    Who wants to see ugly? AKA. Worst staking I've ever seen?

    Perhaps we say worst looking, yet still functional staking job? It IS ugly! But, as you said, at least it is done and appears to be working. Agree!

    Worst staking job? Nope. The worst is when it is not done at all or so poorly it does not engage. Seen it multiple times. I would just lightly dress it with a file and call it a day.

    9mm handgun recommendation

    Holosun is a great optic! I doubt it is as durable as the Trijicon, but I don’t subject mine to military grade abuse.

    9mm handgun recommendation

    My mistake! It is a Trijicon RMR. I have a Holosun 507K on my FN Reflex. Brain fart

    9mm handgun recommendation

    So many choices, so little time... Having said that, my recommendation would be HK VP9SK. Small enough to carry (I do appendix). Big enough for home defense. I have to admit, summer carry with thin shirts is a no go so I move to a micro 9. In my case a FN Reflex, which is not CA compliant...

    Happy 50th! 1974 Triumph and 1974 BMW

    Thanks for the pics! That interior looks great. All functionality so as not to detract from the driving experience. Nice upgrades as well. The 318i wheels were a common change. Looks nice. I enjoyed reading DED as well as Peter Egan. My thoughts, visceral versus intellectual.

    Happy 50th! 1974 Triumph and 1974 BMW

    Beautiful looking 2002 tii. One of my all time favorites! Always wanted one, but the earlier version with the European bumpers and round tail lights. Owned a ‘84 318i from new to 195k. Fun sedan with practicality. That little 1.8l 107 hp engine would sing at high rpm. The 5 speed manual...

    How often do you wash your car in an automatic car wash?

    “Harsh chemicals from cars washes cause paint damage. I never go through car washes and rarely use chemicals. If you want paint to last, leave it alone. Just rinse it.” Respectfully disagree using my car as a study of one.

    How often do you wash your car in an automatic car wash?

    Been using a monthly subscription brush car wash 1-2x per week. Has an underbody spray. Car is a 2015 and looks great, even very closeup. I do use Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic spray about once a month because I enjoy it. Not sure it makes any difference but I get compliments all the time. I...

    My firearms should be greased or not question…..for the experts….

    On polymer guns I use oil. A very small amount is all that necessary. On my all steel 1911 I use grease. A great resource can be found on a forum dedicated to Sig pistols by a contributor who goes by the name Flork.
