The Vomlet was an MRE issued c. 2008ish, called the Vegetarian Omlet. It is widely though of as the worst MRE.

If you don’t live in AmeriKKKa, you may have a local practical shooting competition or IPSC chapter, shooting with one of these organizations will build real skills.

If you live in AmeriKKKa, I can provide an overview of armed self defense and civilian gun ownership if that’s your intent.

Lucky Gunner has some videos on basic firearm handling

Tenicor (CW police, occaisional misogyny) also has lots of info on self defense and shooting technique that works.

Tacticool Girlfriend’s first videos are also a useful beginner resource.

What about the demon kid that kills his family because he’s a demon?

Nazis are evil because they are a product of material relations that rewards evil behavior. Nazis may be only be permanently destroyed by the elimination of these material relations. Nazis are not born Nazis.

Frieren’s demons are evil because of inherent physical/racial traits. The only solution for our German heros is to kill every demon they see. Even demon children are valid targets for elimination. The demons are clearly an insidious, everpresent threat as Frieren has been on a crusade against them for multiple human lifetimes.

Nah, the demons are just people in every way except for the ontological evil, and our main hero is on a crusade against them that has gone on for her while life

I really can’t say enough good things about the Enigma, it’s surprisingly flexible and makes carrying low enough effort that I can devote my energy elsewhere and get on with my life instead of worrying about my shirt material or reaching too high.

The regular 43’s capacity is definitely it’s worst aspect, Shield Arms and Magguts make magazines/follower assemblys respectively that increase the capacity to 9+1 or 8+1. Shield Arms also makes 15 round mags for the 43x although 43x and 43 mags are incompatible.

It’s also worth mentioning that the 43 needs to be milled for an optic, adding an extra $100 to it’s price tag.

The S&W Shield Plus Optics Ready is between the two in size, has a better trigger than the Glock, and has 10+1 capacity.

I find that optics do not negatively impact concealment at all. They actually kind of smooth things out if that makes sense, helping to round out the top of the slide and filling in the drop between the slide and the top edge of the holster/inner Enigma belt.

Something like a Holosun EPS Carry is only about 60% larger than a sugar cube for reference, the RMSc/Holosun K footprint CC optics are smaller than full sized ones.

Vortex Defender CCW ($250) and Swampfox Sentinel ($50!) are some cheap options for CC optics, but you can find a used EPS Carry on TacSwap or eBay for $280 if you look for a couple weeks.

Love the moleskin on my Enigma, I put it on the body side as well

Not OP, the Enigma Express comes with a holster and the Enigma OS you provide your own. I use the Express for the P365 and G43, the PHLster holster is really nice, cheap and has everything I’m looking for.

Enigma is the only choice for clothes-independant AIWB. Check out Tessa Booth for examples and Deep Carry theory.

The Mete should be good, just make sure whichever one you pick fits. The Prime is roughly the size of a Glock 43x MOS which is the sweet spot for many people. I find the G43 conceals better (MC9 size).

Fits as in, there is room for your support hand on the grip between your strong hand fingers and strong hand heel, and the trigger reach isn’t too much or too little. If you are gripping your fingers or cranking down on your strong hand you won’t be able to hit anything or recover consistantly between shots. Joel Park explains this well. Many gun counter workers think that fit is how good a gun feels in your hand, this does not affect how it will shoot.

Tenicor and Joel Park are excellent resources for shooting technique, they promote a progressive style that is easy to learn and apply and gets results.

If you don’t already plan to get one, an optic will increase your functional ability by a lot compared to iron sights.

Hornady Critical Defense 124gr +P and Federal HST ammo was found to be the best by probably the most comprehensive and scientific study of handgun ballistics ever, the one the FBI did in the 90s/2000s.

It’s to push the grip of the gun into your lower abdomen, using your belt as a fulcrum. This reduces printing with traditional AIWB.

Does Inox just mean stainless?

NO WAY

Liking them isn’t super relevant

Very important thing that consumerist capitalist gun culture fails to promote, it seems most online discussion is around guns as sports equipment or range toys as opposed to practical tools and this creates confusion about what’s important when one has no practical experience.

A debate I have been having is: Is it better for a new shooter to purchase a gun that makes them want to shoot it and train, even if it’s less practical than the good ole Glock? I feel like it’s case by case…

The intent of this post is to promote new information that has become more widespread as the gun community grows as well as my own experience.

If it’s an option in your area, it’s well worth it to go to a 'rent and shoot ’ range to try several firearms. What works well for one individual’s hands and body may be very different for another. Also with handling options at a reputable local store or the firearms dept of a local big chain like Sportsman’s Warehouse or Cabela’s.

Brand new or first time shooters should factor their own lack of experience or frame of reference into these decisions, how a gun “feels in the hand” is usually used to upsell newcomers.

FBI penetration guidelines which aren’t a terrible metric to reference in that regard, but I wouldn’t completely disregard the caliber based solely on that.

The FBI’s testing was the best done on handguns ever, and was extremely comprehensive, involving barrier and bone structure elements as well as penetration. The main finding was that the bullet used in Hornady Critical Duty +P (FTX) and Federal HST +P ammunition was more important than the caliber as long as that caliber developed adequate velocity, with more velocity being preferable. Calibers that are on the edge under test conditions like .380 are likely to be ineffective under real, and the FBI adopted 9mm after .40 and 10mm based on a huge body of data. Multiple, accurate hits to the nervous or circulatory system are needed to quickly and reliably force a break in contact because handgun rounds are ballistically far inferior to rifle rounds.

Finally, if you decide on a handgun to purchase, practice at what’s reasonable for the application (target size and distance, adult torso silhouette at 5-10 yds for most concealed carry applications)

Training to this standard will likely be inadequate for a defensive encounter. If your best day at the range with no combat stress reactions looks like peppering someone with a few nonlethal wounds, an actual violent encounter will go much worse. Look at all the videos of pigs magdumping people and whiffing half their rounds while they are rushed down. Statistically, they miss most of their shots and do not kill or disable most of the people they shoot one-on one. They get a full size gun and an OWB holster too! The lesson that should be taken from this is that the police marksmanship standards are completely inadequate for a single civilian with no backup to rely on.

Bullet type (round nose vs hollow point or similar) can be a polarizing topic with some folks (often prosecutors) portraying the use of hollow points as being intent to murder, but they plainly cause more damage on soft tissue.

If you don’t live in New Jersey, carry hollow points. They are night and day different from FMJ and evidence to support the commonly cited hypothetical has not been presented in all the many years it has been brought up on the internet.

Have shot all, would conceal the 43x MOS all day. The optics-ready S&W Shield Plus for extra large hands and the P365 for very small hands. I personally don’t “feel” guns as I’m shooting them, I look for adequate space for my support hand and proper trigger reach, the rest doesn’t matter as far as fit goes.
