It's selling as low as $360 in some places according to AI-- I consider that in the ballpark pricing of the SCCY.

Agreed. . . I've always been conservative with oil changes, even with OLM's, but this possible shortage may induce me to follow the OLM in the truck going forward. I've also backed it up with a recent baseline Blackstone test that indicated that the OLM was tracking appropriately for my use...

Considering the possible reduction in quality base oils, it may make more sense than ever to follow our OLMs if so equipped. I'd rather run a known good oil (that I have on hand) for a longer OCI than gambling on a sub-par oil.

It almost looked like the pilots initiated a go-around departure (nose pitched up during roll-out), but aborted it after realizing the spoilers were deployed, and then pivoted to plan B. . . I don't know if spoilers auto-deploy on that jet or not. Soviet jets were rugged, if not...

For about the same price point, I'd also recommend the Ruger RXM. . . a Glock 19 knockoff with several nice upgrades, including a modular fire control system, precut for optics and several available grips. I have one and it seems to be as reliable as any other Glock...

You can't go wrong with an HK, or any recently designed pistol from one of the major manufacturers. It really boils down to the traits the are important to the person carrying it. You guys have clearly put thought into why you carry what you do. Many people don't.

Like you, I learned a long time ago and I share that observation about one-eye shooting. I now use both eyes for iron sights, but it took years to be happy about it. The RDS's punctuate the advantages of combat shooting with both eyes, which are numerous. I think I'm faster on the draw with...

That's a nice concealment package. . . I can see why they're so popular. The optic looks like it belongs there! . . .very low profile.

I believe that for the average person carrying concealed. . . smaller frames ARE better. . . if my CC becomes a conversation-starter, I'm probably not concealed enough :)

I'd seen headsets like that before, but none that showed that level of detail in a smallish form-factor. These seemed more directed at GA ops.

Statistically, and thankfully, the odds of actually being involved in a shooting incident are slim. . .even in law enforcement. It doesn't means we shouldn't be prepared, and the process of being prepared can be a really fun and rewarding hobby.

Correct. Context is important. I meant for general, defensive use by non-sworn civilians. The reason I ask is I see many people carrying very expensive weaponry with a lot of gadgets attached to them (not that there's anything wrong with that). There's nothing wrong with optics, flashlights...

A question for the group. . . what goes into your decision about which gun you carry? Do you tend to stick with one brand / caliber? I know for me, reliability and safety is my first concern. After that is caliber, although we have so many good ammo choices nowadays, it just about doesn't...

I don't claim to know how a Hyundai oiling system works in detail, but I'm thinking that oil flows through the filter and into the engine sump (oil pan) before getting sucked up again through the pick-up screen. I guess it's possible that those bigger chunks that are showing on the magnet can't...

I expected it to be higher too.

I had to go to the dealership. The only OTA updates that are done are for the infotainment system-- I've had one of those updates so far.

This was the 1st run of Valvoline Restore and Protect and the first oil change for this truck--I intend to stay with Valvoline Restore and Protect unless there's a compelling reason to change paths. There were no real surprises in this report--I expected high copper at this low mileage...

Just last week I bought a 5-gallon bay-box of Valvoline Restore and Protect 0w-20 from Walmart for $127 shipped (including taxes). It was drop-shipped from Valvoline worldwide. That's roughly equivalent to the in-store price of $29 / 5qt jug. . . and I didn't have to go inside a WalMart.

Quick question. . . do the Champ eCore filters have the leaking filter by-pass spring?. . .or was that a Fram thing exclusively?
