Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

If you like the pistol that is Ll that matters.

My buddy is buying an XD in .40

I myself don't even see a point in calibre outside of .45 and 9mm as a primary/first pistol. But if you get it for dirt cheep and you like it, it's all good.

As long as the projectile can pass the FBI test through a few layers of denim, its an ok choice.

I checked out the XD 40, they were 550$ plus tax and I just didn't want to spend that much, but I will take it into consideration for a 2nd handgun.

Payed 400$ for a used S&W bodyguard 38 special with a beam on it. It was in very good shape, looked new actually. The place where I bought it has to do a background check, and then I can pick it up on march 10th. Figured the bullets aren't really expensive, it's not to small of a bullet, I could carry it with me, use for home defense and take it to the range. Do you guys think it will be a good 1st gun? And if it was a descent price.

 

Being that you live on California that is probably a decent deal. Do you know the model #?

 

Nothing wrong with a 38 special, just make sure you like the fit, feel, and look.

I had a 38 Taurus fire off on me when dropped blew a chunk out of my left calf muscle..Was a hollow point lucky it missed my arteries..
It wouldn't surprise me if you were drinking

Honestly I was...critter was getting in the garbage and I slipped on the back deck of my old house when it was raining with the hammer cocked smile.png

Sound like you need to ease of the alcohol bro, at least you weren't seriously hurt and didn't get shot in that special spot lol :)

The SCAR is nice.

I like Stoner Based rifles more, but it's a nice feeling gun.

Nothing wrong with having a few beers or getting a buzz, but it can be taken to far.

I do also, but the cost of a scar is sweet on our side and I must have one for shows.

anyone have advice on what kind of cookware to use with those glasstop electric stoves? 

 

i grabbed some cheapo's from wally world when I moved in with the intention of buying better stuff later.

Depends on what you are cooking. Anything that is no stick or teflon coated should be thrown in the garbage. Not useful for any kind of cooking.

 

 

I'm a pretty shit cook but thats mostly due to lack of experience. Just want to get a few decent pans, a knife, and speed more time cooking rather than heating cans of soup in the microwave lol.

 

what do you cook or want to cook? That somewhat determines the pan.

Mostly I'd still figure out what you need and then shop Homegoods/TJ Maxx places for bargains. As a general rule I think All Clad from there is usually a reasonable thing to think about buying.

 

 

i'll have to do some thinking about that. figured i'd start with the basics. Fry pan, sauce pan, maybe a wok for stir fry. 

 

What would be the best way to cook a steak? Sear then throw it in the oven?

 

Steak needs REALLY high heat and then not so much heat. Can do the opposite as well. Either a grill or stove top for the hot part and either a grill or oven for the low part. Make sure whatever pans you buy can go from stovetop to oven otherwise I would say that is also a useless pan.

 

 

i was thinking about using a caste iron pan for just the oven part if i cant find something that can do both.
