have to go find it for you just to prove that you're lazy? You've spent more time googling dirt on the show hosts than listening to the Podcast. You could have just listened, shot down all their arguments, proved that it's all false Russian disinfo, and saved yourself an enormous amount of time, and we likely wouldn't be having this exchange. I actually listened to it, wrote it all down for you, and put it 6 inches in front of your face. Like a toddler, you scrunched up your face, shook your head, and still... still... elected not to confront the issues. If you believe someone should be forever discounted because you heard them say something idiotic once, you'd have been abandoned as a child. Perhaps you were. You most definitely would have been abandoned here on the forums multiple times over. But I and others are living proof that my approach works better. For pages now, I've been sifting through massive amount of your flawed logic and unsubstantiated assumptions. I can't remember where it is, but you did have a perspective I thought was useful on green energy or something recently. Even a broken clock is right twice per day. The rest of the information you present is mostly garbage, but I can still learn something about the methods and manner in which you deliver it. You operate on assumptions, I operate on first-hand knowledge. It's that simple. That's why you're stuck where you are in this debate and you keep talking in circles. If there is a debate about how to best find out the truth, a position that advocates for evaluating all information based on examining it's content is always, always, going to defeat an argument for dismissing information before it is heard because you don't like who delivered it. "There's not enough time to process all the bad information out there". That's a problem with you, not the method. Disinformation campaigns from Sweden and Finland? Uh, ok... Not sure how that's relevant to my aforementioned concerns about the USA, but I'd be happy to. I'm a voracious reader. Give me a link and I will thoroughly enjoy working through the details with you. That is, unless discussing details instead of broad generalizations and assumptions frightens you.

Wish I had the opportunity to do this when I was on AD instead of being told by an E-8 all you do is deploy and do your job. Surprised not to see degree requirements in this. Has big blue finally seen the light, that Senior NCO's have become mostly a class of perfumed princes. It will be a great opportunity for SSgts and TSgts who will never make MSgt due to circumstances that they will never have a good enough board score.

Quite the still here from a drone. Narrow miss.

This is peak government. Literally this “money” only exists on paper, but sure feed it the swamp so they can spend more of our dollars. And anyone who think this will only ever apply to the RICH has more faith in our elected officials than I do. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app

Word on the street is the commandant of SOS has outlawed pen tab patches, name tags with call signs and last name on them, and not zipping leg pockets (where one would place their cover) when outside. Dudes have already received paperwork for "offenses" and are buying extra covers for their pockets when walking outside. DAFUQ indeed.

THIS!

always love the "i know top secret information" guy there's always one.

3” stainless 1911. if you need more than 8, you’ve got bigger problems
