Good sign of things getting back to normal?
Who are your PA friends, maybe I know them too. Give me their address and I'll see if I have them in my contacts.

Front Brake Pads - Resurface Rotor and replace pads - costs ?
It's the only reason I even have an impact driver. I learned the easy way of removing them with an air hammer though. I just use a sharpened center punch chisel and get them to spin off with one pull of the trigger. Once I learned that, I almost never needed my impact driver again.

Front Brake Pads - Resurface Rotor and replace pads - costs ?
You can still cut composites, with the proper attachments. Having said that, I avoid cutting rotors as much as I can because nobody drives like miss daisy and everyone complains about pulsation after a few thousand miles. When I do resurface rotors, I charge $30ea when also performing a brake pad replacement. Most times I do a civic like yours it would be around $250 to do brake pads and resurface.

Glock 42
As someone with average sized hands, I have a very hard time getting a good purchase on a G42 in a hurry. I tried making it through a weekend combative course with one and I didn't even bring it with me for day 2. I'm not a pocket gun type of guy and I wouldn't buy a 42 if it came in 9mm either. [/2¢]

I can't believe I've missed this thread until now. Why, in the name of sweet baby Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt, would you drop your spent mag only to get on your knees to pick it up directly after?

SIRT Pro or Performer?
I have the performer. The pro has the green laser and additional 4oz of weight from the metal slide. I couldn't justify $100 more for that. Maybe you can? They are the same otherwise and I love using mine. I have it with me at work and use for trigger control work during down time, and also run drills at home. I've watched my IDPA points drop pretty dramatically since owning it. I'd like to think it played a part in tightening my accuracy. https://vimeo.com/115121614

SIG P227 and questions
FIREclean...whether it's clean or dirty that's what I use. I have a FDE Glock 17 that started turning black near the muzzle. A minute of rubbing some FIREclean on there with a rag and it was good to go. I wipe it down with a touch of that stuff at every cleaning.

The only day I can make it is the 21st. Is it worth it to go for the last day?

Cabelas has been really good this week for reloading
I know a lot of people that are traditionally snobby about having Dillon presses. Don't get me wrong, they are fantastic pieces of equipment, but they come with a heft price tag. I've been using a Lee Pro 1000 for about 3yrs now and I have it set up with everything except a bullet collator (I manually fill tubes of bullets) and I love my setup. I can crank out 300+/hr without a single hiccup. My ONLY complaint is that I wish it had 5 stations so I could add a stand alone crimping die. Lee makes reloading affordable to everyone and with great quality and customer service. When looking for parts/accessories go to TitanReloading dot com

Winter Tires - which ones to get?
You're absolutely right in how easily you can tell the difference in sound. Your guy is wrong though. I'd like to make this abundantly clear. There is nothing illegal about buying, selling, owning, or even swinging from a studded snow tire in NJ, as long as it's between Nov. 15 - Apr.1 . The thing about studded snow tires is that they raise the price over a standard snow tire and current tire technology is amazing. Studless snow tires can come damn close to making it feel like dry roads, so why stud and listen to them all day and with an added expense? Then, consider vehicle technology in traction control and all wheel drive. Studs are a thing of the past, but far from illegal. (N.J.S.A. 13.20-15.2g)

Winter Tires - which ones to get?
Also incorrect. There's nothing illegal about studded snow tires in NJ as long as they're only on your vehicle between the dates I mentioned. It's the equivalent of saying "you can't buy hollowpoint in NJ" Yes, you can. However, there are rules (aka laws) to follow while you own them.

You can use studded snows in NJ between Nov. 15 - April 1

Winter Tires - which ones to get?
What car are these going on? R2's are a little more expensive if I'm remembering correctly. Nokians are by far, THE BEST winter tire available. Are Hak 5 or Hak 7's (non-studded option) available in your size? What about WR-G3?

Rifling Damage Showing Up On Bullet?
I think Mikey is likely on point here. The bullet might be tumbling as it exits the barrel due to excessive wear which will make it bounce as it travels through the barrel.
