I had pretty much the same gun but with a 6" barrel and sold it (stupid, stupid, stupid) for $625 a couple years ago. I can only imagine it's worth more now. And that was without a box. Phenomenal gun. My only consolation is that I still have a 4" nickel 19-5, but no TH, TT, and not P&R. :/ Buy it, whatever it takes. Enjoy it for the rest of your life. :-)

I love Gene Simmons creeping into the pictures. That guy is everywhere! :-D

Think of it this way (and tell your liberal buddies) that they are removing a democrat from the $20 and replacing him with a gun-toting Republican. :-)

Praying for her, and the entire family/friends supporting you both.

No combat expert here... just a guy who is happy with his M&P10 which is close to 1k rds without a hiccup yet from anything I've put through it.

I affirm nightrunner's account. One of my good church buddies is a driver for Nissan and does the function testing. Every vehicle gets driven a fair bit before it gets loaded on a truck. I cannot believe the "no fluid" or even "barely enough fluid" theory.

That's news to me. How do they do the test drive and inspection with no engine oil, transmission, or steering fluids? Let alone drive the vehicle onto a carrier, then off again at the destination? Legit curious where this info is coming from. I'd understand not being full of wiper or blinker fluid, ya know... the non-essentials. (Though I imagine they still lube the muffler bearings so the test drives are quiet.)

For a short period of time I worked in consumer affairs at Nissan. In cases like this, we would often offer an extended warranty to "restore faith" in the vehicle and brand. Also, depending on the case, a service program (oil changes for a year or two, etc) might be offered. I agree, you may not be "entitled" to goodwill. However, a major part falling off your BRAND NEW vehicle should warrant some gesture on behalf of the manufacturer, imho. It will also show up in their financials eventually. High goodwill costs will put pressure on them to find problem areas and work to "stop the bleeding."

RIA makes 10mm 1911s that won't break the bank. Just for fun you could look for a Smith 10xx series gun. Sweet guns. Beware of certain Delta Elites with unsupported chambers. They don't tend to mix well with the full power ammo I expect you'll carry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_1006

Sweet!

I'm excited about it. I've never hunted before, except for one day in a dove field that had a "no fly zone" over it last fall. A friend is taking me to a fellow church member's property where they seem to have good luck most of the time. We'll see how it goes!

K so I forgot my Pro is a with a friend right now. Sorry I'm useless to you today. :/

I'll try to remember to check mine when I get home later tonight.

That's exactly what I thought about as well, pump once - shoot twice seems like a recipe for a royal screw up, imho. Nifty concept though, for sure.

Will the shop not even send it back to Century for you? Most reputable shops will at least do that.

Praying with you. One of the best young men I know graduated high school 2 years ago and joined the service. He is a great American and a proud soldier, a tanker. He is currently in South Korea. I pray for him often, especially whenever that area is mentioned on the news, etc. I will add your sons in there from now on.

Fer real. Before Protech, the most I had ever spent on a knife was $35 or so. Don't worry, Willis... I'm sure TGO will help fund your retirement. ;-)

I bet they show up RREEALLLYYYY well through NVGs!

That's not nearly as much fun as shooting them, but yes, throwing guitars can be satisfying, too. Flung a V one time... that was cool. It really WAS a flying V for about 4 seconds. Then it wasn't.

It was a chinese knockoff ;) I've also turned a few Kramers into sawdust.

You will get more smoke, and possibly leading in the bore depending on your load. Both aren't deal breakers, but things to consider. I pretty much only shoot lead outside. I use plated 75-80% of the time. Not as cheap as lead, not as expensive as FMJ, but pretty much all the benefits of fmj.

It's more fun to squeeze a magazine of ammo INTO them! ;-)

Yup. Shoot em. My neighbor, the IT professional, diagnosing a problem with a laptop. Wifey punishing a toaster. What's left of said toaster after I fed it 13rds of 00buck in about 10 seconds. Being the main shooter and fun documenter, I rarely get pics of me shootin stuff... this is the best I've gotten so far. Anyways, all of that is to say... shooting stuff is SO much fun! I have neighbors and friends from church give me their old computers, phones, printers, etc. Way better than paper targets!

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' bout! Gitchoo a new one! Sometimes that's the best answer. ;-)
