When the going gets tough, the tough get going...

I just thought you'd like this.

 

Is that a Glock 17? Is that yours? (Or something you found on the web?)

 

Hi... it is a G19. It is not something I found on the web. I need to do more editing on the image with photoshop. If you want the psd file, let me know!

 

I thought that was a Glock! Very nice.

I'm looking at a G26 for concealed carry.

 

Here's a few of mine on my shop workbench...



The little one is an Interarms 22 Magnum. I can point shoot center mass at 30 feet with my strong hand and 25 feet with my weak hand. The USP is one that I have had for a while... But just added the Jet Funnel and M6 Laser/Light. I am trying to find a good Kydex or ballistic nylon holster but I am having a hard time. I want it to be a formed holster and not just a bag you strap to your leg. I am in the process of making a nice formed leather holster that I can attach to the back of the headboard in the master bedroom. Then I don't need to worry about turning on the light switch. The light from this thing is VERY bright!!!

 

Hey, I got one of those little 22's.

Mine is a North American Arms brand. 22 L/rifle-5 shot.

Had it about 27-28 years now. Only shot it 5-6 times since new.

You can get a belt buckle holster for it!

 

Gene... You are right... It is North American Arms... I got my other one mixed up with it...

Yeah... I thought about the belt buckle holster for it but it won't fit with these grips.

 

Yep, I saw one a few months ago when I bought a top for my old pickup truck, the guy was an ex-biker too. He said he's had it for a very long time, and keeps it loaded on the belt buckle. That buckle is huge though so you kind of have to dress differently to match

Personally I'd recommend something larger though

 

I have a laser for it, but it's just too ugly to stick on it, and until I can get an internal laser I don't use a laser. Not to mention the fact that you have to get a holster designed to contain a weapon with the light, otherwise it's in a pocket, in a box, somewhere not handy. I do have other lights on other items like Surefire Nitrolon, etc... along with red dots. That G19 has the trijicon night sights also. That helps so much!

I believe every American should exercise their 2nd Amendment rights before they're taken away by the gun grabbers. I also believe that every American should CCW as well because it's proven that there is less violence and danger when a state permits CCW.

Meanwhile back at the ranch, you're very good there with that image, I love it. I was tempted to add another reflection but I'm up to my eyeballs in work today and I really need to get back to it.

To those who may be offended by these images, I say they are just a salute to our brave soldiers, marines, sailors, and airmen who put their lives on the line every day in order to support and defend the US Constitution. The image of some lone operator in the middle of nowhere, unfurling his vsat antenna, plugging the satellite modem into the ethernet jack of his (or her) Toughbook and getting the job done under the most hellish conditions. Hence the G19 as everyone knows more operators prefer Glock.

Oh Yes! God Bless Admiral Fallon too.

 

Terminus I like your outfit it looks like it gets regular use TB's look brand new or he just keeps em cleaner.

 

Sorry! guys, This is the only thing i have:

 

They will be coming to take that from you any day now!

 

Hi... I might have a small advantage in that I can step outside and practice all day. Living in the middle of nowhere has it's advantages. I had just been when I snapped that, I was working outside and was about to clean it in fact. Sometimes in the middle of a bad day it's good to work on some drills or just plink. I guess my nearest neighbor is about 5 miles away as the blackhawk flies.

 

Not in New Mexico.

 

Now that's funny!

 

Never fear Ohlip - you can still hunt cows with that; and with the Toughbook along, you'll know EXACTLY where you dropped them!

Never bring a knife to a hammerfight...?!?

 

toughbook, here is a link to the best place to get a custom kydex holster made. I have several from him and they are the best around. I have been using custom kydex holsters since 1992 when a knife maker named mad dog would make then for his special buddies. COM will make anything you can dream up.

The web site sucks so give him a call http://www.comholsters.com/miID.html

 

Ohlip; It is a shame about Canadian laws regarding firearms. I have a friend in Ontario that was firing a friend's shotgun at a target while they had a party (Middle of nowhere, and not at anybody). Somebody that didn't like my friend was at the party, got a photo of him shooting, sent it to the cops, and now he cannot come to the US until 2010. He's lucky he didn't get the two years he was facing.

I hope we don't lose our rights as Americans.

 

It's up to everyone of us every day to not lose our rights. Email your elected officials and let them know that you believe in and support 2nd Amendment protection.

 

They ignore email. You have to make the phone call, even if you get brushed off by an assistant, they still note what you say. With mail, they just filter it and you get a form letter back.

 

I've got a site where you can email the ego slug's staffers. As you know, the ego slugs test the wind on every issue to see how much good or harm that they will do to their political career. The staffers help them collect that data, and always want to appear to be "in the know".

 

Here is another one you might like...

