Your Take On The Movie “Warfare”
I think that the best book I read about the VietNam war was "The Thirteenth Valley" https://www.amazon.com/13th-Valley-John-Del-Vecchio/dp/0986195502 I recall when watching the movie Platoon wondering if it was based in part on the book. There were so many similarities. -
Living the good life :)
It seems that deer around here have learned how to cross the street without getting killed. There appear to be more deer and fewer road kills. Of course it could be that the towns and or county road departments are picking them up quicker, but I am certain that I have seen them looking for a... -

FCW20-R - A Flashaholic Get Together in NJ - May 15th-18th 2025 at Stokes State Forest.
The Leonid meteor shower is the main meteor shower event in November 2025, peaking on the morning of November 17th. On November 16, 2025, the moon phase will be a waning crescent. This means it will be a thin sliver of light in the east before dawn. The moon will be approaching the new moon...- Poppy

Recommend a flodder, please
It sounds like you want something with a rather large hot spot, but offers a good amount of throw. Considering that you already have a thrower, you might consider a headlamp for when you are walking around trying to avoid tripping. I currently sport my Sofirn D25L more often than not...- Poppy

Was I seeing double? Or was this a two headed deer on my front lawn? -
Living the good life :)
This past weekend I went to an Elks Bike Run fund raiser for Veterans. On the way we stopped at the Alternate Ending brewery where I enjoyed a bottle of "Bark All Day". It was delicious! Strong roasted coconut forward, Imperial Stout, with cacao, and vanilla. Due to covid, I lost some of my... -
What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?
I agree with him about a 3D light. I believe that 3D alkaline cells powering a LED light at 100 lumens or less can perform as well as a 3-18650 light at 100 lumens or less. If one goes to 300 lumens or more, then the 18650's take the prize every time.- Poppy

Who is buying Maglites?
I hardly ever buy flashlights anymore. A year ago my daughter and grandkids moved out of state, and I gave them some flashlights. One of them was a 2C maglite with a rechargeable 18650 battery and the maglite adapter. I bought a replacement of that for myself...- Poppy

What flashlight do you keep in your vehicle?
I currently have three lights in my car. A Sofirn SP36 for lighting large areas, and for use as a SAR light. A convoy S2+ for general purpose. And the most used light is a Sofirn D25L headlamp. It allows me to use two hands while lighting whatever I need to see.- Poppy

Modern. 380 rounds vs 9mm
Neat video. I suspect that he is firing with muscle memory, even if he could barely see the targets. I don't own a comped gun, but was just curious. My brother had a little 22 Beretta, that had terrible muzzle flash. That's what made me think that a comped gun may be as bad, or worse. -
Modern. 380 rounds vs 9mm
@SCEMan I'm curious. With a comped gun like that, if it was fired in relative darkness, would the muzzle flash be so great that you wouldn't be able to see for a second shot? -
Modern. 380 rounds vs 9mm
The US military officially adopted the 9mm Beretta M9 pistol in 1985, replacing the .45 ACP M1911A1 as its standard sidearm. This transition was primarily driven by the need for standardization with NATO allies and the logistical advantages of the smaller, lighter 9mm cartridge, which allowed...
