2024.06.02 18:45 Salty_Taste9826 Paint aluminum siding with insulation plugs?
Hi all,
Looking to do a LOT of work on my new 1910 American Foursquare. Would love to transform the entire exterior but limited budget for now. The interior is a priority. Maybe paint now and get to it later if I decide I definitely love the neighborhood?? How much of a price differential do you think it might be (percentage wise) painting the existing aluminum siding vs replacing? There are insulation plugs throughout the siding. You think replacing is worth it regardless due to these plugs? Lastly, the foundation and porch (columns and railings) are all split rock. Soooo ugly and painted white. Ick. Another reason was thinking paint is because I will wait to replace siding until I can transform it all. Thanks!

After bidding goodbye to Woodhouse and exiting my subconscious, I entered my Inner Sanctum and noticed that the grandfather clock had just a couple of minutes remaining until midnight. As I was debating if I should exit the Dreamland or not, the clock struck midnight. The computer dinged a little melody and began installing the updates while I amused myself by watching Happy Memories on my inner television. My 7th birthday was especially happy, with the entire family gathering to celebrate.
The lights in the sanctum flickered, drawing my attention to the computer.

I woke to the smell of Delilah cooking over the campfire and peered at the screen blocking my vision making note of the changes and resolving to dig into them further when time permitted. For now, most things seemed to be instinctive instead of needing a mental trigger to function.
That’s a good thing, because I’m horrible at stuff like that.
Dismissing the screen, I rolled over and inhaled deeply. It smells like breakfast will be wolf-skewers and coffee, once I get up and make the coffee. Crawling out of my tarps, I grunted a good morning to the Elf and set about making a pot of coffee.
“You drink coffee?” I asked, wondering how much to make.
Delilah shook her head. “Too bitter,” she replied.
After setting the tin coffeepot next to the campfire to boil, I began packing my things away, stowing them in the inventory space contained in my saddlebags. My Auric sight spotted a silvery thread leading from Delilah into the trees where I spotted Beatale after a few moments of searching. His golden eyes met mine and blinked slowly before returning his attention to scanning the area.
Ten minutes later I was sipping a cup of hot Joe and my morning grogginess had mostly passed.
[Ding! Mana-infused meal consumed. Credits +5]
Nice. Looks like I earn experience just by eating the things that try to eat me.
“How did you become a Summoner?” I asked Delilah when I was half finished my coffee.
“My tribe sacrificed mana cores to Llewellen, goddess of the Tengaoi,” She said, looking puzzled. “Much like Humans sacrifice to their gods, pay gold to those who build the wizard towers, or improve themselves with meditation.”
I sipped my coffee and thought about that. Seems it’s not unusual for someone to spend money to buy Apps and Utilities.
“What about upgrading?” I said, being vague on purpose. She obviously got my meaning, because she answered without hesitation.
“Using your Skills and Abilities increases their limits and accumulates Toh, which can be sacrificed to the Goddess for advancements.”
“What about mana cores?”
“That is only for those without Toh,” she replied. It seemed that you had to buy your way into the club, then you paid for the membership with credits.
Looks like anyone wealthy enough can game the system to start with, but they still have to level up the hard way.
As we talked it became apparent that people earned one experience per day from the day they were born and could sacrifice it at a temple to choose a class when they came of age at 15 years. Calculator told me that 5850 credits were available to spend at age 15 and a quick check of the maths showed that I received credits equal to my age, if the years were 390 days long. Which they were.
“I’ll be heading to Wendleton,” I said, changing the subject. “What are your plans?”
“I am returning to my tribe now that my quest is complete,” She hesitated then stood and removed a leather necklace that featured a large tooth as its centrepiece. “Please accept this. It will guarantee hospitality with the Tangaoi tribes, and some measure of respect with other Elves.”
Accepting the necklace from her hands, I placed it around my neck. “Thank you,” I said. “It’s always nice to have friends.”
She nodded and summoned her mount with a bone totem, saddled it, and mounted a few minutes later. “Safe travels, Vinnie.” She said. “Perhaps we will meet again.”
“Safe travels Delilah,” I echoed. “I hope we do meet again.”
A faint smile crossed her lips before turning her horse and cantering down the trail.
“Well, Horse,” I said after she had disappeared into the distance. “Looks like it’s just you and me now.”
Horsey thoughts filled my head, with distinct overtones of fresh oats. Laughing, I promised him some once we made town. Extinguishing the campfire, I stowed away the remainder of my gear, swung into the saddle, and trotted down the overgrown road.
An hour later the arid scrubland had given way to a rugged grassland filled with clumps of evergreen and other hardy species of deciduous trees. It was nothing like the Colorado I knew, a completely different environment than I was familiar with. The miles passed slowly and after another hour I could make out a caravan of wagons ahead of me. I quickly caught up with them and gave them a jaunty wave as I passed. They were quickly left behind as Horse trotted tirelessly down the road.
Mostly tirelessly. It was 10/hour of battery for standby or a walk, 15/hr for a trot, and 25/hr for a gallop. I wasn’t about to ruin my arse galloping to town, so I settled for cutting the time in half. I’d arrive around noon.
The closer I got to Wendleton, the denser the trees became, shifting from hardy evergreen to those more suitable to a temperate clime. The grass and underbrush also became thicker and greener, filled with vitality and suggesting that this area received more rain than the previous. Looking back, I could see that my altitude had been dropping as I rode. It wasn’t perceptible while I was riding, but from a distance I could tell that I had descended several hundred feet in elevation.
I pulled up [MAP] and began to construct a backstory for myself. Memorising a few cities between the city-state of Wendleton and the Colonial port city of New Frankfort, I wove a tale of a restless traveller from Colonia seeking his fortune in the Midlands. It was flimsy as discount toilet tissue, but hopefully it’d endure a few proper wipes until I got some sort of identification.
After covering miles of dusty road filled with deciduous trees, I began seeing verdant farmland and quaint hamlets close to the road, and reached Wendleton around noon.
The imposing walls encompassing the city greeted us from afar, their sheer magnitude commanding attention even at a distance. Wondering why they were built got me thinking; those walls weren’t just for show. They stood about fifty feet tall and were some thirty feet thick, solid enough to make you wonder what they were really keeping out. And they weren't just bare walls; they were decked out with towers and old-school battlements, giving off serious medieval vibes.
Yet, what truly captured my attention were the scars that marred the surface of those walls. These scars, bearing witness to bygone conflicts, whispered tales of valour and triumph. Each mark seemed to echo the city's rich history, as if its very narrative had been etched into the stone. The sight was nothing short of mesmerising, offering a glimpse into the storied past of Wendleton.
Traffic was flowing in and out of the gate without any obvious security or tax checks in place. Two guards dressed in chainmail armour stood by the gate, with a short sword at their waist and a shotgun slung over their shoulder. They eyeballed me as I slowed Horse to a canter and stopped in front of them. “I’m looking for a quiet place to stay a few days,” I said.
They looked at one another. “The Green Pig,” one said. “Tell them Martin sent you and you may get a discount.”
“Or they may charge you double,” the other guard laughed, slapping his comrade on the shoulder. “But yeah, you should be alright.”
“I’ve taken the scenic route from New Frankfort to get here,” I said, planting the seeds of my new background. “Do I need to register anywhere?”
“Not unless you want citizenship,” Martin said, scratching under his leather cap and examining his fingernails. “You can talk to someone at the Governor’s office about that.”
After getting directions to both places, I thanked the duo and made my way to the suggested inn.
The city inside the walls was a strange mixture of Spanish and European medieval, the buildings built mostly from brick and wood, with lots of wrought iron and balconies. The cobblestone streets rang under the hooves of wagons carrying goods from one place to another while pedestrians crowded the wide sidewalks. Horse navigated the streets and dodged the occasional street sweeper removing dung and other debris from the cobblestones.
Hats were everywhere, as were big bushy beards and thick moustaches. Women wore dresses that hung to just above their ankle while most of the men were dressed similar to myself with linen pants and shirts, with vests and jackets being worn more often than not. All in all, my impression was more of an old western city than some medieval European city.
The scream of a whistle startled me and I quickly located the source of the sound, a genuine steam locomotive pulling out of the local station. As Horse moved down the road under his own guidance I watched the train pull away, hauling passengers and freight to some distant destination.
A few streets later we were in front of a cozy looking tavern with a freshly painted sign bearing the trademark of the inn — a prancing Green Pig.
A few horses were tied to the hitching post outside so I did the same for Horse, wrapping his reins loosely around the rough wood while he dipped his nose into the water trough and drank deeply.
“Don’t wander off,” I said, patting his flank as I headed towards familiar saloon doors that were a staple of every western movie ever made. Pausing, I waited for someone to be tossed through them, then entered with only a slight disappointment that no one had been hurled into the streets. The interior was an eclectic mix of Old West and Medieval, wooden walls decorated with the skulls of strange animals, booths that lined the walls and smaller tables set in front of a large fireplace that featured an oversized mantle. A wide bar took up the rear of the room and the wall behind it was covered in shelves of liquor, with a large mirror featured prominently in the centre. Narrow stairs next to the bar led up to a balcony above where I could see several more tables and a hallway that led into the recesses of the building.
Everyone looked my way as I stood in the door before rejoining conversation with their companions or turning their attention back to the food in front of them. The smell of some meaty stew filled my nostrils, causing my stomach to growl and remind me it had been many hours since my last meal.
Making my way across the hardwood floor to the bar, I plastered a smile on my face and spoke to the skinny bartender pouring a pint from the taps. His hair was greying, as was his moustache, but only a few crowsfeet gathered around his eyes when he returned my smile. “Martin said this would be a good place to stay a few days while I’m in town,” I said.
Light from the door flashed across his glasses as he looked me over. “That it would,” He replied. “Clean bed, two meals, two bits. Or three silver a fortnight.”
I pulled three silver from my inventory and placed them on the smooth surface of the bar, their sudden appearance causing his eyebrow to arch.
“A fortnight then,” He nodded, pushing the pint at me before drawing another. “Something to cut the dust, mister…”
“Vinnie,” I said after draining half the pint. “Vinnie Carter.”
“Lucas Steele,” the barman nodded. “Don’t mess with the girls, breakfast at dawn, dinner at dusk, lunch is two brass. Brass for a beer or whiskey.”
I materialised four brass coins and pushed them across the bar. “Lunch and another pint.”
“Give me a minute and I’ll get everything sorted,” He said with a smile, scooping the coins up.
Nodding, I turned my attention to the patrons in the inn, watching them eat lunch and converse with their companions. Some appeared to be haggling over business matters and I pegged them as merchants or some other related class. My eye caught a man standing near the door, staring at posters on the wall. Wanted posters. Finishing off my pint, I walked over and had a look at them myself.
The man was dressed similar to myself, with a light jacket instead of a vest. Red embroidery accented his black jacket, thorns crawling up the lapels and circling around the collar. He was older than me, maybe in his 40s, face tanned from a lifetime spent in the sun and weather.
“Vinnie,” I said, touching my hat. “Anything good?”
He looked me over and turned his attention back to the posters. “Silas,” He responded. “I’m thinking about going after Blackheart Bill.”
I looked at the wanted poster in question, offering 280 silver for Bill and 20 silver for each of his gang, dead or alive.
“I’m new to the profession myself,” I said. “Any pointers you’d care to share?”
Silas looked at me and smiled. “Shoot first,” he said. “Everything will sort itself after that.”
I laughed, a cheerless sound as I was reminded that I had chosen the profession of psychotics for some reason. Did I really have it in me to be a Bounty Hunter? Was it too late to pick Cowboy? I stared at the posters on the wall, imagining my new life, hunting men and killing them.
For some reason, the thought didn’t bother me much. Maybe it was the difference between imagining it and the reality of a dead body in front of me?
“How green are you?” Silas asked.
“Green as grass,” I admitted.
Silas snorted. “Can you handle that hogleg?” He said, indicating the Mongoose at my hip.
“Still learning,” I said. No sense in talking myself up when I had no clue as to what was average around here. “Any suggestions for my first bounty?”
Silas looked me over with an appraising eye. “Ride with me and we’ll collect Blackheart Bill.”

