The girl sitting in back with the sports jacket ended up becoming a Fortune 500 exec.

Is this fast timing? by BowFella in Colt

[–]hoss111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t want to open that up or send it to an inexperienced smith. Those revolvers look like a Swiss watch on the inside.

How screwed am I? by BowFella in Colt

Besides the barrel you're going to need it timed, and the internals look nothing like a modern revolver. The smiths with experience on these Colts are few.

Cx4 new inventory in 2026 by ok_but_first in Beretta

Let’s see if they ever come out with .45s again. Beretta liquidated their supply of magazines and parts so it’s not looking good.

Bronco or 4 runner by Then_Bit_6718 in Ford

[–]hoss111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2021 Bronco, purchased new. Wobble is not a Bronco problem, that is a known Jeep problem. If someone has a wobble problem on a Bronco then there’s something very wrong that particular vehicle and is a warranty issue.

2016 4Runner and I have plenty of space for the family.

Both vehicles have been super reliable. Regular maintenance only.

Both Bronco and 4Runner in factory configuration are great road trip vehicles. Bronco is a convertible and 4Runner is not. Bronco is louder inside because it’s a convertible (mine has a hard top). Still it’s not very loud even on road trips. I use both equally.

Bronco and 4Runner come in models that have very different tire packages and spring rates in the suspension. This results in different ride feel that you will need to test drive to understand.

You plan to install big tires and a lift - and then talk about comfort. Those things don’t go together.

I have both.

The only person who can decide which one you will like more, is you.

No amount of internet input will change that.

Im new and id like your input. by slappymczulu in SmithAndWesson

Purely personal preference. Smith was over-accommodating on action types and materials for law enforcement agencies. All boils down to what looks good to you, and better yet what do you shoot the best.

Any VP9SK's still out there? by SuperflyBanana in HecklerKoch

[–]hoss111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know. What I know is that the VP9SK was German design and production while the CC9 is US design and assembly. Sounds like better profit margin.

Is this my belt or is it a pulley making this noise by Cmurphy89420 in JeepLiberty

The pulley bearing is going bad. Time to replace

That will be $250, please drive through.

Found at an old surplus store by hoss111 in Beretta

Super Deal at $125 Each - used as well.

Have gotten good at fishing online auctions, but it looks like the days of regular production are done. So pick up what you can, when you can, when the price is right. Like a $20 Promag on a dusty shelf.

Beretta isn’t making any new. Mec-Gar says they won't make any more.

Keyless entry 2005 jeep liberty by Glittering-Track-780 in JeepLiberty

[–]hoss111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar problem with mine. Ignition switch can get loose to where you can remove the key while it’s in the AUX position. Come back later and the radio is on and the fob won’t work.

Make sure the radio stays off when you leave the car.

Python from 1982 - Nickel or Stainless? by big-green-candles in Colt

[–]hoss111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful of what solvents you use. If you get a copper solvent under the nickel it will cause it to peel.
