Bought the Gen 2 Taurus TX22 TORO from KYGUNCO for $334 plus $25 FFL fees at my local dealer. Came with 2x 22 round mags and 3x 16 round mags, plus a pretty cheap viridian green dot optic. Took it home today to clean and lube and install the optic. Will buy ammo in the morning and head to the...

Edited to add: this is NOT a thick vs thin thread. Just wanted to share this convo regarding Kia warranty and oil viscosity. I brought my wife's 2024 Kia Seltos in for an oil change. I normally do all my own work, but my wife has put 5,500 miles in the 18 months we've owned it, so the 1-2x a...

Just curious what you guys prefer when carrying in public. Open or Concealed? IWB or OWB? Feel free to post state/country if you want and even what firearm/holsters you may be carrying most of the time. Also, what made you decide to carry how/what you carry. I'll start: My most common EDC is...

Got a new watch yesterday! Wearing on right wrist while a new tattoo heals on my left wrist. Love the fit and feel of the light weight titanium on my wrist. Put a barton leather strap on to make it feel more premium. Duratect Titanium case with sapphire crystal for my new every day wear.

This is my second UOA for this wrx and with 5w30 R&P. numbers all look great except the viscosity decrease. This is why i switched to valvoline euro 5w30 xl iii. If I should have put this in the other thread i posted, I'm sorry.

I'm looking at adding to my gun collection. Ive got a SW 686 plus deluxe and SW Shield Plus. Now I'm wanting a full size or just bigger gun than these other two. Mostly for target shooting but I'd also be carrying it, though less often than the shield plus, due to size. Does anybody have...

Academy had 9mm Blazer brass for $11.99. Not sure if there's a firearm deal section

I'm trying to find an oil that meets most/all of these specs for my 22 subaru wrx and these 3 oils seem to meet them: API SP (for warranty purposes) and BMW LL04/C30/similar euro certs for the HTHS, KV100, etc. My wrx seems to burn about 0.25 qts per 3k miles sp low to mid saps preferred. I...

Today is new firearm day! Wanted this specific model. Didn't want the PC model as the trigger difference wont matter for me as this will be primarily CCW. I also didn't want the ported barrel. I opted for the Optics cut slide just to have the option. Plus, it comes with stock night sights from...

Had a good day after Christmas range day. Went through 50 rounds of the Winchester 38 special 158 Grain LRN in my 3 inch Smith and Wesson 686 plus deluxe. First time shooting these. They seem more "dirty" than other cartridges but shot very well. All shots were in Double action and 10 yards/30...

Got a S&W 686 Plus Deluxe in November. Its my first firearm and I've done a ton of reading and watching and learning. As well as several range days. I plan on doing some classes, too. Anyway, ordered two holsters. A 1791 OWB one and an IWB one from etsy: Travis Winchester. I much prefer the...

This is my first ever UOA. I see minor Fuel Dilution at 1.6% which is what dropped viscosity to 8.9. Any other input would be great. I'm currently on a fresh oil change with the same fluid for fall/winter but will probably switch to Mobil 1 5w30 ESP by next spring/summer. TBN looked really...

Is there a running thread keeping up with what manufacturers dealer oils are? (I did search but found not much) If not, would it be informative to have one? For example, we know subaru is Idemitsu oil. I think a fee other japanese cars are, too. Maybe we could include UOA if we get them too...

I currently have a 2022 wrx that I really love. I do put payments on it but I'm way ahead as I pay double almost every month. I like the relatively grounded/raw feeling over my previous car (mk6 jetta sportwagen tdi 6mt). I also am liking AWD but rwd is also an option. I just don't want fwd. 6mt...

Hello, I was detailing my car when I noticed this rust spot. I remember something hitting this area and pulled over immediately to check. I didn't notice anything, but metal on white would be hard to see. Well, rust is easy to spot on white. It's tiny. How messed up am I? What should I do from...

Two weekends ago, we had a pretty bad thunder storm. Ended up hitting what I think is our chimney or power pole. I saw a flash and smelled smoke so I thought there was a fire. Quickly realized I wasn't prepared since we don't have an extinguisher. Come to find out it was our internet data cable...

My first filter cut. Felt a lot more effort than I expected. Might be the Amazon cutter? Also, am I missing anything else to take pix of? Filter looked fine but only 3k miles since that's my OCI based on conditions and driving habits.

Noticed a gap at the bottom of the door so I needed to replace the bottom seal. Old one literally disintegrated by touching it. Very brittle. Well, no hardware store near me has the correct fitting seal. Ordered off Amazon. Fit well with the help of my wife feeding it through Plus spraying...

Got a 22 wrx that I put 0w20 PUP but should have put 5w30 instead since I'm changing to 5w30. Would it be OK to leave the oem subaru filter on and drain the 0w20 and refill with 5w30? It's very easy to change filter and is like $10, but curious what people think. I've only got 500 miles on oil...
