“TATER TOT” casserole – good stuff and easy as can be . . .
I added one small diced onion to the ground beef about 4 minutes before I added the taco seasoning mix – added about 1/4 cup of chopped garlic with the taco mix – and totally forgot to add the can of Ro-Tel – and it was still real good stuff!
The only difference the next time – besides adding the Ro-Tel that I forgot – LMAO! – will be to thaw the the bag of tater tots overnight in the fridge – I believe that will give a better melt through of the soup/sour cream mixture as well as better melt through of the cheese on top . . .
What’s For Dinner?

This collaboration between The Velvet Fog ( Mel Torme for you uninitiated folks – LOL! ) and George Shearing has always been high on my list. Between the sheer talent of George Shearing and the voice of Mel Torme – Oh My! . . .
And stumbling through the interwebs – I ran across this by Nat King Cole – Oh Hell Yes!
Which one is better? YOU decide – I simply can’t fault either one . . .

Oh Boy! A package from Brownells – Ordered Monday morning – Wednesday afternoon – It’s Here – YAY!
Brownells 19LS Extended Slide and Slide parts kit – amazing service!
Now for the Amazing Dumb Ass part – as soon as I opened it up I realized I forgot to order the barrel that goes with it – OOPS . . . So I just ordered it – maybe it will get here in time to go bang with it this weekend – it’s not like I don’t have anything else to shoot or anything else to do Sat/Sun – LMAO!

Depending on time constraints – I will try to do some snubby shooting this weekend – that being said I’m still dialing in my grip/sight picture thing with my optics on the semi-autos – need to burn anther 2 – 3 hundred rounds of europellets to get the whole thing burnt in to my head – and I’m also jonesing to shoot some cowboy guns – I will go ahead and start putting the post together but won’t get it finished until next weekend.
I have a sacrificial hoodie ( the zipper died ) and Cody has volunteered to pocket fire a snubby from inside the pocket – gonna film it and hopefully post that at the end of the snubby post – Oh Boy!
So let me stick this in your head – What do YOU consider a “snubby” – strictly a revolver with anything less than a 4″ – or 3″ – or 2″ barrel?? – or do YOU also consider a semi-auto with any thing less than a 4″ – or 3″ barrel as falling into the “snubby” class?
And yes the little Glock 42 will get fired from one pocket and an internal hammer S&W J Frame will get fired from the other pocket. Shouldn’t be to spectacular as this hoodie is actually rated “flame resistant” – whatever that means . . .

This one came from Brownells for $49.99 plus shipping – The locking block – frame rails – and all the holes came with it – which makes it a firearm – which requires a 4473 form and background check through an FFL to purchase. I populated the frame with a Brownells lower parts kit for $39.99 – and don’t forget shipping!
The frame kit is a straight up generic parts kit – to say the trigger pull was a little – how should I put this?? – kludgey? – how about gritty with a definite wall? – After 100 rounds and 500 dry fires and another 100 rounds it is a LOT better. When I get a total of 500 rounds through it I will get the trigger gauge out and see where it’s at. For now I’m going to let all the pieces wear the way they want to then more than likely pull it all apart and do the 25 cent trigger job on it.
Feels as good as it looks – And at only 4.9oz on my scale with parts kit installed – it does a good job of handling perceived recoil . . .
The only change is going to be stair tread tape on both sides above the grip stippling – and the stippling comes across as aggressive but it sure works good . . .
Mil-spec 1913 pic rail – light / laser / bayonet / rocket launcher – if it fits a Mil-spec rail – your good!
I you didn’t know better you would think you were looking at a gen 1-3 Glock 19 . . .
What you see is what SCT is calling the “ladder traction” treatment on the front and back of the grip – looks way different – but it works good!
Stippling on the front and bottom of the trigger guard . . .
Which is plenty large enough for a gloved finger to go through without firing the gun – Hello – Austria?? – Can you hear me??
Overall a good feeling and shooting pistol paired with the PSA Dagger slide . . .
And this video from RTT : Guns & Gear gives you a comparison between the SCT19 and the Polymer 80 – Polymer 80 being a DIY frame . . .
But wait – there’s more!
These two Dagger frames got to the range as I was about ready to publish this post . . .
PSA had this deal for frames in black – and I asked Curtis should I? And Curtis told me – “Daddy -you take such good care of me – you deserve it!” Who was I to question THAT reasoning?? So Curtis and I went to the range to pick them up – he got belly rubs from everyone and I got my frames . . .
Went to the range Saturday morning and went ahead and took a deep breath and dropped a Holosun HE508T-GR on the slide – same optic I put on the AREX Delta M – the range had one in the store – what the Hell – it’s only money . . .
So after multiple targets and several hundred rounds of 9mm got the optics on the Dagger slide and the Arex dialed in PFC – Pretty Fucking Close . . .
And yes – I forgot my sharpie – so these are all screwed up – by the time I got home and got to looking through pics I was clueless which was which – OOPS!
It actually took awhile – once you get close – you start just “moving” the adjustment screws – and yes – I will probably burn another 100 – 200 rounds getting it just “there” – and it’s as good as an excuse as any other to go to the range!
The pistol optics are NOT some magic bean – under normal lighting and/or normal hand gun ranges – there is no distinct advantage – When lighting is less than optimal and/or you are dealing with extended ranges – optics will make a difference.
Is the SCT frame a good deal? You bet! – Are the PSA Dagger frames a good deal? Absolutely!
Fortunately I am not having my feet held over a fire and having to pick one over the other as I feel that ANY of these are fine choices and the minor – emphasis on MINOR – differences between them are totally subjective.
Now if you folks will excuse me – I have a real pistol in a real caliber to clean – LMAO!
