I have been showing a female friend how to shoot recently. Very interesting to try to gear it towards another person as opposed to what one is familiar with and used to. Definitely seen limpwristing be a thing and unfortunately for my wallet, her sweet spot seems to be 380 rather than cheaper 9...

Since you mentioned USB ports losing power, my vote is the Power Supply. You said it was a prebuilt, and the RX550 was probably powered by PCIE slot alone. With the upgrade to the 6400, even though PCIE powered as well, there may be something funny going on with requested power through the slot...

When I had my 09 Ranger (Duratec) I had undersized tires by choice and it felt like it had a little more torque for acceleration in the city where I did 90% of my driving. Could have placebo/confirmation bias. Didn't matter to me because I didn't like that vehicle on highway. I wasn't anywhere...

I did a drain and fill on my new-to-me Yaris iA last summer with Ravenol FL-22 equivalent from Blauparts. Went for a 50/50 ratio instead of the 55/45 as I don't see the need for a 55% mix in my climate. I haven't lost any sleep over it.

This is a photo that I snapped when I changed the oil pan on a 2014 Golf (2.5L 5 cyl. NA) last year as the car was new to me and I really didn't like the oil pan being so rusty. About 41000 on the engine.

Purchased a new-to-me '14 Golf with 37K on the odo in April. 2.5L with Aisin 6 speed. Have been draining and refilling transmission when I can. Previous owner thrashed the fluid as it has been coffee-colored coming out. Originally started with some leftover Castrol IMV which should be a T-IV...

Ruger LC9 in High Noon Mr. Softy at 1 o'clock

I installed a whole house sediment filter about 4-5 months ago on the water coming into the house. Initially used a 5 micron and have since started a (supposed) 1 micron . Seems to catch the little bits of dirt that come in through the water. Just changed it out yesterday with 40 days on the...

Had (sold) a Walther PPK/S that just didn't fit my hand. Couldn't get through a box of .380 without my hand aching from the way the metal backstrap banged into my hand. I tried a high grip and a low grip and everything in between. Nothing worked. Wasn't worth it to me to keep that one.

I had one box of Wolf Polyformance that gave two squibs (2 pistols). Not a good time as it cut my range time short on that day because I didn't have anything to drive the bullets out. Fortunately they were so squib(by?) that they didn't cycle the slide and I knew to check the barrels for...

I have both and even though I like the Ruger trigger more than the S&W: IMO for the same money the SD9VE is a better value.

I've had better, more consistent performance with Aguila. I was inaccurate with a case of 124 gr blazer brass and I haven't bought the aluminum stuff in ages as it never extracted well for me.

OP: I have had both a PPK/S (interarms) and the PPS. Between those two: PPS hands down. No question in my mind. I trust it completely. I could not get a comfortable hold on the PPK/S and it would beat up my hand in 20-40 rounds. It made range time not so fun. Also, who wants to track down 380...

My buddy at work does 200 miles (mostly highway) a day in one. If he gets the dealership oil change (5w-30 bulk), he drives home, drains out the 5w-30 and gives that to his nephew. With the amount of miles he does, he says the 0w-20 makes an MPG difference.

You should be good to go. With the door closed and the tailgate down: how is it really that different than tailgate up? Just close the latches as usual.

I tried to follow BITOG wisdom, but then I got tired of the nuts becoming increasingly reluctant each time I swapped out my snows. So I put just a dab of AS on the studs when I change over wheels. It just works and makes life easier. No snapped studs as yet. And I torque it down with my HF 1/2...

I got one of these these to play around with. Pretty snappy and unlike the HP, has a good old fashioned VGA port on the back for using older computer monitor if you are trying to save a few bucks.

Also, a lot of people never made it through basic physics. 2 tons of steel vs soft, squishy human. Which is going to win? Vehicles don't feel pain. They don't hurt. You (in the general sense) do.

Don't have a list of 5. My first "company" vehicle in my first real job out of high school. 3rd gen Caprice. Cheap boss purchased vehicles from taxi companies. Was told the odo was fourth time around (so 300K plus). Had to feed it a quart of oil every two days. Still fun to stomp on it. Car...

Maybe the 1st round had setback or too high a charge. The chamber may have distorted taking the brunt of the pressure. Second round looks OOB as others have said. You should be contacting Federal as well as Hi Point.
