Things you can't find at home.

[mckenney99]

Like most of you who have been around or carried guns for decades, I have a 4 drawer dresser full of holsters plus a few stashed away in organizers set up for particular guns. I recently picked up a new LEO Qualified S&W M638 during the Ohio sales tax holiday (for an even greater deal). Today I went looking for a particular pocket holster that I used on duty for over 20+ years with a M49 & M649. I can envision which drawer and where in the drawer I last saw the holster but when I went to pull it out, it wasn't there. I have turned the house upside down, I've gone through every drawer at least twice and I can't find that D*@# holster anywhere. I swear, I'm beginning to believe the EX has hunted me down, snuck into the house and taken the 1 holster that I would be looking for, just to make me think I'm losing my mind. I have no other plausible explanation, I KNOW I didn't throw it out, that's why I have a 4 drawer dresser full of holsters.
Am I alone?

Evil dwarfs come in your hose and steal things just to make you crazy. About 45 years ago, my wife and I had a toaster oven go missing. We have been looking for it ever since. When ever we misplace something we say it is with the toaster oven. Nothing else went missing with the oven so we never thought that we had been burgled. Quit looking for your holster and it will probably fall in you lap.

I quit at one drawer .

There are may items around my house that I have multiples of. Most of those are because I needed it, couldn't find it, bought another one, then found the old one. One day it will make for an interesting estate sale.

Guessing it's somewhere with the pistol inside . . .

This is something my wife would do to me…toaster oven doesn't match the "flow" of her kitchen, disappears and has no clue what happened to it!

That 10mm socket

Somewhere in this house are a bunch of magazine adapters for a Sig P250 and the NiMH battery for a dual band handheld radio. Like I say, somewhere...

A four-drawer dresser to store holsters?? Sheer brilliance!!!

 

[John in Yuma]

If I get rid of a holster, the next handgun I buy will need it. At least two times, I have had to buy a new gun to refill a favorite holster.
It is perfectly normal, and quite prudent, to keep every holster and mag pouch you ever buy. Don't let any fool tell you different.

Why is it that when I search for something, I find stuff that I was looking for the week before but couldn't find? Is there a word for that?

You know, John, that we all live with many of the same issues. A lot of time we don't mention them because we might condider it a unique personal failing of some kind, when, in fact, it is as normal as the sunrise...

 

[BAM-BAM]

Try having 48 years of "stuff" in two different places 80 miles apart!

Some "stuff" is in long term storage, some in short term storage and some stuff comes and goes with me!

Every time I "lose" something I think of George Carlins routine on "Stuff"

and sometimes you just have to get two of something so it's at least in the same County as you are; and you don't have to haul it back and forth!

Back in 2012 moved to a new pastoral appointment. Some how or other, my Colt Hbar went missing. About a year later, found it stuck in the back of a closet behind some clothes. Go figure!!! Oh, in the same closet were a couple of .50 Cal. cans of 5.56mm ammo. Talk about surprised! Taught me a lesson. When moving, personally handle loading/unloading of anything you don't want to wind up somewhere in the back of someone's closet, etc. Sincerely. bruce.
