I would take the boots. You can wear the jeans 24/7, but boots needs some time-out after some days of wear.

@tmg:
Not sure this is the right place to ask this, but couldn't think where else, so here goes - I love the cut of my MBB's but would like a lower rise (so that I could wear them with a shirt tucked in, for work), so which other cut should I be looking at? For reference I've got the 634 in std, SR and XHS, but I like the 'slightly' more fitted look of the Busters.
The Vulcan has a slightly slimmer thigh than the versions you have, plus a different denim. Might be worth a look. You should also look at the 666. Slimmer cut, lower rise, and people seem to really love the fit on them. Good luck with the search.
New boots or jeans? Whites vs Sams 15th Anniversary? Birthday gift from my girl. I only own a pair of ih and rw right now.
I'd go with boots. It's a more practical choice. A good pair of jeans will last 5-7 years with good care and no really abusive wear. Under the same conditions, a good pair of boots will last at least a decade, probably more like 15-20 years. Much better bang for the buck.

Did unpopular opinions become too unpopular? :-\
It's back:
This has been one of the most controversial threads we've had on this forum. As such, the moderation staff has debated for the last couple of days what to do with it
In one camp, we have had members complain that this thread is abrasive and judgmental. As it is reserved for unpopular opinions, it gives an outlet for those that have an opinion that may be theirs and theirs alone, or for a handful of people.
In the other camp, we have had members say that removing such an outlet limits their ability to speak out and express themselves.
So after much discussion, we have decided to reinstate this thread. To be honest, this is one of the few threads I monitor several times a day, and it has been for the most part, civilized. I have my own unpopular opinions (usually regarding gun control) that I get into heated debates with my friends, and while we may not agree or even agree to disagree, we are still friends.
To both camps of opinion, I have this to say to you. One, opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one and they all stink. Two, regardless if people express their opinions here or elsewhere, it's their opinion and you cannot take it away from them. They will still have that opinion even if they don't declare it here. Three, remember the analogy that this forum has always had regarding how you compose yourself in here: do not say anything here that you would not say to the baddest motherfucker in the bar with a bottle of Jack in one hand and a shotgun in the other.

I like that shottie

Finally got my dream shotgun (although I'm going to put the Magpul hardware on it when it comes out)
Mossberg 590A1 20" 8+1 shotshells
Elzetta M60F (215 lumens) on their own mount
XS Big Dot Sight epoxied on
Hogue Foreend and stock
#4 Federal Buckshot
Mesa Tactical sidesaddle (holds 6 shotshells) -
Pretty much an ideal home defense rig. Is the Magpul hardware inclusive of a stock? That will take a little length off for rounding corners, right? Nothing like a pump shottie for clearing a building. The click-clack of the pump alone is a great deterrent to any intruders within earshot. A friend of mine used that trick repeatedly to scare off would-be intruders from his home in the Garden District of New Orleans during the Katrina aftermath.
-
Yup, comes with both stock and forend. It has different recoil pads to adjust the length of pull
As it stands now, the Mossy has a 12" length of pull, so that's not one of the reasons why I want it. I want it for the CDI factor

I'm not a fan of the racking of the gun to scare off intruders. The only time a bad guy coming into my house will hear the cracking sound this thing makes is after a shotgun blast
This is my "Maryland doesn't have a stand your ground law" gun. The only time it will make an appearance is if someone makes their way to the fourth floor of my town house to attack my wife and stepson. The first three floors is just "stuff" and I'll let the police deal with them as they're trying to take my TV

Shit that looks my call of duty setup!!! I'm not man to pack that kinda steel

Crooks are like sharks, ultimately they're looking to exert as little energy and take as little risk as possible. That's why I think racking is a good deterrent. They'll almost always opt for the easier meat.
-
I'm more concerned about the nutcases that blitz attack. Its becoming endemic in the DC metro area
The jackasses that broke into my house earlier this year were not at all concerned that I was home. They already commited to a house that wasn't an "easy kill". And we were obviously home, my car was in the driveway
"Almost always" isn't good enough for me

Wellllll, if it don't, there's a shell chambered
You have a rottie too, that should deter at least some criminals

DougNg, move to Oklahoma. It's an open carry state.

The sad thing is that the rottie was originally picked up as a deterrent…but he's become so important to us...he's going to be behind all of us! He's NEVER going to get hurt, or put in danger
That being said, I don't think any of us can stop him. His protection instinct is really strong and he's incredibly strong for a dog that's less than 9 months old
-
He's a beaut, feel free to post more pics of him any time. Love Rotties, they are awesome dogs.

Damn you, JSJ stick to your diet, what did I tell you about fast good restaurants.

Speaking of, I'm down about 6 pounds since I got serious about the diet. Doing nothing differently except resisting the urge for cheat meals and no beer ever.
