You have a longer fuse than I do Pieter. This thread has made me realize I am preaching to the wrong choir. This forum is dominated by older men, many of which don't even seem to carry a serious defensive firearm. I am thinking they are not receptive to learning and offer even less in terms of...

Afraid we are wasting our breath Pieter. They are content to be slobs and they don't care who knows it. Sigh. They don't get it. I am starting to realize I have nothing to offer those that refuse to learn. Which makes posting here pointless.

The tactical edge I was referring to is never wearing flip flops or crocs and skinny jeans that hinder your movement, things like that. Another edge is not looking like a hobo when the police arrive. I am just trying to give you some good advice that is obviously not going to be taken in the...

Accept the title or don't Old Grunt, but we are. I was just pointing out a fact.

My standards are the common standards. I am just saying, if you dress/look like that, you lose a tactical edge. I try and have every edge I can. If you want to ignore that, well, good luck.

Exactly, we are the under the radar guys that save the day. Anything you do that is out of the ordinary takes away your tactical advantage. Don't sport a beard that attracts attention. Clean up! Don't be a dummy.

Really? Tactical Flip Flop? The word on the street in my town is "Flip Flops are victim shoes". Please dont be that guy.

We are all Ambassadors for the Second Amendment. Dress like it. Still waiting for anyone to come up with a tactical reason to have an unkept beard and a T shirt. Is it a signal to every woman you meet you are not interested? And to flip the coin, is is a signal for Homosexual sex? Look I am...

Doc Holiday Period. Love it. Why are we all not in our Doc Holiday Period. Still looking for reasons to look like a slob. Where is the tactical advantage?

Pieter, as usual, you are on point. Dressing up is such a simple thing. I simply don't understand why Men don't do it. The benefits SO outweigh the negatives. Look I am not saying wear a suit. I am saying wear a shirt with a collar and hopefully some upscale pants. Who are you trying to impress...

I used to date a nurse on the night shift back in the day. I would swing by after work and we would have dinner together. I was a suit and tie guy back then. Got to slinging a stethoscope around my neck and NOBODY ever asked any questions as I wandered around. They just assumed I was someone...

And don't forget the strength of the design. Back in the Early Days when guys were trying to make the 9mm make Major in competition, the CZ design was the only design that was strong enough for the task...

While I am a 1911 man, and freely admit in the 90's a Springfield Armory knocked Colt of my hip, the S&W 4516 did woo me away for a while. Double action makes sense to me, and does not scare girlfriends like a cocked and locked 45. You have to play to the crowd sometimes. Not anymore since I am...

I do hate having everything tucked away in a safe. Having a wall like that, well, to my eyes that would be like taking a trip to an art museum every day. I would worry about security, but should I? I have an alarm on the house. I am retired so I am around most of the time. My neighbors are...

I mentioned the 1100, but it is not my choice. I know, I know. I am old. But I have a brace of Winchester 97's cut to twenty inches. Takedown, so they fit in my luggage and can easily be re-assembled at the Hotel when traveling. Slicked up by Floyd Wine, sadly passed, a gunsmith for Brownells...
