I'm buying this handgun this week, primarily as a house-gun. Not for carry. Too big! But I think it will be perfect for home security protection.

 

Someone breaks in your house, middle of the night, you start sweating, hands shaking, a 410 shotgun shell has a pretty nice spray pattern so you don't have to worry too much about aim. And will get their attention real quick! (Makes a hell of a mess of your drywall though)...

 

Good size and weight.

 

Shoots 410's, .45 Colt & .45 ACP

 

I'm also getting the keypad lockbox for wall mount.

Same format as the Taurus public defender, which I think is a great gun with the PDX rounds. I considered for CHL but is an absolute beast to carry... Makes a great snake gun too with the 410 shells!

I looked and the Taurus Judge also. I just liked the S&W a little better. I'm going to do some test shooting at the Frontier Justice range this week with .45 rounds. This thing is a beast.

I don't know if I'd trust those 9mm shot rounds to cycle... I like the idea of shotshells in a revolver, .410 just seems a little small.

Chris, you are much better off with a standard hollow point round.

Those "shotshell" rounds are not very impressive and open up really quick. You would be lucky to get half of the pellets on a paper plate at 10-15yds........Stick to standard ammo. for defense.

 

Same goes for the .410 PDX rounds. They open up really quick. We were testing their pattern on pumpikns and the spread was terrible, they go all over the place rather quickly.

Not for defense. There are a lot of snakes that come out on the property during spring and summer. I have Winchester PDX-1 bonded hollow points for defense in house. I know those shot shells are for snake and rodent.

Headboard is curved at the top so there's about a 6" gap between the headboard and the wall. I'll put up a pic after I get it installed.

 

See pic...

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      They are talking about adding more tax to our fuel across Canada by the labour day time frame, its the carbon idiot tax increase on top of the pile of fuel taxes we already pay thanks to the WEF dictatorship running the country. 10 cents per liter on gas and 4 cents a liter on diesel I believe is what was said. That is a huge amount of a tax increase as its another 38 cents equivalent to a US gallon of gas. The reason our fuel is higher than the states already is because of of the high taxes they have imposed on fuel.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      This is just a thought as I can't claim this is the correct thing to do but will suggest it and you can decide if its something you would try. First round up some electrical contact cleaner spray as they at least claim its not supposed to damage the components ( brake cleaner depending on the type is a real destroyer of plastic etc ) and to use that to assist to clean out any grime from the pins as well as the mechanism by spraying and working the lever etc. Then my next thought is to use silicone spray lube and not on the pins but on the seal and the pivot assembly. It may not be possible to spray it on certain area's and have to use a q tip as Davestar mentioned to keep it from getting on the pins. Dielectric grease can be fine on some things but its easy to get too much on if not careful and then gunk things up and a possible risk of getting it on the pins or sockets. The silicone spray is able to get into a mechanical component to help lube and on surfaces its just a fine film to reduce friction such as that seal. Also it can be doused off with a good flush of the electrical contact cleaner the next time for a repeat of a "clean and then lightly lube" step process to wash off any dirt that had stuck to the exterior etc of the plug.   Free advice, yes. Good advice ... now there's the question mark !

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.
