How does a power tool hold a 1911 weirdly? You're a strange dude Zeke.... You can buy all kinds of Bosch tools and appliances on Amazon.

Is this because today is 4/19 and the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Choncord? Or did you watch the Mel Gibson movie today,? Or did you watch the new Amazon series "The Patriot"? Or a combination of the three?

My parents are doing this. They are both over 70 and didn't want a payment for the next 15 years fearing they won't be around to reap the benefits. They are very pleased with their decision.

We signed up for a fixed $180 per SREC. Our solar company sells them and gives us a check in May. We made ~$2k last year. You can sell them yourself at market rate (which as over $200 last I checked) but I know insuck at that stuff so I am just letting them do it.

You can store in a battery bank. But - they are currently expensive, high maintenance, short lifespan, and inefficient - you would be better served with a NG generator. What you can't do is generate over 100% of your power needs and get paid for it. They calculate your power usage and design your panel layout to give you 90-95% of your usage.

Average was about $240 a month. Keep in mind, I work nights and sleep during the day so my electric bill is not normal. I keep my windows closed during the day in the sprinf (too loud to sleep during the day) and usually start my AC a month and a bit before everyone else. Now, with panel payment and electric bill I am paying under $215 a month. When the panels are paid off, I will be paying under $5.00 month on average (according to my math).

Nothing down. Everything financed through two loans. They did all electrical work, secured all permits, and made all arrangements for inspections and power company appointments. A new meter had to be installed (it actually runs backwards when we are generating solar), and the company does all maintenance and cleaning on the panels through the end of the loan. They also guarantee the room for a 6" circle around every hole they make and will make any repairs necessary if there is a leak. Finally, if I need to replace the roof (I won't, it's brand new) it costs $500 to remove all the panels and put them back up when the work is done. My house is new construction and has no trees to block the sun. The back side (long roof side) faces South for full sun for most of the day.

Darren, there are much better and relevant trainers out there teaching quality TTPs that are commonly accepted by the premier gunfighters of our day and age. They amazingly even manage to teach you without being condescending! Like I said in the other thread - do your research on your instructors. Vet them, their methods, their philosophies, and make sure what you are learning is what you want/need to learn. Then spend your money appropriately.

We have panels - installed Fall of 2015. We are very pleased. We decided to buy the panels instead of leasing or renting our roof. They will be paid off in 15 years, after that we will reap the full benefits. Right now our average power bill is less than $3.00. Combined with our monthly panel payment, we still pay less than our average monthly power bill was before the panels.

And here it is: It's all a commercial for his PDN bullshit. I've given my thoughts on Rob and his training here before. The experienced folks I know that have trained with Rob describe his attitude in class to be exactly what is demonstrated in this FB silliness. http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/81133-rob-pincus-cfs-april-11-12/?fromsearch=1 I see some of the folks from that thread in the FB comments as well - looking at you Darren and Nick. You both provided well written and thought out responses that were rudely dismissed. Do your research folks. Spend your money on trainers that deserve it.

Waaaaaah! Cry me a river

Pincus posts here sometimes. I am not surprised by his comments.

Glock also requires a different extractor and bearing as well as the bent 9mm ejector. You can get away without it for a gun where you are swapping back and forth, but for a full time swap, or a gun yo are relying on for personal safety, you should swap out to a 9mm extractor if you are going to shoot 9mm even through a conversion barrel.

For a Glock you would need a 9mm conversion barrel, not just a 9mm barrel, and 9mm mags. If you were permanently changing a .40 to a 9mm, then a new extractor assemble and ejector would be appropriate as well.

I believe the Critical Defense rounds are designed to get the bullet to full standard velocity from pistols with shorter barrels. Critical duty is designed to work best with full or "Duty" sized pistols.

No, it doesnt bother me. If it did, I would just get it stippled.

Awesome. Good luck.

PM out to you bry@n.

Wait for Memorial Day sales. Also, are you a first responder or prior service Military?

Agreed.

There is no discernible difference in the terminal performance of 9mm and .40 S&W, when using comparable modern ammunition such as Fed HST, Speer GD, or Winchester Talons. That being said, 9mm is cheaper, generally more plentiful to find, softer shooting, and usually produce faster split times and tighter accuracy when compared to .40. It's also nice to consolidate ammo types. Now, mag capacity can play into it. If standard 9mm capacity may be 17 rounds (for example a Gloc 17 or 34) which is a no-go in NJ requiring you to reduce capacity to 10 (what most companies sell as a restricted state mag) or will cost you more $ to have mags pinned to 15. Whereas the same gun in .40 (for example Glock 22/35) may come with 15 rounds mags a standard. Another consideration is the ability to purchase conversion barrels. You can buy 9mm conversion barrels for .40 Glocks and M&P pistols, giving you the ability to shoot both calibers in the same gun. You can't buy .40 conversion barrels for 9mm pistols. I have 9mm and .22 conversions for my Glocks that allow me to shoot all three calibers with only burning one permit. What pistol are you looking at buying? Also, take the term "knockdown power" out of your vocabulary when dealing with pistols. There is no such thing.

I may have said I prefer the G35, but I have no issues with my duty gun. Hell, it was my decision to go to this pistol after making the Dept get rid of the 3rd Gen S&W 4013.

I have one. Not the solar version, but a T1 clone. After some zeroing issues it has been fine.
