    Black Rhino Holsters. Most comfortable holsters I've ever used. Was happy to see they had a holster for my Walther PPK/S.

    Just shot a PPQ Q5. That has got to be one of the most pleasant, accurate, and fun guns I have ever shot. The wife liked it to. So maybe I can talk her into it....

    I have a PPQ 9mm....best trigger on a handgun right out of the box.
    My daily carry, Walther CCP 9mm, which after test shooting a friends at the range. Slightly reduced kick via the new Walther SOFTCOIL™ gas-delayed blowback technology. Easier to cock....good for women because of that.

    I own a CCP as well. What drew me to it were the ergonomics. I love the way it feels in the hand. The PPQ was much the same and to a lesser extent the PPS as well. I am cross shopping the PPS and the Ruger EC9 as a summer carry gun as the CCP can still be a bit big for my taste. My wife loves it though for how easy it is for her to manipulate.

    The ergonomics of the PPQ is what made me get it over any other other at time.
    So when the CCP came out it was like the perfect fit for a daily carry. Smaller and the same ‘grip’.
    I also have the Ruger EC9.....nice little gun but really don’t like the way it shoots...it’s a little uncomfortable fir me after just a few rounds.
    I did put a Hogue rubber grip on it that helped some.

    Was listening to Joe Rogan's podcast with Tim Kennedy and he mentioned that special ops rectuiting is at the worst it ever has been because of how obese and lazy high schoolers have become. This is actually a serious issue for them because they need soldiers. Well, we need soldiers.

    Sad, get off your asses Americans.

    Wow. Way to scapegoat an entire generation there pops. I haven't heard anything about high school athletics suffering from a lack of student interest. The best athletes get scholarships and many others pursue careers via college athletics and minor leagues over military service. Many of those who do choose to enter the military go through OCS as career military. This reduces the pool to mostly low-income people, who have lived impoverished, often lives devoid of hope. They have often not had access to The American Dream and have never known what Freedom feels like. Add to this, it's hard to sell children (yes, ages 18-25 are physiologically still adolescents) on getting paid a sub-par wage to kill people they have no qualms with and suffer from PTSD for the rest of their lives in the name of a freedom they've never known. I've known these kids since childhood. I've worked with these kids as an adult. I've taught and mentored these kids. I've seen the light in their eyes when they enlist. I've seen the change when they return and the often life-ending impact its had on their lives.

    I've lost too many friends from the trailer parks and housing projects of my youth who went into the military because they thought it was their only option to get out of the multi-generational poverty they were stuck in. They grow up with a boot on their throat. Sign up for service. Get conditioning and good meals. They get fit, get a uniform, get a signing bonus (if they're under 25- brain not yet fully developed), get a fast car, have meals purchased for them when seen in uniform, feel they have a role in society, get shipped off, get their brains rattled, return, get discharged, get their access to firearms revoked, can't keep jobs, can't get treatment, feel that boot back on their throat, turn to alcoholism, drugs, and eventually end it too soon.

    Sorry- the kids are alright. It's some adults losing their marbles because they're so detached from their communities and they can't filter their media intake with any level of maturity.

    Zorn skinny rig. They're local to me and make some of the cleanest kydex holsters I've seen.

    Do we really have to no wait three days for our background checks again? Isn't that what the Nixfix was that passed?
