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.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
