Help Me Spend My CTD Gift Card
« on: December 27, 2012, 06:58:39 PM »
My BIL gave me a $30 e-gift card to Cheaper Than Dirt. Corporate stupidity aside, I do want to spend it on something. Right now, I'm trying to decide b/t these THREE items....

1. A WaterBOB Emergency Drinking Water Storage: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/CAMP-205

Pros: Great way to store a lot of water. Doesn't take up much space until needed.

Cons: Not portable. No way to reuse.

2. Hogue Grips for my .357Mag Blackhawk Convertible: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/2-HO83000

Pros: I shoot this gun more than my others. Don't like the wood grips or the rubber Pac's that came with it. Need bigger grips.

Cons: Not shooting a lot lately d/t time constraints. WaterBOB seems more practical in comparison.

3. VersaCarry Holster for my XD9sc: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/7-9XS

Pros: Need a small CCW holster for that gun anyway.

Cons: Don't have a CHL yet. Don't carry d/t work. Holding out for one of these for an XD http://www.ravenconcealment.com/holsters/vanguard-holster-systems/vanguard-2-holster-full-kit .....if they ever get off their duffs and make one for the XD's....


So, what should I do?.....

Go for the grips then buy some man portable water containers locally.

I have reached a conclusion regarding every member of this forum.
I no longer respect any of you. I hope the following offends you as much as this thread has offended me:
You are all awful people. I mean this *expletive deleted*ing seriously.

Get a grip, man  ;)

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Grips. Hands down.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Thanks for the input. I also asked my wife....after explaining how you empty a WaterBob, she thought the concept ridiculous. So I ordered the grips today from CTD....

....they are really scalping folks with shipping. Even going through USPS, it's almost seven bucks!  :facepalm:

Ctd's shipping policies blow.
