I’m really starting to think I may make it a primarily 43X. I DO like that extra grip length.

Patty was having A LOT of trouble trying to sleep. I finally just turned it on even though she said we didn’t need to. After about a half hour it was cooling down pretty good and she was out like a light.

I bought a Cold Steel Arkansas toothpick to add to my collection.

We have not turned on the a/c yet, but it will not be long before we do. We're waiting for a thunderstorm overnight and rain all week.

Dogs are trying to to hide from the heat. We finally turned our AC on Saturday night. I looked at the thermostat and inside it read 85! No wonder the fan didn’t seem to be doin much good now at it set at 75 and a desktop type fan (12-14 inch) it’s quite nice.

Good evening Yard. It sure has been quiet here lately.

WOMEN! They just don’t understand firearms. Took my G43 and G48 to church today to show a friend of mine and told him I actually got TWO FREE GUNS. I switched the two slides around and VIOLA, TWO new guns. A Glock 43X and a Glock 43 Long Slide. FOUR GUNS! Patty argued that no they were only two guns. I guess women just don’t understand one gun morphing into 2, and doing that twice, equals FOUR GUNS. Good thing WE rule the world.

I’m contemplating on making a 43LS (long slide) out of my regular 43. I’ll just take the 48 slide and slam it on the 43 frame. The WTP holster that came with the gun will of course house the 43LS with about an inch sticking out of the bottom. I’m not worried about this, as the grip is the hardest to conceal.

Best thing about buying the G43 is that since I already had the G48 (which makes 2 separate guns), I can now turn 2 guns into Four guns in under 30 seconds. That’s a bargain in anyone’s mind. When you can turn 2 guns into 4 without spending any more money, ya just gotta smile. Even Tom would be happy.

Yep, Randy the 43x and 48 are nice. It will be really nice when glock finally releases the 15rd mags for the 43x/48.

I just picked up a custom 43x/48 frame. I'm not big on the 43 frame, so I just swapped the slide over and love the new setup. If I want a tiny pocket pistol I still have the 43 frame.

I, actually Patty and I both, have been VERY fortunate.

Randy, you are one LUCKY Dog !

I wasn’t gonna do it. But when you get a real deal you can’t refuse, what you supposed to do. What is I got a G43 and a whole bunch of “accessories” and extras. Market price figured out to over 850 and I got it all for 510. I had the cash saved up for something else but decided to forgo buying a new H&K VP9cc. Glad I did Now.

With this G43 and my old G48 I can basically make 4 different guns just by changing slides.

Well, I'm taking a short break from mowing but doing OK. [t's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Howdy Dawgs. Hope everyone is doin well. I could complain but nobody would listen. Say that when someone asks how you doin and look at the reaction on their face.

Just trying to help a fellow Dog prep.

Good morning Yard. Jerry has another nice offering coming up.

Good question Randy !

Oh Yeah, what time you serving up the leftovers today?

MMMMMMMMMMMM .............. smoked ribs.

Afternoon Yard!


It's a beautiful day here. Sunny, warm, and a slight breeze.

I got up early and went to the city to pick up a custom pistol frame that I had shipped to a LGS.

I came home and replaced the exhaust on my old truck after another trip to the parts store for little things.

Threw some ribs on the smoker and just finished installing the guts on the pistol frame. I think it's to be a huge improvement over the stock one.

Now I'm relaxing a bit enjoying the smell of the ribs on the smoker. Unfortunately, I have to wait until dinner time to enjoy them.

Good afternoon Yard. A beautiful day out there today, so I guess a lot of folks are enjoying the day.

Thanks Tom.

Good morning Yard. After a cold start it's shaping up to be a nice day.

My Patriot Supply is a good alternative to 4Patriots ; I have some from both companies. Midway and Sportsman's Guide occasionally have good prices on freeze dried food as well.

We’ve got samples from like 4 of the bigger or better known companies, but I’m just hesitant to drop 4-5 hundred bucks on one brand then have Patty not like it. Me, I’m a garbage gut. Her, she is VERY particular about food.

On a totally different note, we’ve had the appraisers out for our Vehicle, and today, roof damage. We should be in pretty good shape (fingers crossed) except for the deductibles. Oh and our water heater. Gonna have to replace it probably within a month at the most.
