Good morning guys.
Good morning, Chip.  Betcha didn't think you'd already see a page of posts.  Although you probably thought there'd be a jam.  Sheesh.
You guys need to see if you can work at Natives company, it sounds like his guys have it pretty easy and I bet they don't work at night.
It is a nice computer gig but we have had a nationwide firing freeze for almost a year and probably last at least thru June or longer.  We got one that will retire in a couple of years but I doubt they will replace him.  For Tony OR Raz it would take either one of them about 30 minutes per day to replace both of those ass clowns and do 10 times more.  Very rare night work and you get comp time.
Bonus! More time to banter! Do we have to move to Texas? Always said I wouldn't, but I'm getting a little sick of the commies up here.

Question is whether Tony could handle living in Texas...
Just read in Nat. Geographic that Portland is the one city that voted against fluridating it's water, because people don't want chemicals in it....also one of the highest anti-vacc states.  Commies for sure.
Commies, hell. Folks are just plain looney down there.
The Headquarters for the anti-vaccine group is right here in Commie Austin.

In the end, I bowed to the Wisdom of Tex.

.
Now I got to wait to hear the story because I am surprised, but those Commie Austrians make good guns. :)
Not much of a story. The deal was better on the Glock than the Springfield, the ergonomics of the Springfield were not sufficiently better than the Glock to sway me, they didn't have the Springfield package I wanted, and the ubiquity of Glock means cheaper and more plentiful aftermarket accessories. It was a bang for buck decision.

The simpler manual of arms for the Glock also appealed for the sake of the warden. It's a weapon she can just point and shoot. That means a greater chance she'll kill me outright, rather than wounding or disabling me.

Also, the Croats who manufacture the XD's are more commie than the Austrians.

Morning, mucha-I mean, young men.
Very important consideration!  Did you look at the FNS?
I did. And I decided I like the look and feel of the FNS. But the Glock was still $60 cheaper, and I actually have some shooting time with Glocks.
Price definite deciding point.
Here's a proper comparison...
My youngest with my FNS and his brothers Glock....(almost got us thrown off the range, but he enjoyed it.)

He could do it, it would mean instead of enchilada sauce the burritos would have to be served ala parmigiana,
and you take the soft tacos, and you dip them in an egg batter then lightly fry them like mozzarella en carozza.
But he does like cream cheese taquitos and we do have those at every 7-11.

Finishing up today on the devil, Hairy Dog churchill box at $37 and Fighting Cock Toro box at $22
That's a great price on the Dogs, good bidding.
Figured I'd give you something to watch while at work.   :D
I see they now have some lots that are quick buy only, don't remember seeing that before, without the option to bid.

Yeah, you don't want her to start thinking before popping you. :)

Yep lots of goodies!  Put some quality night sights on it first though.  Amazon has some good deals on Tru Glo's.   Also you can use an X Grip adapter and use higher capacity G22 magazines in there perfectly.  FYI if you did not know it the magazines for 22/23's are interchangeable with those for 31/32's.  Also you can buy a G32 barrel and swap it out in about 3 minutes to shoot .357 Sigs.
It is a G22 so doesn't need the extenders. And the ability to switch out to .357 Sig also factored in to my decision.

I still like the 23, compact without making me dangle fingers. So when I've recovered from this purchase I'm inclined to get a 23 to be the warden's gun.

i think they may have had them, but a recent change has them showing up in the lots closing today sorted by lowest current bid, on top.

I thought it was a 23.    Glock makes a 30 round mag also that is fun to use sometimes.  By the way as with most guns aftermarket magazines are not a good alternative.

it's the cold weather, the battery won't turn the engine over when it's below 65 degrees.
