    V-Tail Bonanza's ??

    Some of my earliest memories as a child are of whacking my head on a Bonanza wing. My late father ( a dentist ) had several V Tails - the last I recall being an S Model sometime in the mid to late 60's. He had numerous airframes over the course of his life, up to and including a Citation, but I...

    Sig Sauer P320 - Self Discharge Reports

    Pretty gutsy to chamber a round on a striker fired weapon, and then point it ... there ... Might have been better off with an XD. This is the 45 tactical. Got it as a gift; have not shot it ...

    Sig Sauer P320 - Self Discharge Reports

    At #64 and #94 the complaint alleges that there are body cam or other security video footage of P320's just going off in a holster without any operator command or handling. I spent a few minutes on Google looking for these videos, but couldn't find them. "64. For example, in February of 2016...

    Here's a link to the actual complaint in OP's post. All of the complaints alleging this issue are probably very similar, except for the alleged facts specific to each individual case...

    Sig Sauer P320 - Self Discharge Reports

    There has already been at least one class action over the P320. I guess this is the fires when dropped just wrong issue: https://www.sigsauer.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Short-Form-Agreement-Notice.pdf?utm_campaign=Hartley&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua Here is another lawsuit, similar...

    Glock 44

    Heavy Calibers

    I have a Taurus Tracker (?) .44 Mag in the 2 inch barrel ( snubby ) version, and the recoil is formidable. Light that thing off in an indoor range and you can feel the pressure waves bouncing off the walls. I'm sure it's stopping power at short range is considerable. The muzzle blast might be...

    How long to wait before asking guy to pick up his car?

    Seems premature to argue over whether or not you have any kind of enforceable agreement when your putative defendant is not just out of your judicial district, but in fact a foreign national. I'm assuming you don't want to go to Canada to attempt to enforce your agreement, States have long arm...

    66-mile 1974 Ford Maverick might be most remarkable unremarkable barn find

    I don't recall them being all that bad. Most of the low cost imports of this era were gouge your eyes out ugly, and only marginally better mechanically. There were a few exceptions, but you could count them on less than two hands. That said, buying a nearly new '74 Maverick today would be...

    New vehicle packages

    I remember when people praised imports and derided domestics, because imports had a few of the common things included in the price, but you had a choice of dozens of extra cost options on a domestic, that let you order one the way YOU wanted it. So now you can't get one the way you want it...

    Whats it take to start a hardware store?

    It should probably be pointed out that you will work far longer hours than you would ever work at a "job", and everyone and everything gets paid before you do.

    7.62 x 39 Top Three?

    I have a dirt cheap, bottom of the barrel, Romanian AK-47 and have no complaints about it - it has always functioned perfectly. Spending high $$ on an AK platform seems counter intuitive to me - the whole point of the guns is cheap, reliable, and simple enough for the average third world child...

    Drove on asphalt before drying

    Around here it would not be that much. I've recently had entire asphalt parking lots sealed / striped for less than a kilobuck. . I'm sure Cali prices, are, um, higher, but still it's really not a very big deal. Or should not be.
