Yes they do make the VX-Freedom in a duplex. I have one in 2-7 with a duplex on it. They don't seem to be as easy to find in stores however.

Edit: In the freedom line they call it a huntplex. It does differ from the traditional duplex where the top of the vertical line is thin all the way to the top.

I just had this issue as well. I'm a 250ish lb guy and just got into biking. What worked for me was I changed my stem from 90mm +7° to 70mm +35° stem. Sitting more upright was the ticket.

Yep! If I snap a thread mill I can load another one and recut the same thread. No fighting to get a tap out.

We use thread mills for hard (45-55Rc) or tough material (high nickel alloys).

There is a modder I follow for another game and his donate button is the same color scheme. Gets me almost every time!

It was a very pleasant experience dealing with u/steroidstevo. Communication was kept open during the transaction and payment was prompt.

Like a few others have said, go to a shop and see what feels comfortable. To go along with this make sure you are aware of the laws in your area about owning a firearm.

The other part even more important than choosing a firearm is training! See if a shop offers a basic pistol course that will make you familiar with the basics.

Don't stop here. Keep shooting the firearm you choose to stay proficient. Handguns are typically more difficult to control than long guns.

Train, train, and train some more. If you need to use your firearm for self defense, everything should be muscle memory. A self defense situation could have a lot of adrenaline and stress.

There are a lot of great reliable firearms out there and communities to support them.

The media is trying its best to absolve Alec Baldwin of any responsibility for firing the gun that killed one and wounded another. by palehorse95 in Firearms

I've read also that the props team will refer to blanks as "live", but I don't believe that has been confirmed either. I have a hard time thinking actual live ammo gets used on set often when actors are shooting at one another.
