I don't care if it's faster, I'm not making money shooting so I want what's most effective in returning the gun to battery. A few fractions of a second aren't relevant. And it's the same motion used when clearing a malfunction.

Don't use the release, pull the slide back with support hand and let it sling shot.

There are many occasions in which I've thought to myself.... "one well placed grenade...."

Modest ammo orders over $49 ship free. I don't know what the cut off is as far as bulk ammo. I've gotten nearly 1000 rds (not all the same caliber) shipped free on previous orders with similar terms. Bulky/heavy items are typically flagged as such.

    I've been EDC'ing one for many years, it's nice.  The release lever for tool lock addresses your issue with the supertool (I have one of those too). 

If you sign up for their emails, they send out free shipping codes pretty routinely. 

Exactly. It's easier when you're still drunk from the night before. The 11am classes were the tough ones.

I've used Bill's Outpost for transfers with no issues.  I'd also call there and stop by Farnsworths to see what they've got.    Gunny's....   :shake:     It's a range and that's about it. 

Welcome!

I fully agree that Flukes are hard to beat.   I have one of these and it's worked very well for my basic home/hobby repair sorts of needs for several years.  http://www.amazon.com/Extech-EX330-Autoranging-Multimeter-Thermometer/dp/B000EX0AE4/ref=lp_15707471_1_9?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1455540900&sr=1-9

Welcome!

That explains a lot. ;)

Indeed. I've enjoyed that odor as well. And it doesn't go away. It'll stay on your hands for days.

Agreed. Unless you live in a growing housing market, a house is no longer your "best investment" as it was once called, especially since mortgage rates are so low. If you can afford to pay extra, do so. If the extra you pay would otherwise go into other (retirement) investments, then I'd invest it.

The bearings in the front diff in my trailblazer died a couple years ago. Some genius designed it so not only are the bearings not serviceable, you also have to take the whole damn front end apart to replace it. I had a Jasper diff installed and it's been fine for about 20k miles. I thought long and hard about getting rid of it, but the used car market being what is, was unable to find a suitable replacement for a similar cost.

What they said. Your builder was cheap (just like mine) and not only used the cheapest wire, he also put everything on one circuit. Breakers are designed to protect the wiring, so just arbitrarily increasing the breaker size is a recipe for disaster. What you have to do is run an extension cord from somewhere else to power the 2nd appliance (shop vac, etc.). Or hire an electrician to rewire it so that you've got an adequate amount of power available in the garage. Personally, I think the plumber wired my house. There's no way anyone who called themselves an electrician would have done the exceedingly stupid things I've found. I dread any electrical project because it's like opening Pandora's box. Every time I've done anything, I've found either something really stupid, a blatant code violation, or both.

Cool stuff! Love me some milsurps.

Nope, it's stinking badges. Movie reference.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e1lyNt5km8U

I've had good luck with both Leathermans and Gerber.  Basically, I want the smallest one that has both pliers and scissors.  Currently, that's a Leatherman Wave.    As for your screwdriver and wire cutters.... take a file to them.  I've bent/broken the tip of the flat head screwdriver on a couple occasions.  I just file it back flat and keep going.  You could do the same to remove the burr from the wire cutters.

    Indeed, sucko.  Can you take any sort of anti-inflammatory?  If you haven't already, you might try something like Flonase.  I find it works quite well for opening up my head so it'll dry out and get better. 

    Agreed.  Bigger just means heavier and more weight for the shocks to control.  Adding unsprung mass is never a good thing as far as suspension performance.  Personally, I like smaller wheels and more side-wall on trucks.  Dropping back to 18's with the same diameter tire will make them look bigger without actually being bigger.  ...  a trick we wish could be applied to other things...
