I'd also recommend Honda. The initial cost may be a little more vs what you can buy at Lowes, Home Depot, Sears, etc. But their power equipment product line is exactly like their cars and motorcycles....very well engineered, extremely reliable. Plus there's an extensive Honda power equipment dealer support network in place should your equipment ever need parts or service. I work for a Honda Power Equipment dealer and have helped plenty of customers with Honda riding mowers that are still in service despite some of them being over 20 years old. It's a shame Honda got out of the riding mower/lawn tractor market. Apparently they didn't want to have to cut corners as far as build quality of their product in order to compete with the other brands in terms of price.

Thanks for the "heads up." Those seem popular but I wasn't too concerned about being able to add an optic. I found a couple of pro series with 5 inch barrels in 40 cal. near me but would prefer 9mm due it being cheaper to shoot.

I'm already thinking about buying another one and really hope to find a M&P 9 Pro Series with the 5.00 inch barrel. Too bad they seem really hard to come by around here.

Well... My latest batch of permits came in this week. My current handgun inventory includes, a Ruger GP100 revolver, a Ruger P85 MKII and several Glocks. I must confess that I've become rather addicted to the durability and low maintenance demands of polymer framed, striker fired pistols but I decided I wanted to get something other than another Glock this time. I'd been considering either the M&P or the XDM. Had a chance to shoot an XD (not XDM) and liked it. No prior experience with the M&P. My shop didn't have any XDM's so I spent some time this evening at the counter holding and comparing the M&P to the XD. Both pistols seem to be quality pieces for the money and obviously either one would be a good choice for that "type" of pistol in that price range. Both seemed to feel good in my hands with perhaps a very slight preference towards the M&P. I've purchased a few guns in the past without ever shooting them but this time I really wanted to "shoot it" before making a decision. I didn't even have to ask. Salesman offered to let me shoot one of the M&P's that they had in their rental inventory. Wow! Very impressed. I was worried that the grip seemed a little slick to me compared to the aggressive texture and finger grooves of the Gen 4 Glocks but it didn't seem to make it difficult to Hang on to under recoil. The trigger wasn't as bad as I was expecting either based on what I've read. The Take-up is different than say the glock and takes a little getting used to but the trigger break, atleast in my opinion, wasn't bad at all. The ambidextrous controls are a nice feature for a lefty like myself. It was nice to be able to drop the slide with my left thumb for a change. To sum it up, I found it to be a really soft shooting, accurate and enjoyable pistol to shoot. It just really seemed to fit me. I'm also really surprised at how well I shot with a gun I've never shot before. Looking forward to my next trip to the range.

Been a member there for a couple years. I remember talking to him about AR's one evening while waiting to use the range a while back. Let handle one of his AR's chambered in 10mm. Seemed like a decent guy.

A coworker of mine also had a similar negative experience. Waited forever for a recently placed order. Finally receives what he thought was his order and it turns out to be some other customer's order. Took several emails and a few phone calls before someone in customer service finally fixed the wrong order screw up.

I don't understand how it can be cheaper to build an AR than to buy an already "compliant" one in this state. Lets say someone had a budget of less than a $950. By the time I purchase all the parts and pay someone to make them NJ legal, wouldn't I end up spending as much if not more than the cost of a "NJ compliant" model Stag or Windham?

Nice! I had someone with a DE in the port next to mine about a week ago. I felt like I needed to grab a hold of something when he decided to squeeze off a few rounds. I swear my feet were were lifting off the ground from the concussion. LOL.

Depending on laminate plank size. Calculate cuts at walls or termination points to other flooring so that you will not end up having to make a cut lof less than approx. half of a planks total lengh or width. Start your first run along the longest wall of the kitchen and dinning room. I believe you will need to use a vapor barrier if it is going to be installed over concrete.

Where's it located?

Some carbed bikes have fuel pumps.

Thanks to all for the advice. I've noticed this guy has been laying low the past few days. It seems like he's concerned about staying off the radar.

I doubt it. He hasn't been caught breaking into anyone's car or home yet.

Oh great. Next he'll be knocking on my door wanting to borrow my laptop so he can post to the tweeker forum?! "I need your help you guys.... Some crazy suburbanite dad wearing black socks with sandals is following me everywhere! It seems like every time I move the curtains he standing there just watching me!"

yeah. But I'll assume those missing teeth aren't the result of a crack or meth habit. I'm concerned about this guy around my wife and kid and I definitely feel like these encounters with this guy should be documented just in case something should occur later on.

Curious as to how some of you would handle this situation. I recently had a really suspect new tenant move into a condo next to mine. First contact with him was while I was trying to complete some urgently needed maintenance on one of my vehicles while being very pressed for time. Guy persisted in trying to carry on with pointless conversation about wanting to purchase a vehicle similar to mine while paying an awful lot of attention to the contents within my vehicle.... I've seen meth heads with more teeth than this guy. A neighbor who observed this interaction from across the street also felt compelled to comment to me after this interaction that this individual seemed more interested in seeing if I had anything worth stealing than anything else and has since offered to aim one of his properties' surveillance cameras at my vehicle. Several weeks pass and I've noticed among other things that his car rarely moves. Perhaps he works from home? Also, I guess we're good friends now because my second interaction consisted of being asked for a large loan. I politely declined. My most recent interaction occurred just this afternoon. I'm home alone playing with my 12 month old son when someone decides to ring my doorbell once every 3- seconds repeatedly. My wife and I never have surprise guests. Guess who's standing at the door mumbling something about needing to borrow a phone to call his wife while he's holding a cellphone that I can plainly see. Again I politely suggest he turn around and walk the 75 yards to the condo community clubhouse and use the phone there. I can't believe this idiot thought I'd let him in my house. So, what do you guys think?

I carry a well broken in Spyderco Delica. I purchased it over 13 years ago and have carried it practically everyday since.

I work in retail/customer service and get to observe this behavior on a regular basis. Nothing shocks me anymore. I guess I've never felt the need to be a rude and obnoxious prick to a perfect stranger for no reason. I do have to admit it was rather satisfying to read her little stunt failed so miserably. Her parents must be so proud.

I was there last Friday evening. Glass display cases looked well stocked. Very encouraging to see the increase in their inventory. Hopefully the current ammo situation will improve soon.

WTF. That was fast. I canceled an order from cabelas and ordered 500 rounds of the 9mm. Just received an email that its sold out.

Got mine this evening.
