  1. I have the same, 2.25 inch. I’ve shotnor dry fired it countless times and it’s heavy but smooth. My wifey got the 4 inch and I think I like it better though it’s not easy to carry.
  2. The CZ 455 is excellent but I’m no USMC Sharpshooter, so my Marlin XT-22 is more accurate than I am for less money. To further rock the boat, my Browning BL22 is a sweet handling level gun with a fairly compact stock and is wonderfully accurate without glass.
  3. I only wrench my own machines, except when the FAA won't allow me to do so. I didn't include this, but I'm also in the NJ national guard. In OCS, thinking infantry.
  4. I thought I should put this out here. I’m a finance guy looking to find a new job. I have worked in big and small companies, connecting the dots between actual operations and the financing that helps them make their missions a reality. I’m looking for a position where I can work in a financial and/or strategy role, and hope to lever my experience in infrastructure but very open to new industries. LinkedIn profile is copied below. If my background looks at all applicable/interesting/confusing, drop me a line! + Following the Remington bankruptcy, JPMorgan and Franklin Templeton is likely to own the equity shares that Cerberus held. If anyone knows people in those shops, I’d love the chance to get involved and turn the company around! http://linkedin.com/in/dancorey
  5. Just to toss up the feedback: I have a Beretta factory 22 conversion kit on my Beretta 92FS that eats any ammo. I also have a Sig Sauer Mosquito Sport that is ammo sensitive and has a worse trigger than my Ryobi power drill. None of them compare to the way my Beretta 87Target effortlessly puts rounds on paper. My humble advice? Get whatever functions reliably with low quality ammo.
  6. BTT Looks like Remington’s goofy shotgun bastardization couldn’t keep it from going bankrupt.
  7. Bob is the wheelgun boss. Do what he says. My wife got her first-ever gun today. SP101 4 inch 357. Fits her hand and felt comfortable to balance.
  8. Not sure if this is Mercedes, but here’s the key
  9. I bought a 2014 Charger and only have 1 key fob. Dealership wants $300 for a new key but a local locksmith said to just ask them for the SKIM code just in case their hardware can’t read it and they will cut & program for $65. I had one dealer in Bergen county say they will not tell me the SKIM code because only they will program keys (no thanks). Does anyone have advice on getting the SKIM code and programming the new keys? Is there a tool that you I can get to DIY and just have the shanks cut locally?
  10. Interesting. Did you check the issue date on the permits?
  11. I got my tshirt from this and... well... let's just say it won't be in my regular rotation!
  12. I just got my first Glock because I wanted a 10mm and heard the Glock 20 is the platform of choice. I still love my 92FS and PPQ, but I have to say... holy mother of hand cannons, this is a tier 1 machine.
  13. I maxed out this offer and included both forms in the envelope. I got my $40 rebate a few weeks ago. Then, just last week, I got the other $10 check and a note that the shirt will arrive separately. This is all way faster than any of the Remington offers in the past.
  14. Same here. Financing is a good tool, but it's just a business that someone else uses to make more money on their asset. I may choose to finance, but I'm doing the math elsewhere to make sure it's the right choice. I'm not trying to bash your love for motor sports here. I hope you get the vette, love it, drive it, treat it gently... and sell it to me in 8 years when depreciation levels off. I'll probably be ready to sell my '93 6spd by then anyway (bought that for cash, btw ).
  15. Plus, this is a toy purchase that is dependent upon financing... hello, non-deductible interest payments. Nope.
  16. I try to explain to people why I don't ride in groups. They don't get.
  17. Still, the state manages to charge me $64 per year for registration. **grumble** From your mouth to God's ears!
  18. I don't know the class schedules but I'm glad to read that you're pursuing that route. Learning from a friend or family member exponentially increases your likelihood of a serious or fatal accident. In the meantime, consider getting an underpowered bike that you can run to its limits. Also, getting something cheap an ugly means you won't cry when you drop it (not "if", but definitely "when").
  19. To further your point, you only need a 32% on the ASVAB to get into the Marine Corps.
  20. This seems petty, but check your zoning before getting chickens. Sorry to be "that guy", but... wouldn't it be easier to buy one? If it's just for chickens, an 80's Corvette can be had for $5k.
  21. When I took the TX course, my instructor highly recommended coverage.
  22. I have a PPQ to suit my limited needs for a plastic gun. That said, I think there is a Glock 20 in my future in case I ever need a handgun for even limiteder needs.
