Now I know what to put on that personalized T Shirt I have been wanting to design

Personally , I would not use a modified gun as my self defense gun , so I don't use them period. I particapte in any sports or what not as an affordable fun supplement to training so I have no interest in shooting anything lightened , etc. There is no specific law pertaining to altering guns , but the law gurus advise against it. Especially in a striker fired with no active safety on it - the trigger pull poundage is considered a safety related part of the design . Technically , a Prosecutor could have a field day if you defend yourself with a twitch trigger ...IF charges are pressed in the first place , IF it goes to trial , IF they do an autopsy on your guns. There are at least 10 "ifs" before your gun is dissected and criticized ( most likely) . At the end of the day you have to pick your own position,risks with these things. People will give you advice here , tell you to chill out and not worry about it , then throw you a bake sale maybe for legal funds but they wont pay your mortgage or tuck your kids in at night. Fact. IIRC , it says right on some of the Apex match grade trigger upgrades " not recommended for self defense/carry purposes" .

The rock was kicked up from the highway or fell off his load? If the company isn't being helpful best bet is just see if a junkyard has a windshield. This happened to me on the helix of the Lincoln tunnel ..truck company denied missing any large metal pieces of trim off their trucks. We brought it in to Geico for repair and it did not meet the deductable but Geico replaced all of our car seats for new ones. Nice ones too . I have no idea why .

Just don't bring a Star Ledger umbrella. My husband brought one to a rainy match and things broke bad....

Honestly , I'm not very nice about it. I use to be , but my tolerance has gone down exponentially . Maybe it is the 3 kids that have made me more pragmatic and sometimes brutal in these situations ( I can completely field strip and reassemble a 3 year old boy in 15 seconds flat) The dog closes his eyes when I come at him with something , he knows what is going to happen lol . My official advice to another dog owner would be to gently rub the solution around his face with a soft cloth being careful to avoid his eyes. I go full Gatorade at a football game on his ass these days though. No time , and don't want to touch him anymore than I have to when he smells like that.

Lol yeah , that sounds like something Bo would do. He is faithful , protective , but not one of the greatest planners I have ever met. We had a steel baby gate that he got hung up in , and instead of waiting for us to help him he went total King Kong and completely bent the steel bars. When he had to wear the cone of shame , it lasted about 10 minutes as he was running through the house and taking furniture with him in his efforts to get it off. I don't like leaving dogs in the yard , but I rescued this English Mastiff a few years ago. She had been loose in the woods of Little Egg Harbor for about 8 months before they captured her. She NEVER , even after a few years , fully relaxes in the house. She just wants to be outside. We have a 3 season room on the back of the house and she has made that her den. Bo is super loyal to her and would rather stay with her. SO they are in the 3 season and yard , and my German Shepherd is in the house. All 3 are protective , so I don't mind the thorough perimeter control . But , I do feel walking a dog is better for your relationship , and your grass in your yard. Of which we have none. Plus the English Mastiff is smelly . As a breed they are not for the fastidious. She has gas in the yard and you can smell it in the house briefly , I swear. And she drools . She is older , so once she is over the Rainbow Bridge I will go back to being the one to bring the dogs out to go , either in the yard or front. That should eliminate any critter issues since I can check the scene first. For now going to try grub control and maybe some mothballs and motion sprinklers. Have to check to see if my dogs are repelled or interested in the mothballs first. Thanks for the help , for all the joking it really is a huge drawn out disruption when he gets skunked.

Tomato juice does nothing..except make your dog red. Nature's Miracle makes some decent stuff in a bottle. I use that first then do the household goods trifecta after they air dry.

Thanks I may pick up some of that too. Just got done cleaning up the carcass. There are tufts of fur everywhere :/ Hazard of living near the river I guess. We average a kill per week. At least they eat the rabbits and just leave a pelt. On the upside we are able to maintain a fairly organic garden as no pest control is needed.

A taxidermy owl..yes! I may try those motion water spray things. You just reminded me my grandfather use to use those to keep creatures out of his garden. Thanks :_

Forgot to mention , has to be non toxic in case the dogs or toddler gets it.

This seems to be a good place to go for animal issues ..snakes , coyotes , skunks. First off I have 3 dogs. The Boxer Hound mix is dumber than a bag of hammers I swear. This is the TENTH time at least in 2 years he has been sprayed . Seriously. My English Mastiff knows to stay away from skunks and my German Shepherd does not do anything unless I tell him it is ok. Bo? The Boxer Hound mix? I love him , but he is a big dope. It makes everyone in the house gag as it comes straight through the walls. If I get pulled over , I am getting searched for sure as my car smells like a frat room in NYU. I usually use Nature's Miracle , let it air dry , then give him a bath with Dawn dish detergent , vinegar , and baking soda . Makes a bit of a dog volcano but after 3 or 4 shampoos seems to work. Any other faster acting remedies would be appreciated. Anyway , is there anything that works to keep them out of the yard? Anything? Someone said to use the coyote urine stuff they sell in hunting stores , but I wonder how long it works . If it is just a day or two I am not buying stock in the company and spreading it all around the yard every other day. Dumb dog.

It only takes a few irresponsible owners to let their hybrids get loose. Wolf hybrids are escape artists and unfortunately a popular pet. 2 high content hybrids can produce some very wolf-y offspring.

Can you snap a pic? Depending on the type of snake there are different ways to control the population.

Oh , thanks for thinking of me I ordered a 10/22 for her though. Going to take O.S up on the cut down stock

The antlers make really good chews for dogs.

Did you try Bib's in Kearny? My little brother drove an old Mercedes Diesel in front of my house where it literally gave out a big sigh and voided all of its inner fuel in the street. Anyway , Bib's came to get it and gave him 800 bucks for it.

Thanks I agree with you completely on the Serpa and Fobus ,thread derailment risks be damned . Bladetech for the win , especially with the 20% off. All of my holsters are Safariland or Bladtech at this point , it was more the waiting time I was looking to avoid ( could be a woman/shopping thing ) I don't even know if I want to keep the gun . I have about 100 rounds through it. So I was reluctant to spend so much on the holster. It is what it is though ..so if I sell it , it will come with a really nice holster. Bladetech ordered with 20% off ( thanks Pizza Bob for the behind the scenes help !)

Looks like a neat holster ..but I do not think it would be legal for IDPA , which is why I wanted a holster for this gun I am absolutely tethered to the computer today..tons of photo editing to do. So I have been poking around other forums and stuff. I'll let you all know what I wind up with .

John , is that a retention holster?

Great , thanks. I'll take a look at those.

Hey all , I am having trouble finding a kydex type holster for a full size 1911 with a rail on it ( more specifically a Smith And Wesson E Series Tactical 45 ACP) . I can only find that type of holster in a Blackhawk Serpa- do not want. Any other suggestions besides special order , paying near 100 bucks , and waiting 6 to 8 weeks?? Edited to add - no paddle holster , only looking for belt style.

You're welcome. http://www.solexcatsmo.com/smoked-fish.html
