    I don't own any safe queens. I try to take care of them, but they get shot.

    I have far too many to choose from. I try to cycle through them, but there are a few that don't get much use, especially my handguns that had 15 round mags. I did not want to ruin the mags so they went out of state for safe keeping for now. Doubt we will ever get that law reversed, but if we do, then I can get my mags back and use those guns again.

    Follow-up.  I have shot this pistol about 5 times a week in the back yard and have to say that it is by far the most accurate semi-auto handgun that I own.  I have been looking all over for a 9mm Dan Wesson 1911 and can't find one anywhere. 

    I have one hidden in my safe, they are nice guns to shoot!

    I had a flipped primer once. Luckily it was the very last shot on the very last stage at a USPSA match. I fired the shot, saw a bright blue flash (I was between barrels and under some wood), and the gun didn't recoil normally. I stopped, stood up, showed clear, and asked the RO if he noticed anything strange, he said yeah, that last round didn't hit anything and didn't sound right. I dropped the moonclip into my hand and that is when I noticed the flipped primer.

    I suggest you check the prices of some of these expensive pipes then...

    Heck yeah! I just want to look rich! What's the difference between a Timex and a Rolex? They both show the time, one is a few bucks, the other thousands of dollars............. I am a Timex-kinda guy myself! Heck, I don't even wear a watch, I look at my cell phone.

    Last time I went to sureshot was in 2006. Tiny was still alive. Nice guy, rest were assholes! Especially billy!  I joined central and have not looked back. Garand matches sanctioned by CMP, get to buy direct! Range 14 is better than commercial ranges, but there are other options. 

    I bought two revolvers from Tiny (and Tiny he wasn't!). I bought a S&W 610 10mm which all my shooting friends want me to sell to them, and a run of the mill S&W 625 (post lock). He had his own private gun safe in the store. If my pockets were deeper he had a few others I wanted but no money.......... He was a nice guy, told me his wife was a doctor and made good money so he collected S&W revolvers. He was selling some at the time to fund more stuff for his motorcycle. 

    This is a question for @Pizza Bob, but did people take the 610 and convert it into a 41 Magnum? Tiny may have mentioned that to me. I am thinking he had two S&W610's but they were different calibers. I could be wrong, that was years ago.

    While the Bolt is quick, it's not that quick. All sources that I've found quote a 0-60 mph time of 6.5 seconds. And your 120 mph is pure fiction, considering the Bolt has a governed top speed of 91 MPH.

    I'm a dinosaur so I drive dinosaurs - give me cubic inches and naturally aspirated horsepower.

    Adios,

    Without nitrous, my car goes 0 to 112 in 6.4 seconds in 660ft. With nitrous I was going o to 156 in 8.8 seconds in 1320ft....... Car with me in it was 3400lbs, so far lighter than a street car, but I still have my full interior, carpet, headliner, power windows and door locks! But no A/C, no heat, no stereo, and only a 5 gallon fuel cell so it ain't going far! And yes, still has mufflers on it, I don't like my cars to be loud!

    The electric vehicles are pretty amazing though, like the Teslas. A ton of money also. Several Hypercars have electric drive motors PLUS a real piston-driven engine and put out well over 1000hp with all three going at the same time! But, I am a few hundred thousand dollars short of buying something like that. Would much rather have a Krieghoff shotgun than one of those cars.............  :)

    I've been thinking about doing that. Problem is I'd need a second set. Don't think I can fit four 18" wheels/tires from my 2500HD in the wife's SUV. I keep saying I want to get a second set for Winter anyway. Never have.

    I'm waiting on the TPMS relearn tool from Amazon, then I'll be trying to rotate them. Should be more fun.

    Yes, that would be an issue, you need a second truck!  :)  When I do my truck tires that is a PITA! That is when I borrow a friends truck to bring everything over, but I only have to do that every four or five years so no big deal.

    I have that TPMS tool from Amazon, it works great.

    Interesting, they put the whole structure up before pouring the slab?

    Yes, this is how they build Pole Barns. It is not built like the typical garage, and not taxed as such either! To build this size structure on-site with footings/slab/lumber/sheathing/siding/shingles,etc.... would easily hit $125k. I should be around $70-$75k all-in. Concrete slab, apron, 4v4 pads outside of the man-doors will be done in two weeks, then time for lift installations!

    I just spent two hours doing a simple oil & filter change on my truck, does that count?

