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.

What did you previously have against Glocks? Or was it against the obnoxious fan boys who can't accept there are other reliable hand guns lol.

Yes, you nailed it for me! It's the fan boys lol. Plus, in my opinion, the glocks have more of a square feel and the Springfield is more comfortable in my hands. Nothing against them, I know they are very reliable and proven guns

Haha that's it for most people myself included. The fan boys are obnoxious no other way to describe them. My first pistol was actually a XDm 4.5" 9mm but then I got a G19 to replace it. Between the two ive grown to like the Gen4 G19 a lot more because of the beaver tail backstrap.

The endless line of Glock people who won't give credit to anything else, it just drove me away. Their leader was my brother. Because he knows everyting.... yup.

 

I've changed my mind since owning one. Great gun. It'll fire everything I put through it. I'm impressed.

 

Just wist i had trijicon sights

Trijicon HD night sights are the way to go in my book. I believe Santa is bringing me some for my Hk!

I was the same way. Then I wanted a 10mm and well I've had that one and only Glock for 2 years now. If someone comes out that can compete with the G20 in price and reliability bye bye Glock. Still hate the feel of Glocks, nothing against their function/reliability, just uncomfortable.

10mm 1911 would be a great option. Yes it is going to be more expensive but you have to realize you are being very unrealistic that anyone else will come out with a cheaper 10mm. Check out this kimber.

I like how compact my 30S is. Light enough that my pants stay up, thin enough for a double stack that the grip doesn't feel like a brick.

The 30S is a great firearm for concealed carry. I personally prefer 9mm these days but, my 2nd favorite is still 45acp, I only have a 1911 that runs those big 'ole hunks of lead right now but, my short list is to add a midsize 45 double stack but, doubt it will be a glock only because I exclusively shoot my own re-loads and I am cheap so I only shoot lead bullets, not jacketed and glocks don't run those old fashioned bullets.

I'm the same way, I even go so far as to cast my own projectiles too. Yet another reason I mostly stay away from Glock although lead is only a problem if it's their proprietary barrel. If it's their non octagonal or whatever it is then it's fine for lead. Also depends on the hardness and how fast you're pushing them too.

Yes I don't expect anyone go $400 for a 10mm but I'm also not going to spend more on a 10mm than I did my 44 mags. This might be sacrilege but I'm really not much of a 1911 fan and again damn if I'm paying north of $1k for a woods/fishing gun. There are other plastic gun makers that could have made a 10mm just as cheap as glock and I'd have gotten one of those instead. The only other gun I saw in the price range were a couple EAA guns but I read about them having too many problems.

You fire non-jacketed bullets in an auto? I've only done that with wheel guns.

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

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
