Just curious, what ammunition did they issue with the G17s? And will the department keep the same series of ammunition when switching to the G21s?

I've used Pennzoil Synchromesh many times in my Honda manuals. I always thought it shifted better than the OEM fluid, even when cold. It isn't particularly thick and should be a good lubricant for many miles, I would leave it in there. The motor oil recommendation for these transmissions was...

Given the budget, I'd say get a used Honda Fit with a manual transmission. It should meet all your requirements and can haul lots of camping/outdoor gear.

From what I can tell based on the revisions, after the -9 guns it looks like S&W is just using a 38 special cylinder while still retaining all of the features of the magnum guns. This can also been seen on some S&W 640 models. The NYPD ordered a run of S&W 640s that were chambered in 38 special...

Hopefully some of this will be more salient. The Model 60 and 640 had their frame window lengthened to allow the longer cylinder which would chamber 357 magnum starting with the -9 in the 60 and the -1 in the 640. However, the original steel framed guns (the Model 36, and pre-9 Model 60s, pre-1...

It's not unusual for S&W to continue to use the larger windowed frame and still build the firearm with a 38 special chambered cylinder. This was most recently done with their 360J guns. The frame is rated for .357 but the barrel is stamped for .38 special and it is equipped with a cylinder only...

The purpling on the extractor is somewhat "normal". It's common on older HKs and tends to settle in with age. I've had a USP 45 Compact since new, it's getting to be 10 years old now and I'm starting to notice a slight bit of change in the hue on the extractor. It doesn't affect function...

Thanks for the update. I'd be interested in a follow up if you get the chance to completely torture it, similar to what happened to the LPX in your earlier post. Pics or it didn't happen.

Ws6, don't feed the troll. The guy is off the deep end and has resorted to name calling to try to make his point (there isn't one). Just let him be, he can't contribute anything else at this point. Just ignore him like I do and let him pound on his keyboard some more. I can say for a thread...

Originally Posted By: Ws6 I try different things, and note trends. I was looking at weaponshield due to my friendship with George, as well as the EP ad pack it has. It has a legit EP ad pack. I was simply curious if anything else did, in the firearm industry, and maybe even surpassed it. The...

OK. So I just have this one question remaining. You mentioned that you wanted to try Weapon Shield based on the EP relationship with the chamber and bolt lugs on the AR. I understand this and it makes sense to me from that standpoint. But that Canadian test (thanks for the link, already had a...

Great post, I actually understood all of that too. I also understand that suppressed means a lot of gas/fouling coming back through the barrel, not just through the gas system. I think maybe I mis-read your original post here. You asked us if we knew of anything with better wear prevention than...

Originally Posted By: Ws6 In short, I do not see how you can claim that the lugs are the issue. I am not arguing that the WS solved your problem, as I do not wish to call someone a liar who I have never met, when I have never seen or observed their sitation. No, I am simply saying that I think...

First off, I don't want you to think this is a "hey, I'm going to pick on billt460 thread." You've obviously made your choice and you feel very strongly about it, that's your prerogative through and through. I'm not trying to change your mind. You replied first to one of my posts in this thread...

Originally Posted By: billt460 I convinced myself about Weapon Shield's positive properties in my above post about bolt lug lubrication. Uhm, this right here is my point. Evangelize all you want, it reads just like the guys that bought Frog Lube or Fire Clean 2 years ago. I still chuckle...
