You seem to have missed the part where I was talking about a 10-12 year old car, NOT a new one. ;)

I don't disagree. The last one I drove was a 5th gen and it was underwhelming. Pathetic power delivery for a 4.0L (270hp / 278lbft). I would have expected minimum 300hp and ~330-350lbft for that...

Sell/trade in the CR-V for a ~10-12y/o 4Runner and you'll break even or end up with a few grand in your pocket, stop worrying, be happy.

Seriously, buying new or a couple year old vehicle is such...

Agreed. I had one with all four caliber conversions. Sample of one of course. No matter what I tried, parts replacements, etc. it just never functioned well in anything except either the .32 or .380...

CoC can certainly be useful in building grip strength or improving a deficiency. The problem I find with them is people's inability to pay attention to what they're doing and be smart about it. It's...

SP2340, which was the original in this model line (SP2009 was the 9mm variant). They're just a bit different in a few components but, still largely the same gun. Personally, I find these earlier ones...

I'm loving that module I bought from you! If you ever decide to sell these as a side gig, I think a lot of people would be willing to pay good money for them. The work you did is impeccable! IMO, it...

To change gears and say something positive, one thing I like the looks of with this module is it appears the grip is somewhat reminiscent in shape to the HK USP grip, which I like quite a bit. Simple...

Hey, at least it isn't another new t-shirt or pair of sunglasses! ;) jk

Of course! BHP as well. In terms of actual compacts, though, can't think of too many from that era (let's say '20s and '30s) that still have some degree of factory or aftermarket support, parts...

Putting it in perspective, it is a 95 year old design. Yes, far from optimal in comparison to more modern offerings of course. However, personally, I think it's kind of impressive that they're still...

I'd buy one for nostalgic purposes. That said, the P230 in .32 is the pinnacle of 7.65 PPK design. ;)

Another component I've used for improving extraction and can recommend is the White Sound H.R.E.D. I've used it on several problematic Gen3 guns that had particularly weak and inconsistent extraction...

In addition to what everyone else said, try swapping the stock barrel back in to see if you can isolate the problems to that one component. Some of what you've described sounds like a barrel fitment...

It's most likely one of two frog species; the Rio Grande Chirping Frog (E. cystignathoides) or a Cliff Chirping Frog (E. marnockii). Just like your attached MP3, I hear the same exact thing in my...

Correct. There's only one edge case I know of. Early slides prior to ~'97-98 have a smaller relief cut for the disconnector. This is at least the case for the old .40s&w slides, but I'm not 100% sure...

Eh, it's all what you make of it. It's a hell of a lot better than the now defunct idea of ~3-5 major news networks that force feed everyone a controlled set of viewpoints. They pump out viewers that...

Thank you for that, seriously. Learning has occurred. Damn, it's still morning and I've already become "that guy" for the day. ;) Went ahead and signed up for the wait list as penance. Learn from my...

I still don't see any reason why this couldn't have been injection molded and about $20-40, mass produced, sold at every big box store and Bass Pro that carries holsters. I mean, experimenting with...

I am really liking the Howies Pro tape! It's not the most grippy but, it adds something worthwhile to otherwise slick polymer frames and even a few metal-framed guns I've tried it on. The thing I...

In my opinion the audience for that article represents a few thousand people at best. Fair enough if that was the intent. There's somewhere between 100-150M gun owners in the US and ~900K LE last I...

Yep, it sure does. They're fantastic guns for what they are. This one is a .380 with the fairly uncommon 15 round mags. Between the soft recoil of that plus the Armory Craft flat trigger, that thing...

Correct. MIM in and of itself is not necessarily a problem. Porsche (and I think BMW or Mercedes) even uses MIM in certain engine components. MIM can be done in a quality manner. With HK, for...

I'm sure the stock internals will be just fine. I'm just salty from my experience a decade ago. Most of the problems I've seen seemed to be with P229's and P226's from roughly the ~2010-2014 era,...

Between Gray Guns, Armory Craft, and The Sig Armorer you can now replace almost all of the critical fire control parts (e.g. trigger, hammer, hammer strut, sear, etc) in a classic SIG with higher...
