Post by: Big Frank on October 04, 2016, 10:10:02 PM: I don't know but another forum I'm on has people who've been lurking for 10 years and never posted or they post once every 5 years. I guess they don't have anything to contribute but that's never stopped me. ;)

Post by: GASPASSERDELUXE on October 05, 2016, 12:21:42 PM: I feel like you are talking about about me. I don't mind.I'm with Majer. Even with my wife I very seldom have much to say. I'm a very private person in that I don't socoialize with anybody. If I can put in on some technical point which I know about I will but on all these political I just stay quiet.

Yep that's the people I had in mind. They probably have a lot to add but they don't join in. Heck, at least vote in my polls.... I wonder if they have something clandestine going on with email within the system to hide something??? Hmmm?

I'm not moderator material. I've read some of your posts and know you're not one of the lurkers I was talking about. Some of these guys never post. At least not in the parts of the forum I read.

With all the issues that have taken USSA down a few notches I'm not surprised Erik doesn't show up, especially with that moniker. I think Marshall might want to clean up some of the moderator info from time to time.

Michael Janich used to join in every now and then. I'd like to take a class with him some day...maybe some day after I'm finished paying these insane tuition bills.

We're pretty much left to our own here. I check out the logged on list at the bottom of the page and there are people who log on and never post. Lot's of guys out there logged on who have been member for years without a single post. Now that's OK, but I was just trying to give a little encouragement to to get them to chime in from time to time....

I am chuckling at this one. I don't know if it is Latino or just Mexican, but at work I get called Mr. Mike by almost everyone, and they are mostly from Mexico, and when I'm delivering many of our customers call me Mr. Mike. They don't do it to each other, but that is how they address this fat old white guy.

If you carry IWB then your pants protect the trigger.

Post by: Solus on October 15, 2016, 01:49:48 PM: Used one on a Glock 23 and an LCP.

Was very uncomfortable with the Glock using it...Trigger is larger and even with the safety lever, clothing might work into it.

Felt better with the LCP. A bit smaller opening for the trigger and the heavier pull was less likely to be manipulated. Stopped using it because it was a pain to draw...compared to my EDC of the 23 in a Crossbreed IWB.

In a jacket pocket, the LCP (I carry both the LCP and the 23) is likely to be the first responder in a surprise attack...my had will be on it.
