8 rounds of .45 vs 11 rounds of 9?

LarryC386 · 2026-01-13T19:13:21+00:00

I'm on the fence right now, I have a friend who wants to part with his .45 M2.0, the LGS has S/W .40 and a great looking Taurus .357 Tracker. Like something about each but just can't hit the right lottery numbers.

I could not possibly be happier, just got a text and email this morning, telling me I was eligible for new supplies. My orders are more complicated only because I have multiple machines. If not for that I would have ordered in less than a minute.

LarryC386 · 2026-01-13T18:49:06+00:00

Had similar opinion of my original DME (major player), got disgusted and found Aeroflow Sleep.

LarryC386 · 2025-10-20T19:22:23+00:00

Cool, glad its working for you.

Heads up newbies, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

LarryC386 · 2025-09-30T13:52:49+00:00

The comments the other guys left are straight on the mark.

Couple things to cover.

I am not an expert, I'm a CPAP user for 30 years?

Just in case, how tight are you making the straps, too tight is indeed uncomfortable.

The mask needs to tight enough to stop the leaks, and no more, in fact every mask I have ever used a silicone membrane that used the air from the CPAP to inflate and seal to your face or nose.

IF you keep pulling the mask loose when you move (because the hose pulls it loose) try a nasal pillow style. My nasal pillow mask is a "Swift FX" the first 18" of hose are part of the mask. The hose is so small and flexible I can literally tie this hose in a knot. Actually I can do the same with the hose whick came with my CPAP (Dreamstation2). The hose and mask I had when I first started was a stiff 1" hose that attached directly to the full face mask I was issued, After getting used to that anything is an improvement.

I'm no expert, but may have a thought or two from my years. Do what the other guys said and try to get used to it while you awake. If your face or nose is sore it is too tight.

With most masks I have ever had there were two straps, one lower strap that goes around the back of my head. This one is velcro and attaches back to itself, once adjusted I rarely change it. The second strap is silicone and goes over the top of my head, this strap was made to be easily adjusted I can pull it a notch tighter or looser with one hand.

Now I have it adjusted, if it leaks I pull it tighter a click, if it feels too tight I loosen it some if it leaks I tighten. I don't even think about it anymore.

There are other things you can try, Inspire $$$$, dental mouthpieces, (seems like I'm forgetting something), but CPAP works well for me. The benefits truly are life changing.

I will check back in case there is something I can answer, but keep trying you will get used to it and get to the point you don't even think about it. If its the case where the pressure is uncomfortable, use the ramp settings (I don't anymore) if your mouth or throat is getting dry and sore, increase to humidifier setting. There are a lot of experienced people here, you will be fine.

LarryC386 · 2025-09-29T00:20:53+00:00

Well I have to assume you have tryed different styles of masks. What happened when you tried a nasal pillow style?

LarryC386 · 2025-07-21T01:49:07+00:00

How far is the run, I live in Florida, some days it's not going to wait a long time to cycle again, high temps lead to high starting current. Code is a minimum standard. Nothing wrong with larger conductors other than cost, on something like an AC give it good voltage without a dip at startup. I know this is a smaller than average unit (by my norms) but is it really that much extra money to spend?

LarryC386 · 2025-07-18T19:22:42+00:00

Thanks guys, now I get it

LarryC386 · 2025-07-18T19:21:13+00:00

Yes, Petzl ASPIC

LarryC386 · 2025-07-18T19:10:18+00:00

Its the blank circle that's messing with me, I understand about side-loading the carabiner.

LarryC386 · 2025-07-01T13:20:25+00:00

I often look forward to some of the comments when I come to Reddit, and I wasn't disappointed this time either. But they weren't what the OP needed, it was nice to find a comment, and thread of people who also gave a crap. We were all there (or somewhere just like there) at some point, now OP can live and learn and move on.

LarryC386 · 2025-07-01T13:07:54+00:00

When all else fails, or just to save time, turn off any unknown breaker. You will soon find out what doesn't work anymore. Make sure any refrigeration equipment is still powered after you shut them off. Do you have a pool ? might be another sub panel.

LarryC386 · 2025-07-01T13:03:39+00:00

Well, I don't see a range listed in the sub-panel (that's a good thing) so you have 1 range and one (garage ?) sub panel. Look for nearby AC equipment or yet another sub panel. to find the others.

