  1. The city I worked in allowed you to have the person you borrowed the car to come to the next scheduled court date. If they failed to show you got another notice and you, the RO, had to come back to court.
  2. A radar wave can transmit for miles. While unlikely, some areas will have radar drones, and not the flying kind, but these transmit a radar signal for various reasons. Sometimes the reason is to just give a false alarm.
  3. I spent five years as a master RADAR and LiDAR Instructor. First, I do not know of any laser speed measurement devices that are used with speed cameras. I am not going into details because it’s lengthy but it just wouldn’t work well. Most of the speed cameras are not even radar but measure points; the time it calculates for a vehicle to travel between points. These points are often 20’ and depend on light to cast shadows. It’s strange but it works very well. That’s why some radar detectors do not alert to speed cameras; they aren’t radar. Its been eight years since I worked at a department with speed cameras, but here is how it worked with our department. At the end of the day we viewed the recorded violations and deleted any false, questionable, or unwanted violations. We, certified officers, signed off on each violation that we wanted to mail a citation. We mailed the recording to a private company who downloaded the violations onto an internet link. The company mailed the violations to the offenders via certified mail. It provided a picture along with a link to view the violation in real-time. It stated your options. 1. Pay $50 and it will be dealt with as civil and not points or insurance reporting. 2. Appear on the mandatory court date provided. The disclaimer was payments not received in X amount of days would require a mandatory court appearance. Failure to appear on the mandatory court date could result in a FTA and a revoked drivers license. They did revoke some license for failure to appear but some they did not for various reasons. I don’t really know most of the reasons. I was in court one day and a woman came in who said she committed the violation but couldn’t pay or wouldn’t pay. The city attorney said there wasn’t a thing the city could do. She appeared, but refused to pay.
  4. I appreciate everyone’s help.
  5. The paper faces down towards the vapor barrier and the pink insulation faces up towards the roof. I don’t know if that is what you are describing or not. The plan is to have the insulation ripped out, and the wood sprayed with Borate. There is not any wood decay and very little fungus. Then the vapor barrier will be replaced. I am wanting to avoid replacing the insulation. Is there a requirement for there to be insulation in the crawlspace?
  6. There is a partial vapor barrier now and a new one will be installed. The fiberglass faces up towards the floor. No water coming into to the crawlspace.
  7. I have heard others say that too. I appreciate it. The moisture in the crawlspace really isn’t bad but some of our closets would get mildew. Someone hinted that the insulation could be to blame.
  8. Is it required for there to be insulation in a crawlspace? I’m selling my old house, and I am going to get the crawlspace treated. They want to rip out the insulation; I believe it has caused moisture issues inside the house anyway. I am just trying to budget if I need to replace the insulation.
  9. GT’s is saying they are $359 for everyone.
  10. And Glock is serious when they make that threat. I did get a hint; we’ll sort of. They said don’t be expecting a revolutionary breakthrough because this isn’t it.

    Glock 17 Mags

    Yes!
  12. I thought I mentioned this already. Most of the time if it is the last round in the mag it is an inertia feed and almost always because the slide is outrunning the mag. Sometimes a stronger mag spring masks the problem if a stronger recoil spring doesn’t take care of it. This is not the sound of extractor tension being the culprit; we normally see that with rounds throughout the entire magazine. A dirty or wet mag can also contribute to inertia feed.
  13. One more thing, 1911 mags should be dry as a bone and as free of dust and dirt as possible. The mags needs to be extremely dry.
  14. It’s worth a trip back to RIA. They will eventually get it running or send you a new one. What happens if you load one round into a mag and try to release the slide? Does it go into battery 100 times out of 100? I really believe you are experiencing the dreaded inertia feed. An extended magazine release will do nothing.
  15. Have an experienced 1911 shooter try it and with different mags while you are at it. Wilson Combat mags are ok. Many of us have taken Wilson Combat mags and replaced the springs with TrippCobra springs and/or followers. Also, unless your NGeorgia ammo kaboomed the 1911, RIA will never know remanufactured ammo was shot. In fact most of NGeorgia Reloading ammo is made from virgin brass anyway. They are an ATF licensed ammo manufacturer. I’m not a fan of N Georgia Reloading; I have seen many failures mostly because of weak ammo. Which WC mag do you have?
  16. I have a CVA in .243 and love it. I bought it because it was recommended by a friend that had a 45-70 and used it over about a half dozen other rifles in his safe.
  17. I will happily meet you at your range or mine and we try some known to work mags in your and try your mags in my known to work 1911.
  18. I would probabbly just write it off as a tight, new gun. And stick with ammo it has known to like. I recently acquired a 1911 that does the exact same thing but only with my handloads and 230 cast bullets. It has not done it with several different brands of ball ammo and several hollow points.
  19. Those 129 gr Hydro shocks have never expanded in any test I have ever seen. The HST micro is a good load though.
  20. I’m not too up on 624 values but I believe it may be worth $1k.
  21. Well, I guess any of those fears of losing JP to Bama when Sabin leaves are dismissed.
  22. I cut my ties with UT Football about a decade ago. Even Dooley was able to hand Ga State a loss. I don’t believe UT even practiced in the preseason or even prepared for Ga State.
  23. I have some of the ring products. My only complaint is about a 12 second delay sometimes in being able to pull up the alert.
  24. My dad carried a few American Derringers through the 80s and 90s. I have shot about a dozen derringers in my life and owned a few. I had the opportunity to shoot a 45-70 a few years ago and regret that I passed. I prefer the American Derringer but find the Bond ok. To me they shine as a back up to a rifle or large handgun nothing small is chambered in like 45Colt, 44 mag, 10mm, or maybe 45acp. My 45 Win mag wasn’t really all that bad. I would say 38 spl is the most powerful you would shoot for fun in a regular basis.
  25. Agreed! Sig to hell and back...
