Might have to buy Hogue, Reno air races

[TurboTrout]

Normally I’m a ergo or MPA guy, but this makes me want to buy something from hogue, especially if they made a Reno air race edition grip or something.

IMO two of the most full on freedom activities one can do in our great nation; shooting and aviating.

Very little "free" airspace left and no freedom to work on your own aircraft unless it's Exp category or you're an A&P

There is a hell of a lot more freedom on the water, particularly once you leave state government jurisdiction.

For a frame of reference I grew up a sailor and later on got my private/SEL/instrument with a HP endorsement.

You can still fly coast to coast (maybe not a straight line) without talking to anyone, and one can work on their own aircraft as long as they have the skill and a good relationship with their APIA

Boating has lots of freedom, however we never fixed the loophole where the USCG can violate your 4A rights and search your shit anytime they wanted.

Also cool that we have some pilots on this site!

It's not a jet plane but you can get your Light Sport aircraft certification and work on your own stuff.
And there is always Hang-gliding, scuba diving, rock climbing and even parachuting. You can hang-glide and parachute
as a tandem to see if you like it. Personally, I say do as much as you possibly can in life. My longest flight is 2.5 hours and
I wear a back up parachute. The sharks are Nurse sharks and very docile. Climbing gear is good to about 5000 pounds force so your biggest concern is having an absolutely trustworthy partner. Sky-diving is great but too fast. The first 7000 feet go by in 48 seconds. The next 5000 feet may be 10/15 minutes depending on how buoyant the air is. A good landing is like jumping from an 8 inch stair tread.

I have a set of Hogue G10 grips on a Sig P226 X5. The quality is excellent.

Now that you mention it, think the G10 back strap on my sig is a hogue

The seam in the back, where the two halves meet is barely visible. Very good machining quality. I've had these on this gun for over 10 years. It's had alot of use in USPSA limited minor and PPC.

Mines a slightly different role, but been my daily carry for a few years, great grips, though my side panels, I forgot where I got them but only the back strap was hogue