Timestamp: https://imgur.com/IfDh5DC
Optic serial: https://imgur.com/f3gqMQX
Happy Sunday y'all. Cleaning out a few things.
Del-ton 16” Upper w/ Midwest Industries 12” Quad Rail - $275
https://imgur.com/a/6M8pUum
This was my first AR upper- I swapped out the FSB for a YHM gas block, and put a MI 12" Quad rail on it. Del-ton upper, CH, and BCG. Not sure barrel make. It’s pretty salty, lotsa larping, 3 gun runs, maybe 750-1000 rounds on this. A2 Birdcage is hand tightened right now, will need to retorqued/threadlocked. The rail covers are included- the long 4 are P&S, the short 4 are KAC, unless someone wants to part them out first. Also comes with the MI wrench tool for the barrel nut. In my infinite wisdom, I did file a couple of the pic rail segments flat so the rail covers would grip. You’ll see in the last pic.
Sig Romeo5 Red Dot with all mounts, missing covers $80
https://imgur.com/a/wJeWAe8
I'm dumb and somehow lost the covers for the elevation and windage knobs. You can 3d print these or get a set on amazon or try Sig customer service. Both mounts, bikini cover, 2 screws and hex tool. Good condition, only mounted, never fired.
Shellback Tactical Rampage 2.0 Black Plate Carrier w/Placard, Krydex QD Tubes & Condor Triple AR Mag Pouch - $100
https://imgur.com/a/yrFG9Dv
I unstitched the velcro flaps that hold the cummerbund on and restitched them closed, and added a set of Krydex quick release tubes. Some light wear, I’ve ran around in this, but otherwise solid.
Shellback Tactical Side Body Armor Plate MOLLE Pouches - $15
https://imgur.com/7V1wR17
Idogear Dangler Pouch - $10
https://imgur.com/pSgaKZL
Bundle all the above nylon and I'll make you a bundle deal.
MagPul MBUS Gen 2 Set $45
https://imgur.com/ChQH0YC
I'm pretty sure these are Gen 2, school me if I'm wrong. Light salt, works great.
Amazon Special ChiCom Respirators - $15 each, $25 for both
https://imgur.com/Lx5Gzfz
Uses the common 3M filters you can get at hardware stores, used once each, still have the protective film on.
Empty Glock Case $20

From a G23 Gen4, but stickers are gone, egg carton foam interior still there.

