i meant to post this yesterday but got home from work too late. their webpage moved to facebook. that said, i picked up 1000 rounds of 9mm pmc bronze. hey, it was on sale…

we stopped by the wilderness the other day to pick up an instructor belt. their belts are considered by many to be the best tactical belts around, and the factory is literally right around the corner from me. the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, and made sure the belt i purchased had the features and fit that suited my needs. in fact, they didn’t have my size in the model i wanted – original with 5 stitch – so they made one up in the factory while i waited. coincidentally, it just happened to be on sale too.

one reason i needed a new belt was the new high noon holster i got for my s&w m&p9c a while back. i ended up going with the skin tite model as it fits my needs for a holster that sits high and close to my body. it’s still a little tight, but it should loosen up with time.

it’s my birthday today. i like to tell myself that my birthday is so important, they decided to also make today earth day. in any event, my hubby took the above pic at the range this morning. i’m sporting my pink radians electronic ear muffs, and about to fire my s&w m&p9c. apparently, the m&p prefers the more expensive pmc bronze ammo that i picked up a few weeks ago. 150 rounds without a hitch, unlike the winchester white box ammo from walmart which caused a few failures to extract.

after the range, we stopped off for some shopping – i picked up a few tops on sale, and then off to lunch. stopped at best buy and picked up the first season of six feet under, which turned out to be on sale at half price. the rest of today, still in the planning stage.

my new maxpedition active shooter bag. i’m using it as a purse. it holds all the essentials, including knife, flashlight, cell phone, tactical pen, concealed handgun, oh, and it also holds my wallet. there’s many accessories that you can buy that fit into the 2 main areas to help organize your stuff, and it also has outside webbing for attaching additional accessories. another great feature is the waist strap, that provides a second attachment point to your body, beside the shoulder strap. it helps keep the bag in place during active movement, or in case someone tries to snatch it.

since the schrade tactical pen came highly recommended, i thought i’d give one a try. in pink. along with a pink leek kershaw tactical knife. notice how no one bothers to match the different shades of pink.

update: i emailed this picture to daily gun pictures, a blog that posts pictures and videos of all kinds of weapons on a daily basis, and it was posted! i’m famous

went out tonight to a local pub, testing out our new look.

my vampire scope for today. it’s like a horoscope, only for vampires. or halloween. or something. via alloy.

we finished up one complete costume for halloween today after work, hooded full length robe along with skulled staff. it’s been a while since i’ve used a sewing machine, but it seemed (no pun intended) to come together fairly well. we used black denim as the material for the robe, which hangs quite well, and ought to keep us warm on those chilly romps through the moonlight. tomorrow, we’ll start on the second hooded robe.

the hubby and i really like this logo from the patch that david james as colonel kobus venter wears on his arm. i tried to find a better pic, but this was the best one i could find. i drew it freehand in illustrator – it’s pretty close but i’m still looking for a better pic.

Update – found this patch at the recent amazing arizona comic con:
