Well that was your response to me saying the computer would be likely to be the first thing that fails. My response about HDs was in reference to your quote that electric motors hardly fail. So I gave an instance of a motor that does fail fairly regularly. So I am uninformed? What does happen when all of your computer controlled features fail? Such as battery draw, motor control, braking steering etc? Keep changing the discussion. First it was batteries than it was motors, then it was wear and tear and repairs, now we are on charging. Enjoy your delorean while it lasts.

Wtf? SSDs don't even bother with a mtbf for actual use. They are rated by wrote cycles, because that's what will kill them under normal use. Failure is guaranteed, but is pretty predictable if you have predictable use patterns. Only tesla knows how much they write to them how often, and how over provisioned they are.

Anyone try it yet? I'm curious how it performs. I also found it interesting that compared to the 40gr Mini Mags, they have the save velocity at muzzle, 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards, same energy at same distances, but the Mini Mags drop faster. (according to manufacturer data)

I know exactly what MTBF means. Do you? You think a solid state drive is a computer? Please check the fail rates on iphones. Make sure to do your reset to get it working again. That will work real nice when you are doing 70. The caravan had to be reprogrammed in 2001. A whole year before that computer/software bit the dust. My work? You are the one that claims the batteries dont fail, the motors dont fail etc so what is the weak link, ah i see the computer controlled everything. Keep telling yourself your toy is the greatest thing since slice bread a few years from now it will be the next Delorean.

My vote is for a H&K VP9 9mm in FDE ;-) i Love mine :-)

You actually think you can get 1.5 million hours from an ssd? REALLY? Yeah solid state drives have a large mtbf, great. Hows about the processors, memory, gate arrays, relays, switches etc etc etc. The more pieces you have the lower the overall the gets. Want to know what the fix for a rear wiper failure on a 2000 grand caravan was? Reprogram the computer. Now take almost every function of the car and make it computer controled. Yeah good plan for failure. If it wasnt ready for prime time you wouldn't have it? Tell that to the beta max owners, the laser disc owners, and hd-dvd. Just because you buy in early doesn't mean its ready.

Exactly. I'm sure there are plenty of other threads, I knew I'd posted in one "recently".

my blower on my 8 year old waste oil heater failed in the beginning of this winter box fan I use at home did too tower fan I use at home failed. in both of those, it was a bad motor.

Nope.

Am I missing something here? Has there ever been a mag limit, or a limit now, on non-semi firearms?

Wow 5 whole years. Thats like an eternity. Please do tell how the car alerts you that something is going wrong when the computer is the most likely thing to fail? Lets see how long does a computer hard drive typically last? It has an electric motor? Washing machine? Dishwasher? I other words MANY. Its obvious you are a fan boy. You want to enjoy your toy? Knock yourself out. But at least try to the technology is not ready for prime time.

Electric motors themselves rarely fail. The electronics that run them, are another story.

The bottom line, if the PD has the ability to receive the criminal records check electronically, they should be able to receive the application the same way. They both come from the State Police. You'll know if your PD is online by the first page. If you enter the ORI number and the PD pops up, it means they can accept electronic forms. The only reason they might not be, is because they're lazy and it's new, and no one has put in the effort to understand how they'll process. This is what I experienced so far with my PD. I'm the first one they're processing electronically (kicking and screaming). Sometimes people need a "shove" to enter the 21st century with technology.

$1,200 for the lot seems fair.

Any pre 1985 S&W revolver or pistol....hey im biased

i have a Idea, " Lets tax illegals instead of giving them free stuff " maybe they will go home if they get treated like taxpayers.

How many out there are astounded that the barrel did NOT burst? I sure am....Hi Point obviously makes some tough barrels!

I disagree as history has proven otherwise. that said, NRA is failing in the simplest of marketing campaigns. Gun control was started to keep guns out of the hands of blacks. We need to use this....