    ^*^$#&()&(&^^$&^* dealer shop monkey put filter on too tight and/or dry. Needed my battery operated impact to get the drain plug off too. Same guy that over torqued the lug nuts. When I went to my truck, two of the lug nuts were missing the caps. I complained, the service writer got the monkey, he came out with a battery operated impact and couldn't get them off with that. I looked at him and said how do you think I was going to get them off on the side of the road? He had to take my truck back to his bay to get them off with the air gun.

    WTH is it so hard to find a trustworthy mechanic?

     

    I drop off my wheels and new tires at a local shop, they do the dismount/mount/balancing, then I get them when they are done. No more clowns with their damn air guns! I can do most everything on my cars, the race cars are VERY simple!

    Escaped Central Jersey and moved to Southern Jersey where I could finally have some elbow room! Went from a 40x120 lot to a 7 acre lot, finally have ALL my toys in one place! Been working on a new pole barn which is 40x60, yes, half the size of my ENTIRE LOT at the old homestead! Can't work on the race cars yet until I have the concrete floor poured, but been working on outside lighting in the meantime. I did not build the structure, I just watched!

    I have a Beretta 92FS, it is actually the wives, a Dan Wesson PM9 (9mm 1911), and a Ruger PC9 which is a carbine. I did use a Glock17 a long long time ago and had two failure to ejects, that is when I learned what limp-wristing was. I didn't own any guns of my own at that point.

    I'll say this, the 9mm 1911's are really nice to shoot. @Maksim let me and the wife shoot his years ago at OBRPC and we both liked it.

    @AlDente99 I had an NG tube for about 2 weeks, I cheated daily with the ice cubes and drinking when the nurses weren't looking. I knew anything that went down my throat was going to be sucked right back out............. I had the white milkshake bag of food too through a PIC line. Wonderful times...................... And here we are, still alive and kicking!

    I use AC Pro by Interdynamics. It is a large black can, got mine form Amazon, about $40 or so. Has a gauge on it. It took very little to get one car from blowing cool to blowing cold. The other car took about half a can, but it is good now. I have to do this once a year until I find the leak and see if I want to fix it. But for $40 a year for two cars, I can live with that!

    Have you held either? The Ruger is pretty heavy, I have one. It is heavier than my Beretta CX4 Carbine. I would bet the AR platform is also going to be lighter than the Ruger. I got mine through Ira a year ago, was hard to find in NJ-legal form (10 round mags). I found it on Gunbroker and sent it to him.

    Hey Mods, if you wanna strike my comments from here that is fine. They probably belong in the 1st Amendment Lounge, this may not be the place for them. Sorry I went off on my soapbox here.

    Hey, we are on this forum to support the 2A and our hobby/passion! I will leave the political BS elsewhere, sorry for the rant!

    Get out to the range, introduce newbies to this wonderful sport/hobby/passion of ours, and teach them SAFETY FIRST!

    I have elderly hispanic relatives that are naturalized AMERICAN citizens and that worked hard their whole lives and never asked ANYONE for ANYTHING and never got anything for free.  They worked 10-14 hour days for largely no more than minimum wage.   I'd venture to say that they have less healthcare options than you, and they have less resources to get that care.  When they can actually afford the care, they have their credit cards out, too.    So check yourself.

    The Statists, lawyers,   crony capitalists, administrators, insurance companies, and lobbyists have largely screwed up the healthcare field, as well as the astronomical fees of higher education needed for healthcare providers.  

    Good for them if they became Naturalized Citizens. I bet they have the same choice of healthcare as I do. 

    How about all the ILLEGALS that are here sucking off our system that never paid a damn penny into it, you good with them? I AM NOT!

    They are bleeding this country dry! And the Dems just want them to keep coming because SOMEHOW these ILLEGALS are allowed to vote, that is against our laws! But maybe you don't care.

    Call me a racist, bigot, whatever the fuck you want to, I don't give a shit! I have friends on here that know me, know I am pretty level-headed, but I also HATE the direction this country is headed!

    Wanna vote, become an American Citizen! Want to drive a car LEGALLY? Become an American Citizen!

    I have friends that came here illegally but put in the time/effort/money to become legal citizens!

    I have nothing against race/nationalities/skin color/sexual preferences. I do have an issue with illegals in this country collecting welfare, getting free schooling, free healthcare, having babies that are now Legal American Citizens simply because they were born here. It's gotta stop before each state supporting this is flat broke!
