Congratulation on your retirement. And for the service

Thank you.

Recommend finding a store with a range where you can rent what you are considering buying. What feels good in the hand, may not feel as good when you actually fire it. Definitely recommend training. Once you have the firearm, training, and compliance with your state laws you can look for ways to carry. If it's not comfortable when you shoot, the inclination to practice decreases.

Looks good. Standing on Pointe Du Hoc is an amazing experience. It's a wonder any made it to the top alive.

Love the table. Do you mind sharing how you made it and where you got the parts? I see the foot pedal is mentioned above. The machine and speed reducer look great.

Post pictures as was mentioned above. And others will chime in.

@RockyAussie do any of your skiver video's show you, using the diamond tip dressing tool. I'm curious how they work. I found what you referenced on Amazon, just having trouble envisioning how it's used to not put a grove in the sharpening wheel. Thank you
