Maybe coffee. I actually roasted an interesting batch yesterday that I'm looking forward to tasting ๐
Maybe guns too. I kinda lost interest in them years ago, so my knowledge/experience is pretty dated. I worked for a gun dealer for many years though. If you're like a technical-brained nerd like me, guns can become a fascinating rabbit hole if you spend enough time around them. I knew almost nothing about them before getting that job.
Also, maybe whisk(e)y. There's so much to learn and explore in the world of whiskies. I used to enjoy touring distilleries when traveling. Some of them have such long, interesting history. And some of the newer distilleries get pretty creative.
Fun fact: There's an heirloom corn species that was saved from extinction by a bourbon distillery. It's a very interesting bourbon! "Jimmy Red," IIRC.
Sadly, my pancreas suddenly decided that I had to stop partaking in one major part of that hobby: tasting. I miss it.
What can you tell me about an H&K USP in .45?
Personally, it never interested me very much, so I couldn't tell you much about it on a technical level. I remember thinking the decocker is kinda cool though lol.
From the perspective of an FFL employee though: Those pretty much sold themselves. They're one of those guns that people usually already know about when they show up to buy one. They've done their research, maybe already tried shooting one, and they're excited to finally buy one of their own. IIRC, a decent portion of them tend to have military or police background.
Those were among my favorite kinds of customers. I was usually able to learn some interesting things from them about the particular gun they're buying.
I wish I could recall more about the USP aside from the neat decocker, but I've been out of the business for like 7 years.
Edit: I also remember that the .45 is an extra chonky boi.
Yo homie
Is that my briefcase?
