There is a piston assembly that allows it to cycle without pulling the can along with it.

Dead Air Wolfman, it's sized for subgun use so it's pretty big and heavy for a handgun, but I'm also too stubborn to remove the extension piece. In hindsight I might have gone with something rated for standard rifle rounds. I guess I can always get a flash can for that.

The company itself I wouldn't go with again. They shipped the silencer with some shitty political stuff.

I have a large ice chest and a heavily restricted diet due to medical issues and my food banks won't give me fresh produce unless I show proof of residency (they want you to have a refrigerator). The little daily snack pack with oreos and soda they give you otherwise isn't worth the trip.

I've had plenty of encounters with border patrol and typical blues and border patrol is exponentially less professional and more coercive on average.

Coincidentally, a lot of places I'll never contribute to economically.

Browser amnesia. I would have to login every time.

I must be getting old.

I'm sure a lot of military software, in contrast, is acquired from private companies that retain IP rights. Likely legal exceptions aside.

We are starting a homestead and getting away from all the fuss.

You are correct about how our skin has these natural defenses that are much more sophisticated than most people are aware of, but semi-regular hygiene is still important to clear off the debris left behind by this ecosystem, as has been known for some thousands of years. Once every couple days to a week is ideal for most people depending on factors such as humidity and personal biology.

Exposure to "everyday contagions" can greatly strengthen the immune system without making us sick as well, but not always, and the behavior of primates and young children eating their little green nose warriors is actually believed to have evolved for this benefit. Exposure has become more of an issue as civilization has grown in size though, and contagious diseases are being spread simultaneously from multiple points in the global population with more opportunities to find their way into that circle.

If you have a lifestyle that involves regular contact with other people, you may want to be washing your hands frequently.

They should hold onto the lottery ticket and borrow against its value.
