The Czickness LII.2…..the sunshine and roses version.

Got some jacked up feedback already as well.

I'm hoping that means that the mods will boot him. If he's going to act like that with his deals, this is not the right place for him.

yeah, not sure mods get involved at that level, but just looking through some of his stuff (looked like some outright flipping on at least one occasion) and that early feedback, even if there was something I was interested in, I wouldn't engage. Could just be he had a rough start, but I'll let others figure that out.

Conducting a deal is pretty straight forward on INGO. Not sure how one has that many issues that quickly.

 

[ChrisK]

It’s an appealing design - just not sure it’s enough to make me leave the P365?

I was wondering the same thing.

Morning folks!

Another weekend without a range trip. I need to get out and do some shooting. The gray cold January weather is not really helping though. It's a great time to work indoors until we get some snow to make it interesting.

I'll be at HHRP at 1pm today. Neighbor wanted to go shooting.

Way too many no shows for me. I can overlook one time if it’s accidental but it looks like a habitual offender.

It feels good in the hand and the trigger breaks nicely at 5lbs. The hammer designed carry piece is the same size as an Sig P365.

I’m interested to hear a range report on the FN Reflex. I read a glowing review of it in American Rifleman. I later handled one at a LGS and I was underwhelmed. I suspect it was just a bad one and others are much better.

I’m also interested to hear about the S2c. Sounds like a great time

We know all about no shows….

Like Crack donuts at a GTG?

Anyone in the group have a cheap Windows laptop they want to get rid of? I need one to program GMRS radios. Windows software only to program my radios.

How soon would you need it, I have a decent one I was getting ready to take all my files off and factory reset but it might be a few days?

Great range trip with the Wizard, Norm, Reese's Pieces and other friends...

Underwhelmed. P365 series is still the best in that segment IMO.

My take on the S2c.

First I am spoiled, second for a carry gun I prefer to carry hammer down with a DA first shot so a decocker is preferred (although I carry my Rami B but alway cringe when I put the hammer down).

nice pistol, da/sa pretty smooth. With factory sights out of the box I was shooting low and right at 7 yds (rear sight is adjustable so that is pretty meaningless). For a straight out of the box pistol its very nice.

But, for me for that money I think I would prefer getting a P01, cajun parts and a full wizard treatment. Like I said, my well broken in Cajunized with Dawson sights, wizard touched, sub 4 lb (edit: Sa not da) SA PCR s still one of my favorite pistols to shoot and a pleasure to shoot all day (put a little over 750 rounds through it in 3 days when I took the Gunsight pistol class and it ran flawlessly).

Agree with WT on the FN

Agreed on the S2C. It was nice, but not $1200 nice. Like we discussed, nice having an optics cut on a CZ pistol, but that's the nicest thing IMO.

CameraMonkey picked up an $80 laptop at Microcenter the other week. I didn't look for one when I was up there the other weekend. I think he is using it for much the same thing.

Was that a refurb I assume? I might have to go check there as I paid $220 for a refurb from a guy I know that reconditions laptops. Wouldn't mind picking up one for less than $100.

Nope, it was brand new. Though it was 4GB RAM, 64GB SSD, and a Celeron processor.

I am guessing it was:

Microcenter

 

[wtburnette]

Ah, I see. That's okay I've done the Celeron thing in the past and wasn't happy with it. I'm okay getting the ~$200 refurb laptop, as it'll come with a Core i7, 16GB RAM and a 256GB NVME drive.

I don't recommend it for a daily driver, but if you want a cheap laptop for specific things, it would work ok. It would likely do light web stuff ok as well.

Then again, I have been known to use my Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) for general web stuff and using as a Linux workstation.

Will CHIRP work on Parallels?
I'm asking this assuming you're an all Mac guy, except for this need...

I wish I could have joined you. Work day for me
