Amazing mimicry.
If you're not cheating you're not trying. They didn't have a tow chain, so they improvised. "Horseshoe Theory" states that sometimes you can be So Manly you just cross over the boundary and wind up pretty gay. This is like that Star Trek episode. The yellow dog saw a Trump/DeSantis thread brewing and just peaced out. Buckle up, pup! Oh boy, now cats are teaching other animals to pounce... Sliding into Friday like...

I would suggest Jerimiah Johnson, for one. Even the Indians in the last of the Mohicans were better.,I am not taking away from Dances with wolves as art. Our modern movies are devoid as art. But it is the Platoon of the prarie. Ask professional soldiers what they thought of Platoon.
I get opinions and experiences vary. But unlike most, I have two remembrances from the movie Platoon. My guess is most have no remembrances.
The first was in Army basic training. My drill sergeant told us he just saw Full Metal Jacket, and it made Platoon a “pussy movie”. That is an exact quote.
The second anecdote was seeing Platoon with my own family. I defended something about it, I was a kid. My dad said “You were not there!” That pretty much ended the discussion.

"But I've always heard that Israel can field a large army of reservists--for only short periods of time."
The modern State of Israel is not big enough and does not have the human reserves willing to do attrition. The numbers are not there. Neither is the will. Absent massive Western support...
I remain surprised at the American Right who think Israel is some Tribal Block it is not. I anticipate a lot of Israelis bailing into Ukraine, where Z and others like that horrible Randi are setting up 'Chabad' Shop and making Russia justifiably nervous.

So the Project managers kept tight track of how everything was coming and everyone was on schedule. The machine arrived in India, the global supply chain was set up, the marketing campaign was ready and so on...
Except...the Indian team was behind on testing the machine. They kept saying they were going to do it, they just...didn't get to it the day before, but definitely tomorrow.
Finally the lead project manager demanded a picture of the room where the machine was supposed to be installed and...it was empty. Turns out the machine was held up in customs, not the Indian team's fault BUT it was so ingrained in them they could not admit to being behind they just lied instead figuring they'd work as much overtime as they need once the machine came in.

A good chunk of the natives were wiped out by disease brought by French and English fisherman before the settlement attempts. That's why the Pilgrims were welcomed at first, the Indians there needed bodies to defend against inland tribes that hadn't been so affected.

Just got home. Was changing out of my scrubs. Looked out my bedroom window and saw a disturbance in the water. Grabbed the field glasses. FUCKING FOUR ORCAS RIGHT OFF THE BEACH!
Ran down to the beach. They were less than 20 yards out. Holy crap. Never seen anything like it. Totally awesome.

So I walked out about waist deep and they came over and circled me. I'd splash my hands and they would splash their fins.

Ask the French, Chinese, and Russians what they gave to displaced people.
Shit, they can live and prosper in the greatest country ever devised or not. Do even we have that option? What else can we give them other than just stealing stuff? Hell, we gave them casino licenses where native Americans can not apply.

Old Western Scrounger has BUL Cherokees for USD$200.
Fobus has excellent holsters for USD$35. Get two. I don't carry anything I can't lose for 6+ months while the gun used goes to the State Crime Lab and then is returned to me by a bunch of people who process hundreds of guns every week.
Do not carry anything of any sentimental value to yourself.

I tend to carry what I find reliable, shoot best, and am comfortable carrying concealed day in and day out. The Hi-Power probably wouldn't be it, but the one I shot years ago fit my hand perfectly and I'd certainly consider one for the safe.
To your point, I recently bought a $240 or so truck gun. The BRG9 Elite 9mm, a Turkish copy of a Springfield XD. A friend had one and it was very impressive, so I figured it would be a good go-anywhere piece. It's a great little gun.

Well yeah. The reservation culture we love to shred is a little remnant, the ones who thought they could maintain without blending. Instead, they blended in in ways they never foresaw.
Most Indians, the overwhelming majority, took up a newish, compromise way of life and succeeded at it. Just as all my ancestors from Europe did, because we left that place for a lot of good reasons, some of them pretty damned savage. The life they ended up with here was fundamentally different from the life they left behind them. They were good with that, and so am I.

These can range from '90s S&W 5904s, to Glock 17s/19s, various SiG models, and etc.
Most are likely right around $300 ish. Good, quality guns. Most were "carried much, shot little", so they're generally in great mechanical order.
But yeah, I'm "ditto" in don't carry the heirloom gun as your carry piece. You use it, you're gonna lose it, at least for some months. And it might just come back with some officer's "mark" scratched right into the finish.
p.s. in Texas, *any* thing that sends a projectile down a barrel via the force of a burning, expanding gas is a "firearm". Don't try the muzzleloader thing here, it won't fly.

I saw a 90s or so ex-police S&W in 40 at a pawn shop a few weeks ago for $300. The only thing keeping me from buying it was caliber creep, but that pistol looked almost new. I doubt it had been fired other than the required 50 rounds for qualifying each year or whatever.

It really is part of what makes them perfect carry weapons if you shoot them well. One of the things I like the most about them is there is no transition from one model to the next. If you've shot the 26 you know how the 30 works, same as the 21.

I'm curious what you mean by 'drawing down' because I cannot think of a circumstance in which I pointed any firearm at anything when I did not follow through. I train to not bring it up unless that is going to result in something going downrange.
