Crunchy Green Health Nut

I went to the SCCY range Experience today over at Pannell's Firearms and Range  to test drive the SCCY CPX-2.   SCCY supplied the gun, ammo and range time.  I'm no expert but these are my impressions of the piece. I love my Gen 3 GLOCK 19 but I enjoyed shooting with the SCCY CPX-2.   It is about 1" smaller all around and a little lighter than my GLOCK (by 5.99oz) making it a less bulky pistol for conceal carry. It feels like my Glock, only slimmer, and lighter. I noticed a long trigger pull and a bit more recoil but nothing I couldn't handle.   Overall I liked the way it fit in my hand, the grooves for the fingers in the grip makes it very comfy.  My trusty GLOCK is still my choice for home defense, but the SCCY CPX-2 is definitely one of my top choices for conceal carry, plus it is considerably affordable at around 279 vs 500 for a Glock. Here are the measurements of the CPX-2 in case you were wondering and the measurements for the GL...

I use coconut oil for everything. It is a very versatile oil. Yummy to cook with and also great for the skin when applied topically. You can imagine the excitement when I got news that I had won a jar of  Kelapo Coconut Oil over at Growing Up Naturally In Home Childcare's Blog This Kelapo cold pressed unrefined extra virgin coconut oil. So far I have used it to sautee veggies and chicken, fry up plantains and eggs. I put some in a little jar with a couple of drops of tea tree and lavender oil to use on the kid's skin since coconut oil is cloth diaper safe. Other notable points: Kelapo oil is  Fair Trade Certified and Certified Organic To find out more visit Kelapos' Facebook page or their Website . Please note all opinions written here are my own. I did not receive monetary compensation. I simply wanted to let you all know about this yummy oil. Till next time, Have a happy healthy crunchy green day.
