Proud dad in San Antonio

Recommended Posts

I like bragging about my kids.

My daughter just completed her training pipeline as an Air Force Farsi and Dari linguist and starts at her first permanent duty station in a couple of weeks. She's home on leave right now.

My son is graduating from USAF Pararescue Jumper indoc in two hours at Medina Annex, Lackland AFB. He has nearly two years of pipeline to go, all of it sounds pretty cool. And almost as tough as indoc.

God has graced me with two fantastic offspring!

 

That being said, where are the good gun shops in San Antonio? So far all I've found are a couple of dives. MIssed the monthly gun show (first weekend of the month), bummer.

Congrats, you should be proud.

 

As the son of two Air Force veterans, they urged me to stay civilian, join the corporate world, but I have much respect for those who serve.

 

That being said, had I known about the PJ's as I was growing up... my life would be very different right now. Props to your son!

Thanks everyone for the great words, it's very much appreciated. Michael2013 - congratulations to your son, that's a huge achievement. Not a lot of officer slots available right now. I came in through OTS myself, 27 years ago, when it was at Medina Annex here in San Antonio. Coincidentally, the same place they do PJ indoc now.

Andy, are you down here in San Antonio? Try Nardi's off of route 10 at W.W. White Road on the southwest side about 20 minutes from Lackland. Great shop, awesome indoor range. Also Alamo Tactical on the northwest side. Great people. My office is on the Kelly AFB side of Lackland. Your kids sound awesome, congrats.

    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
