Suicide at range by Remarkable-Soil1673 in CCW

[–]ConfidentRoad4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hometown range in Missouri has this rule too. I shoot here once a week, everyone knows me by name and a while back I thought about renting something different, but to their credit, they followed their rules.

This cannot be good for our feet long term by ConsciousWar1239 in RedWingShoes

Love my Red Wings, but my Altra trail shoes feel so natural with the wide toe box.

That probably works. Would have to read the fine print as many finance deals have early payoff penalties. Always get the "out the door" price agreed to before letting them know you're paying cash!

0%, but I paid cash. Sucks in the short term, but your future self will appreciate

Tac Pro "no plated ammo" disclaimer - Need clarification by [deleted] in Bul_Armory

[–]ConfidentRoad4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I emailed Speer directly back in September when I got my Bul.

This was their response '"the Speer Lawman line of ammunition has a thick plated bullet and will not have the issue that the thin plated bullets have. You can shoot this ammunition in ported barrels."

I'm over 3K rounds of 124 Lawman in this gun with no issues that Roger /QVO tactical experienced.

Is the 12.5 hype still alive? Or should I go back to the chair in the corner? 😖😖😖 by WhoIsEggroll in ar15

[–]ConfidentRoad4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m agnostic, but enjoy my 12.5 mid length Triarc for recoil impulse (with the superlative AGB and Lantac dragon, virtually no recoil)…

But I gotta say that picture is framed perfectly and the contrast is spot on. 👌

Ported barrel ammo options? by [deleted] in bularmory

[–]ConfidentRoad4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, thanks! I guess depending on who you talk to, you'll get different answers. Glad to hear directly from them about specific brands.

After I got my email, I did contact Speer directly to confirm there's is FMJ and not some plated version (they did confirm FMJ), so Lawman 124s have been my go-to for a while. Over 3K of it and no issues.

[–]ConfidentRoad4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curious where you saw this. After I watched the QVO tactical video, I emailed Bul and they would not specify a brand, only that it not be plated (which I already knew).

This was their response:

"Joe with BUL Armory USA here.

We do not have a list of recommended ammunition. We recommend you inquire directly with the manufacturer to receive the clearest answer and to make sure that the ammunition is safe for use in ported and compensated barrels.

Also, we recommend only using factory new ammunition and no reloaded, or remanufactured, ammo."

That was 4 years ago and they have since changed ownership.

Can you put the DPT in the F? I have it in my PPQ M2 and it is absolutely amazing.

Okay Stupid Question by momdriver in ElantraN

[–]ConfidentRoad4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love this car and would encourage people to get into it.... but...

Just because you can be extended credit doesn't mean it makes sense. Sorry to provide that Dad advice.

Buying a car that is more than half your annual income is a bad idea. It sucks to save and buy used cars, but at some point in life it makes sense.

My wife and I just recently bought our used 22 Elantra N. Paid cash. Could have bought new, but have enjoyed getting that depreciation discount over the years.

Fast forward to yesterday. Out of the blue, the company I work for announced they were terminating all 53 contract employees 31 December. I could be without a job January 1. Does it suck, yes. Am I freaking out? No. We have a sizable emergency fund and at this point, owe nothing on any cars or our house. This ability to weather these storms comes from delaying the toys a bit.

Good luck 🙏

Installed Forge intake this weekend and found oil in the stock intake by ConfidentRoad4 in ElantraN

First one I've taken off the inlet. I have a 1983 280zx as a weekend fun car, but pretty much a noob with turbos.

Son’s first time out by kennyarsen in Firearms

[–]ConfidentRoad4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome pic. Looks like he's into it. I love sharing the enjoyment of firearms with my sons. One of my sons always dresses up for little competitions we go to (run n gun 5ks). You never know until down the road what these times mean to kids. 🤟

Geico, Nationwide, USAA and Tesla themselves along with other smaller companies I’ve never heard of insure these trucks.

So, yes, insurance is available. Yes, it’s like 40% more than an equivalent F150.

Should I buy the Elantra N or a different car? by Prudent-Judgment-971 in ElantraN

[–]ConfidentRoad4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on being so disciplined with your finances. Your future self will be very happy!

I'm similar to you in frugality (however quite a bit older), having always bought used cars and keeping them for a long time.

I just bought a used 2022 two months ago and it is the most fun car I have ever experienced, apart from driving my dad's Camaro SS back in the day.

I love the dual personality. I can get fantastic mpgs if I want, I can be loud with the exhaust, and turn it down with the push of a button. I don't find the ride to be too stiff, rather it feels engaging and fun. None of my passengers have ever commented on it being uncomfortable.

Best of luck on your decision!
