  1. The newer models take increasingly thin oil in order to meet the government mandated mileage standards. Changing the oil ahead of the stated interval is cheap insurance and one of the best things you can do to help insure against premature wear. My Toyota uses 0w16 and I always change it between 5 to 7000 miles.
  2. Yes, it's a debilitating condition. Symptoms include shrinking safe space, indecision when packing for the range, and an inability to drive past gun stores without stopping.
  3. Those are my photos. I think you're right and I'm wrong, what I thought was a 92X Centurion doesn't seem to have any Centurion markings on it, so it's just a 92X I guess. Placed next to a 96D Centurion, the 96D's definitely shorter. I recently had another actual 92X Centurion that I sold, and I suppose I assumed both these 92Xs were Centurions because of the trimmed down muzzle. Sorry for any confusion.
  4. Nice! I think the perfect scope for these are compact prisms, something like the Vortex Spitfire II 3X Prism, because you can remove the riser and mount it close to flush on the rail. I think I just have an old Aimpoint Pro on my T36 and it works well enough for basic messing around at the range.
  5. TOPS makes good knives. They do have some designs that I wouldn't own but they also do plenty of more traditional shapes. The quality is good and the prices are reasonable.
  6. I'd toss those cases too, just to be safe. 9mm brass is practically free.
  7. Let me show you where I was coming from. 92X Centurion on the left in both photos. The slide is the same length as the 92FS, or near enough as makes no difference. The Compact slide is noticeably shorter than the Centurion as well. If they are selling current Centurions with the traditional rounded backstraps, I guess I haven't come across any of those.
  8. There have been multiple videos of uncommanded discharges of P320s where the owner was doing nothing at all except wearing a holstered P320. It seems to be increasingly clear that there is some design or manufacturing flaw in play here; leading theories are that there is tolerance stack of the striker and sear in some guns, and also an ineffective firing pin block as well. SIG's position of doubling down that nothing is wrong with the P320 is going to make or break them on this, but with mounting evidence and no replicable-upon-demand cause, I wouldn't put my money on them at this point. Personally, I have an older P320 I use for carry and I have worked it over from multiple angles with a rubber mallet to satisfy myself that the sear will hold the striker. Out of an abundance of caution, I would advise my friends to carry something else for a while until this issue is tracked all the way down.
  9. Every time I've been to that show in the old Shriner's building, it seems like the exact same show with the exact same crap as last time, and very little that's interesting. The last Jackson TN show I attended blew this one out of the water, not that that amounts to much.
  10. I have been loading these for a while and my observation is that striker guns have a tough time with them but most hammer fired guns will light them reliably.
  11. Can confirm the show is going on. Stopped by today.
  12. I took mine out again and was seeing an issue with the trigger. The pull became harder and inconsistent. Took the slide off and it seemed the trigger bar wasn’t moving the sear far enough to left the hammer fall. I cleaned the internals well and the issue was gone. Shot about 250 rounds in one session after that with no problem.
  13. It's open. The covered lines and AP range are open, some shotgun and long rifle ranges are closed. The two 100 yard covered lines are shut down because they are replacing the baffles.
