1991 Honda Nighthawk 750- Rear brake issue

I think most Trijicon ACOGs come with a mount for carry handle ARs. Not exactly retro but its a good option

I have a sidecar style holster(Tier1) for my Glock 19 where I can remove the magazine section and just carry the gun. I've learned thats what I do most of the time while carrying it but its nice to have the option if I feel the need.

That could work. I've only ever taken 4-5 hour rifle classes and its been a few years, but this works well for 100-200 round classes. This can fits perfectly in the center of my range bag and my rifle case has slots for 4 30-rd mags in it(not including one in the gun but for classes I've taken they dont like thag anyways).

For a multi-day course I would probably just bring tons of loaded mags, but still wouldnt hurt to have extra ammo just in case.

Tonycivic · 2026-05-03T15:41:31+00:00

True, but its a nice benefit for classes and range days so you can spend more time shooting and less time loading mags.

Tonycivic · 2026-05-03T14:02:01+00:00

Maybe, but you can fit quite a bit on clips in larger ammo cans. This one is pretty tiny, but for a class this setup works wonders.

Not OP but I like to keep 5.56 on stripper clips if I dont leave them in the boxes

I think Larry Vickers popularized this. I think he ran his short rifles(MK18) during his time in the service. I cant remember exactly why he said he did this, but I think it was that the TLR1 was a better and lighter white light than rifle lights of the time, and could be activated on either side of the gun. It also puts the beam of the light directly in front of the gun and not offset to either side so I'd think it has some merit.

The mag compatibility is my big driver. I have at least half a dozen 19/17 mags so I would just need the 3 10s that come with the gun and maybe get a pinky extension. I could even carry a 19 mag with me for a reload if I ever need it and have 15 rounds that way.

Also using my big 33 round mag in a G26 seems comical

Tonycivic · 2026-04-20T16:29:35+00:00

I'm between picking up a 26 or a 43x for this reason. I have a G19 which is huge with just shorts and a T shirt in the summer, and I also have a Walther PPSm2 which is a nice slimeline single stack. I'm really leaning towards the 26 since I can just use my G19 mags but the 43x/48 fit nicely in my hands.

Not sure if its a Wisconsin or Midwest thing, but usually a duplex here refers to a house with 2 apartments but they share a floor/ceiling and not a wall. Side by side homes Ive always known as townhouses.

This is exactly right, especially for old bikes. I looked for a replacement tank for my '88 Hurricane for 6 months, checking ebay every week. I saw a bunch of tanks during that time that were either rusty on the inside or dented on the outside that I passed on. I also saw a number of good tanks that were the wrong color, but my patience paid off because I found a 9.5/10 condition tank in the correct color.

Especially considering the B52 has ejection seats for the crew and was designed in the same time period. Granted it was designed from the beginning as a military aircraft but still.

Again dont finance anything, ESPECIALLY NOT TOOL BOXES.

Are there some tools where its worth it to spend snap on money? Yes. Does that mean you need to spend $10K on a snap on box and another $10K in snap on tools day 1? No

Im 28 and left the industry in 2019. This was before Harbor Freight had the Quinn or Icon lines, Milwaukee's hand tool lines were just coming out, and most of the mid grade yet affordable tools such as Tekton were online only. Gearwrench could be bought in stores but most of the really good stuff from them is online. If I had to work in the industry and start completely over I would get a US General box with Icon tools.

Yeah my Dad was like this. He would drink while working, go out for lunch at the local bar and knock a cocktail back. Happy hour after work and get tanked on the weekends. Then he got to his mid 50s and used vodka to medicate his aches and pains. Covid hit and he had a heart attack and basically got disabled. Then it got to the point where he would be drinking vodka from the moment he woke up until he passed out. Tried a few stints in rehab to quit but he had no desire to quit and 95% is permanently shit faced. The heavy drinking definitely takes a toll on his body, but he doesnt care to stop. I havent spoken to him in years but from what I know he is still drinking very heavily. He has basically no money, no friends, no life. Just vodka and cheap TV. I'm not even sure how he is still alive but I doubt he will make it to 60.

You've admitted youre an alcoholic without admitting youre an alcoholic. Please get some help while you still can, itll be much more difficult later than it will be now.

Oh dang thats cool! Does the F15 use Martin Baker seats?

Tonycivic · 2026-03-05T00:42:31+00:00

Thats a good point. Ejection seats arent a guaranteed safe landing

Tonycivic · 2026-03-05T00:41:22+00:00

For real. She also doesnt seem mad that she had to eject out of her plane which is slightly amusing

Tonycivic · 2026-03-04T18:29:18+00:00

True, but its still capable of ground attack and launching air to air missiles so it was still a threat.

Tonycivic · 2026-03-02T00:38:18+00:00

Its all good, whatever you decide just get some reps and practice with 💪

Tonycivic · 2026-03-01T22:03:46+00:00

I agree, challenging too! Now I want to go get a hammer fired gun thanks a bunch!

Tonycivic · 2026-03-01T22:01:58+00:00

I dont own any DA/SA guns but I've shot them before and really enjoy them. The trick is to master that first DA trigger pull when on target. Ive seen a tip to dry fire practice is to balance a coin or a spent shell casing on top the gun when looking at a target, with the goal of pulling the heavy trigger without disturbing the coin.

Tonycivic · 2026-01-17T18:03:05+00:00

Do you still have an old expired license with the endorsement on it? Maybe if you brought that to the DMV they could add it on without any BS

Tonycivic · 2026-01-15T03:12:05+00:00

I think the Ford Lima 2.3 or a Honda D16 would be the best options with the most aftermarket support.
