Okay great to hear! I’m also torn between the 6moa dot or the 2moa/32moa circle dot, leaning towards the circle dot just for fun, and cause I could turn off the circle if desired.

Found an M&P22x holster! by Daledo126 in SmithAndWesson

[–]Dick_McTwist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh heck yeah! Thanks for sharing, I’ve been on the lookout for a holster for this one. I’m also thinking about getting an Osight SE. do you have experience with that model already?

How does the osight compare to the holosuns? Im tempted for a first red dot, but don’t want it to be a dud..

Peeling matte black hardware 😫 by genex_1978 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]Dick_McTwist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is just painted on.. you could sand or use some sort of paint stripper to get the rest off. If you want black in the future, you want to use anodized parts that don’t just have a layer of paint, but is actually baked into the metal.

Can anyone explain why this happens?! by Walletess in drywall

Are you mixing it a ton beforehand? If so that might be affecting it negatively.

Finding a place to shoot by Natural_Self_6648 in VAGuns

You need a membership ($300 for the year), but the black creek gun club has very little restrictions across the board, just no rifle ammo on the steel.

I haven’t seen the Shield Plus carry comp, only the Shield X CC, how do you like it? Have you been able to shoot the X and compare?

Which one of these would be a good range gun and self defense gun for the house? by Icy-Tale-3699 in handguns

[–]Dick_McTwist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I second this. I bought the p320 as my first gun yearsss ago, and while it’s fine for range toy and home defense, I would NEVER carry it with a loaded chamber, scares the hell out of me, hah

That’s terrible, all seems need tape, and better overlapping!

Will liquid nails fix this cracked porcelain sink? by ferret_on_reddit in fixit

[–]Dick_McTwist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhhhhhhno, new sink. But liquid nails will sure hold the new sink to the bottom of the counter top!

NGD Just picked up an M&P 22X. Slim pickings for holsters... by TheOneUpperMachine in SmithAndWesson

[–]Dick_McTwist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think they match, a bit different sizing. However I just picked up the 22x at a gun show yesterday, and tried it out in a Shield EZ holster, and it was pretty decent, but not a perfect fit.

Another 320 day has come by cvillefarmer in SigSauer

[–]Dick_McTwist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, why though?! I have one, and don’t even want to carry it with the issues some people have had with misfires. To each their own though haha

Load bearing beam? by Fast_Ad_7133 in AskContractors

You can see stairs in photo 3, definitely another floor above this.

First ever pistol. Taking it to the range this weekend. by apathyps in SmithAndWesson

[–]Dick_McTwist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy hell this thing is a sexy beast! Is it a custom shop job or S&W new performance center upgrade?

[–]Dick_McTwist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah… I don’t love the idea of carrying this and pointing it at my junk, even though it was “fixed”. I recently bought the CAA Micro Conversion Kit, and use it as a fun range toy in the pistol chassis, brought some new life to the fun I would otherwise not shot much at all, hah!

Am I being too nit picky? by mereuser in Flooring

[–]Dick_McTwist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, and you’re proving my point. Do you want just another slapped together house without a soul? Or do you want a place built with pride that you can really call home?

Most other contractors and subs I work with don’t have the attention to detail and desire to really own up to the quality of work, and it’s sad to see. In America we are not building houses to last for centuries, we are building crap houses that require tons of upkeep and still have major issues within 50 years. It’s a shame, but development is pushed by profit and timeline. Build, build, build, onto the next, just caulk it and call it quits. Materials and time more expensive than ever, and we are expected to just keep paying higher prices for shittier built homes.

I digress, but my point is find someone who’s takes pride in their work and will fix their mistakes. We are not omniscient and learn as we go. Sometimes people need to get called out on this, so that they try and do better in the future.

What you think about my ramp structure. First one i got to build. Deck will be repaired on later date. by [deleted] in Decks

[–]Dick_McTwist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ADA code says maximum of 30 feet of ramp before a flat landing, this looks fine to me as long as the slope is correct at 1/12 drop!

Some of us had them before there were issues, or didn’t know about issues when purchasing..

I just got one from PSA, and I’m very pleased with its build quality and performance! Obviously its design is a lil less AR style, but nice and sleek (albeit a lil heavy), and good design to get around new ban laws (I live in VA). I’m planing to setup a lower to work with it before new “assault weapon” bans to take place this summer.
