It took me awhile to find the pressure (fairly light now) and angle I liked. Its a lot of feel thats hard to explain. Also if they weren't convex edges you'll need to start at a low grit to reprofile the edge[/quote] One of them was unknown grind and quite dull. I guess I just need the coarse stuff to reprofile. Generally how many times per edge would you say to reprofile with 200 grit? Hundreds? Thousands?

So I tried this tonight after a trip to Walmart. I am almost disappointed. I've always sort of hated trying to get things sharp. I tried this homemade system on a ZT 0350 and a Victorinox Soldier. Did exactly as shown and really I just don't feel they got much sharper. I didn't buy 200 grit but maybe I should have started there. Any advice?

Then your computer has an IP address which it can understand. Charter's DNS servers are down. You can use different ones though. A lot of people either use OpenDNS or Google's DNS.

It's the DNS servers. Use: 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 Those are the Open DNS servers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Gun A or B, "on book" or "off", the questions you should be asking are "which carries better" and "which is reliable".

Personally I think the Glock 19 is the way to go, at first anyway. But don't let people steer you away from the 26. Granted, someone above was correct about since it is "too small" or rather "the wrong size", it digs into your side a bit more while the 19 sort of rides flat against you better. I suppose that would mostly depend on holster though.   If you get the pinky extensions for the magazines, in my opinion it is just as fun to shoot as a G19.In my limited range use, I could shoot it just as good as a Glock 19.

But honestly as much as I love my Glock 19, I've always regretted not instead getting an expert model Glock 23:

    I had no idea that multiple bullets could become lodged in a barrel. I assumed it would be bad if you fired again once one was stuck. Of course it depends on a lot of variables but still, I am surprised.

Can you get threaded barrels from Hk or is that something else? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So I went and looked at one a few minutes ago. I liked it but I just dunno! Glock has so much to support it (track history, accessories, magazines, etc). I WANT one of these VP9's. Does anyone in Cleveland have one I could shoot? Or should I just buy one?

Glock 26 is obviously smaller in the hand but arguably just as shootable. Everyone needs a G19.

[quote name="10-Ring" post="1181283" timestamp="1408486448"]New phone came in the mail today. Wasn't supposed to get here until at least Monday. Ordered it on Friday, figuring in the weekend there that's pretty decent shipping time. Although it is a used phone it looks to be in perfect condition. About to get activated and all that mess. So far so good. I'll give a report on Ting once I've used it for a couple of days.[/quote] What phone did you buy? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  May I ask where you found the code? Perhaps there is a replacement somewhere?

Nooooooo!!!!   I excitingly tried it twice this morning. Says the code expired.

I use TING. It's an MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) off of Sprint (uses Sprint network). Essentially, they charge you $6 per device per month, then appropriate amount for whatever tier you hit for minutes/texts/data each. I typically pay somewhere between $20 and $40 a month depending on usage. Sprint coverage is not super great, but gets the job done.   If you want in iPhone, you can go find a Spring iPhone 4/5 and attach it to their service. If you want something else, most Spring phones will work with Ting but you should always check first. Customer service is top notch (you call a number, someone answers within a few rings that can actually help you vs. getting forwarded through a phone tree several times).

  Think of how much time you would have if you were eating Ramen!   ...you probably won't get that.

I wondered the same thing a few weeks ago. Eventually got in touch with him. Seemed busy but perfectly fine. Enjoying summer weather I presume.

[quote name="MacGyver" post="1179221" timestamp="1407955501"]A savvy user can (and has) managed to create a new account. There are limitations to technology, and so if you're really inclined, you can get back on. If you were to keep quiet about your former identity and change your tone a bit, we're probably not going to boot you. But, the thing about it is, is that most of the users who recreate accounts are just narcissistic enough to not be able to do either of those two things. They are in fact their own worst enemies.[/quote] Or...what if he is already here? Holy crap how would we ever know? It could be you! It could be me! Asgghhh'

  When it comes to things like WWB, I am surprised that it seems most all rounds have powder. It seems like it would be easy when manufacturing so many rounds for some of the casings not to be charged. Now, consistency is one thing but it just seems impressive that I have never had any factory duds.   Man, I'd love to tour an ammunition plant!
