President Potato : A Poem by Mikey

President Potato by Mikey

A potato if elected as our President

Would outshine the new White House resident

A potato has so many various uses

Compared to Bidens’ numerous abuses

Mashed fried or baked a potato pleases

While the executive vegetable mainly just sleazes

Potato salad seasoned with dill

Will do more for your health than Fake Doctor Jill

Potatoes Au Gratin is good for the senses

While down at the border Biden’s tearing down fences

Potatoes may be red white or sweet

Snowflakes voted for Biden cause they’re scared of a tweet

Potatoes even make vodka – it’s a clean sweep

And would never select kneepads to act as a veep

Potatoes in ground will increase your crop

And rarely if ever lose a laptop

Root cellar potatoes are good for five years

Biden hides in the cellar due to handler fears

A potato leads by exemplar utility

With Biden we only get futile senility

In short that root veggie would sure get my vote

Before an idiot from Delaware whose brains missed the boat

Sig P232 Compared to . . . The Walther PK380

Walther came oh so close to marketing one of the best .380 pistols on the market – the slide is easy to rack – great ( for a small pistol ) ergonomics grip wise – the rear sight cut out is wide compared to the front sight which makes it easy for old eyeballs to see – paddle magazine release / ambidextrous right out of the box – soft shooter – factory rail – factory laser available – night sights available – 8 round single stack magazine that’s really easy on the thumbs to load – all of that and they managed to miss it by just that much . . .

Size wise the PK380 is almost identical to the P232 . . .

The PK380 sure wouldn’t fare well in a beauty contest with the Sig . . .

Virtually the same foot print . . .

The PK380 is a nice little pistol if you don’t mind a polymer frame . . .

Really only two dings on the PK380 – one minor and one “What in the Hell kind of drugs are you people on??” – and won’t share them!

1st Ding – A take down tool is required – why not a solid head with a slot on the pin??

Counter clockwise about 1/2 a turn – back slightly on the slide – pull down on the tabs – push the slide off the front – not rocket surgery . . .

About like every other one out there – pull the guide rod up and out – remove the barrel and start cleaning . . .

Wait . . . What? Where did all that spring come from?

And there is the deal breaker – even with practice it is fidgety as Hell to put it back together. If you want to test drive it with me to see if maybe you would purchase one – referencing little old ladies – after we’re done it’s bath time – if a given firearm is your particular flavor and you are going to trot your happy ass out and buy one – if my fingers are in the pie you will have disassembled – cleaned it – and reassembled it twice – you do get your money’s worth out of the deal.

Three people total have managed to put it back together – one using no tools – two using tools – all three guys – have not had a gal put the recoil spring / guide rod back in the pistol yet – Damn Walther really screwed the pooch on this one . . .

Just about a complete wish list of features you could dream up for an older person to have in a pistol – and an incredibly easy to rack slide – arthritis tends to creep up on older people leading to diminished hand strength and the ability to manipulate small parts. BUT if Mrs. Abernathy can’t clean the damn thing – “Bruce – I can’t do this” – either it’s going to not be maintained on a regular basis – or not even shot on a regular basis . . . I got to the point where I wouldn’t even utilize it for training – if someone liked it and then couldn’t maintain it – it was a choice of not maintaining it or paying someone to clean it – not fair to someone who really liked it and then realizing there is no way to take care of it on their own . . .

I was talking to a friend about this series of posts and said I probably wasn’t even going to include the PK380 in it – so hard to reassemble as it is I didn’t really want to ding it without offering a solution – He said go to Galloway Precision and get a captured spring/guide rod assembly and be done with the issue – so I did and I am . . . Never even had a clue that someone had built this . . .

Now even my Blushing Bride can take the PK380 apart and reassemble it – and she DOES NOT clean guns – that is my job and I am happy doing that for her – that’s what she told me and I believe her – LMAO!

With the new recoil spring / guide rod assembly I have to say I really like the PK380 and recommend it if you are comfortable with what .380ACP brings to the table . . .
