I think I am going to buy a Sig M400 for myself with all the CA legal goodies, but my mom wants a handgun. She likes the feel of my 1911 in the grip, she thinks the Glock is too fat. She also wants a 9mm. I am not sure on what to get her or even show her. I also don't want to break the bank

You can get 1911's fairly cheap but 9mm's are cheaper. The 1911 .38 super is what I would personally go with over the .45 version but it also cost around 1k or more

Any specific reason she wants a 9mm? And my girlfriends hand fits my S&W 40 mp well, I know its wider, but it is a comfy grip for about 550-600.. also comes in 9mm. Same deal with the XD's.

Any friends with different calibers? Only reason I'm asking is the sketchy knockdown power of a 9mm in a bad situation, not sure of her uses/intentions of this gun.

Hobby/if someone gets in the house and I'm not home. I have the 1911 next to my bed and my room is right of the foyer from the front door

They make 1911s in 9mm. Though it wouldn't be my first choice for a HD pistol because of something goes down chances are you might not have the clarity of mind to flock off the safety so all my guns are DA/SA pistols or ones with passive safeties like the Glock.

Waiting periods are stupid, hats off to anyone who can tolerate living in the People's Republic of California.

I tolerate it, that is the key word... Tolerate. In Florida I had to wait 3 days for my 1911 and that wasnt bad. But for all guns here it is 10 days

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?

      BAK Revolver bed cover

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model.

      Tire fitment

      By JakeD · Posted

      I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
