E-Mail 'The Survivalist's Odds 'n Sods:' To A Friend

1. One question I haven’t see asked or answered on the Australian electrician is: Was this a company phone? If he was blocking his personal phone, I cant see an issue (not excusing his skipping out to play golf). If it was a company phone and they discovered he was blocking the GPS to prevent recording locations, I can see why they asked for the golf course records.

   1. I had previously read someplace else, that it was a work provided phone and for this very reason, concerns about employees stealing time ~

2. Hope the S. Chicago retreat owner selling that property is moving out of The State. Grew up there, moved back once (mistake) and now drive out of my way to avoid even crossing the state line.

3. M17, blah blah blah

   Its a Sig P320 with a ami safety.

   I’ve shot both the Sig and the G19, there is nothing not to like.

   Except SHTF Glock 19 parts and mags will be more common. Plus Glock parts interchange (a lot!)

   (hint don’t get the gen 5, the parts don’t interchange)

   I am guessing the M17 civilian will be $200 more than the P320 or the G19, just guessing

4. From a friend, who worked at a major US arms supplier, re. the M17:

   ‘too many parts, too complicated, armorers hate it’.

   Anecdotal, I know, but he maintains it’s first-hand feedback, as he was involved in the early stages of the program as a supplier technical advisor.

5. The M17/320 will have advantages over the Glock in that after the Military has them in general use, Police departments will follow suit. Making finding surplus parts and such easier.

   1. Well maybe but I wouldn’t count on it. When was the last time you saw a policeman carrying a Beretta? Just sayin’.

      1. In the mid-80s, right after the military adopted them.
