Glock 21 45 cal

 

That is a big hunk of steel to lug around. What holster / belt combo do you use?

Same here. My shield can be concealed with my 511 pants and polo I wear for work. Mostly. If I bend over, it may show a bit. I use no holster and a normal Carhartt leather belt

Thankfully most of the population is oblivious. Also you're lucky and live in an actual OC state. I need to start wearing pants again so I can go back to CC'n my wheelies.

Not a new carry gun but I bought my fiance a LWRC DI with a Geissele SSA-E for christmas. Also for you range guys check out the Gun Case 4 gun range backpack. Very sweet setup.

Glock 19 most of the time

Glock 42 a little bit

Glock 22 at work

Glock 34 in competition

 

I might be a little biased.

 

 

you should try out a Glock

I like my G32 but my next hope/dream is a VP9 subcompact. Love the full size but it's just a tiny bit too big to carry. The HK trigger blows Glock away.

I have several guns but don't carry. I don't feel the need to. I support the rights of anyone who does though. Please tell me why you carry? Is it based on crime in your area or your job?

I didn't carry til I started my business and usually have a bank bag with cash.

I carry for the sheer fact that you never know when your life could be put in jeopardy from some psychopath. Have and not need rather than need and not have as the old saying goes

Basically, I want to maximize the potential that I live a nice long life, I'm not gonna let some thug take any of the time off of my clock. Equally important is I have a family who depends on me to be there for them I'm certainly not going to not come home to them every night if I can help it. I carry for the same reason I wear a seat belt.

Living in central illinois in the sticks there is very little crime. I do have a shotgun and handgun loaded at the house and usually take a gun on vacation when driving

Crime is a relative term... there's no way to know if you're gonna be the statistic... believe me, I'm an engineer so probability is always in the forefront of my mind... I debated life insurance until I had kids... but it comes down to being prepared and controlling what you can (or at least attempt to) control.

 

Everything I've read about self protection talks about "a high percentage of carry"... meaning, you increase your probability of being "prepared" by carrying at a high percentage... makes sense. But carrying is only part of it. You still need to be trained... and even then you may not be ready.

True. You also must be willing to kill which if I or my family were threatened I would do it without regret. I believe for myself being raised around guns, hunting and shooting for the last 40 plus years has prepared me more than the 16 hour cc course required in my state

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
