Recent expenses have put an RPR with that 3-15x50 y'all recommend on the back burner for a few months. But I now have a S&W Shield in 9mm that I got for $400

You overpaid by about $100 compared to what was happening last month. But don't feel bad, I did too because I bought a month before prices went whatever the opposite of ballistic is.

I don't feel bad for overpaying, its the local shop & range that I've been going to since I was a kid. They're just about the only one close by. Anyone else who's had a shield, did the slide release need a while to break in? So far its been a bitch, too flush to get any leverage on it and its under enough tension that I've needed both hands to depress it. Really hoping its just because its new

It's not a slide release, it's a slide lock. You're not supposed to do it that way (which is dumb, I think).

Well it definitely didn't want to release just by racking it, which is what the user manual says. The user manual is really lovely

Nope, I understood that much from the manual. 72 rounds and a cleaning (and day two) and it now isn't a pain in the rear end if I leave it open and clear on the bench between cease fires

Tiny guns have tighter tolerances for proper function, and they probably are using the same QA/QC standards as their full size pistols. I would not be surprised if it needs a little break in.

I have an M&P compact and the slide lock is somewhat hard to manipulate if you're using it wrong to drop the slide. Just slingshot it.

Does that even work? I know you can suppress a Nagant revolver due to it's weird chamber-cylinder sealing mechanism but I wasn't aware of any other revolvers that do.

No clue, but I've played around with that particular little revolver. Not sure what it's called, but it doesn't have a swing gate or anything. To load/unload it you've gotta pull the cylinder rod out, then pull the entire cylinder out. It seemed to fit relatively tightly.

The only one from that last batch that I was really a dick on is the sun facing side of the Corona Arch. There were some Euro tourists there, so I went all the way up and put Waldo at the base of the arch, on the left side of the photo. Can't even really make it out due to the distance, just looks like a crack in the rock. That was more from not wanting to freak out the Euros than actively being a dick though.

I normally try not to go on e/n benders, but this one is comical enough that I'll let it slide. A couple months ago, I started talking to this woman from a dating site. She seems like a total catch. Smart, cute, outdoorsy as hell (does 14ers all over the place for fun), and doesn't want kids. After a few days of talking, we decide to go hiking for the first date. I picked a spot called Vedauwoo that I had been to several times before, but that she hadn't. The area is known for its large rock formations and fun rock scrambling in general. Here's some pics to give you an idea. (Not taken that day - as incompetent as I am, even I know that bringing Waldo on a first date is a bad idea.)   So, she drives up from Denver, we meet and carpool there. When we arrived, there was still some snow on the ground that I hadn't anticipated. The rock formations themselves looked clear, just most of the ground still had an inch or two on it. We started hiking and scrambling up one of the larger rock formations. After we hit the top and were starting to come back down, she slipped on a patch of clear ice in some shadows, fell 15 feet and broke her ankle. I had to carry her out over a mile. 640 feet of it was that nasty downhill rock scrambling type terrain that would normally be fun to traverse on a hike. Having to carry someone added a huge layer of complexity. I had to pick her up, move her downhill to the next rock ledge, set her down, run ahead and scout the route down, repeat until we hit the base of the rock formation. By then we had run into some other couple who thankfully helped us out by carrying our packs, and I piggybacked her from there. This whole time I was really impressed with her because she kept a cool head and didn't lose her poo poo once. Once back at the parking lot, drove straight to the ER in Laramie. They did X-rays and said it was a solid bi-malleolus fracture. Drove back to CO, got one of my brothers to help out by driving her car back to Denver for her while I drove her back in my car. (It was her right ankle, and she drove a manual anyways.) She said that her parents drove over from a neighboring state to pick her up and take care of her for the recovery period. She was fine with me sending flowers before the surgery. After the surgery, she said that the fracture was worse than the X-rays had showed, and her recovery time would be longer than expected. Oh, and that she wasn't feeling a connection and didn't see us dating. She said she was fine with being friends, but comms dribbled out anyways. So who knows. She said she didn't blame me at all for what happened and that she was very thankful for what I did, but I can't help but feel bad. She would have been much better off had we never started talking to begin with.
