      New 2024 Colt revolvers

      What's the market for another 9mm not-a-Glock that CZ doesn't already have covered with CZ offerings? There's no volume play there, the market is already saturated AF. But you know what market isn't saturated AF? Nostalgia plays to the Boomers and early Gen-Xers who have disposable income and...

      Should I have kept my mouth shut ?

      He definitely pulled the trigger on purpose. Look at his flinch response in his facial expression just before the shot breaks. If it was a staged suicide, he's a solid actor. My guess is he was making a video to show how "hard" he is and not scared of anything and didn't properly clear the...

      Same. Same reason I backpack, mostly.

      The Funny Picture/Video Thread, 15th Edition: Be more like Coleman.

      False advertising. Doesn't clean anything, just moves the mess around. Somewhat spectacularly, mind you. Broke after the first use.

      The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

      Motors are the question with the post I quoted and responded to: Huh. Probably why I said: C'mon, papaw, read the thread before commenting on my comment. :stickpoke:

      Indiana judge decides a taco is a sandwich. WTH?

      If a sub is a sandwich so is a hotdog and so is a taco. All the same thing, one bit of bread wrapped around the contents.

      The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

      Probably going to be all over the map, just like ICE motors are. 434k miles is the highest mileage original motor Tesla I've heard of, but obviously many have failed before that. Apparently a coolant look is what takes most of them out. Early Teslas had some issue with bearings that the motor...

      The Real Costs of Electric Car Ownership - CNET

      Largely because that's when they finally have the money (and/or credit) to do it. Probably in their prime earning years, children are out of the house, bought a house well before housing costs went insane, are old enough to have savings but young enough to not be burning through it for medical...

      Should I sell?

      Option 3: Buy another AR that likes 55gr

      That looks pretty interesting. I'll be in Lexington on Friday anyway, maybe see if I can add this in to the trip.

      I have been reinforcing my decision to never again fly in an airplane.

      Not sure if folks are seeing the news about Americans getting arrested in Turks and Caicos (island that's a British territory a bit northeast of Cuba) such as: https://abcnews.go.com/International/american-woman-charged-after-ammunition-found-baggage-turks/story?id=110276888 The arrestees are...

      What are you Reading?

      Gardens of the Moon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KYHZLQ/ This is a dark fantasy novel series and it's one that's not an easy read. Lots of characters with odd names that are difficult to remember who's who (handy cheat sheet at beginning of the book) and lots of factions. I like...

      I hate fraud

      Same thing happened to me back in February or so, exact same Amazon scam. My semi-informed opinion is it foreigners listing e-books or music or whatever digital content on Amazon, using hacked credit cards to buy their own goods, and pocketing the money. With some credit cards, you actually...

      Talk me out of .327 revolvers

      Big fan of the LCR. Not a big fan of full house .357 from one, personally, but also bought the .357 version for more comfortable shooting of .38+P. Were I not bound by employer rules to use expanding ammunition, I'd carry standard pressure wadcutters. I'm well past thinking lots of recoil is...

      Talk me out of .327 revolvers

      Everybody is different, but I can appendix carry a GP100 4" comfortably while hiking. I did swap out the monster Match Champion grips for compacts, though. Appendix is the absolute hardest to get right and is much more gear sensitive, slight position change sensitive, and...

      Talk me out of .327 revolvers

      Definitely before my time as an adult, but I'm familiar with it. Kind of a niche round that was able to exploit the .38's larger-than-necessary-for-modern-powder case volume and a heavier bullet that was slow enough in longer barrels to take advantage of it. Shorter barrels wasted the powder...

      Talk me out of .327 revolvers

      Real short version, the "potency" difference is minimal. Light and fast makes impressive energy numbers but doesn't tell you what that energy is used to do. Wounding potential is what we care about, and you can split the hairs either way but *I* would rather carry .38 wadcutters or .38+P Gold...