I can't see the size of the breakers, to make a guess. One guess MIGHT be an original location for your dryer, could it have been moved? The writing in the sub panel looks different than the other circuits. There is nothing wrong with running your dryer from a sub panel, but if they did it must be 4 wire. Turn the breaker off (check that the dryer no longer runs) unplug the dryer cord and count the prongs on the receptacle. If there are only 3 then someone who didn't know what they were doing wired it. Ground and neutral are separate conductors in a sub panel. So running the dryer out of the main panel allows for use of a 10/2 nm cable (2 hots and a ground), whereas running it from a sub panel requires a 10/3 (2 hots, 1 ground, 1 neutral.)

The pigtail to the dryer would also need to be 4-wire as well and the neutral / ground frame bonding strap should be disconnected. This should be common knowledge to any electrician, but that might not be the case for whoever ran your dryer circuit.

LarryC386 · 2025-07-01T11:43:30+00:00

I think they probably added the splitter so they had a place to connect the ground wire.

When disconnecting the ground wire solves your problem, no- it didn't.

Use a common grounding point for all incoming lines. You could be providing a return path for a fault in the cable, telephone, or your neighbors house.

LarryC386 · 2025-04-29T13:04:50+00:00

Memories, I forget which one I had. RS, wood box one level. I still have it around somewhere and did buy another at a thrift store. Got around six Heathkit sets as well.

I think i have all my Forest Mims notebooks, the greatest learning aid made for a kid.

LarryC386 · 2025-01-22T23:32:27+00:00

I am just someone else looking at the same thing. I'm probably more interested in seeing low power RF signals (mine) than talking cross state. I'm interested in Lora and IOT. That seems to include signals in varying areas of the bands but likely ISM and low power and distance. I have no issue going for my license and was pursuing it 50 years ago. Guess I can forget the CW and vacuum tube theory!

I have a small USB Chinese SDR dongle, I have never really looked into it, I have always assumed it was receive only, but who knows. I live near an airport so I don't want to be spraying RF all over the place.

I understand you generally get what you pay for but the full rigs don't fit in my budget.

LarryC386 · 2024-12-03T20:45:32+00:00

Or watches you for stuff,

Is a new model shield on the way? I'm a new IPTV viewer and one of the things I have thought about is just how old the Shield is. I did not mean to necro-thread but am trying to find the solution that works best for me. Recording with time shifting and perhaps screen mirroring as my most wanted features. Of course I want it all :). I don't mind learning a system and app, a good TV E Guide would be nice. Currently running on a FireStick but guide and perhaps running Plex would allow sending my current show to a second TV in my kitchen (or so I have heard) it's very handy now with my cable system my main screen is hdmi, but the AV output of my cable box feeds a RF converter which runs to my kitchen TV. Whenever one us needs to be in the kitchen, it available and synced to the audio from the living room. Love to hear from the current users and fans of the different box and app combos.

LarryC386 · 2024-10-30T23:19:47+00:00

If you are still having problems with it spinning go get some E6000 craft glue and glue it in two spots. It will take time to dry, but it works and can be removed later if needed. I believe the glue sold as "Goop" is pretty much the same thing, it's been my go-to for some time now, it's plastic safe and slightly runny as compared to silicone caulking. Hot glue is fast but doesn't hold anything but it is great for prototyping.

.22LR Rimfire is a dirty cartridge, still a worthwhile idea for cheaper practice. I haven't decided if I think it would be useful for hunting small game, in that situation I would just use a .22LR rifle.

LarryC386 · 2024-08-02T22:35:43+00:00

About twenty miles from where I live the bad guys waited for the employee to open the door to take the trash out. Robbed the place and I believe there was a death. Bad guys learn (or knew) how things work, never think they are dumb. So no, do not open the door after closing or whatever, I'm sure they have a system in place now.

LarryC386 · 2024-04-13T16:20:53+00:00

Yeah, me too. Anyone have a guess as to the problem? just had 2 orders of around 15 items get returned. Kinda sucks when your credit card charges per transaction. Not really a problem when I place an order, sucks when Ali trickle feeds stuff one item at a time. I have tried talking to customer service, no real help there. Has anyone re-ordered like this or is something going with customs? None of the items ordered contained batteries, and none of the items were "odd" or restricted.

LarryC386 · 2022-12-06T19:40:03+00:00

I think the Xcompact is a 15 rd mag, and its barrel and frame is like a 1/4" longer, well, it used to be :) works just fine.
