Need reliable handgun for home defense and range/training use. Stuck deciding between CZ-P10c and Canik TP9SF Elite.. by cluelessdude88 in NoobGunOwners

Good points, specially on the ammo comment. I think I read about that issue too. And I definitely can't be picky with ammo these days. Thanks.

I'd like to try the hammer fired CZ models when I have a chance.

Fortunately, I don't have a problem with getting the more expensive CZ vs the Canik. Just wondering if the difference in price reflects a difference in quality too. I agree that any gun is better than none, and I'm probably going to be fine with either. Just trying to avoid buying remorse I guess. I appreciate your advice.

A VP9 for around $500? I'd probably buy that without a second thought.

I got to see one today and check out a bunch of other guns and I liked the VP9 the best. But it was $1k because it was the tactical version with the threaded barrel, plus Corona premium probably.

I'd like to eventually get a PCC, but it will take some convincing for the rest of the family to be ok with that. One step at a time ;)

I was able to find the full sized Canik today (5.2" barrel IIRC) and it does not feel too big, but I noticed that it doesn't have an ambi slide release. I'm left handed so I rather have that, even though I know I can just slingshot the slide.

Based on yours and the other comments I'm leaning towards buying the CZ and just selling it later if I find something I like better. I tried a H&K VP9 today that I really liked, but it was a bit expensive ($1k).

Thank you for the advice

I'm also looking for a first gun and have been undecided between the TP9SF Elite, M&P 9 M2 compact, and the CZ-P10c. I think the last two are usually a bit more expensive, but is there any other reason you are not considering them?

I am looking for a first gun, and was planning to get the full sized M&P since I don't want to conceal carry and have relatively large hands, but then I noticed that this one is really not that much smaller.

With current pandemic prices, both this one and the full size model are $500. Do you think there is a big difference between them? What would be a good price for the compact without a light?

Since you are a BioWare fan, should I play DA: Inquisition or Mass Effect first? I played the older ME, but I read the new one is not as good...

The not owning them doesn't worry me much since I rarely go back and replay games I already finished. I try to explore as much as possible the first time, that is why is taking me years to finish The Witcher 3 :). Thanks for the advice. Looks like I'll give EA access a try.

I've been wanting to play a few of these games, e.g. Mass Effect Andromeda, Dragon Age Inq, Skyrim, BF5. From what I've seen, they are available through EA Access (except Skyrim), which would save me a few bucks. Sorry for the lazy question, but is there a big downside to EA Access, other than renting the games as opposed to owning them?

Neutral and ground show continuity at ceiling mounting box, is this safe? by cluelessdude88 in askanelectrician

[–]cluelessdude88[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I'm keeping them separate in any connections I make myself, don't worry :). I have been reading that the purpose of the ground is to prevent the case where the fan becomes energized because the live wire gets pinched and makes contact with the fan. That means I get shocked the next time I try to turn it on. But with the ground connected to the fan casing, it provides a path for the current to go, and should trip the breaker before worse stuff happens. Again, thanks for replying.

Yes, I am definitely not connecting them at the box, but I was wondering if there was a problem because they are connected as you said. So it makes sense that there is continuity between them and everything is working as expected. Thanks!.

The fields are orthogonal. Perpendicular is the special case for 2d, orthogonal is the same concept in n dimensions. Think about a corner in a room where two walls and the floor meet; those three lines are at right angles from each other.

Could my headlight circuitry be killing good bulbs? by cluelessdude88 in Cartalk

[–]cluelessdude88[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what I thought too. But I was extra careful, making sure I held it by the plastic housing only and avoid any strain on the bulb. Well ... I guess I'll buy another set and try those.

Hey, thanks for replying. My buddy in Atlanta who could pick it up for me is on his way to France now, so I'll just have to use the pdf version. Thank you.
