    I will say dont buy a shield 40. Its too much round for the wall thickness on the barrel. I had one blow apart in my hands. Veryb very painful and they will always blame the ammo so you lose your gun.

    Shield 9s i like. Same trigger parts as a fullsize m&p

    I still like my airweight 38 better.

    Is that normal for the dive instructor to grab your crotch?

    LoL.
    I'm thinkin that's part of the tenders pre-dive check list to make sure you have the required gear..? :eek:

    The boy tending me there, actually went to the same dive school as me. Thinking he was 2 months behind my class? Funny sob, but was one of them dudes that went a little too far playing grab arse games.. o_O

    Sucks cause I been on way better jobs, & worked for some big time outfits. But all I have are a few snapshots of snapshots someone else took while working for a rinky dink co. out of Cortez, FL.. :confused:

    I've only personally seen one body. He was a floater, mixed in with a huge mass of seaweed that got hung up in a 90° corner of port Sutton in Tampa.

    I was climbing down the ladder (usually jump off the sea wall if less than 20' air gap or so with no floating debris) cause it's not safe to jump though a pile of floating crap. About half way down tender starts flailing him arms around so I stop. Over the comms radio says climb out, we aren't going in today. I still hadn't seen the body yet..

    Climb up, take off hat, harness. Everyone is peering over the seawall. I walk over. Still don't see him till Josh points it out. Floater. Crabs already got his eyes, lower jaw gone, & swelled up like blimp. Took the law 4 hours to show up after calling it in..

    Police diver asks to borrow a lifting sling. Goes down, chokes the body around the waist. o_O Then proceeds to rig it to the whip line on our 200 ton American! Halfway up, his back snaps & the body folds in half, back of head to heels. It was the most grotesque sound I've heard too this day, & haunts me..

    Other than that, just run of the mill crap.
    Cars, tires, vending machines, bikes, shopping carts, generators, outboard motors, bbq grills..

    I was crawling through the 18" pipes under some highways in TX. We were contacted by the San Jacinto water management I think? They kept having major water backups from a daming affect. Finally in one of the seedier neighborhoods, I pulled an entire payphone booth out of one of the pipes. Of course the coin box was missing from it. Seems like a lot of work for a few nickels, dimes, & quarters..
