I like Walmart. While it's not my favorite store in the world, it is convinient and reasonably priced. Mom and pop can't help me at 0200hrs when I want or need something from the store. Wally world can. I have no problem dropping my money there, and then going to the self check out line, as to...

Speaking of China, GM is already the #1 automaker over there. Further, "buying American" isn't quite as easy as buying an American car these days. Whats more American--to support a Japanes automaker who is expanding and opening more factories in America, or supporting an American automaker who...

Any reputable brand ought to run just fine for you. I prefer Rock River Arms myself. Both civilian PD's I've worked with use them with no problems to speak of. Being in the military, I've carried a Colt for the past 9+ years. M16A2 until about 2002, since then an M4. I've never had problems with...

Yes, the Ford calls for Mercon. Yes, I plan on doing a cooler line flush. Thanks for all the info and suggestions. I think I will give the Amsoil a try.

My wife's car: 99 Honda Civic 1.6L SOHC VTEC with approx. 118K. My car: 96 Taurus SHO 3.4L DOHC V8 130K. In the next month or so, I am having the tranny flushed and fluid replaced in both vehicles. We plan on keeping the Honda for at least 2-3 more years. The SHO is my hobby car, and I will...

Please don't buy mags from Check Mate aka "Choke Mate". They have a history of horribly cheap magazines bought for the M9 by the US Military. Mags are one of the only causes of failure for the M9 in the US Military, and Check Mate is one of our biggest (lowest bidder) suppliers. I realize that...

"Self-defense bullets are most often hollow-pointed, meaning that the tip of the bullet is concave and not a solid sharp point. This type of shape assists the bullet "mushrooming" or deforming when it hits a surface, thus causing a larger frontal surface area and subsequently slowing down faster...

I've never had an issue with it in my Taurus. But my wife's '99 Civic has become noticeably louder with M1. I won't use it again on her car.

For handguns I would take something simple and proven. I've had the old M9 (Beretta 92FS) on my hip for about 10 years now in the military. Great gun. Many don't care for it, but it's one of the most tested guns on earth. So was the gun that lost out to it, the Sig Sauer. I ultimately think...

-Springfield Armory won the contract to the FBI Hostage Rescue Team -Kimber won the contract to LAPD SWAT and Marine Force Recon Both are solid companies. As far as high cap, yes the mag well tends to be larger, as would be expected to double stack the rounds. There are 10 round single stack...

Big Jim, thanks for the info. Very informative. Double Vanos, what is GC? I'm trying to place the abbreviation but I'm drawing a blank. Thanks.

Just going by the owners manual in my car. Again, I've only owned the car a short time, and don't use 5w20. Maybe it's a typo, or maybe I simply misread it. Either way, I'll go out to the car and check it again tomorrow.
