@Jdesign the forecast i found online looked a little different

[rampelsauce]

One of my Pirelli white Cheddar mac n cheese spooners is getting bald. Pls no more snow.

[Rekpoint]

Cant tell me it doesn't look good tho. 

Funny thing is I live 4 hours from you guys and we are not expecting any snow!

Really think its my fault

I'm going to give it a couple more weeks.  My summer wheels have Indy500 summer tires which felt a little loose one cold pavement.  And the Generals rip on the rally course, I mean gravel road I live on.

I bought an H&K VP9 for no reason other than I wanted one.

Much excitement to go shoot it.

That is all.

Just trying to run numbers through my head. What is the going price for an S52+ trans?

Being the resident HK shill, I have to say the VP pistols are striker fired garbage.  This is just an opinion.  I have several DA/SA hammer fired HK pistols and think they are great.  Can't stand the glock like striker fired stuff.  Maybe I'm just an old man.

My target was horrendous today, which was very confusing. I would put 5 rounds into a 2" group at 10  yards, then throw the next 3 by 5"+, then put the next two back in that grouping...

I like my Glock trigger, the HK felt good but was wildly inconsistent. I may need some more time with the sights to get used to it.

Hammer fired pistols have consistency, which is what I'm about.  Most HK's (hammer fired) dont need a match trigger because from the factory they're dialed.  I built a Beretta 96 with a Wilson Combat trigger and that so far is hard to beat.  Although my MK23 is pretty flat and amazing.  If you cant shoot one of those straight, you're the problem.

The theme is all DA/SA decocker.  Hammer fired semi autos rule.

look at the hole in the tab! holes are about the only thing i can make nicely in steel because there is a tool that makes them perfectly called a DRILL BIT.  someone email garagistic and tell them about drill bits, please.

attention to detail!!

Laser cut a bracket with holes complete easy and cheap don't need to drill, but laser burns oversize when you start the cut. All they needed to do is start laser off the finished edge, but that takes more time/money.

edit: looking at other pics, they look better.  but, for $18/pr cut and formed, that's cheap.   The adj. links for $60 look like a deal as well.
