    What would your 1st hand gun be?

    My experience with kel-tec has been less than stellar, but it's only an opinion. I've shot several, they all had FTE and FTF problems, and they were finicky about ammo. I agree about revolvers, for a defensive gun they have a lot of drawbacks.

    What would your 1st hand gun be?

    I think you should define what your goals are. 1. How much do you have to spend? 2. Are you going to use the pistol for practice, or will it pull double duty as a home defense weapon? 3. Do you have experience with firearms in general? Because your location is listed as California, I'll assume...

    What is the best IWB holster

    I use a comp-tac MTAC for summer carry. The comptac is pretty comfortable for a IWB, and it hides well under just a t-shirt. Add a light overshirt and it will make a glock 19 disappear. I've heard good things about the crossbreed supertuck, But I have not used one.

    Ebay turbo

    I've been running one for over a year, same pics from a different company. It's not really a bolt on- I had to disassemble and re-clock the housing, and extend the "adjustable" part of the wastegate valve to get the boost level to stock. Honestly, I would have preferred a name brand turbo, but...

    Had a run in with a LEO tonight

    Meh, I don't hate them- they are merely doing a relatively thankless job. In my mind cops are in the same arena as IRS agents, janitors, or public works. But most traffic enforcement is just revenue generation, and cities use their police agencies as such more often than not.

    What's the worst car you've ever owned?

    My worst was a 72 Chevy Nova 2dr hardtop with a 307 and a 4 speed. Not a straight panel on it, 4 wheel drum brakes, and the turning radius of the Saratoga (thus it's nickname). got about 6 MPG and was slower than my friends civic. It had holes in the floor boards on both sides, and at some point...

    best thing youve overheard about your supra

    I was picking my god-daughter up from her preschool and decided to remove the targa in the parking lot. As I was loading the roof into the hatch, a little girl and her mom came out and made a beeline right for me. LG: That's a cool car! Me: Thanks LG: What kind is it? Me: It's a Toyota Supra...

    Construction zone = Cash for the city The enforcement has more to do with revenue than safety.

    How to stop the dead call I keep getting 43 times today!

    I was having the same problem last year- googled the number, and found that it was a scam operation. Is this on a cell phone or a land line?

    So I'm enrolled in a Diesel tech class...

    Any diesel mechanics/ techs here? I have a fair amount of experience on gas engines, but almost none on diesels, so what are some tips for success in this field?

    Fungible

    SC, I don't disagree. She bought it specifically for the purpose of "making a statement", and in spite of everyone in both families telling her it was a poor choice. She is a fashion victim, and it fits into her college age perspective. (and we don't like each other, so I also agree that she's...
