Yep, forgot to mention the 3 wire issue. When I had all the knob and tube replaced, I made sure 3-wire was used. I still run into 2 wire bx here and there, but don't care about those lines anyway. So yes, make sure you have 3-wire for hard wiring, OR, go self contained bulbs or plug in switches. Not much of a choice otherwise. Newer houses should be ok I'd think. Thanks Voy for bringing that up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I spoke my peace already because I've gone through the trials and tribulations as far as experience. I have a lot of smart devices in my home doing all sorts of things. I've done extensive reading and research on the most popular brands. So I'll just say one thing. I cannot reiterate it enough. Go with something you can expand on outside the brand. It is very easy to get carried away with this project. As you can tell, I went crazy with it. Its fun and using leds and smart devices saves you money over time. But going with one brand that will not expand outside of itself could end up being a waste. Quite a few devices use zwave tech or ecobee. Some are not compatible with others. Others are standalone that use just wifi or wifi hubs. The Belkin Wemo are self contained wifi. There are certain hubs that work with other brands. Take it all into consideration. You've been forewarned. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Wemo switches have wifi built in. Don't need a hub. I would go with whats popular and work with other devices in case you get carried away like I did. Forgot to mention, if you have the new Harmony TV remote, it can control certain devices Just use app to set up and use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just about every light I have, switches, etc that control anything important is running in my house. Yes, they were X-10 and I finally got rid of the last 2 month or so ago. They suck in old houses especially and in order to get them working most of the time, I had to put a phase coupler on the breaker panel. Now I'm using a few different brands. It all started with me replacing all my lights with leds. Then I got the Amazon Echo. That led me to Philips Hue, Wink and Wemo. Hue bulbs are not the cheapest but there are other brands that work with it. Same thing with Wink and Wemo. You also have Smartthings but I found them to be more expensive. Best bet is get a Hue starter package and see how far you want to go. It doesn't take much to go crazy with this stuff. Its addicting. So far, my thermostat, fan, many lights, 2 Amazon Echo devices, switches and Lord knows what I forgot to mention. It can sense me if I want when I walk in, some devices have geo fencing if you are into that. But the most common piece you will need is a Hub that talks to everything. I even have a color hue Bloom they call it that simulates sunrise and sunset. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yep, caveats in many areas. Started out ripping my right knee apart in a fight years ago. Never healed right. Doc was a dick. Then the right meniscus started tearing after many years of weight lifting. Then a fall off a 20ft ladder onto concrete gave me 2 long screws holding my right foot on. Still in there. As a result of ignoring everything, I started favoring the right side. While doing so, the right hip started failing. Long story short. My whole right side is fubar. All that favoring screwed up my left knee. Sometimes depending on the weather, I walk like Quasi Motto! Can't win! Thank God for my medz. SO! The other caveat is: I'm the only one around to man this ship. My wife would have to take off a few weeks to get me around. I also have to be healed before winter. My wife can't be expected to handle any snow. You are prob right about not going back, but a lot of docs won't do both together. I want them both done. I'll skip the hip. I also want him to unfook my right knee tendons that got screwed up in the fight. Even with insurance, out of pocket is a lot. Thanks Obama! So got to save. Sux getting old! When I was younger, I ignored the pain. Not any more! More bad days than good at times.

Yeesh, good luck. I need both knees and prob a right hip. Been putting it off for quite awhile. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I guess I really never took it into consideration or why it would be a factor. Of course not seeing it and having smooth lines is a plus but the externals never really bothered me. Besides External Extractor Lives Matter. All kidding aside, I do love the fine smooth lines of a traditional 1911. Its a gun and look you just need to love and appreciate. As for others, they are what they are. I'd go traditional. No external on a 1911. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Huh? Lots of guns have that. There is nothing wrong with them. Not every gun can be a 1911 you know. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What they've really meant all these years is they want to close the poop hole. Like everything else, they get nothing right. Their poop hole is already closed and their lack of brains proves it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the P938 Extreme, (all pretty much the same), and its a great gun. But don't pay msrp. They can be had cheaper than that. Its my all time pocket pistol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What happens if the bullet hits the pin before the gas blows it out if it even does? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just hope the pin doesn't eventually dislodge and slide through and lodge itself like a rod blocking the muzzle. I'd send it back. If he messed up that bad and he didn't use a tight roll pin and proper weld, well, boom. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

They ain't cheap either. You pay extra for that drop in ability. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Or you can just happen to get a good price on one that was out of stock forever and one just came in and get it just for the halibut or when you move to a free state. I just stuck one in my p229 for the halibut. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Out of all of them that I tried like Vonage, Magicjerk, etc. I found Nettalk to be the best. Live humans you can call, One year free with device, real cheap annual fee, never down time, at least I never had. Smartphone app, etc. Transfer your number or pick a new one. Can't beat them. High speed internet needed. I have 3 lines with them. http://www.nettalk.com/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm , putting on my pink tutu so I can hash this out. Ummmm, no. It involves a lot more than that. Less weight to be carried extends past that. Delivery methods, ie proper weight distribution on aircraft for instance. Less weight, more ammo to the proper places. Etc etc etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Use plastic would be best bet. Still lighter. Use recycled and submit for scrap plastic to be born again into an ammo can. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Hmmmm, we'll take all the cans away for free beings we paid for them and whatever happened to the studies being done for caseless ammo? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Grind the weld off and heat up in case there is a little loctite on it. Press plunger and then use your favorite tool to unscrew it.I accept no responsibility if you mess up your gun. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
