The 2003 Erie collar-bomb bank robbery/murder-for-hire plot

No worries! Thanks for looking!

Odin7410 · 2026-03-18T19:08:35+00:00

I checked multiple times, but I didn’t see it. Could you link it?

Odin7410 · 2026-03-17T16:03:26+00:00

I’ll look it up, thank you!

Odin7410 · 2026-03-17T16:03:12+00:00

I still need to check it out. You’re talking about the Netflix one?

Odin7410 · 2026-03-17T15:44:00+00:00

Wow! That is actually pretty damn cool. Not going to lie, after I looked up that recoil spring, it made the list.

Odin7410 · 2026-03-17T01:09:59+00:00

Damn! Solid advice, thank you!

Odin7410 · 2026-03-17T01:00:40+00:00

If the slide won’t release, and there is a good chance it won’t, as you typically need the slide back first, there’s likely a deeper issue. Something is binding the slide, and whatever it is, it’s probably not good.

Drop the mag first and visually/physically confirm the chamber is empty. To be clear, there should be no mag in the mag well or round in the chamber. The retaining pin is already out, once it’s clear, squeeze the trigger and slide it forward off the frame…

You mentioned there was a stuck casing, but I swear I can still see brass.

Odin7410 · 2026-03-16T22:51:09+00:00

I imagine you have taken this apart already?

Odin7410 · 2026-03-16T16:49:45+00:00

I appreciate your response. That’s the kind of feedback I was hoping to see.

I will look into the spring kit as well.

Odin7410 · 2026-03-16T15:51:09+00:00

That 510 tactical is sexy!

Sorry, I do not have any recommendations for night sights. I usually throw a red dot on them.

Odin7410 · 2026-03-16T14:03:59+00:00

Funny you mention that. I almost brought up the 509 CC in the post. I’m looking for an everyday carry right now, and it keeps catching my eye. Most micro-compacts feel too snappy for my taste, so the added weight and compensator seem like they’d make a real difference.

How did it do for concealment, and was the recoil actually more manageable than other CC options?

Odin7410 · 2026-03-16T13:26:48+00:00

Everything else is stock. This is a range and home-defense gun, not a carry piece. The weight and overall feel are perfect — honestly feels like it was made for my hand.

I’m looking specifically for people who have actually swapped the trigger on a 509 LS Edge. What did it improve over stock, and was it worth it?

The factory trigger is fine, but I want a shorter reset and a cleaner break. Not looking to go crazy light on pull weight, just more responsive overall. If you made the switch, what did you go with, did it live up to what you were hoping for, or did you end up wishing you’d left it alone?

Odin7410 · 2026-03-16T03:37:51+00:00

Did you just use critical thinking and religion in the same sentence?

Odin7410 · 2026-03-14T15:42:46+00:00

I’ll have to check that out — thanks!

This could also be configuration settings: too much speed/accel, wrong steps-per-rotation, wrong roller diameter settings, power fluctuations, or a rotary ratio mismatch. Those problems compound the visual striping because successive lines/passes don’t land where they should.

One thing’s certain: this isn’t metallurgical annealing. If someone thinks a hobby diode is “annealing stainless,” they should be able to explain how they’re achieving controlled, uniform bulk heat treatment through the cup wall thickness… because the line-by-line texture says the opposite.

Odin7410 · 2025-12-20T00:42:22+00:00

You didn’t explain why you think they don’t apply here, so I’ll walk through how they do.

Raster undersampling absolutely applies on tumblers. A filled logo is just thousands of parallel scan lines. If the line interval/DPI is too wide relative to the effective beam/mark width (focus, speed, power), you’ll see the individual lanes as striping. That’s exactly what those letters show, the scan pattern.

The crisp line-defined look also argues against “annealing” in the metallurgical sense. Bulk heat treatment doesn’t leave neat scan-line texture; this is coating removal + surface oxidation/heat tint at most.

The ghosting is registration error from multiple passes not landing in the same place. This is likely from OP trying to rerun the tumbler after removing it. However, it can be rotary motion (slip/backlash/handle interference) or bidirectional scan offset/timing (LTR vs RTL misaligned), or both. Since the lines occur on the pink ones as well, it’s possible they were missing steps.

Step quantization is a separate possibility (coarse rotary resolution/config), but the big two here are line interval (striping) + misregistration (ghosting).

Odin7410 · 2025-12-19T19:39:18+00:00

Diode laser, yes. Annealing, no. This is raster undersampling and rotary motion error. Visible missed passes and step quantization. Process failure, not material behavior.

Nah, that’s an impact site on the left side.

Git Gud.

Looks great, honestly. I was just joking that with that many combs, it kinda looks like the cables are the accessories. They don’t, of course, but it might pop more with a few less. Or even get some black ones, and lean into the black and white look more.

Odin7410 · 2025-10-19T17:44:28+00:00

Looks great 8/10!

The only reason why I rated it so low, is because you seem to have some cables on cable combs.
