I built a trauma kit for my truck after watching a drugged up guy in a brodozer run over the front of a small suv smashing the dash into the legs of the passenger. It was right in front of a hospital and a first responder was gloving up and climbing in the driver side as I was trying to use a old towel I had grabbed from my truck to stop an arterial bleed. She didn’t have anything with her and the towel was it until EMTs arrived. I was involved with scouts at that time and decided I needed to be better prepared for a trauma type situation.


I got a small tactical pouch and added:

1x CAT tourniquet
2x Israeli compression bandage
1x Halo chest seal
2x 5x5 gauze
2x packing gauze
2x gauze wrap
2x sets nitrile gloves
1x Coban wrap
1x emt shears


This separate from a basic IFAK also kept in the truck.

This is really impressive and I’m going to copy you. I was a witness to a horrible  crash that became the subject of a major lawsuit a few years later and the first person to arrive and render aid to the victims (one died, the other probably wishes they had). As I ran up to the truck, empty handed, I realized that I had no plan and nothing to offer other than a limited capacity to keep the area clear until actual help arrived. I don’t want to be in that situation again.

Classic Car thread out front is likely what he’s referencing.

Cross posting this for @Party_Taco because this is fucking awesome:

Was there ever an oem 16.5” threaded tapered 10/22 barrel that DID have dovetails for sights? Or a reasonably priced aftermarket one?

High probability someone like Midway has them in a replacement barrel option.

My grandpa was a crack shot too. 
When rheumatic fever caused him to be bed-ridden for a whole year in the late 1890s, his dad gave him a .22 rifle to target shoot out his bedroom window.
He became quite proficient, but did get a month time out after his parents came home on their wagon from shopping in town and caught him shooting tin cans off his sister’s head. 
In his teen years he was banned from the carnival shooting galleries whenever they came to his county periodically because the barkers quickly learned that gangly kid would clean them out of prizes.

Anyway, here he is with his last .22 - a Reminigton semiauto that was chambered for shorts only. Lots of squirrels were put on the dinner table:

Nice photo, nice hat, and a nifty Remington (probably a Model 24) from back in the day when those gunmakers took a great deal of pride in their walnut and steel products.  Looks like they’re having a good time, too!

Top ten selling handguns for 2024:

Why would the G43 be up there instead of the 43X? It’s annoying that Glock won’t put a 15 round mag in that frame. Palmetto State and Shield arms have figured it out.

They can’t unless they change their methodology.

You can get one from shield but then you need to change the release.

10 is enough anyway.

They sell more 43’s btw

I keep waffling on trading the 43 or a 43x/48 but I don’t know why. I know most would say just buy it but why do I need two of the same lol

43x mos gets you a rail for a light (don’t do that) and optics capability (who cares on that gun).

Save up and get a 2011

Hayes, Cardinal, rc9, atlas, etc.

No interest in that platform. Possibly interested on a dot 43/43x/48 just so that it matches my 17.

Get something like this and just move your slide from the 43 to the equivalent of a 43X with more magazine capacity when you want it.

looks like the combo deal with 2 mags for $100 is out of stock but if you poke around the site you can get a fully assembled frame in whatever crazy color you want and grab some 15 round mags separately.

Form 4s apparently running 2 weeks now for a trust. 

I bought a 22 can about a month ago. Paid for it in the store on a Friday. Paperwork was docusigned and submitted the following Tuesday. Approved on Friday and picked up can.  So 3 day approval. 7 day total wait from the time I walked into the gun store. This was with a trust and done through the silencer shop platform.

I don’t want you to misconstrue this or possibly take it the wrong way, but I’d like to have sexual relations with that pistol. Love it.

I shot my dad’s mk1 and mk3 (?) occasionally and I always end up wondering why I don’t go buy a bull barrel threaded model like that.
