    New to me 45 ACP

    Only issue with XD's I personally saw with my last PD was guys slamming the longer mags into the compact frames and the mag going in too far passed the mag release detent and hit the ejector. Repeated enough the ejector tip will break off. However, both pistols continued to fire with no issues...

    Energy Lost Far Greater then 1 Realizes around Home , Shop , Commercial Buildings . .

    Due to the rush to build Surveillance Centers(Data Centers), most of our electricity is going to get much more expensive. Here in Alabama it is appalling to see 2x4 walls with only R-11 or R-13 insulation and then what is allegedly supposed to be R-30 blown into the attic. Attic ventilation is a...

    Anyone Accidentally Find a Good Tub/Shower Cleaner You Never Expected?

    Has anyone tried a non bathroom cleaner that seemed to clean a soap scummed shower really fast? Purple Power, Simple Green, etc? Just trying to find something that don't have bleach in it that can clean a shower well.

    how to maximize effectiveness with a DAO 38 snubby?

    Depending on what kind or wheelgun you have, you could polish the action up and leave the factory spirngs in it. A polished DA revolver is a dream to fire. The trigger ooozzzess back while the front sight stays tight on target. Way back in the day, a tried and true method with STAINLESS Smith's...

    Two Snubbies With No Hammers

    DO NOT judge revolvers by Charter Arms! They are less than desirable. They were/are so bad that I forbid them in my firearms training classes. I never had a single shooter get more than a cylinder full fired before the recoil and heat beat and heated the lock work up tight as "****'s Hatband"...

    Used Car Dilemma: 2018 Escape or Older Honda or Toyota?

    My daughter is moving back south from NYC and will need a car. Used car market sucks due to all the "income tax refund buyers" scooping many cars up. Her maximum number is $10,000. Wants a smaller crossover/suv. She drove a 2006 RX330 until she moved to NYC and then sold it. I'm at...

    Why don't Honda/Acura V-6 Owners Replace Their Timing Belts?

    Im talking cars with 100K-200K miles on them! I guess new owners don't know about "rubber band" engines? With so many out there with nearly double the miles on the original belt, it makes me wonder if Honda knows they will last MUCH longer?

    Why don't Honda/Acura V-6 Owners Replace Their Timing Belts?

    Yeah most do have chains but Honda hangs on to the belts like on your 2020 Acura. Considering how many manufacturers screw up timing chain systems(the last version of the Honda K24 comes to mind as well as the 2.4 and 3.6 GM's) maybe belts will make a comeback!

    Why don't Honda/Acura V-6 Owners Replace Their Timing Belts?

    I have been shopping for my daughter a used car and have been amazed at how many Acura and Honda 3.5/3.7 V6's are on the used market with WAY over the recommended timing belt mileage/years. I have not found a single one that has over 105K miles that had the proper timing belt replacement done at...

    New Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs. Valvoline Restore and Protect

    I get more money in my pocket for sure! I change oil on my port injected cars every 15 to 20K miles. 10K Max for GDI cars. Sold a 2006 Lexus with 320K miles to my neighbor and he drives it today. Sold my 200K mile Ford Focus to my in laws and they have nearly 300K on it. My Scion XD has 205K...

    New Valvoline Restore and Protect candidate - 2011 Honda CR-V - 220,000 miles

    The 2010's and up were the OIL DRINKERS due to the dreaded "low tension" piston rings. Watch the oil level religiously.

    Parts Mark-Up at your Independent Repair Shop

    Down here in Alabama it used to be like this: The auto parts store had 4 prices. MSRP, frequent customer price, you are my buddy price, and you are my BEST buddy price. The parts store would get the lowest or second lowest price and then charge the customer MSRP. NOT ANY MORE. MSRP plus what...

    Anyone familiar with this physical fitness task/ test using a handgun

    Yeah, I get that, but the trigger pull test, as I explained is a left over from the DA revolver era. Is this agency using a DAO non-striker fired auto? Most striker fired handguns require much less hand strength that DAO or DA/SA auto's. LIke I said, real weird they are still using this. Shows...
