Have you played with the set screw on the hinge? My HM3X is pretty solid.

Winchester 64 grain Power Point for deer. I figure if it's made for deer, it should work for 2 legged critters and they shoot really well in my gun. I think Winchester has discontinued it and replaced it with 64 grain Deer Season.

They would be the first truck I would look at if I were in the market for a new mid-size truck. A gimmick-free V6 engine with a geared transmission is not much to ask, but is rare nowadays.

I've never noticed a meaningful change in velocity when changing seating depth .010-.040. I think it's a lot of hype. Obviously, if you sink a bullet .25 deeper than normal, you may have created a grenade.

A guy at work recently learned the hard way that nobody works on Nissan CVT transmissions; they just replace them. His economical 2015 Altima work beater suddenly made a lot less sense.

I've always liked the Ridgeline and would drive the crap out of one. I hate that they added VCM that can't be deactivated. My 4Runner does well hauling two kids to a soccer tournament.

Nescafe instant decaf with a Swiss Miss hot chocolate pack. I would occasionally drink Stok cold brew before inflation. Everything else blows up my stomach.

I don’t get the point of the removable trigger module. Everybody thought they were the future when Sig put it in the 320, but they seem kinda gimmicky to me.

I think I just heard Bill Ruger turn over in his grave.

It would have terrible if one of those shots had missed the evil CEO and accidently hit Alvin Bragg.

The suspected hitman’s name is Luigi. Oh boy

Words or marks written with a Sharpie, if allowed to dry, will absolutely stay intact during firing. A lot of .38 Super shooters mark their brass with a Sharpie to know whose brass is whose.

I was talking about the actual shooting part and I think he was somewhat lucky, but if his plan included not getting caught, I would argue that the jury is still out. On the other hand, maybe this was a professional hit. The goofy gun, the words written on the ammo, and the shooter showing his face everywhere beforehand could be an attempt to make it look like a rookie vigilante with an axe to grind instead of something else (cue the Mission Impossible theme with Tom Cruise ripping off a mask…)

Was the live ammo marked or the empty cases?

He seemed to struggle with the gun after maybe the third shot. The fact that he left live ammo makes me suspect he had an unplanned malfunction. Planned malfunctions or unplanned, it seems like a lousy plan either way.

We obviously need common sense vet control laws.

Ditch ECO mode and I bet your troubles go away.

Speed Queen? We recently got a Speed Queen and had the same issue. I researched it and decided to stop using the ECO setting. Something about using less water on final rinse. No more suds. Now we use Permanent Press or Heavy Duty.

Makes sense, but it looks like he was struggling to eject one of the spent cases and he supposedly left behind three live rounds in addition to the empty brass. Maybe practice a little or make a couple dry runs first before the next scheduled assassination.

Yeah everybody’s saying it was a James Bond professional hit man. I think a pro would make sure his gun ran before attempting something that brazen.

The Para is simply a 1911 with a wider grip, but true 2011 style guns have a modular grip that is usually slightly narrower than Paras, Rock Islands, etc. I suspect that was half the point of even creating the 2011. I bet a 2011 with a short trigger would be a game changer for you. I wish you could try mine.

Assuming Kimber didn’t get all proprietary with it, you could put a 2011 medium or short trigger in it to mitigate any short fingers/trigger reaching problems caused by the fatter 2011 grip. If shopping for made-in-Bangladesh rubber gloves at Autozone, I’m looking for XL, but I have a short trigger in my 2011 because I like to shoot with almost just the tip of my finger. Putting a short trigger in the gun was easier than breaking this decades-old habit.

Makes perfect sense and I agree, but I was talking about a carry gun for ME.

1. It must run 2. It must run dirty 3. Small enough to carry, big enough to shoot - I despise pocket guns except for the rarest of occasions and even a non-XMacro 365 is too small for my tastes (I can hear the rocks coming at me). I would like to be able to take it to the local IDPA match and be competitive with it (in a non-BUG/pocket gun division). 4. Has to be easy to shoot accurately. Yes, the average gunfight is two shots at six feet or whatever, but average means there must have been higher round count gunfights and longer distance gunfights (see Eli Dicken). The guy who gets hit by lightning doesn’t want to hear about stats and odds. 5. Has to use a legitimate defensive round (at least .38 or 9mm). More rocks coming my way, but I have no need for a .380. Yes, I’m sure somebody’s grandfather once decked a cape buffalo with an 85 grain Silvertip, but that doesn’t make it prudent to buffalo hunt with one. Over and over again, I’ve seen .380s do things that left me unimpressed. I can hide a Glock 43 or a J-frame pocket gun about as well as I can hide a .380 and if it’s my ideal small enough to carry/big enough to shoot gun I described above, a .380 makes absolutely no sense. Don’t even get me started on the .32s. 6. Call me a pansy or a poof, but I see no need for an unnecessarily loud carry gun. No comp or full-house .357 for me. I’m hoping to keeps my wits in a would-be gunfight and I doubt eating a flash-bang will help. These features are what guide my carry gun choices. My carry gun over the past few years has been either a Glock 48 or a Springfield EMP4 in an IWB holster, but I’m about to start carrying one of the smaller Staccatos with (gasp!) a red dot.
