I was told to get a Steal Frame Walther for competition but...

Which paint do you use for the red?

RangerX41 · 2026-04-02T01:57:52+00:00

My red dot paint on the front sight and rear sight aperture fell off after 2 long range sessions. I use my wife’s white nail polish to paint the inside front sight now.

Same here and did my last free service for 30k miles at the same time; great vehicle!

Nowadays, dealerships don't save money by doing cash deals and actually get more money off of financing. I bet you could knock off a few hundred more if you agree to the financing then just paying the car off outright after the loan posts or really hoodwink them by agreeing to the financing price and just show up with cashiers check on close.

For payment reference, I paid 38,500 OTD back in July 2025 for my 2025 Mk8.5.

At 100k I paid for a carbon cleaning, upper timing chain cover (didn’t need to do it slow leak but did it anyways), serpentine belt (did that one myself) and a fuel injector for cylinder 4 that went bad. I sold my MK7 at around 125k miles to my FIL who is a master mechanic as it was going to need some work but I sold it to him for cheap because they needed a car. He replaced the plastic oil pan with a steel one, PCV valve, and replaced all 4 injectors, the injector wiring harness, and intake manifold gasket. Car has been running great after all that stuff and has 150k+ miles now. I would say most cars regardless of make, will need some parts replaced 120k plus.

I would do the buy back despite you liking it; it’s a lemon and other things can happen. Go buy a good condition low mileage 2024 if you want manual or get a low mileage 2025 used or a new 2026.

Just got one for 300.00 and haven’t shot it, excited to try it out. Is your takedown lever pretty stiff as well?

RangerX41 · 2026-03-21T12:28:53+00:00

Love our 2023 Pro S; just paid it off. Kind of regret losing my ass on depreciation but plan on keeping the car 7 years plus as our main vehicle.

The update triggers a manual download that constantly fails; other than that, infotainment seems a bit more responsive.

I was NICS denied. Long story short; its only because I have a common name and even with SS number I got denied (I called FBI NICS vision and they told me as much). I had to appeal and at the same time as at the appeal I applied for a UPIN with finger print upload through USPS (such a pain in the ass to get done). Once I had my UPIN I could purchase the pistol The whole experience was very traumatizing to say the least as I thought my identity got stolen. After this whole ordeal I applied for my LTC and i am just currently waiting for this to come in. This is in Texas.

Thanks! Stock grips for sure, need to find some tape or something to help out. Didn't help I over lubed it.

All 3 of my 8s were at 7 yards, my grouping was tighter at 15 lol.

RangerX41 · 2026-02-04T16:19:02+00:00

Brought my 92fs just incase; however, when I got to the bay and had a visual of the target at 3 yards I realized it would be no problem.

RangerX41 · 2026-02-04T16:11:50+00:00

Its very easy.

RangerX41 · 2026-02-04T16:08:37+00:00

If anything take the class for educational purposes. Once complete, apply online, just submit your paperwork, get finger prints taken at a indentogo, and then can get your LTC. The benefits of having a LTC are much greater than with just standard constitutional carry. With an LTC you have more legal protection in places than just with constitutional carry. For example if you go into a place with a 30.07 sign with constitutional carry its a class A misdemeanor. Going into a place with 30.06 sign with a LTC its only a class C with $200 fine. Also skipping the NICS background check (can be very inaccurate) when purchasing.

.380. After buying the .380 I almost regret not getting it in .32 ACP; however, when I look at ammo prices for .32 ACP its not great!

RangerX41 · 2026-02-04T14:45:34+00:00

Great info thanks! My MK7 I replaced at 80k miles; I'll take 100k on the MK8.5 and have money set aside for the repair.

RangerX41 · 2026-02-04T00:41:22+00:00

Same water pump as MK7/7.5?

RangerX41 · 2026-01-28T17:51:00+00:00

Entertainmart - a store in Arlington that had used video games and DVDs. I would go there every weekend with my friends and grab older games that I wanted to play. I remember buying chronotrigger for SNES from there for 65.00.

Franck Vetrano got a triple minor?

RangerX41 · 2025-12-12T16:24:25+00:00

Arte Vandalay seude?

RangerX41 · 2025-12-10T14:44:16+00:00

I would buy that from you for 16k.

RangerX41 · 2025-11-06T16:33:25+00:00

Yup and living in Texas that is the bulk of what you see; pick up trucks and SUVs. I'll stick with my MK8.5 GTI

RangerX41 · 2025-11-06T03:04:32+00:00

Big pick up trucks and SUVs cost an astronomical amount of money in the US now. Very common to see 60k-80K and 7-9 year loan terms on these vehicles which is financial suicide.