2024.06.02 04:55 GhoulGriin Best 1911 Paddle Holster
 | submitted by GhoulGriin to u/GhoulGriin [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/71ckn0a3p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb9bfee77639bbdf24b761546920ea331cbb31d6 Dive into the world of 1911 Paddle Holsters as we unveil the top options available in the market. From sleek designs to secure fits, these holsters offer the perfect blend of style and functionality for your daily carry. Hold onto your chairs as we introduce you to the ultimate 1911 Paddle Holster lineup. The Top 12 Best 1911 Paddle Holster
Reviews🔗Carry Comfortably with Versacarry's Quality 1911 Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/eptg6l84p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=773e99f56be986ccff33f2a7d4a8754ea9b49595 Last week, I had an interesting experience with the Versacarry Compound holster. I was at the range, trying to practice with my 1911, when I realized my holster wasn't the greatest for my needs. So, I swapped it for this one, and let me tell you - it's been a game changer. First off, the material is premium water buffalo leather. It's softer than most plastic holsters but holds up better against wear and tear. Plus, it has a raised protective backing and metal inlay for extra rigidity. It's like having a little bodyguard for your gun. I also appreciate the fit. This right-handed holster fits my 1911 perfectly, and it's comfortable to wear. It hugs my waist just right, without digging into my side. Now, practicing at the range is a breeze, as I can focus on my aim, instead of fidgeting with my holster. The stitching is industrial-grade bonded nylon thread, so you know it's made to last. But don't just take my word for it - Versacarry even made sure it's made in the USA. However, there are a few things I'd like to point out. The holster is only compatible with certain handguns, and I had to return my first one because it didn't fit my pistol correctly. Also, if you're using it for open carry, it might be a bit too conspicuous for my liking. Lastly, there were a couple of minor issues with the holster's design, but it didn't affect the overall experience. In conclusion, the Versacarry Compound holster has become my daily sidekick at the range. Its quality, comfort, and ease of use make it a versatile and reliable partner for my 1911. And with a rating of 3.9, it seems other users have also had similar experiences. 🔗Bravo Concealment Torsion 1911 IWB Holster with Adjustable Retentionhttps://preview.redd.it/wsv8xkh4p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d6dbc9596aaaafbf834176b7d335c98d413cbcb I recently became a fan of the Bravo Concealment Adaptive IWB concealed carry holster for my trusty 1911. This holster has been a game-changer in my daily carry routine, thanks to its adjustable retention, which feels secure yet accessible at the same time. The polymer injection mold is absolutely impressive—it ensures a perfect fit for my 1911 without adding any unnecessary bulk. The torsion technology also helps conceal the gun by twisting it slightly inward, making it effortlessly blend with my wardrobe. One of my favorite features of this holster is the comfortable fit; it feels like a second skin without any discomfort or irritation. Plus, the holster retains its shape for smooth one-handed re-holstering. The tuckable clip is another added convenience, allowing me to effortlessly tuck it under my clothing when needed. However, there's one aspect I wish could've been improved—the audible clicking sound when re-holstering. It's a bit too loud for my liking, especially if I'm in quieter surroundings. Overall, I'm satisfied with the performance of the Bravo Concealment IWB holster for my 1911. It's a reliable and comfortable option for everyday concealed carry. 🔗Kydex Paddle Holster for 1911 Officer Model: Lightweight, Durable, and Adjustablehttps://preview.redd.it/uktnnav4p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75c6dcfee52d8c9802556434792facc6aed18aa3 I've been using this Rounded OWB Kydex Paddle Holster for my trusty 1911 3.5in Officer Non-Rail for a few weeks now, and I must say, it's been a game-changer for my daily carry. The Adjustable Cant feature allows me to customize the holster to my preference, while the Posi-Click Retention ensures my firearm stays securely in place. The paddle design is not only comfortable but also practical, as it makes taking my holster on and off effortless. However, a slight downside is that the paddle may not be the best choice for those who prefer a more discreet carry, as it can't be easily hidden under a shirt. One of the most impressive features is the undercut trigger guard, which makes drawing the firearm a breeze without any snagging. The holster's over-cut open-face is a great plus, as it accommodates threaded barrels, which can be a pain to fit in some holsters. But the best part? This holster is designed to fit suppressor height sights, which is a must-have for those who use suppressors on their 1911s. The full-length sweat guard with a rear sight shield adds a layer of protection against sweat and moisture, keeping my holster dry and comfortable to wear. The holster comes with a fiber-reinforced stealth belt clip, which keeps my holster hidden from the naked eye, making it a perfect choice for everyday carry. Additionally, all the hardware is made of black oxide steel and comes with threadlocks, ensuring durability and preventing loosening over time. In conclusion, this Rounded OWB Kydex Paddle Holster for my 1911 3.5in Officer Non-Rail has proven to be a reliable and comfortable choice for my daily carry needs. With its numerous features and customizable options, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-crafted, high-quality holster. 🔗Springfield 1911 Right Hand Paddle Holster - Blackhttps://preview.redd.it/44ixs4t5p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fe742345439d4121100e8303b7a13023c7aa989 I was pretty excited to get my hands on the Springfield Paddle Holster. As a gun enthusiast, I've always been on the lookout for reliable holsters that cater to the needs of my trusty 1911 handgun. The moment I slipped this one onto my belt, I knew I hit the jackpot. It's crafted to perfection, fitting snugly and securely on my right side. I really appreciated the paddle design, which kept the holster in place even during my most active days. One of the features that stood out for me was the adjustable retention system. It allowed me to have a quick draw while still ensuring a secure grip on my handgun. This was particularly useful when I was on the move or needed to react quickly. The sleek black finish perfectly complemented the overall look of the holster. However, there was one small issue I faced. The holster sat a bit higher than my expectations, making it slightly inconvenient to conceal the handgun if I needed to. Despite this hiccup, I would still recommend this holster to anyone looking for a reliable Paddle Holster for their 1911. It's comfortable, secure, and a great value for its price. 🔗Premium ALS 1911 Paddle Holster with Open-Top Designhttps://preview.redd.it/qbkm7496p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=245e43506de7418500a94f877b1cd9690467d677 The Safariland 7378 ALS Paddle Holster is my go-to for carrying my 1911 Commander. The open-top design allows for quick and easy access to my weapon, while the Automatic Locking System ensures that my firearm stays securely holstered. Made from SafariSeven, a non-abrasive nylon blend, this holster has an impressive temperature tolerance and does not scratch my firearm's finish. One thing I love about this holster is how easy it is to adjust the cant for optimal comfort. Additionally, the injection-molded belt loop provides extra security, although I did notice that it can be a bit bulky when worn with a thicker belt. As for the draw, it's a breeze thanks to the ALS release system, which allows me to quickly and easily retrieve my firearm without any hassle. However, the straight up draw may not be ideal for some users, and I wish there was a more discreet option. Overall, the Safariland 7378 Paddle Holster has been a reliable and effective choice for my 1911 Commander. While it's not perfect, the pros definitely outweigh the cons for me, making it a solid choice for any firearm enthusiast. 🔗Adjustable 1911 Paddle Holster for Everyday Carryhttps://preview.redd.it/apu2i7k6p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e78a6cd6d5941293db23b2cfa1fd99eb2c6bc616 Looking for a reliable, durable, and comfortable OWB Kydex Paddle holster for your 1911? Look no further than this top-of-the-line option. As someone who's tried it out in my daily life, let me share my experience with you. From the moment I put it on, I appreciated the lightweight yet strong build of the holster. Its precise fit and secure retention made me confident that my 1911 was safely tucked away while I went about my day. The undercut trigger guard also made for an easy, smooth draw. One of the standout features was the adjustable cant angle, which allowed me to customize my carry position to my comfort. The paddle holster was easy to adjust, and the paddle's design made it comfortable for long-term wear. However, there were a couple of areas where the holster could use some improvement. The paddle itself could benefit from a more ergonomic design, as I found it to be slightly uncomfortable over extended periods. The holster also didn't accommodate sights with suppressor height, which might be a drawback for some users. Overall, this 1911 Paddle Holster provides an excellent balance of security, comfort, and convenience. With its top-notch craftsmanship, the perfect fit, and a satisfying click when holstered, I confidently recommend this holster to fellow 1911 owners. Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed! 🔗Premium 1911 Paddle Holster for Quick Release and Lightning-Fast Drawshttps://preview.redd.it/ti2b8bo7p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8bb80a0a176292ec4d716603afe136d192026f88 I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Quick Release Paddle Holster when I was out at the range. The first thing that stood out to me was the impressive durability of the holster; it's made with premium Kydex material, which is a game-changer in terms of durability. Additionally, the Paddle attachment made for a comfortable fit, and I appreciated not having to fumble with straps or buckles. In terms of function, the lightning-fast draw was a highlight for me, as the slide-mounted optic compatibility and competition cut made it incredibly efficient. Overall, I was really impressed with the Quick Release Paddle Holster and its ability to streamline the gun-carrying experience. There weren't any significant downsides, but I'd recommend keeping an eye on the Kydex material to ensure it doesn't scratch your firearm. 🔗Orpaz C-Series Paddle Holster for 1911 Pistolshttps://preview.redd.it/bkl1rsx7p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9b04375224af00e441428341db8beca0a4ac3d1f I've been utilizing the C-Series 1911 Level I retention holster as my go-to option in my daily life. It provides an excellent balance of security, comfort, and quick access to my sidearm, which is a must for me as a first responder. The level of customization it allows, with fully adjustable retention and rotation using the included Allen key, has been a game-changer. While the paddle holster attachment might not be perfect for everyone's preferences, I found it to be reasonably comfortable and secure when worn during various activities. Overall, this holster has proven to be a functional addition to my gear collection. 🔗1911 Paddle Holster for Outdoor Gearhttps://preview.redd.it/ca0jrbe8p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1ae588602dd42b5b33a4180ebc518d54a5b30c88 As someone who recently started carrying their pistol regularly, I found the Black Scorpion Outdoor Gear's Paddle Holster to be a game-changer. This paddle holster, with its 1911 platform compatibility, allowed me to secure my firearm right at my hip, in a strong side hip carry position. The paddle attachment hooked to my belt, making it hassle-free and providing me peace of mind. Now, let's talk about some standout features. The holster material is Kydex, which means it's pretty durable and designed to last. Plus, it's compatible with red dots and threaded barrels, making it ideal for those who like to have precise aim and use suppressors on their firearms. However, in my experience, the fit could have been a bit more snug, which might impact the overall confidence when wearing it. But all in all, this paddle holster made carrying a firearm much more convenient for me. 🔗Paddle Holster for 1911 Style Pistolshttps://preview.redd.it/78g2eb59p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3aa9642a3708a00cd13a5874ebe285f9ebead63 Fobus 1911CHLH, a versatile paddle holster, has been a reliable accessory for my daily carry. Its hard polymer construction offers sturdy protection for my 1911-style pistol and keeps it securely in place. One highlight was the trigger guard locking mechanism, which effortlessly held my pistol while allowing me to draw quickly without disturbing my grip. Despite the ease of use and impressive build quality, the slim design did require some adjustments to accommodate various sizes more effectively. Overall, the Fobus 1911CHLH has been a consistent companion, delivering a mix of convenience and functionality without compromising on safety. 🔗Minimalist Kydex Paddle Holster for 1911 Platformhttps://preview.redd.it/56d0pbg9p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38c2b1992481e7e52b922e5ff5e01a8c3192ab30 I recently stumbled upon this slick Rounded OWB Kydex Paddle Holster that's perfect for my 1911. It's a minimalist design that securely holds your weapon while keeping you light on your feet. The adjustable cant and 'Posi-Click' retention system make it super versatile and comfortable. Each time I holster up, I can't help but smile, hearing that satisfying click. The undercut trigger guard is a game-changer, making it incredibly easy to draw. Its over-cut open-face also takes care of those threaded barrels. The holster even handles suppressor height sights with ease. A complete sweat guard with a rear sight shield keeps everything clean and protected, while the fiber-reinforced stealth belt clip keeps things discreet. No more worried looks when you pass a group of people unsuspecting of your concealed carry. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, there are all black oxide steel hardware with threadlock - these babies are built to last. Overall, the holster is a dream come true for any 1911 owners. 🔗Galco Speed Master 2.0 Paddle Holster - Perfect for 1911 Gov Left Hand Tanhttps://preview.redd.it/lr0hibs9p24d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f768761790dc0124dcf562cbbe4c02a1705fa293 As a gun enthusiast, I was intrigued by the features of the Galco Speed Master 2.0 Paddle Holster for 1911. The first time I used it, I was surprised by how quickly I could attach and detach it from my belt. The open top design and covered trigger offered me both safety and speed, which is crucial when carrying a gun. One of the standout features for me was the adjustable tension unit. It allowed me to fine-tune the grip on my 1911, ensuring a secure hold without any accidental slips. The belt slot attachment was also a game-changer, providing a stable and traditional carry method when desired. While I was generally satisfied with the holster, there were a couple of downsides. The first was the belt drop option, which seemed more suitable for shorter-waisted individuals or those wearing body armor. As a taller individual, I found it a bit more awkward to use. Additionally, the tan color of the holster showed some signs of wear over time, which could be a concern for those looking for a more durable product. Overall, the Galco Speed Master 2.0 Paddle Holster for 1911 proved to be a versatile and functional choice for my gun carrying needs. The premium steerhide construction and adjustable tension unit made it stand out among other holsters, while the ability to switch between a paddle and belt loop attachment provided the ultimate convenience. However, the belt drop option and potential wear issues are important factors to consider before making a purchase.