 

NIIICEE! Jeeez... I want to move out there. I've always wanted to live off the land... live of the grid... etc. Must be nice to step out the door and not worry about anyone or anything... Except the Tarantulas and Scorpions!

 

We get some serious snow at almost 8k feet a few times a year, and it's 100 miles each way to a Doctor or a hosptal, or a grocery store. That makes it tough sometimes. The way fuel prices are going, food shopping is once a month. I do visit the city alot and stay for about a week at a time thanks to the price of fuel, I can work from anywhere there is a decent net connection. We had so much wind this weekend, was pretty much blowing for 3 days straight with gusts up to 50 mph. I made alot of extra electricity via the wind generators.
I did "pose" that stuff since I am on a Panasonic Toughbook "tough" theme it would be cool if some of our military folks could take some pictures with their machines and some of their other "equipment" ... I'd like to see a Toughbook sitting next to a SAW, or to a case of grenades, etc... All politics aside, we have the best military in the world, and our military need our prayers, and support. If we don't support what's going on, we still need to support them.
Anyway, you should move out of the cities and get ready, SHTF is coming.

 

Tarantulas Si, Scorpions nada. You have to work fairly hard to get a Tarantula to "bite" you. They just scare the holy crap out of you when you accidentally disturb them and they jump out of where they are hiding. Scorpions are quick to sting; but generally are pretty slow moving, and thus easy to avoid.

However, if you get drunk and stupid and walk around in your kitchen barefoot, and a Scorpion gets you on the little toe, you can have a good laugh because your foot looks like you have a big toe on both sides of your foot. (Ask me how I know.)

In my part of the World, we don't see the Tarantulas much anymore due to the Fireants.

To keep this OT; I wonder if Fireants could make a Toughbook cry uncle? They love electronics and can disable a water well pump pressure switch in a few minutes when they swarm. When enough of them get between the contacts, they short out the switch.

We put the insecticide cattle eartags in with the electronics to prevent the fireants from swarming. TB maybe you could start a new business with a hack to put cattle eartags in your UTBs.

So Pappy... you suppose Army Ants have Teeny Tiny Toughbooks with teeny tiny GPSes?

*Imagines an ant giving directions... left at the fork in the twig, right at the twin acorns... then straight down the pheromone trail...*

 

If you're referring to Cut Ants; then I can tell you that after a long lifetime of studying them, they only go in straight lines to and from the nest. If they have tiny little TOUGHBOOKS, I wouldn't be able to see them without the Hubbell telescope.

Pappy
" Imagines a world where ants have Toughbooks and tiny GPS's and there are no fun nazis or politicians, as he dozes off for his siesta".

 

You SEE? It's the STRAIGHT LINE... dead giveaway. They know ExACTLY where they're going... therefore they MUST have Teeny Tiny Toughbooks with teeny tiny GPSes... I bet they've negotiated a licensing contract with Panasonic... they get Toughbooks, Panasonic gets teeny tiny little workers just the right size for working on those teeny tiny little surface mount components...

mnem
So we asked the computer "What shoud we do?"
But it just kept giving this insane advice...
"Oh, you need teeny little eyes
for reading teeny little print...
Just like you need tiny little hands for milking mice..."

 

Maybe Modly could employ some of the ants to man his super soldering station. Or toughbook could equip them with tiny little hazmat suits and use them to place the insecticide ear tags in the UTBs.

 

Ooooh! I wanna make the HazMat suits! Can we use reverse osmosis filtering? A rebreather is gonna be difficult at those sizes; almost have to make the air molecules line up single file...

mnem
That's one small step for a man; one giant SQUISH for insectkind!

 

I'm imagining ants jumping up and down on the keyboard to type, or being shot at the screen (like the 'bubbles' in the beer commercial), to activate the touchscreen.

 

I always used to laugh when someone would mention this paranoid safe society bull****. Exactly who is this "safe society" safe for?

edit: obviously people who never go a places where a conventional laptop won't take them.

 

A person who lives without a grasp of reality!

 

I'd have to second or third or whatever this assesment.

SCOTUS is deciding Americans have a Second Amendment Right and it's been touted by the judas goat NRA as a victory but the decision actually will be that yes, you do have a 2A right, but with "Reasonable Limitations" which means they're giving in one hand, and taking away in the other. Please contact SCOTUS by any means possible and let them know how you feel about that. Join the Gun Owners of America (GOA), abandon the judas goat NRA and make sure this basic American right is preserved. Otherwise, the alternative will be tyranny. Look at what happened in England.

 

GOA is the only "no compromise" gun rights group! I met Larry Pratt 12 years ago and have been a member since.

I read that as meaning the same thing. say goodby to your guns people!!

Toughbooks will follow next Then we'll be using ibms or dells

 

HEH! I LOVE it!
