Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

Nothing too exciting. I got 5 new mags and 200 rounds of self defense ammo to stuff them with. No I don’t have 20 round mags, but I over bought ammo. I went to PA to get my permit renewed and bought ammo while there. Not a penny to NYS. Even bought lunch and drinks in PA.

Should be interesting. Never had a ported 380 before.

Decided to stop putting it off and begin my journey down the Optics defensive handgun road. Going to trick this out with a Trijicon RMR HD and Streamlight TLR7XUSB.

Walther PDP Compact 4 LE Model. The LE model comes with 3 mags and night sights.

The bunny was not included.

That should be a soft shooter for sure.

Well, I stole a car!
My 87 year old dad finally "decided" to not drive anymore. Hes almost blind in one eye, and cant see much out of the other.
In 2021 at 82 years old, he decided to buy a brand new car. Im completely shocked he managed to put 32,000 miles on it over these 5 years. So now im the proud owner of a 2021 Subaru Forester!
It is what it is. Its got all the bells and whistles, way more than it needs. It yells at me constantly...."keep your eyes on the road", " stay in your lane", but the most creepy thing it does is when you shut the car off, it says "check in the back seat".
What the hell kinda slasher movie crap is that??
Anyways, ill drive the wheels off this free car because....its free....and much cheaper to run than my freaking 2500HD Silverado!

You'll probably turn all your guns into the police and take up some hobby that includes a rooftop rack on your new Subaru.

Did some work to my Springfield armory garrison commander today. Added thin rosewood grips, ambi safety, black speed trigger and then lightly stoned the sear and adjusted the sear spring.

I love the check the backseat warning in my wife's Crosstrek. Every time the message comes up, I yell for her to check... Scares the shit out of her.

Heres the thing about that.
Up in Northern Vermont where we have family, there a thousands of Subarus and Volvos. These people all wear Lands End cloths, they all love kayaking and cross country skiing, they meet at Starbucks 3x a day, 50% of the women are named Karen, and they all have a cabin within 20 miles of their homes.
But, they also all own guns. Many of them own several guns.
Vermont residents own more guns than Texans per capita! They also have a higher gun ownership than South Carolina, Georgia, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida....and many more.
However, Vermont has a democrat super majority in their legislature and have voted Democrat in presidential elections for decades. Although I believe they have had a RINO Republican governor for over a decade.
What are these people thinking? Are they the dumbest voters in the US? Thats a serious question. About 50% of their population own guns, but they consistently vote Democrat. I believe they think its still 1982!

But are you going to switch genders and put a sticker on it that says lesbaru? Yes, I have seen this bumper sticker a few times recently.

But I thought if more gun owners voted we’d have a republican majority in NYS. None of this surprises me. That area up there is an odd little area.

And yet historically they have had the least restrictions on guns and conceal carry. Even today they are far less restrictive for the most part compared to other heavily Democrat states. Makes no sense.

Vermont is the only state which has never required a permit to carry a handgun. They have been constitutional carry sinse the 1791!!!
And Bernie Sanders used to have sn A+ from the NRA.
I think the issue is that many Vermonters are FUDDS.

Seriously, they are Blue Dog Democrats. They are fiscally conservative, love big government and big military, but are socially moderate.
They are overwhelmingly pro LGB.....(I refuse to add the T ), and lean to the left on most other leftist social things, except medical and welfare, which the surprisingly tend to lean right.
They really are a strange breed. They hope 1990s politics return some day.
Bernie Sanders used to be further right than some on this site for god sakes!!

Many gun owners are lefties. In fact the alphabet soup you mention is arming themselves at a high rate these days from what I hear.

 

[Bustedknees]

My 3rd grandkid gun of the year. My sons wife came with a potty trained 7 year old and I didn't feel good about not including him. I went to the used market on Gbroker and found this nice 1980's Marlin 15YN youth rifle. Finally got around to cleaning it up and greased up the horrible factory trigger.

Yep.
Unfortunately im forced to have mixed feelings about this. All the gun owners are praising the alphabets and other leftists for arming up.
Of course I am all for every American to own guns, many guns!
But, from what im seeing....we are not the same. While we buy guns for plinking, home defense, self defense from violent felons, hunting, and sport, the left seems to be arming up to kill US.
This isnt hyperbole, there is proof everywhere. Go on to one of the leftist forums, im seriously shocked these people are posting what they are posting and not being arrested.
Point blank saying they are arming up for the inevitable war between them and MAGA and the far right. Many of these people are highly emotional, and honestly do believe Trump is trying to stay president to destroy the USA.
There are exceptions, there are alphabet gun clubs whos main goal is to protect themselves from people who wish them REAL harm due to their "preferences".
Which im all for.
But the "arm up for the MAGA war" people could become an issue....in my opinion.

I'll be delivering a COEXIST bumper sticker to you in a day or two.

Maybe we could apply for some of that sweet sweet SPLC funding? Just sayin....

Why the frowny face @Criticalt ? Is there already a COEXIST sticker on it, or is there no room for one ?

You realize of course, that you have to start wearing Birkenstocks now, right ?

No stickers, just a Buffalo Bill's license plate holder on both ends!
The face was because you're right, im gonna need a COEXIST sticker....maybe on the muffler, or under the hood.
I have 7 pairs of Crocs, I refuse to go lower than that!
You may ask "why 7 pairs of Crocs?".
Because my wife loves them, and she only buys them when they are BOGO, so I end up with the free pair. And they are very comfortable.
I may just go against everything in my soul and buy a few bumper stickers. Maybe a few Trump stickers, NRA, Glock, Henry Rifles....

My boy witnessed a pretty bad bum fight while at work so I bought him this as a defensive strategy in case he needs it. I told him the butt cap can be used to strike the head or face of someone if needed.
Holy crap this thing is bright!!
I love the settings switch because it remembers what setting you want it and the strobe function is amazing. Over three hours on turbo. It’s a bit bigger than he would like it, but it’s not a bad size for its intended use. I brightens up even the brightest sunny day.

Smooove Like Buttahhhh!!!

My buddy gave me his upper to make some changes. Originally it was only supposed to be just a muzzle device and suppressor adapter swap. But I made sure to do right by him and took the extra time and not skimp on checking everything. I ended up completely disassembling it and rebuilding it. While it was apart I changed out the factory gas tube for a BRT Eztune gas tube and optimized it for suppressor use. I also noticed the feed ramps could use a little bit of work to where I would be happy with them and while I was at it I made sure this thing has some two-stage feed ramps on top of smoothing them out.

The barrel extension is no longer slightly clocked, no longer has any feed ramp overhang, or any sharp edges for the rounds to scrape on while chambering and feeding. I’m stoked as is my buddy to get this thing back and run it and see what he thinks.

picked up a smith and Wesson shield X today. Feels just like a bigger version of the bodyguard 2.0. Put 200 rounds thru it at the range. Very soft shooting. Felt softer than the hellcat pro comp. Recoil felt like shooting a G19. Very impressed with it.
