Fatwa Arbuckle: Misanthropologist

Bonjour, Wheelizens!

Good morning, GN. Wednesday, huh? As Kid Rock sang: Wednesday ain’t for sh*t. Even though I can look forward to another day at teh bestest placer ever!, I’m still having trouble getting a move on. Odd.

Happy Let’s get over this Hump Day, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Fatwa, and Sven!

Mac -- well played, sir!

I see that Paul Ryan will be retiring in January. Maybe we can get an actual conservative as Speaker. Maybe I’ll win the lottery and Fatwa will finally start getting those checks from ZOG.

Hai, Sven and Paddy!

Maybe I’ll win the lottery and Fatwa will finally start getting those checks from ZOG.

Wait a minute…you’re with ZOG, Paddy? Dayum…that’s some deep cover, sir. Oh, wait…nevermind. 😉

So, I got one of these today:

BestestWifeEvarK knows I almost never buy anything for myself. (I don’t even buy new underwear until they’ve reached the “point and laugh at Fatwa” stage.)

So for my birfday, she gifted me with the list price of an S&W .38+P J-frame I’ve had my eye on for a while. (Was planning to add aftermarket Crimson Trace grips at some point after acquiring it. For additional deterrent effect; was not going to be using the laser for training.)

However, I found this newish model, ponied up the modest difference (as I got a very fair price from the dealer, too) and picked it up this morning.

Still won’t be training with the laser, though. 😉

I’ll be “auditioning” pocket holsters next.

Very nice! It would be interesting to hold on target, then turn on the laser to see how one’s sight picture and laser corresponded.

Fatwa Arbuckle: Misanthropologist

Done that already; seems to be factory set pretty well. (Or it’s off by just as much as I am using the sights.)

It’s adjustable in-place with an included hex key, if need be.

Also have some snap caps; the trigger pull is smooth and about what I expected from shooting similar revolvers.

Looking forward to some range time next week to start training with it.

Shooting butt forward -- not as easy as it looks.

Fatwa Arbuckle: Misanthropologist

Hai, Mac!

Cheers for all that.

I’ve always had a bit of an issue pulling to the right with small revolvers; the laser will be helpful there. (I’m a southpaw and shoot handguns that way; long guns feel more comfy right-handed; fortunately, I’m comfortable using either eye as appropriate.)

Now see what you did!

Oh, it’s awful…just terrible! 🙂

Mac --

BrendaK had cataracts in both eyes removed a few years back. She said to tell you it was quick, simple, very little post-op discomfort…just a little bit of haloing for a while.

And that you will be very glad when you get them removed.

Very nice, Fatwa. And VERY nice of Ms. Brenda -- hey, maybe now you know where the ZOG checks are going!
