    Pretty sure he also said just the sound of racking a shotgun would scare away the bad guys.

    I’m a safety nut so I’d be parinoid about having a loaded gun while I’m wheeling lol

    It's got a safety built in for that. Also why I buy Glocks. After seeing them thrown off 30ft roof with snap caps and not going off I'm good.

    I agree but it’s almost just as easy for me to slide clip in Right next to gun as it would be to take safety off. Not says mg what you do is bad just saying I feel more comfortable doing like that

    Go take a force on force training with shooting from a car. You'll quickly learn that popping that magazine in and racking the slide takes entirely too long. At least put the mag in. Yours has a safety? Shoot that's what the striker block is for and what I was referencing. Only sigs fire when dropped :rofl:

    1 sec in a heart stopping adrenaline pumping scenario. Practice like that helps with muscle memory. Real world scenario force on force training where you run get your heart rate up have someone yelling at you stressing the situation shows the weaknesses. I changed a lot of way I do things from that. Including where I carry and what I carry when. Go watch the YouTube videos MMA vs kung-fu, MMA vs Karate, etc. The MMA fighters 9 out of 10 times whoop the other guys but. 1 reason most martial arts training you go punch the air do real slow speed intentional moves. MMA fighters train to take hits and actually fight and have that next level. Another example it's like a tanker driver in the army toting his M16 around vs a seal. Yeah that tanker driver may be able to shoot and fend off an attack for a little bit of time but the seals take the fight to the enemy trained in those scenarios to a higher degree.

    I mean at the end of the day I feel better with how I have it. Especially if my future wife is sitting there. Dog jusmps in front knows it down etc. just my preference. Again not saying how you prefer to do things is worse than how I do just my preference.

    What did she say?

    I asked in the beginning of October. I made her hike up a mountain, and then I asked. At least I brought champagne, so we could "celebrate/drink" on the way down. Yours looks way shinier than mine though..

    You'll have to get with Harry on it. It double sheers the rack bolts and adds a secondary "slide rack" that bolts to the stock rack essentially doubling the dia. of the rack so it'll help against bending and deflection to cause leaks and damage. He also has a pump and quickener set up to allow the steering feel to be lighter and it will allow the truck to go lock to lock in a shorter amount of time. It's a little sensitive for DD street and takes some getting use to.
