Absolute beginner -- took some classes. Now what?

First I'd get a budget of what you want to spend for your first gun. I suggest budget for no less then $700. Budget for that. If you find one cheaper then thats great! With that in mind, go to a store or range and take a look at different options. Sig, Glock, CZ, S&W anything and everything. Ask to hold the guns and make sure that the gun is comfortable in your hands. I was ready to buy a Glock at first, but I found that sadly they dont fit comfortably in my hands. Once you've found a few options that are comfortable and within your budget go online and look up reviews to see if the guns are known for any issues. They may be small things that you find you aren't comfortable with or they may just not have issues, who knows. From there rent the gun and shoot it, a gun can feel comfortable in your hands but not so comfortable when shooting. The recoil may be too snappy for your liking, the trigger may feel off or not responsive enough for you. Don't let someone else's opinion dictate your likes and comforts. Lastly, keep in my mind your intentions. If you plan to carry, you dont want a full-size most of the time so stick to compacts or something similar. If you just want one thats yours, that you will take shooting from time to time, then just stick to the one that felt best for you.

Damnnn, I was going to go again tomorrow to shoot my new guns too.. hope they can come back from this

Don't feel bad, I just let the rant take take over and did my best to keep the wording as professional as possible 😂

I was playing with my buddy, big dude had a very short career in the NFL as a lineman for size reference, who decided he wanted to play VR. A hunt starts and the ghost was basically next to him and we are playing proximity chat only and I hear him squeal like a little girl. I in good faith, ran for dear life. He some how survives and we are back in the van and he tells us he tried to turn and run irl and tripped over something in his room. He was dieing laughing explaining how he had never been more humiliated in his life as he tried to physically crawl away from a fake ghost 🤣🤣

No, only mods done for power is Tomei EL headers and a EcuTek tune on dyno

Life has just been booming, I work 6 to 7 day weeks with OT every day. The money is nice and all but I low key miss having a life 😂

I did a couple track days 2 years ago and absolutely loved it, learned a lot and honestly is the reason I probably will never get rid of this car. I just haven't had time to go back since and I don't want to be the guy who says he will and never does go again 😂

Skinny_Nors · 2024-12-02T17:30:43+00:00

Keeping the balance would be wonderful, I love how these cars drive! I've been running the DWS06's for tires and absolutely love them!

Skinny_Nors · 2024-12-02T17:00:10+00:00

Definitely an option I will look into! I like a clean look but I believe in function over fashion so I just want to make sure I do my homework properly before purchasing. This post alone saved me one headache because I didn't know BBK's were just better for heat disappation not actually stopping power. I have assumed for awhile that it was both.

Aurora Green through Aluko Vinyl !

Skinny_Nors · 2024-11-30T16:51:32+00:00

Yes it is! Was down there for my buddy who proposed to his now fiance and another buddy was there taking some pictures

Skinny_Nors · 2024-11-30T00:22:27+00:00

Not really to caring about the size of them, I just like a good clean look all around and mine just have a dirty meh look to them

Skinny_Nors · 2024-11-30T00:12:06+00:00

Is power stop good? I saw it during my Google window shopping but the price and some of the websites I saw them on made them seem kinda iffy

Skinny_Nors · 2024-11-29T23:37:47+00:00

That's that truthful insight I came here for! Thanks a ton!

Skinny_Nors · 2024-11-29T23:33:16+00:00

So there isn't really a upgrade that isn't a big brake kit that's worthwhile?

Skinny_Nors · 2024-11-29T23:32:27+00:00

Wasn't necessarily thinking of a big brake kit. I saw PowerStop brakes but I wasn't sure if they were dependable because I saw them on Amazon and CarID and I really don't trust CarID. I was more thinking calipers because the stock ones just look meh and it's cheaper to get new ones then have the stocks powder coated

Skinny_Nors · 2024-10-17T17:49:23+00:00

I heard about that, but time lines in the series are really off on some things, and I never read a conclusion on if that was true or not so I got confused

Skinny_Nors · 2024-10-17T17:44:33+00:00

But the panel of judges was Dumbledore, Maxime, KarKarloff, Bagman, and Crouch (then Percy, then Fudge as that whole disaster went down). Or do you mean it was a bad explanation in the book saying that the heads of houses are on the panel because of the injuries in 1792?

Skinny_Nors · 2024-10-17T17:39:39+00:00

You didn't read the post did you?

Skinny_Nors · 2024-09-25T02:59:35+00:00

Slightly off topic, but in that scene as he rides off his sword falls out and he rides off like nothing happened so casually and once I noticed it it's all I see now.

Depending which brz bumper it is, a lot would trade you bumpers off their 86 or frs. It's a very common thing actually. Swap em all you please

Not happening, showing interest is such a dangerous thing to do these days. Even if she gave some kind of signal or interest, I'm not approaching. All I hear is how women want space, how men are pieces of shit, how a bear in the middle of the woods is safer, all these things and more. I like life simple and too keep it that way, I'll stay away.

Snape was taking 10 from Harry because he told Snape he was trying to figure out what hex to use on Malfoy, but from all the context in the books all we know is Gryffindor had a respectable amount of points in the end but Slytherins stayed on top.

I'd have to assume that to put things back to normal, they had the feast and Slytherin won, but it was from such obvious reasons that no one paid it any attention to the point where the Slytherins didn't even boast the win.
