The post whore thread.

On the plus side, I finally got to use my new Bravo Concealment DOS holster and all I have to say is WOW! Not sure if its the location, but it truly does make the pistol disappear! At first I just tried it with a slightly small dark t-shirt and even I couldn't tell that I was carrying.

Sitting down is a little uncomfortable, but I might just need to move the holster slightly left/right on my belt. But with how comfortable and easy to conceal it is compared to my Crossbreed Supertucks (with glock 23), I'll actually enjoy carrying and won't be so worried about printing!

The end result is that Mark asked to buy it back. A couple other folks there also offered to buy it to put it in their personal inventories as well.

So, what was the outcome though? Was the rifle really shooting off due to a hardware issue, or was it just ammo? I guess I could understand Mark wanting to buy it back, but how does that do you any good if it's your only rifle (though I know it isn't) and you'd have to wait 1yr or more for a new one. He should have taken you to the assembly line and let you pick out a brand new shiny one [LOL]

And by shiny, I mean tactically shiny... not bling bling shiny.

My new position will be to create all the hardware between the telescope and the instrument, then train the chilean observers/day-staff on everything I designed in addition to daily maintenance of the instrument, then to work side by side with the instrument designer to build the instrument (assuming we get the funds, which its looking promising), then installing the new instrument at the new telescope and spending 6mo getting first light and going through commissioning.

It's just extremely frustrating! Give me a signed letter of offer for the new position and I'll happily submit my letter of resignation/intent and start working on the new project ASAP.

The outcome is a sub-MOA rifle. I've signed a confidentiality/non-disclosure agreement, so the rest of it is something that I'm going to keep hush hush about.

Well hush hush is perfectly acceptable as long as the problem got resolved! Glad they helped you out and you're happy with it now!

So, any idea when you get your second larue? Is it still on backorder?

I'm glad they eventually worked it out with you, Belly.

I hope your other personal issue a few nights back got resolved as well.

BC, bummer on the job jam you're in right now. I hope that stuff gets ironed out pretty darn quick too.

How's your knee doing?

Oh, and I'm glad you're digging the holster you've been waiting on for a long time is working out to your liking.

I had my final visit today with both the PT guy and the surgeon. Everybody's happy with the progress thus far.

I just have to keep doing my recommended therapy, and in "about" three more months I can start messing with heavier objects. 50 lb rotors and 80 lb tire/wheels...crap like that.
