Pizza is garbage food for when you need to make a turd and a more complicated solution like a proper meal is not an option. Given a choice of what to eat with cost and time not being factors I never choose pizza.

My VP9 slide and Aimpoint ACRO P-1 are off to the machine shop for milling.

So my new Aimpoint ACRO P-1 showed up yesterday. Now to get the slide and the ACRO out to get the slide milled.

RMR. I have an older one.

Shooting both back to back on the same day with the same ammo, the long slide cut groups by about 1/3. Longer sight radius helps clean up sight alignment errors, and the match fit barrel improves mechanical accuracy. Adjustable sights are also a huge benefit so the pistol can be zeroed. Will have to bench them both to determine how much actual mechanical accuracy difference there is. The long slide also shoots a bit softer, but the VP9 is already a soft shooter so it’s kind of a subtle difference. Hit the range twice last week with my brother and my dad, brother is carrying a Gen 5 G19 MOS with a Trijicon RMR. I got some time on it as well, the RDS is pretty slick on a semiautomatic, I’ve also shot an M&P with a Leupold Delta Point and liked the RDS. Even with the superior sighting system the Glock could not match the accuracy with the ammo we had of the stock VP9 in my hands. My brother was disgusted that I handily outshot him with his own pistol (hey I used to be a competitive bullseye shooter...) and even more disgusted when he outshot his pistol with the long slide VP9. Very pleased right now with how good the barrel and slide are fit on that kit. Now to get it milled for a red dot sight.... the dot is worth the time to learn. Yes I can shoot nice groups with iron sights, but it takes a lot of concentration and that is fatiguing. It was pretty damn easy to shoot that G19 with a dot on it consistently, enough that I’m confident I was getting representative accuracy out of it. With a dot all I had to do was manage the trigger. So once the Aimpoint ACRO P-1 comes out I’m sending the long slide off to get milled, and probably send the frame in to Lazy Wolf Guns for some texturing and a trigger job with an emphasis on cleaning up over travel and reducing the reset. Unfortunately the Glock 19 still doesn’t get along with my hands, the trigger guard needs a deep undercut to not chew up my middle finger, the stupid cutout in the front of the frame irritates my pinky, and the top of the frame beats up the knuckle on my shooting hand thumb. Maybe I should try a G17, the grip on the G19 is just too cramped. At least they got rid of the stupid ass finger groves that fit no one.

Speaking of toys, got a long slide kit for my VP9: http://i.imgur.com/bHSKYhF.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Z6A3zhm.jpg Barrel is fitted just like a USP Expert. Shoots very well, conceals no problem in that holster and pretty comfortably too once belt tension is adjusted right.

I’ll bet you enjoy that.

Yep he’s a filthy green texting peasant.

Gayer that AIDS. Total fad. Do you also have a man bun?

To start with we will explore the classic Club Sandwich. http://i.imgur.com/EuwgjPp.jpg

I make delicious sandwiches, and photograph them. Mostly for use in menus and ads.

Jack the Rottweiler was much better last night, the park across the street dried up enough for he and Bailey to get properly walked. A tired exercised puppy is a good puppy. As a bonus everyone with kids or dogs seemed to be there too so his socialization got some work. He is bonkers about kids, and got his fill of small children playing with him in the play ground area. He is comprehending the “sit” command pretty well, and “come”. The “stay” command eludes him at this time. He is super oriented towards praise and food, so training is a bit easier than with our female GSD since she gives zero fucks about treats if something else has her attention. She’s a tough bitch when she gets focused on chasing deer, or meeting other dogs or people; we tried an electric training collar on her years ago and gave up. She would just power right through the jolt and keep on her task. She probably would have made a good working dog, the vet has commented on her about this since she stays with the vet when we travel. Vet says she’s always turned on, they leave her up front now, she guards the front desk and patrols the area. Not aggressive but just lets them know someone is at the door. LOL. Anecdotaly the female GSD is really handy at making solicitors not want to continue knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell. They see her at the door and “nope” out 90% of the time. Which is funny because the mailman, Fed Ex, and UPS guys all love her, she comes in for the full lean to get loved on when they show up. Same for our phone/ISP tech. She seems to know that they’re OK.

Jack the Rottweiler puppy pooped on the floor this evening after being let out to do his business. I was not amused, did I mention that I hate puppies?

I can't for sure speak for felis catus, but Puma concolor isn't bad at all. Kind of like pork.

I'll bet it was delicious.

There’s a Chinese restaurant in Gillette, WY called the China King (very original) that I sometimes go to, even though by the standards of anywhere else it is quite mediocre; there used to be a pet shop next door in the strip mall. The pet shop went out of business, shortly after the quality of food at the China King declined. I also could swear that the shape and texture of the meat changed. Coincidence? Maybe. I wonder if the pet shop was having inventory control issues?

Probably about right in the US and Canada. Not so much in Korea...

Jack (puppy) and Bailey out for a walk in the snow. Windy and cold today, but they didn’t seem to mind. They found a stick, much amusement was had by all. http://i.imgur.com/4sqNYXc.jpg

I can’t take it with me but I could pass it on to my son.

Or maybe I’ll keep my money instead.

I'm going order a Nighthawk Custom 5" 9mm with a double stack frame and their new optics mounting system. Because **** having $5K when I could have an awesome gun instead.

Now we have 2 dogs and a toddler. The newest addition: http://i.imgur.com/BE2KXbJ.jpg His name is Jack.

GI parts for the M14 dried up long ago, leaving inferior commercial Springfield parts for the current M1A’s. I’ve had two of them, and will not have another one. The M14 was a shitty design when adopted, and unlike wine time hasn’t improved it.
