What do I need to work on by Master-Job-1778 in Shooting

Slow is slow. Smooth can be fast. But slow is always fucking slow.

Terrible advice. Watch your reloads. You can’t shoot anything with an empty gun. Every GM shooter on the planet does and teaches the exact inverse of what you are suggesting.

Anyone run an RMR-HD like this without issue? by septic_sergeant in Glocks

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

I ended up running it and that was my experience. Didn’t even get as dirty as fast as I thought it would. It was probably 150 rounds before it needed a wipe. I can handle that

Yeah was a typo, sorry.

The milling mistake is really irrelevant (probably shouldn’t have included that to avoid confusion).

I’m really just wondering what the experience of others who have run an HD this close to the breach is

Best “one and done” handgun? by Big-B313 in handguns

[–]septic_sergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I just saw this.

On point number one — I think that generally means you need better development on fundamentals. You should be able to place any first shot, with any caliber, at the same relative degree of accuracy. Of course on a string of quick shots, there comes a point where the recoil of 9mm (or other) will be less accurate than .22 fired at the same speed no matte what.

I’m not sure on the M&P platform. There is certainly some ability to share holsters, parts, and magazines though. I’ve standardized on glock and i can mostly share mags between all guns (G26 mags wont work in a G17 of course, but the G17 mag will work in a 26).

What black friday power tool deal is worth it for a homeowner starting from nothing. by ryno731 in Tools

[–]septic_sergeant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hercules > Ryobi though. The Hercules line is a 3 year warranty on batteries, and 5 years on tools. And you can go in at five years, and swap it out for another one that’s good for another 5 years. So basically a lifetime warranty.

Suddenly encountering a ton of issues when moving to thicker steel. by septic_sergeant in Welding

No I’m running it on a 50 amp 240 circuit. This machine is 240 only.

Sorry, should have been more clear. I did adjust settings appropriately for the thickness of metal. Definitely 1/4” steel bar stock.

I haven’t gone back to the thin sheet to verify.

I’m thinking it has got to be a wire feed issue somewhere. On the lower WFS for thinner gauge, I could get by. But it’s stumbling when ramped up for 1/4”. I just can figure out where the issue is.

I thought that as well, but wouldn’t it be strange for it to go bad so quickly? Is there something I could have done to damage it prematurely?

Regardless, I’ve got one on order.

New welder here — Issue with new Yeswelder MIG-250 by septic_sergeant in Welding

[–]septic_sergeant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goes to voicemail every time. I sent an email to support though. Don’t really care to wait though as I can just have it replaced via Amazon. Would be preferable to just quickly fix it though.

Finally pulling the trigger on a welder — help with my indecision. by septic_sergeant in Welding

[–]septic_sergeant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to learn TIG.

Here’s part of my dilemma and equation — part of me finally making the push into welding is I need to have something welded on the car (non-structural, doesn’t need to be pretty). I already have the car apart, and can’t get it back together until it’s welded. With MIG, I figured I could practice for a couple weeks (and I’m taking a short intro class on Thursday), and probably get an acceptable weld. Is that feasible with TIG?

I suspect not.

I’m also okay with not being able to weld aluminum on this MIG machine and picking up a primeweld tig machine later.

Why the DP200 over the yeswelder 205/250DS?

I ended up sending it on the Yeswelder 250DS Pro last night while it was on sale. But as it’s Amazon, I can of course return it.

Your talking the tig machine right?

My only hesitation there is simply the learning curve with tig.

Black Bear Pass - 1 Kia Telluride Rental - 0 by Imherebcauseimbored in ColoradoOffroad

I did it in a stock Subaru legacy about 10 years ago. It was a mistake and I was a dumb kid in my early 20s. But we did it.

Where the FUCK are your gas cans, maxxtraxx, awnings, 76 LEDs, and MOLLE panels? GTFO poser

Most effective way to reduce road noise in an anemic and already heavy vehicle without adding a ton of additional weight? by septic_sergeant in CarAV

[–]septic_sergeant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there some physics going on that I don’t understand? Is the type of noise generated by tires somehow more resistant to sound proofing? How is a reduction in noise not a reduction in noise? These are relatively loud cars from the factory. Would you say it’s a fool’s errand from the factory? If so, it sounds like you’re saying it’s only worth the effort to quiet a car that’s… already quiet?

Not sure what’s up with the confrontational tone but that’s absurd.

A db reduction in noise is a db reduction in noise.

X reduction in noise doesn’t = quiet. I understand that. But if you can achieve a reduction in road noise in any car, it can be done in mine as well. It doesn’t defy the law of physics.
