Three Stihls, one Husky, and one POS Benelli here. 2500HD sitting in the garage that gets used as a truck and not a grocery getter. Loves its gas but I’ve had zero issues with it. Neighbor works at Ford as a body guy and wrenches on the side. He says the new Fords are garbage, especially the Maverick.
Ram/Jeep guy here Stihl is my saw of choice. I do like the husky's though. Everytime i cut with my husky friends my stihl eats them up. I use more fuel vs them so there is that. As for reliability on trucks/saws...its about maintenance. Keep your stuff tip top shape at all times. Every manufacturer has lame duck stuff hit the market as unfortunate as that is. I remember the good old days when all the trucks were reliable. Just a matter of who's was toughest!
gotta love me some sig firearms. Have a pair of p938’s. They don’t get any love from the striker fire fan boys,but imho they are one of the best carry guns made. All the class and style of a 1911 in a package that shoots better and is easier to conceal than any striker fired gun made. Yep they are expensive and yep only 8 rounds, but I’m ok with that.
my way of thinking is 8 rounds is four kills. If you got yourself into a situation you need more than that you need to work on your situational awareness. And where you are going. P228, P229 are by far my favorites, I will look into the P938. I am looking at the P365's but they haven't moved me. My Para is on the heavy side.
Thing is the two main competitors in that king of the auto shotgun for awhile was benelli and beretta, stoger used the same designs for an action as benelli because it was a division of them but now the whole works is part of beretta. Beretta went crazy and bought up a ton of stuff including Burris scopes.
My Para LDA’s are my Absolute Favorite carry weapons, with the full 5” my usual carry weapon Husky Man, describes more than just my taste in saws, and when in my Shaddox Tactical padded soft nylon IWB holster, even that boat anchor is so comfortable, that I forget that I am carrying it I Definitely Like my Para LDA’s But then I Like .45 ACP .45ACP, because shooting twice is simply Silly Doug
