The Glade 4.0

If you're gonna stay 9mm, that puts the 1911's out. They're .45s

They do make 1911 configs for 9mm. Not really a 1911 I know but they are out there.

Really? I haven't noticed that.


The .357 revolver will fire a .38 round. As I stated before, this combo offers range time firing cheap .38s and the BOOM of .357 magnum when that's wanted/required. No need for two different guns.


I find myself in the same position when I make valuations based on emotions/feelings as opposed to having logical reasoning behind my choices. If I have actual reasons to make a valuation a certain way, then if I change my position, I can point to the reasons I had to make the decision initially and the reasons for the change.

He came around to your way of thinking and you still couldn't resist being a $#%$@# about it. Congrats.

Exactly who is being a dick about it?

How is anyone being a "$#%$@#"? Or is it that you just couldn't resist getting your two cents in on a topic you have no worthwhile input to offer?

I didn't take it as dickish. I have no rational explanation for my dislike of guns nor for my current stance of wanting one and it is something I have been trying to figure out for at least the past two months.

Want a sociological explanation? Economic uncertainty, perhaps a perception of a rising crime rate in your area, and a vague sense of being demasculated (in a societal sense - witness Nitefox's criticism of how white American males are portrayed in popular culture) has led you to want some control over your life. A pistol - on the bedstand, concealed, whatever - can provide that feeling. Oh, and you're probably about to hit 30, right? That might contribute to this feeling, too.

Either that, or you just like to make big booming sounds, like many males (self included).

Do you still dislike them? That would be hard to rationalize.




Thought so.

Keep typing Vindicarre. Really. You couldn't prove my point better if you tried.

Vindi, you have a long record of being antagonistic just because you can. I''d say you can't blame someone from reading something nontextual into your posts based on past performance, but of course, you can.

And yet, no actual rationale for your comment. Keep up the mind reading, it's as effective as ever.


I have no doubt that you feel that way, just as I'm sure you feel that you are above such an accusation yourself. Perhaps this is another in your history of giving unsolicited "fatherly" advice? I'd say that I can blame someone for reading something into and commenting on a post when they have no legitimate reason for doing so, then again, I am not a defender of using confirmation bias as a replacement for logical discourse. YMMV.
Could it be that someone who has made a career on this board of making inimical, unsubstantiated remarks commenting on what they perceive as my being a "$#%$@#" (to someone else, who doesn't agree with that assessment no less), might be the one who is being antagonistic? How about doing so in a thread where they have absolutely nothing of substance to offer and have proven so? Might it be best not to jump in with both feet when one has no reason to? As you point out, or course, one can.

I suggest you two meet on the field. Pistols at 10 paces, dawn.

But what kind of pistols??

Well Vindi, that wasn't me trying to give fatherly advice. I know you wouldn't take it when given in the best of times. This is Hellfire, it was a pretty direct jab at your tendency to be a jerk as often as you can.

Or, at least that is how I see your posting habits. Others mileage may vary.

Ayup, usually I limit my advice-taking to those who have shown acumen in the areas I am seeking their counsel, just makes sense. As to the other, I tend to respond in kind but once again, relying on findings based on confirmation bias tends to skew the results.

Leave the weapon behind. Bare knuckles.

Heheh, nobody used the "He threatened me with physical violence!!1!1!!" tripe. At least we were able to wear our big boy pants in that regard.
