There are folks trying to make lightsabers, but they appear to be nothing more than high performance plasma torches.... So again the gun grabbers in their zeal to make utopia by trampling peoples rights, if you straighten the end of a plasma torch you should go to prison.

Go to the Springfield Armory Store and search. I think the only optics cut slide I saw available is the XD-M Elite for 9mm only. I sent my slide for my XD-M .45ACP to Power River Precision for them to make the optics cut in it, it cost less than a new slide would. Don't know if they do cuts for...

115 or 147 is going have to be different lengths and it is length that dictates the twist, is it enough to require a different rifling twist, I don't know. What I can find in some quick searches is just other forums with people relating their own knowledge that could just be opinion. But the...

Its called Viral Attenuation, as the virus mutates it weakens and becomes less lethal. Likely we will never end COVID, notice we haven't ended the Flu or the Common Cold, it will only become another flu we have to deal with every year. And yes, the elderly and small children die of the flu every...

I have to wonder, perhaps the variety of ammunition in 9mm Luger has something to do with pistols coming with different rifling twist? Could it be subsonic 9mm, 147 gr 9mm, suppressed 9mm, NATO or +P needs a different twist? That is why you see some 9MM pistols coming in different twist rates...

The rifling twist is determined by the round that will be used and its the proper twist that will stabilize the bullet in flight. To little or too much will cause the bullet to wobble or tumble. And while the mass of the bullet is a big factor, an even bigger factor is the length of the bullet...

Just over the border from me in Virginia is Big Dog Outfitters. They have a gun smith that created a replica of the Han Solo Blaster, looked just like the prop. He built around a WWI Mauser which is what the prop started as well. Big Dog Outfitters makes a killing selling high capacity...

I have the powder river precision trigger kits on my XD-M .45 ACP and my XD-M Elite OSP 10mm, I also ordered the springs for my XD-M Elite OSP Tactical 9mm, that has the Meta Trigger. The trigger kits for the XD-M's are amazing, you have several options in springs to reduce the trigger pull...

Its been just short of a year ago that I installed this myself, so its going to be rather vague in my memory. As well, without seeing your actual pistol I really am not going to be much help diagnosing what could be wrong, especially with such a brief description. A couple of things, have you...

Think back to H.S. Physics.... Kinetic Energy = 1/2 X Mass X (Velocity)Squared KE=1/2MV^2 Yes, Kinetic Energy isn't the end all and only measurement of the damage a round can do, just as important is how much energy you can impart on the target to do damage. But Kinetic Energy is a big factor...

Ahh, that makes total sense..... My first time every shooting was military training on the 1911.... And it was a very humbling experience and did immediately filter out the natural shooters from those that needed to "learn" how to shoot.... The gal next to me was hitting the target every shot...

In Old_Me defense he made a casual reference to "Service Needed" lights going off in vehicles at a certain mileage to remind you to do required periodic maintenance. Just like is needed in you firearms. I pointed out the many of the latest vehicles have an algorithm that adjusts the maintenance...

I'm convinced the Springfield Armory XD-M is the most underrated and undiscovered pistol on the market. If you compare the available pistols chambered in 10MM, it comes out as the top one IMO. I am seeing more and more reviews comparing 10MM stating the XD-M is their favorite. I have 3 of...

9MM more Velocity! Its the KE that makes it deadly! .45 ACP more Mass! Its the mass and size that gives it knockdown power. Plus the 9MM cartridge is smaller, you can carry more in the same space! 10MM nearly as much mass as .45 ACP and the same Velocity as 9MM, significantly more KE than both...

And what is this chosen interval that works for you? Cause that was my point, from your vague description you may be doing a lot of highway miles and that likely means a longer than typical recommended interval might be very appropriate. A guess this is a concept too many folks just can't seem...

Is the slide going to be shaped something different than a brick with the corners ground down? Will the trigger be any better than a heavy, gritty long pull double action? Ok, Safe Action. Will it come with actual metal sights instead of plastic? Ok, Glocks didn't get to be as popular as they...

18-20 vehicles in the last 20 years? That is a new a vehicle every year to barely more than a year. Do you drive 200k miles a year? You not going to see accumulated engine wear on a car a year or two old and if you're driving 200k miles a year, that would have to be mostly highway miles. Years...

I don't understand why you are being so defensive. I merely pointed out the vehicle service reminders have gone to a conditions and usage based algorithm in many vehicles and not simply a mileage counter. But very well, I'll guess I'll get in my high flaughloutin fancy and expensive Dodge...

These were Dodges and Jeeps running algorithms in their engine computer..... The daughters that goes by straight mileage, is a Nissan. Its not the sensors, no more than is necessary to control and engine under current OBDII mandates, its the software and the development that they put into the...
