I've recently acquired my second .40 S&W handgun (A Glock 23 and an FNX-40 for those of you who are interested) and after shooting this morning my ammo case has seen a more serious hurting than ever before. I've flirted around with the idea of reloading before, but at this point I'm more...

The better interest I was referring to was if you couldn't meet all the fine print. If you fail to meet one of those requirements, the interest rate drops to 0.15% I believe. They don't charge me for debit transactions. As I understand it, banks and credit cards charge the store a certain...

Beacon Credit Union, it's local-ish, but offers 5% APY. That is with a handful of stipulations, though. To summarize the fine print, the 5% interest is earned only on balances between $300 and $2500, all other balances earn .15% I believe. You also have to have 15 debit/credit transactions per...

One thing that I've always done with credit cards is to never buy anything that I couldn't pay for cash - right then. I have no credit cards right now, just store cards which stay locked in my safe for the most part, and when I did have credit cards they were literally used only to build credit...

So basically, if I'm looking at this right, both triggers must be pulled simultaneously in order to fire both rounds. Seems like a lot of room for error. Not something I want in a firearm.

Why are there two triggers?

I chose a .40 just because it is an easier round to obtain (and in my area, cheaper). From a ballistics standpoint, I've heard arguments for either being better or worse than the other, so I can't really help there. One thing worth considering, I now a .357 barrel is available for purchase for...

I had a CrossBreed for my Ruger and loved it, probably getting another one for my Glock. It was very comfortable, kept the gun in place, was easy to draw and easy to reholster, and stayed in place. http://www.crossbreedholsters.com/

Yeah, I ended up passing on that. I decided to get a new handgun instead. Sold my Ruger and picked up a Glock 23. I've been pleased so far. The laser isn't sited in - it's actually way off, but I'm working on that. In the mean time, it shoots great and has night sites, not those hideous stock...

Been a while since I've been here. I see you're staying busy, jdub. :P new build looks good. My brother in law is actually selling his AR and I'm contemplating seeing if I can't sell my Ruger and pick it up, but thought I'd get some input, details below: Eye candy: So what does SM...

Hey SM, been a while. I doubt if anyone here really remembers, but if you scroll through my thread history you'd probably find a bunch of "Other car" threads where I intended to buy a piece of junk and build from it. Well, up until now I've been full of hot air. I've always like the third...

I disagree. While not all pirates are looking to just get the game for free, I definitely wouldn't claim that the majority of them have a benevolent agenda. Demos and more affordable games would certainly contribute, a LOT, but I still think there would be a lot out there. Like GrimJack said...

All you NoVA guys should move Southwest. I'm lonely down here in Central VA. :(

I tried using the wudi installer on both 10.10 and 10.04 but it keeps telling me that it's missing disks 2-6. Very strange, I can take screenshots if it'll help describe the situation. As for the the network card, yes it is on board, and yes it showed in device manager. Odder still, I moved the...

Time is relative, that means we don't all age at the same time, which makes you as old as you feel/look, whether it's 18 or 23. :P (If Einstein were alive today, think he'd smack me?) Happy birthday!
