Kudos to Midway

Recommended Posts

On Monday afternoon I ordered 2 items from Midway, a set of Hogue grips for the new CZ and an UpLula universal magazine loader tool (thanks, Mark). When I checked my e-mails this morning (Tuesday) I had a message that both items are on the truck and in transit to me. Very quick service. On the flip side, I've had an order in with Able's for a week now (just accessories, no ammo) and all I've gotten is an apology for the delay, but no firm shipping date yet. Big difference.

Midway is awesome.. now only if they would ship pistol ammo to NJ, they would be incredible.

The UPLULA is AWESOME!

Yeah, it is. Lynn got to use Mark's on Sunday for her Springfield mags (which are surprisingly heavily sprung) and couldn't shut up about it all day. So I ordered her one. It's far and away better than the piece of horseshiit loader that came with the gun.

Took me a few mn to figure out with the instructions on the package, but then is very easy.

 

More then happy to show you how on Sunday.

Hey Tiny,

 

Just for you. UpLula video.

 

this is the greatest thign ever!

 

Now I want to see if I can do it!

 

thanks!

It's the same set of muscle skills that all guys have been honing since their early teens. :D

 

I bet even Matt could do it, in spite of his delicate little digits.

NOTORIOUSLY heavily sprung. I keep them fully loaded at home and it has helped, but rounds 10, 11 and 12 aren't going in by hand no matter what...

 

I only have the POS that came with - but I can use it successfully. I think technique in many mechanical things is half the battle. Certainly the other half of the battle is applying force WITH my ample frame instead of against it.

 

ie: I had trouble getting my bike up on its center stand until a much smaller and lighter guy showed me the proper technique. I was attempting to muscle it and hadn't applied the physics properly. After his 30 second instruction, voila, one quarter the effort to achieve the proper result.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