It's been a long time since I had any people I'd call friends. Who needs them.
People yammer about the most mundane of things. The most boring or unimportant concepts. Nearby shops, food, the annoyances of other people. As if you can talk about the inanity of a conversation with someone without the slightest recognition that you yourself are just as bad. I know I'm as bad as everyone else. I partook in those conversations whenever the necessity arose. But I find myself far more at home consuming knowledge that has actual value. Pouring over various encyclopedia's and old novels. Sure, the information in an encyclopedia from two hundred odd years ago is out of date. It was probably wrong by the objective nature of reality at the time of its writing. But it has stood the test of time far better than any conversation you can hold with the common people of this day and age.
I'm well known around Deteram Library. The staff don't bother me, they know I prefer my quiet and I always put my books back exactly where they came from. If I didn't have to eat or sleep, I'd likely never leave these walls. The librarians and cleaners have even gotten to the point where they'll simply allow me to go into any area I please. I've walked into the staff room and the janitor's closet at least once each. In my defense the rooms weren't properly marked. I apologized in each case and left but they seemed to hold no problem with my explorations.
A week ago though, I found a new door.
It was technically outside. Near to the car park, there was a small flight of concrete stairs I had not seen before, leading down to a heavy and very old looking door. It was beautiful and very well kept. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a single piece of Ebony given its look and weight. It wasn't locked either. But the hour was late and my stomach demanding, so I left. I've checked on my arrival each day since and the door hasn't been there. The staircase itself was missing every time and to be entirely honest, I had been starting to believe I had dreamed the entire discovery.
Until today.
As I left the library just after sunset, there it was. Maybe I'd been checking the wrong place? I couldn't go another week of searching fruitlessly for this damnable place. So I opened the door. The bookcases here are actually fairly modern. High quality, very well maintained. I wouldn't even say any of these books are particularly valuable, or controversial. It seems like any other part of the library, I wonder why it's so secreted away?
I found a railing, looks like some kind of balcony. Goes down several floors. I can see at least five other railings, but after that it gets too dark. Can't see the bookcases on the other floors, but now I have to know what are in them! Haven't seen any staff yet, which is good. There's been some movement, the sound of books being put on a shelf or boots scuffing the floor in the next aisle over. So there are definitely other people down here. I'm just glad they're sensible enough to keep to themselves. The books are slightly ratty and yellowed. Is this the damaged pages section? Don't worry, I'll be careful with them, I'm not some kid.
Took about an hour but I found a staircase down. Haven't found one up yet so it looks like the way I came in is the only entrance. That's really not a good idea. The bookcases are older down here. They probably haven't gotten around to updating them, the contents are still fairly recent though so that's a thing. Not entirely sure how long I've been down here at this rate, but there are so many books I can't help myself. So much knowledge that's going to waste without someone enjoying it. The weirdest part is that I don't remember actually reading any of these books. Sure, I want to read them, and I'll reach for them to check out the covers. But I put them back, none of them are the right book for right now apparently.
How many times have I walked these two aisles?
I have to say I'm starting to hate the other people perusing down here. No-one seems to be any good at putting things back where they got them. I keep finding books out of order, or on the wrong shelf or even the wrong bookcase. It's infuriating! At least they're not stealing them, but it's maddening.
I'm hearing less noise from downstairs, I could head down? Maybe its more organized down there, I can actually concentrate on reading.
Why are the bookcases here so old? The books aren't even that old, it's just gaudy looking at these new covers sitting on rotting old wooden boards. The bookcases aren't really arranged very well, it's a maze down here. I'm not very far from the staircase back up of course, I could leave if I wanted but at this point I want to know what else I can find.
Why are the bookcases here so old? The books aren't even that bad, it's like looking at fresh prints sitting on the deck of some ancient pirate ship. Why am I holding this book? I didn't take it from a shelf, did someone around here slip it into my hands? How am I supposed to put it back if I don't know where they took it from? I'm being made to look like one of those inconsiderate slobs! I'd try to figure out where it belongs but this place is such a mess, there's no pattern to any of it!
I want to leave.
I liked the floor above much better.
Where is the staircase up?
Not down, Up.
Why are the aisles so narrow, I can barely walk in them. I need the staircase up.
There's one going down.
Maybe it will lead to another one up?

