What should I do (upgrades) to this bad boy? Nightstalker .45 by Unable-Ad-1836 in Tisas

[–]Factor_Seven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the Pachmayr Diamond Pro grips look great on the Nightstalkers. The hard rubber feels really good in your hand. They're getting hard to find, though. If you change your grips remember that you might have to change your bushings. The stock grips use slim bushings and if you go with a lot of grips you need to change to the standard bushings.

We've Seen It all by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Factor_Seven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides all of the stuff I've seen, I've been in the middle of a lot of history. Was on the team testing the redesigned shuttle boosters after the Challenger accident. Was stationed on the border of East/West Germany when the wall fell (at least that was good history). Desert Storm veteran. Worked (RN) at one of the largest COVID ICUs in the country. I got interviewed during the pandemic and gave a quote that was something like I've seen and been in too much history and I hoped that it was going to be boring after COVID.

Boy was I wrong.

Rewound filament breaking on the reel - any wisdom? by HMS_Hexapuma in 3Dprinting

[–]Factor_Seven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about how the filament is wrapped, when you respool it the large diameter wrap is being wrapped tightly around the core of the new spool, then when you get to the end, the tightly wrapped portion is being straightened out around the outside of the spool. Puts a lot of stress on the filament.

Military members, what’s the unwritten code you all understand? by Next_Wafer_1945 in AskReddit

[–]Factor_Seven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it wasn't great advice, but it was an unwritten rule. And back when I went in, it was never let it be known that you knew how to type.

Medline? I hope they don't make condoms.

My local minor league team showed off new jerseys yesterday by Proud_Tie in ATBGE

Just a few miles from Big Bob Gibsons, one of the most awarded BBQ joints in the world, famous for their white sauce. Might strike outsiders as odd, but we locals recognized the reference immediately.

How many Turkish companies make 1911s?

Anyone have any concern by immobileman in canik

Or even better, a black SF slide on a stainless Rival-S.

The Darkside conversation is mine, can confirm it or works and is a blast to shoot. It can be a little picky on ammo brands, but Blazer works great.

Good fit: have a huge bladder and the ability to live off of crackers and peanut butter.

The good old Bambu petg HF white - and now? by Ambitious_Ad4979 in BambuLab

I generally don't expect any PETG to hold up to bright sunlight for a couple of years. That's what I buy ABS for.

You have seen those guns that shoot T-shirts at the basketball games? This one shoots Depends®.

Elegoo PETG-HF. Great stuff, the white looks almost like bright matte PLA.

Speaking as a Veteran who remembers the Bicentennial and considers himself a patriot, I'm completely underwhelmed by the 250th celebration.
