FN 509 Midsize. Great Glock 19-size pistol. I'll be ordering the holster for it this week.

I carry a Glock 19 with the NIB-X coated slide and a Glock 42. Once the Glock 43 hits my store I'll be picking one of those up as well.

Ironically enough, Maine always allowed open carry, but concealed carry was by permit only. Our state senate and house just passed constitutional carry for anyone 21 and over, but the governor refused to sign it until they amended it so that it allowed anyone who is 21y/o or is 18y/o and active duty in the military can constitutionally carry.......and they did amend it.

Ya, hopefully people are tasteful about it, not like cali, hints why they lost all OC

 

Cali's OC was a joke, all the activists at Starbucks and the like had to carry unloaded firearms I believe.

G22 at work, G43 off-duty

 

I was very hesitant about the 43 but after carrying it, I love it.

S&W Shield 9mm, or Sig P938, or Walther PK 380 (rarely). Have one on my side everywhere I go. Never gonna be a victim of a random act of violence again.

I don't know anything about the DE brand specifically but plenty of people carry 1911s. They're pretty narrow which helps with how they carry. The length, especially if you can carry IWB is practically a non-issue.

Mostly my P938 Scorpion.

Sometimes the P226.

Occasionally the G27 on my ankle.

Going to try a HK VP9 at the range tonight. If I like it I'll probably buy one.

Over the years, I've carried Smith M60s, Custom shortened (by me) 1911, Detonics Mk1 Combat Master, Fullsize 1911s, and lately the Sig P239.

 

I also have a Glock 40 cal double stack gun that a friend gave me as well. The plastic magazine is bulging from the spring pressure on the cartridges. A POS in my book.

 

The one that I was proud of was the custom shortened 1911 that I modified. It took me a good long while to figure out how to get enough recoil spring into that little thing. I ended up with a telescoping recoil rod with a spring inside a sleeve and then a spring on the outside of that. When the Detonics Combat Masters came along later, I bought one of those. The Detonics was almost the same size. That was my carry gun for a couple decades until it was stolen.

 

I tuned all of my guns, back in the day when I gunsmithed. The 1911s all got the usual ramp and throat, sometimes a Bar-Sto barrel or the factory barrels fitted with new links and bushings, trigger work, ejection port work, hand made or store bought slide extensions, etc. Wheel guns got slicked double actions.

 

I like the P239 for it's lightweight compared to the old steel framed guns. Probably not as light as a plastic framed gun.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