It is a 2+ story drop were he to fall.
He's currently sitting on the railing staring at a bug on the ceiling that no one can reach and chittering. We're worried he's going to get too excited over a bug and leap off it hurting himself.

2024.06.01 23:23 Fizzbit 640s Exterior radiant heat?
I wanna put my new 640s on my townhome's balcony patio, which is a little on the small side. It'll have 18" of clearance from the building and plenty of overhead clearance for the balcony cover so I'm not worried about a combustion risk, but I do have a painted metal railing that it'll be placed about 6" from.
I am mostly gonna use it for smoking at low temperatures so I know radiant heat won't be as big of a concern, but does the outside get terribly hot to the touch or the surrounding area when using it as a grill?

2024.06.01 22:30 AJaffJaff How to Remove Rust and Repaint Balcony Railing?
https://imgur.com/gallery/7nDo6PC
I just moved into a new condo and the patio railing is in pretty bad shape cosmetically.
What’s the best way to remove the rust from the railing? I assume the railing is steel or iron. I tried using a steam cleaner and tried CLR but neither worked very well.
But once the rust is gone, what can I do to spruce the railing up and make it look a bit more updated or at least not so worn out? I’m guessing that I would sand it and then paint? Are there special sanders for metal? I’ve only ever sanded drywall and it didn’t really go too well! And then do I just paint it? Do they make special paints for metal?
Thanks I really appreciate any advice!

2024.06.01 22:17 karer3is What is one minor thing you would want to change in video games?
There is always talk about big things in games that need to change: An end to nickel- and- diming gamers to death, releasing games that actually work on day 1, etc.
One subject that gets talked about less, though, are all the tiny little things that don't "break" games, but are endlessly annoying because, in many cases, they were completely avoidable. In my case, it would be eliminating scenery objects that appear to be permeable (can be shot through), but are in fact just boxes overlaid with the graphic of a "permeable" object. To give an example:
If you've ever played a shooter or even an RPG that involves archery, you've probably run into one of these annoying little "surprises." Picture this: You've stocked up on ammo, finally earned enough money to get that sniper rifle/longbow/crossbow/whatever you needed to headshot the annoying group of enemies that keeps killing you from up close, and gotten enough practice in that you could shoot a gnat through the eye of a sewing needle. After doing some recon, you find a nice little perch on a balcony, tower, or hill with the perfect gap reach out and touch your targets from out of visual range.
After clearing away the enemies near it, you get in position, switch to your long- range weapon, and line up what should be the first in a series of merciless headshots. After making sure you're ready, you pull the trigger, eagerly waiting to see the first enemy drop. Except they don't. Maybe your aim was a little off, so you adjust ever so slightly, take aim, and fire again. Once again, nothing. Baffled by what's going on, you exit "scoped" mode and look to see what the problem could be and then you see it: Either floating in midair or in a one- pixel wide piece of the terrain in front of you, you see a bullet hole- or arrow- floating right in front of you.
Congratulations! You just discovered that the "broken railing" or "forked tree" you thought would be the perfect shooting position is not a semi- permeable object, but rather a lazily- built box overlayed with the graphic of a "broken railing" or "forked tree"!
What other little annoyances would you guys eliminate?

2024.06.01 17:46 OprahsButtCrack Deck Staining Cost
Tried posting in /decks, but they weren’t very kind. My life is chaos between my children and my small business, and I am considering getting my deck stained by professionals as I do not have much free time other than a few hours on the weekend. It is roughly 600 square feet and has a staircase and lots of railings. I was quoted $2,900 by a company owned by an acquaintance who painted our home interior in the past and does great work. That would include materials and pressure cleaning the deck prior to staining. Is that a good price?

It is a question specific to theater enthusiasts who have visited Kamani auditorium frequently. I saw in the pictures that the balcony has railings. I dont want to pick seats where the view of the stage is obstructed due to those railings. Please help.
Non-balcony seats are quite expensive... so cannot buy them.

1. Modern Minimalist Appeal
For those who appreciate a clean, modern aesthetic, a black throw blanket is an excellent choice. Its simplicity complements minimalist interiors perfectly. Look for throws with subtle textures, such as a knitted or woven design, to add visual interest without overwhelming the space. Pair a black throw with neutral-toned furniture and decor to maintain a sleek and uncluttered look. This approach works exceptionally well in living rooms or bedrooms that feature a monochromatic color scheme, emphasizing the blanket as both a functional and decorative piece.2. Cozy and Inviting Living Rooms
A black throw blanket can transform your living room into a cozy retreat. Opt for a soft, plush black throw to add warmth and comfort to your seating area. Whether you prefer a faux fur blanket or a thick, knitted option, the rich black hue creates a striking contrast against lighter-colored furniture. To create an inviting ambiance, layer the black throw with other pillows and blankets in various textures and complementary colors. This layering technique not only enhances the comfort level but also adds depth and dimension to your décor.3. Sophisticated Bedroom Accents
In the bedroom, a black throw blanket can serve as a chic accent piece. Drape it over the foot of the bed to create a focal point and add a touch of elegance to your bedding ensemble. For a luxurious feel, choose a throw with a velvet or satin finish. These materials catch the light beautifully, adding a subtle sheen to your décor. Pair the black throw with crisp white linens or metallic accents to create a sophisticated and balanced look. This combination is perfect for master bedrooms or guest rooms where you want to impress with understated luxury.4. Stylish Outdoor Spaces
Don't limit the use of black throw blankets to indoor spaces. They can also enhance the look of your outdoor seating areas. Imagine a cool evening spent on your patio or balcony, wrapped in a cozy black throw. Choose blankets made from durable, weather-resistant materials to ensure they withstand outdoor conditions. Black throws can complement a variety of outdoor furniture styles, from modern wicker to rustic wooden pieces. They not only provide warmth but also add a touch of elegance to your outdoor gatherings.5. Bohemian Chic Vibes
For a bohemian-inspired space, a black throw blanket can add a grounding element to the eclectic mix of colors and patterns typical of this style. Look for black throws with intricate patterns or fringe details to enhance the boho vibe. These blankets can be draped over a colorful couch or layered with other patterned throws and pillows. The contrast between the black throw and the vibrant bohemian elements creates a balanced and visually appealing look. This approach works well in living rooms, bedrooms, or even creative studio spaces.6. Textural Harmony in Neutral Spaces
Neutral color palettes are a popular choice for many homes due to their calming and versatile nature. In such settings, a black throw blanket can add a layer of depth and sophistication. Choose throws with interesting textures like cable knit, herringbone, or faux fur to introduce a tactile element to your décor. The black throw will stand out against the soft, neutral tones, creating a striking yet harmonious look. This idea is particularly effective in spaces with beige, gray, or cream color schemes, where the black throw serves as a bold accent piece.7. Statement Pieces in Artistic Interiors
For those who love to make a statement with their décor, a black throw blanket can be a key piece in artistic and avant-garde interiors. Consider throws with unique designs, such as geometric patterns, abstract prints, or embroidered details. These blankets can be draped over statement furniture pieces like an iconic armchair or a modern chaise lounge. The black color acts as a canvas that highlights the intricate designs, making the throw a work of art in itself. This approach is ideal for creative spaces, contemporary living rooms, or home offices where style and creativity are paramount.8. Timeless Elegance in Traditional Settings
Even in traditional or classic interiors, black throw blankets can play a significant role. Opt for throws made from luxurious materials like cashmere, wool, or silk. These blankets can be elegantly draped over a leather sofa, a vintage armchair, or the foot of a canopy bed. The black color adds a touch of timeless elegance, enhancing the classic charm of your décor. Pair the throw with other traditional elements like antique furniture, ornate rugs, and classic artwork to create a cohesive and refined look.In conclusion, black throw blankets are incredibly versatile and can adapt to a wide range of interior styles. Whether you're aiming for modern minimalism, cozy comfort, bohemian chic, or timeless elegance, there's a black throw blanket that can elevate your space. Explore different textures, patterns, and materials to find the perfect throw that complements your décor and reflects your personal style.

