Shot the P938 last night. I liked it a lot. A tad too small for my big ass hands. It is very similar to the Kimber Micro 9 which I only handled before never shot. Checked out the new 365 - apparently these are extremely popular at the moment. I like that its got a 10 round mag. Shot the Glock 43 - It was nice, but I wouldn't want to carry it. I just need to buy something now lol.

the two o-rings/seals on the maf are also very important...

lol thats how long it takes me to install shit on mine lately too i am getting close though. very.

Very nice - no concern of not having an airbag? Just curious... I saw the side seat bolster and looked back at your photos to see a photo of the seats installed because I couldn't remember - awesome! How have the seats held up?

Wait, weight is of concern? We drive mid 90's Volvos...

Yay Matt!

Tim open the PDF "JA Volvo" added above your post... it works great!

nice work

Haha so it's not just me. I can't imagine how often it would dump on me if I practiced drawing and firing - my buddy told me not to be a klutz of which I followed up with "I truly hope then it never happens to you" - he hasn't drawn and fired yet either... NEVER want to be scrambling picking up a magazine off the ground. Havent taken any targets home yet honestly. I have absolutely nothing to show, yet. I'm sure I will soon start to record a bit - distance/gun/ammo used. In other news - went to the local shop during my lunch break and held a P938 - I dont know if it's for me. Although beautiful and fit well, I am not trained or comfortable enough carrying single action-cocked and locked... I would need to handle this gun more to decide for sure. And new I think it was $750 :( The dealer I spoke with was a glock fan boy so I listened - I honestly liked the 46 (dont know gen) but its got some shit I am not sure about too. I will rent some more again soon and keep trying some 9's before I buy! :)

shot a hk vp9 tues. didnt like it. it was pretty, good feel, but pricey compared to others i have like better and the fucking mag release is stupid. also a kid next to me was shooting playing cards in half.

I'll text him about this for you... I think he will still have the photos. This is a DIY we all need to do lol

Glock 19X. Thoughts as a CCW? Think it will be a limited production pistol? I read it was up for military bid and they chose something else so...

Going to the indoor range tomorrow after work - I'll print Chuck's shared target... can't guarantee anything haha

Um. I wont even ask. Wont you dont know... wait... IT WILL HURT ME!

I made that blue for ya Mikey^ Yeah - the number is low for those that 'pack their own' but I bet its higher than you think. I also know that if things were limited, some would then learn how to, and buy the equipment to do it themselves... Buying your rounds at the range - not a bad idea. Then they check your bag when you leave to ensure you aren't leaving with any? Chuck is on a different level if he's using that target he posted haha

Here's a long rambler: Chuck, I like your post. I'll play... my comments are to the subject, not directly to you... but I do like what I highlighted in bold above^ First, my heart hurts for those that have lost lives due to gun violence most recently. I can't imagine the pain. I don't have an answer. I have opinions on the current rules/state of things that could, in my opinion help prevent future mass shootings. For the record, I am not a NRA member and have absolutely zero interest. I own a few guns. I know nothing about politics. I am not, and my immediate family is not, in law enforcement. I am pro-firearms to an extent... I do not believe people should be able to possess automatic weapons. Leave them to law enforcement and our military. Yes I know, its not that easy. Yes I know semi-automatic guns kill too. How does the government get them back? How does the government stop those from modifying their weapons, Printing weapons, buying them black market... I don't know. It's my opinion/ a comment, so back off! I think we could do a better job when it comes to background checks, and grace periods. If you want a gun, prepare to be investigated first. Yes, that is easy for me to say being a white male, clean record, able to afford them, blah blah. Prove that you are capable of properly owning a weapon. I know, this takes time. It costs money. It is invasive. Too bad. I do not like the idea of arming educators. I can't remember if I read it here or not but most teachers already have too much on their plate, and nearly every teacher I've ever had, with the exception of my 12th grade history teacher/former cop that used to scare the shit out of us, aren't capable of properly wielding/protecting a weapon in their possession 100% of the time. Run-on sentence but fuck it. My wife is a teacher, I am biased - her lack of pay, her work load, her responsibilities - they just can't have a gun too. She's not a fan of me going to the range - it's her opinion though, and she is easy going and lets me do my thing. I don't get a guilt trip and so I don't wave the guns or talk about it too much around her. I would like her to know how to use my pistols properly but I can't force her. She can't force me to do fucking yoga so we are even. Her school is always locked. You need clearances just to visit her classroom during the school day. I don't know how the Florida shooter got into that school but the school should have been locked. I understand folks don't want metal/screening at all entry ways - I haven't made my mind up on that yet but I know it will be costly. Without metal detectors someone coming into the school in the morning like a teacher or student could still have a gun on them... but we can still lock the doors at all other times. Like Chuck, I have fond memories of my Grandfather trying to teach me hunting techniques/rifles etc. When I was born he bought me the ruger 22 lr I have today. It was his intention to do competitions etc. with me when I was young and unfortunately he passed too soon, and my parents weren't into it and don't like guns so that never really got traction. Long story short, my uncle (grandfathers brother) (gun collector - pressed his own bullets - has 50+ guns - was a little bit of a 'prepper') tried teaching me or bonding over hunting/guns and I was then a teen brat and resisted. Only a few years ago did I realize that he just wanted to fulfill something my grandfather always wanted to do with me. I was too late again. I have taken a slow and reserved interest in it over the last few years as something I just never got to do or fully learn/respect. I have my handguns essentially because they have been passed down to me. I enjoy the sport of target shooting. I like the idea of having a gun in my home if I needed to defend myself or my family. I would push the same button Chuck would push if it were possible... This is a good point... but, you still can get your buddies to buy their limit too and give it to you, you can steal the ammo, you can make it yourself. You can drive from one wal-mart to the next. You can buy all the rounds you want over an extended period of time. Most of these shooters have been motivated... not sure this would have stopped them. But, honestly, I can make that argument to my comments above too... Another thought was legal purchasing age... across the states: 21 (This is for purchasing only) You aren't able to buy beer till 21. You aren't able to buy some green stuff till 21...

wow good work diagnosing/pulling that from the rail

You can have my engine with the rest of the car for $20k ^^

Nostalgia.... Awesome work dude! How did you fair at that 'cars and coffee' next to an R8 and among some literal super cars haha? Any interest there in your R?

indeed he does - good idea

i honestly like those seats - i think they look well done in the photos. the car now needs some other subtle blue accents tho...

looks pretty!

What turbo are you going to go with?

anymore.

true. I go to trade shows as well and at times drag two huge pelican cases - didn't think of that, you are right.
