Or is saving money a mirage, and the fun is in the hobby?

I plan on buying the mid size 941 ORP this weekend and I really want to be sure the optic I get also will co-witness.

Can I assume any RMR or DPP optic will co-witness?

• Gun #1 HK p30, after exhaustive research and preferring the idea of hammer fired, it rose to the top of my list.

• Shot a p211 GTO... and holy shit... I know it's possibly not as reliable as a p30, but god dam it is so fun to shoot, and staying on target for quick successive shots is waaaay better than the p30

• Gun #2 Friends used VP9 that was broken, I bought for cheap and fixed (I like taking things apart and seeing how they work).. Then bought a VP9 Match slide and had it ported in order to make a "go fast gamer gun" that could also act as a bed side gun. First gun with a red dot (in the Match configuration). This is me me chasing the performance of the p211 GTO but being cheap

• Gun #3 p30sk for carry (sold the p30). Shocked how well this gun shoots... I assumed a smaller gun would have a lot more recoil, but it is nearly identical to the P30.

I went to the range on Friday and again today, directly comparing my ported VP9 Match and p30sk.. The Match is better for sure, but not nearly as good as i remember the p211 GTO at getting back on target. Also, a red dot... is well just fucking amazing.

Now I have gotten it in my head "Why not sell them both and get a carry gun with an optic, or fuck that just buy a p211, or a CZ Shadow.. or a Fusion XP Pro Comp...."

The Carry gun I have my eye on is a CZ Shadow 2 carry, or the Sig p226 xCarry. They both seem to have a lighter recoil than the p30sk (lower bore axis) and have optic cuts. They also have metal frames and i just like the idea of that. Also just getting the p30sk cut for optics is another option (and cheaper).

Yet I also sometimes think... WTF am I doing, I am throwing money away. The p30sk is great for carry, and you don't need a red dot if you ever needed to use it... most altercations are not at a range where a red dot would make the difference. Also the Vp9 Match is already a good gun, it runs every type of ammo I throw at it and it is "fast enough".

I am new to guns, got my LTC in February, but I do shoot a lot.. minimum once a week. I do also try to do training drills, not just yolo mag dump. I am already a better shooter than my buddy that has been shooting guns for over 15 years.

I really REALLY have the bug... I just want to buy every gun I see, but i don't want to waste more money because this is an expensive hobby.

Any opinion on any of the guns i spoke of.

Any opinion on the consumerism itch i am trying to fight.

Any opinion on types of training i can focus on.

Would all be appreciated :)

Oh yeah I also want to buy a S&W 460 XVR 8" because BIG GUN GO BOOM lol, fml

I do not typically carry, I became a gun person more for SHTF just in case...

I have holsters and belts to taking pistols to range day, but I have always found it cumbersome to piss or shit. I can not imagine trying to piss at a urinal in public with a gun hanging from the belt that holds up my pants... As soon as you unbuckle the weight of it is just awkward as fuck.

So yesterday I decided to try to carry all day to see how it felt (I work from home so not a huge effort).

Then at one point around mid day i was like:

"What if i just took the belt out of my pant loops and just put it direct on my body..."

It makes everything so easy...

1. I can wear athletic shorts or sweatpants
2. I took a shit and did not need to touch the gun/holster for anything

Is this well known and i am just a moron (very likely).

(I did try this topic in /r/guns but it got shadow ban?)

I started shooting late in life, but as a 54 year old I likely grew up chewing on lead paint... It was delicious 🤤

Anyway are there any simple precautions I can take to limit my lead exposure?

They sell service... Compute/database... So whoever wins the AI race will likely contract with them.

They also have a backstop because they are contracted with the federal government They are basically the backbone for all data the federal government has.

On top, they have a sane P/E...

I understand this sub is addicted to the "meme stock", but at some point do people pay any attention to fundamentals?

I checked my usage history, no one else is logged in to it... I have 2FA enabled.

Not sure what is going on over at google in the context of my account, but us anyone else having anything like this happen today?

Got my first pair back in April, I wore them daily to break them in... but as the weather got hotter i have not put them on in some time.

They basically look brand new, but i was wondering when/if I should apply some oil/wax.

Thanks

Basically if I an another "evil feature" to my IWI x95 does it make it less legal?

• Or.. is the fact it was bought in MA in January 2021 make what ever i do with it legal at this point?

• Or.. if a foregrip was added to it in February 2021 would it have become illegal even back then.

• Or.... is everything so god dam confusing... nothing matters and if i get banged up on some legal issue the DA will charge me with everything and anything they can think of?

I do not plan on doing anything to get in trouble with John LawDog... so there is that.

Sorry for all the dumb questions... but i and here watching youtube video's about customizing x95's and was just thinking:

"Too bad i can't buy a foregrip... Wait am i being dumb thinking i can't have a forgrip??"