No matter if you're an experienced gun enthusiast or a first-time buyer, we've got you covered. Our carefully curated selection is designed to showcase a diverse range of options, all perfect for your 1911 firearm. Get ready to find your ideal holster and enhance your shooting experience like never before! The Top 18 Best 1911 Holsters
Reviews🔗Comfortable 1911 Inside Waistband Holster for Threaded Barrelshttps://preview.redd.it/7pi8efn5kx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=474eb0fdecb6ec685511d00a9b6e8d0a7e1d2700 C&G's Covert IWB holster quickly became a staple in my daily life. The first thing that caught my eye was the solid feel of the Kydex material. It's a bit heavier than some other holsters I've tried, but this adds to the confidence that my firearm is securely held in place. The open bottom design is a game-changer - it fits threaded barrels and compensators like a glove, and offers compatibility with most RMRed Dots on the market. I particularly appreciate the customization options available for fit and attachment, which make it a perfect match for my carry needs. The slight discomfort I've experienced while wearing the Covert IWB holster is the only downside I've noticed. After wearing it for a few hours, I feel a bit of pressure on my hip. It's not unbearable, but it is worth mentioning. Overall, the positives far outweigh the negatives, and I highly recommend this holster to anyone in the market for an IWB 1911 holster. 🔗Carry Comfortably with Versacarry's Quality 1911 Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/8euk7z86kx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=687e8a7de1de4289ed9723de97ca78137e8f2939 Last week, I had an interesting experience with the Versacarry Compound holster. I was at the range, trying to practice with my 1911, when I realized my holster wasn't the greatest for my needs. So, I swapped it for this one, and let me tell you - it's been a game changer. First off, the material is premium water buffalo leather. It's softer than most plastic holsters but holds up better against wear and tear. Plus, it has a raised protective backing and metal inlay for extra rigidity. It's like having a little bodyguard for your gun. I also appreciate the fit. This right-handed holster fits my 1911 perfectly, and it's comfortable to wear. It hugs my waist just right, without digging into my side. Now, practicing at the range is a breeze, as I can focus on my aim, instead of fidgeting with my holster. The stitching is industrial-grade bonded nylon thread, so you know it's made to last. But don't just take my word for it - Versacarry even made sure it's made in the USA. However, there are a few things I'd like to point out. The holster is only compatible with certain handguns, and I had to return my first one because it didn't fit my pistol correctly. Also, if you're using it for open carry, it might be a bit too conspicuous for my liking. Lastly, there were a couple of minor issues with the holster's design, but it didn't affect the overall experience. In conclusion, the Versacarry Compound holster has become my daily sidekick at the range. Its quality, comfort, and ease of use make it a versatile and reliable partner for my 1911. And with a rating of 3.9, it seems other users have also had similar experiences. 🔗Comfortable Chest-Mounted 1911 Holster for Maximum Supporthttps://preview.redd.it/y3itcciakx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd0a9ab8ce6ebfd30961bec3a52986fdbdffa419 I recently had the chance to try out the Crossbreed Chest Rig Holster for my 1911-Founders, and let me tell you, it's a breath of fresh air when it comes to holding on to heavier pistols. The holster's thick leather backer provides excellent support, while the soft suede lining ensures that it's always comfy against the body. What really sets this holster apart is the multiple points of retention adjustment. You can really make it work for you, thanks to the three different straps. The adjustability makes it a perfect fit, no matter how your body is built. While some might argue that the holster might be a bit too noticeable for everyday carry, I've been genuinely impressed with its performance and versatility. It's definitely worth considering when you're looking for a reliable chest rig for your firearm. 🔗Eco Leather Concealed Carry Holster for 1911 Gunshttps://preview.redd.it/3p28v7uakx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=165d5c06326ad3d85e1ce9b4c6ee36ff069c10e7 I recently had the chance to try out the IWB Gun Holster with Mag Pouch by Houston. This concealed carry holster is made with eco-leather, making it a great choice for those who value sustainability. The holster is designed with comfort in mind, fitting around your waist with ease. It also features a soft suede lining for extra protection for your gun. One of the best parts of this holster is the sturdy metal clip that ensures your gun stays secure throughout the day. I found it to be a reliable choice when I needed to be on the move. However, on hot summer days, the holster can get a bit sweaty, so it might not be the best choice for intense outdoor activities. Overall, the IWB Gun Holster with Mag Pouch by Houston is a solid choice for anyone looking for a comfortable and reliable concealed carry option. The eco-leather and soft suede lining provide excellent features for keeping your gun safe, while the metal clip ensures it remains secure throughout the day. However, be mindful of the potential for sweat build-up in hot weather. 🔗Sig Sauer 1911 ProTuck Holster - Adjustable, Lightweight IWB Concealmenthttps://preview.redd.it/bqop4mcbkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43da6bf13ae2ef010c060618e72dd78df213473a The Vedder Holsters ProTuck for a Sig Sauer 1911 without rail offers an exceptional inside the waistband (IWB) experience, providing superior concealment and comfort in one package. The hybrid holster is meticulously crafted from premium leather and form-fitted Kydex, creating a secure and personalized fit for your firearm. Its natural hugging of your body and adjustable retention make it a standout option. However, I found the weight distribution to be slightly top-heavy, which may require some adjustments. The limited number of color options could also be a drawback for those seeking a more unique look. Nonetheless, the holster's lightweight design, durability, and lifetime guarantee are all noteworthy features that make this a top contender in the market. 🔗Bravo Concealment Torsion 1911 IWB Holster with Adjustable Retentionhttps://preview.redd.it/0zlc3mvbkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=896ef85e086e6a40586144ebfb16a0182b8ff98d I recently became a fan of the Bravo Concealment Adaptive IWB concealed carry holster for my trusty 1911. This holster has been a game-changer in my daily carry routine, thanks to its adjustable retention, which feels secure yet accessible at the same time. The polymer injection mold is absolutely impressive—it ensures a perfect fit for my 1911 without adding any unnecessary bulk. The torsion technology also helps conceal the gun by twisting it slightly inward, making it effortlessly blend with my wardrobe. One of my favorite features of this holster is the comfortable fit; it feels like a second skin without any discomfort or irritation. Plus, the holster retains its shape for smooth one-handed re-holstering. The tuckable clip is another added convenience, allowing me to effortlessly tuck it under my clothing when needed. However, there's one aspect I wish could've been improved—the audible clicking sound when re-holstering. It's a bit too loud for my liking, especially if I'm in quieter surroundings. Overall, I'm satisfied with the performance of the Bravo Concealment IWB holster for my 1911. It's a reliable and comfortable option for everyday concealed carry. 🔗Premium 1911 Holster for Right Hand Configurationhttps://preview.redd.it/xcyx469ckx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=01903d8dbc870c5ac7458e0fea2578ef1b08bfbc While I was out on a shooting range, I decided to try out the Desantis Gunhide Mini Slide Belt Holster for my 1911 pistol. First off, the premium saddle leather and attention to detail were striking. The exposed muzzle design gave it a tight fit, perfect for my gun. I also loved the adjustable-tension device, allowing me to customize the holster's hold. The only issue I encountered was that the belt slots were a tad too wide for my taste. However, the black and tan unlined leather options added a nice touch. Overall, I found the holster to be a great choice for anyone looking for a well-fitted, comfortable, and stylish companion for their 1911 pistol. 🔗Vintage 1911 Holster: Expertly Crafted for Maximum Security and Comforthttps://preview.redd.it/fqj06jnckx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c7b8a8c33af557e07cbca41e0ec7fb8e83981880 I recently got my hands on the Texas 1836 Cannon Vintage Edition Open Top OWB Holster. It's a beauty to behold, with its premium full-grain leather design that simply exudes luxury. The handcrafted attention to detail is obvious, making it a perfect fit for my 1911. The double-stitching adds an extra layer of security, and the smooth interior makes for a speedy draw whenever I need it. While I absolutely love the holster's aesthetics and comfort, I've noticed that it might not be the most versatile option. It's specifically designed for full-size 1911s with no attachments, which means those looking for a more universal option might want to look elsewhere. Nevertheless, for someone looking for a sleek and sturdy holster that's an extension of their style, the Texas 1836 Cannon Vintage Edition is definitely worth considering. 🔗Quality 1911 Optic Ready Leather Holster for Optic and Red Dot Accessorieshttps://preview.redd.it/wcl9gdyckx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=126c6958ba1ec54ee4d6874fbbc1a37011641e94 The 1791 Optic Ready 1911 Belt Holster BH1 in Signature Brown is a versatile and reliable choice for those seeking a high-quality belt holster. Crafted using premium 100% Certified American Heavy Native Steerhide leather, this holster exudes durability and comfort. Its multi-fit design and open top make it an easy choice for your preferred carry-style, accommodating a wide range of firearms. However, the added functionality of the optic cut and the inclusion of a sweat guard or shield give it a slight edge in terms of usability. The reinforced stitching ensures that the holster remains secure and long-lasting. Despite these pros, the holster may not be the most ideal choice for those looking for a more minimalist or lightweight design. Overall, the 1791 Optic Ready 1911 Belt Holster BH1 is a solid option for anyone seeking a reliable and feature-rich belt holster. 🔗Comfortable 1911 Right-Hand Tan Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/2a1nw8cdkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31ca6ec911636a71be7ac7244867af1f1e4b2fb1 Desantis Cozy Partner 1911 Tan Holster impressed me in many ways. I love its tension mechanism for handgun retention, ensuring that my firearm stays secure in place. However, the memory band, which helps maintain the holster's shape for easy re-holstering, could be improved. The 1 1/2" split belt loop works well, but I wish it was removable or adjustable for better compatibility with my belt. Another downside is that some models, unfortunately, lack this crucial feature. Overall, as a right-handed firearm enthusiast, this holster has proved useful and practical, but a little more flexibility could enhance my overall experience. 🔗Comfortable and Adjustable 1911 Holsters for Right-Hand Usehttps://preview.redd.it/j99ct9udkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2788fd6bb46a67e10dc34fac3214be4d34ec9341 As someone who's always on the lookout for innovative gear to make my outdoor activities more efficient, I recently had the chance to try out the Blackpoint Outback Chest System. This chest holster is an excellent alternative to traditional belt and off-body carry when hiking, skiing, or engaging in other activities where your hands are occupied. The Outback Chest System is crafted with a sleek design and lightweight materials, which makes it comfortable to wear and carry for long periods. The holster is securely attached to a well-designed, adjustable harness system that balances strength and ease of use. One of the standout features of this chest system is its versatile harness design. The Dynamic Bungee Strap enables greater flexibility for movement, while the Static Buckle Strap ensures a snug and stable fit. The Shoulder Strap allows for easy height adjustments, and the adjustable retention features on the holster ensure a perfect fit for a user's gun. While I'm not a fan of bulky, cumbersome accessories, the Outback Chest System is not heavy or unwieldy. The balance between comfort and security is well executed in this product. However, for those who prefer a more minimalist approach, it might be worth looking into other options. In conclusion, the Blackpoint Outback Chest System is a smart and practical choice for gun enthusiasts who need a reliable chest carry option for various outdoor activities. Although not everyone may find it their perfect fit, it deserves kudos for offering an effective solution to the inherent challenges of traditional belt and off-body carry methods. 🔗Cozy Partner Inside-the-Pants Holster for 1911 Government Modelhttps://preview.redd.it/pc4ezdpfkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c44d060f227eab24d4c092cc2bc86802cf612f1 I recently got my hands on the Desantis Cozy Partner Holster for my trusty Colt Gov Model 1911. Intrigued by its unique design, I eagerly put it to use. The first thing that caught my attention was the tension device. It provided a perfect fit for my handgun, securing it in place like a glove, and I didn't even have to struggle with adjusting the holster. The memory band that retains the shape of the holster was another great feature. It made re-holstering my handgun super easy and one-handed, which came in handy when I was on the move. The 1 1/2" split belt loop was a convenient addition, ensuring the holster stayed securely in place. However, there were a couple of hiccups during my experience. The lack of an adjustable belt loop was a bit of a bummer, as it would have been perfect for those of us with smaller belts. Also, the memory band and split belt loop were only available on some models, not all. Overall, the Desantis Cozy Partner Holster impressed me with its comfortable design, secure fit, and convenient features, despite a few minor drawbacks. If you're looking for a holster that provides both style and function, this might just be the right pick. 🔗Reliable 1911 Springfield 5" (rail) Concealed Carry Holsterhttps://preview.redd.it/314iavwfkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=637f1d73a887ae7a4cf05a5669c2d2e9d01517e1 As someone who has been a firearms enthusiast for years, I was intrigued to try out the 1911 Springfield 5" (Rail) Holster for concealed carry. The first thing that struck me was its lightweight construction, which made it feel incredibly comfortable to wear throughout the day. This holster also proved to be reliable, as it securely held my Springfield 5" in place, even during strenuous activities. One of the most notable features of this holster is its 1.50" belt loops, which provide a snug fit and stability. However, it did take a bit of time to get the holster to sit just right on my belt, which was a minor inconvenience. All in all, for those seeking a lightweight, reliable, and secure option for concealed carry, the 1911 Springfield 5" (Rail) Holster is a great choice. 🔗Versacarry Element Distressed Brown Leather Holster for 1911 Style Guns with Spare Mag Pocket and Easy Clipshttps://preview.redd.it/5o81exbgkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d79eb888a3c60e251994b871e37fa1b9850dd9d As a reviewer who's tried the Versacarry Element Holster for myself, I can confidently say it's a comfortable and versatile choice for anyone carrying 1911-style guns. The high-quality distressed brown leather not only looks great but also offers excellent protection, allowing me to conceal carry with peace of mind. The biggest highlight in this holster for me was the adjustable cant and easy-on/off clips. I appreciate that I can customize the holster's angle to suit my carry preferences, which makes my daily carry more ergonomic and comfortable. Additionally, the quick-release clips make it a breeze to access my firearm when needed. However, there are a couple of downsides that I've noticed during my use. First, the spare magazine storage compartment is quite snug, which can make it difficult to load or unload extra magazines. And second, while the raised protective backing helps shield my skin from cold contact, the holster does tend to slip a bit, especially when I'm moving around briskly. Overall, the Versacarry Element Holster is an excellent choice for those looking for a comfortable and discreet 1911 holster. Its adjustable cant and quick-release clips make it a standout option, but expect some minor issues with the spare magazine storage and slippage. But if you're willing to overlook these minor flaws, this holster could be a great addition to your daily carry routine.

