Not sure why so many assume that US firearms owners are all incompetent enough to injure/grease themselves.
Probably the many videos online of gun owners doing stupid things.

Small minority, but that's how it goes.
Well 4 a day.

Can you stop posting useful things please.

Gardening tools and gun holsters, contentious as they are, cannot be considered frivolous. Especially how both of those posts have been backed up by how useful they are.

Now, if I'd bought a pistol holster, that would be considered frivolous, because I don't have a pistol!

I prefer the Phantom Quick Draw. A buddy of mine has one and I was playing with it a few weeks ago. Really nice product.
I too like the Quickdraw, but seeing as I always carry my CCW in battery the Quickdraw mechanism is redundant in my circumstance.
I don't mind that if it's on my hip, but I wouldn't want it to sit with a round in the chamber by my knee. That was what I liked about the Quickdraw.

That has to be one of the most ridiculous ideas going.....so perfect for this thread.

I look forward to your update where you go to scratch your leg and accidentally blow a hole in your foot hehe
Not sure why so many assume that US firearms owners are all incompetent enough to injure/grease themselves.

Beacuse there are plenty of videos of that exact thing happening. The brack dancing FBI guy, the numerous "gun saftey" instructors, and "well trained" armed civilians.

It really isn't that rare a thing.

Perhaps they can just make a new thread on gun safety instead

Stacy: Happy anniversary, Wayne.
Wayne: Stacy, we broke up two months ago.
Stacy: Well, that doesn't mean we can't still go out.
Wayne: Well, it does, actually. That's what breaking up is.
...
Stacy: Well, don't you want to open your present?
Wayne: If it's a severed head I'm going to be very upset.
Stacy: Open it.
Wayne: What is it?
Stacy: It's a gun rack.
Wayne: A gun rack... a gun rack. Shyeah, Right! I don't even own a gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do... with a gun rack?
Stacy: You don't like it? Fine. You know Wayne, if you're not careful, you're going to lose me.
Wayne: I lost you two months ago. We broke up. Are you mental? Get the net!

Hmm... maybe I misunderstood this, but are you referring to me as a kind of special fkwit?
No, you have the ability to form coherent sentences. I'm referring to the America F yeah types who love their cousins and guns in equal measure.

I have some Creative Outlier Airs on the way.

I do already have a pair of fully wireless ear buds, a set of wireless ear buds and a set of wireless headphones.

I am looking forward to getting the creatives though as they seem to be a big step forward from my Sonys, and will make the second set of buds redundant I hope.

I really rate Creative as a company in general, I had some decent PC gaming surround headphones that broke at one of the joints and were outside of the warranty period, I didn't think they would do anything but sent them a message about it explaining they had never been dropped and only used with my PC, so not had a hard life etc, they had no problem replacing them with the newer version free of charge, great service!

I assume I was just unlucky with the set I had as the build quality felt decent in general.

Yeah I have liked all the stuff I’ve had from them I think. I have a pair of T40s at home which are still decent speakers.

The airs are getting some really excellent reviews so I am confident. The 10 hour battery life from a single charge, low latency audio for video watching and the two channel audio on calls all sounds good to me.

I'd be interested to hear how these fare, once you've had an opportunity to test them in various environments. I'm on the hunt for some true wireless IE headphones and all the products at the ~£90 price point seem to be getting mixed reviews.

The Sennheisers seem to be significantly better, but I don't really want to spend £220-250.

I just ordered some of these Nuraloops.
https://www.nuraphone.com/products/nuraloop

I already own 2 pairs of the nuraphones which are great (got sent a second pair after I complained about a problem that turned out to be a duff charging lead and they never asked for the originals back - anyone want some nuraphones?).
And a pair of wireless buds Flare HD Pro's which have great sound but annoy me with the dangly bit.

So how these fill the gap.