Retention and SecurityRetention is a crucial feature that ensures your 1911 stays securely in its holster when not in use. Consider holsters with adjustable retention systems that allow you to adjust the tension to fit your personal preferences. Furthermore, the holster should have a secure clasp or locking mechanism to prevent accidental falls or drops.Comfort and ConcealmentComfort is a key factor to consider when choosing a 1911 holster, as you'll likely wear it frequently. Look for a holster that has a smooth interior to minimize friction against your firearm. Additionally, a 1911 holster with a curved base, adjustable cant, or a swivel mechanism can help you achieve better concealment, especially when carrying in the appendix position. https://preview.redd.it/gswt5dyikx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af2988ac44ee1340e9c32f42191e2d12a7c6015b Draw Speed and AccessDraw speed is vital for self-defense and can be affected by various factors such as the style of the holster and the position of the grip. A good holster should allow for quick and easy draws without compromising security. Consider holsters with open-bottom designs, as these often promote faster drawing speeds.Mounting Options and FitThere are different methods for attaching 1911 holsters, including belt loops, clips, and clips with belt loops. Choose a holster that suits your preferred method of attachment. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that the holster provides a snug and secure fit for your specific 1911 model. Consider the type of carry position you prefer (e. g. , appendix, side, small of the back) and look for holsters designed for that position.Brand Reputation and Customer Reviewshttps://preview.redd.it/vhu4albjkx3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fd12eda68259c62a25a56bde7223cfee73fabd5 Do your research on the 1911 holster's brand and customer reviews.

2024.06.01 09:44 planot Which type of containers for apartment balcony?
It's my first year growing tomatoes, herbs and flowers on my balcony. It's made of stainless steel with minimal gaps - this is to say that water can go through at any area of the balcony. I want to be mindful of my neighbour below when it comes to water dripping down and filter it out so that soil doesn't go down much.
I was wondering what type of pots work well for this setup? I already have the ones that you hang on a balcony rail, putting fabric between plant pots and bigger container to keep the soil in. But I am running out of the rail space and need some solution to put directly on the balcony floor. Would placing pots with holes over a small outdoors carpet be good enough?
It rains A LOT in my area, so placing the plants in pots without any drainage is not something I would consider - I won't remember to empty them out after each rainfall and they'll end up sitting in water.

Wiktor Czarnowski disembarks from the Inter-city train, the flurry of coach class passengers rush ahead towards the exit down the platform from him, while a porter guides him and the remaining first class passengers toward an exit through the station’s first class lounge. A small crowd of the first-class passengers forms around a cart carrying their luggage, Wiktor instead walks past carrying only a briefcase. Outside of the trains cool air conditioned interior, Guiana’s tropical heat beats down on him with it’s typical endless onslaught. Casting a quick look over his shoulder to ensure he hasn't been followed, Wiktor’s eye catches on the 120km Tall Space Pier, as one of it's two platforms makes it’s climb to the heavens. However, Wiktor was not followed, and he makes a hasty pace towards the street exit of the station.
“Excuse me sir! Permit me to call a cab for you?” a station attendant calls out at him.
“A cab? Are you serious? I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those rust buckets! I'd rather walk than be seen in such common transportation. Now, out of my way" Wiktor replies in a huff.
In a wave of embarrassment the attendant quickly responds “I’m so sorry Mr. Czarnowski! I didn't realize it was you! Honest!”
Wiktor crossed the street in a rush, rounding the street corner safely, it had been years if not decades since when cars had become the most common form of transportation in The Commonwealth's cities, thousands of streetcars, subways, heavy rail commuter trains, Light Rail Trains and even cablecars on some of the more challenging hills, crisscrossed the cities of the former Commonwealth every second of every day. With one last glance over his shoulder, Wiktor arrived at his destination, a small streetcar station, one of the very few to still accept fares to be payed in coins. 30 Seconds later, the streetcar rolled into the station, a computer recognized his ticket, and Wiktor was safely onboard and on his way to his office.
The CART (Cayenne Area Rapid Transit) Streetcar rolled smoothly into Wiktor’s final stop, and he quickly disembarked at the rearmost door, and walked into the lobby of his company’s office building.
"Evening, Mr. Czarnowski. Didn't expect to see you at this hour—everything alright?" the Lobby Guard asked cautiously.
"Just needed a break from the old ball and chain, Jean-Luc. Won't be long" Wiktor responded, before making his way up the elevator to the 79th Floor.
Wiktor reached the hallway, at the late hour all the secretary’s had long since gone home. Setting his briefcase on one of their desks, he unlocked it and lifted the case open. Reaching in he pulled out a pair of gloves, and slid them on. Second, he reached in and pulled out a .38 Snubnose Revolver, and loaded six bullets into it. He pocketed the gun, and closed the briefcase, locking it again. He walked quietly down the hallway, passing his office door, and reaching his business partner’s door instead. He starts to knock but pulls his hand away, and instead opens the door.
“Wiktor! What are you doing here!” Anna Kowalska starts to shout but two .38 Bullets send her reeling to the floor. He walks over and puts three more bullets into her computer, before throwing the gun to the ground and running over to the elevator and sending it down to the 2nd Floor. He returns to Anna’s office, shoving the gloves into his pocket, and steady’s himself for a second before reaching for the phone.
"Jean-Luc, quick! Anna's been shot, call for the Police!"

With its adjustable tension unit and interchangeable belt slot and paddle attachments, this holster is perfect for both paddle and belt slot carry methods. One highlight that stood out was the detailed hand molding for excellent retention, ensuring a secure fit for your weapon.

The holster felt really sturdy and well-constructed, thanks to the high-quality water buffalo leather and embedded polymer layer that adds strength and rigidity to the design. One feature that stood out to me was the closed cell foam padding on the back, which provided a nice level of comfort and acted as a sweat barrier while keeping my firearm safely tucked away. One downside was the adjustable draw tension, which, despite its custom fit, sometimes caused me issues when I was trying to access my firearm quickly. Additionally, the holster seemed to have a bit of a forward cant, which made it a tad harder to conceal under clothing. Overall, it was a bit of a love-hate relationship, but I appreciated its rigidity and comfort during daily use. 🔗Texas 1836 Victory 4-in-1 Pocket Holster for Sig Sauer P365 - Highly Durable and Versatilehttps://preview.redd.it/fjmwzms1ow3d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59b563c366b836babb3fd9db8638cc359bf81c81 I recently came across the Texas 1836 Victory - 4 in 1 Holster, designed for those seeking a high-quality option.

The four-in-one design of the Victory Holster is truly versatile, accommodating a range of firearms with ease. I particularly appreciated the open top design, which made it convenient to use and easy to slip in and out of. The belt clip/hook attachment was secure and stayed in place throughout my daily activities. The genuine leather material used in the holster exuded quality and gave it a sleek look. It was comfortable to wear and held up well over time. However, I did notice a slight drawback: the brown color might not be the best choice for everyone, as it could show dirt and scuffs more easily. Overall, the Texas 1836 Victory - 4 in 1 Holster has been a reliable addition to my daily life. The combination of style, versatility, and durability has made it a standout choice for me.

The distressed brown leather and tough nylon trim give this holster a premium look and feel, while its padded back and waistband clip provide a secure and comfortable fit. What really sets this holster apart is its soft interior, which helps protect the finish of my gun and ensures it remains scratch-free.

The holster allows me to carry my favorite pistol with ease and even includes a space to hold a spare magazine. One major positive aspect of this holster is its ability to conceal the pistol under loose clothing. However, one downside I've noticed is that it doesn't offer full barrel coverage like advertised. Some users have reported this issue as well. Additionally, the holster is quite tight initially, which is essential for securely holding the pistol, but it can make the draw process a bit challenging.

They jacked it up, changed the interior, and wheels, etc and it was his pride and joy, he finally gave them the info when they put "dingle berries" inside. help!

2024.06.01 02:10 HarmonyDragon Stop bothering my duck friend! Is getting annoying.
Sorry little vent to those who know how annoying and fixated our Pomeranian family members can get with their bark pitches.
Last few morning Carmela has been going crazy at the sliding glass balcony doors in an effort to help her mama duck friend nesting in our big potted plant out. Today I saw why…..mama duck’s nest has been discovered by another duck. How? She followed her and now she comes to….well I don’t know what she wants other than to piss off Carmela and make mama duck very agitated.
First few times I guess Carmela’s barking scared her off and mama just sat there protecting her eggs but today I literally had to open the door, which Carmela jumped at the chance to step out on balcony. Seeing her come out and hearing her not behind closed doors scared the crap out of both the other duck and mama, who moved to a railing away from Carmela.
But once that other duck flew away Carmela stopped, huffed at mama duck and went back inside to where she couldn’t be seen so mama could settle back down. But geez….it was a big commotion this morning at 6:45am that I am sure our neighbors didn’t like. I know our next door neighbor to our left is not pleased we didn’t destroy that nest.
Either way Carmela keeping up her end of the bargain. Now waiting on my MIL’s visit to help figure out what to do when these du la hatch and how to not let this happen again no matter what Carmela promises….lol.
