    Windows 8.1 frustrating

    I'll give another +1 to this. I'm an IT guy, and hear the gripes all the time. I've added Classic Shell to quite a few people's laptops for them over the last couple months, and they are all extremely happy.

    9 mm ammo

    All the ammo I've tried, and the guns I own, are more accurate than me. Only big problem I found is my carry gun refuses to cycle properly on 147gr. rounds. It'll eat 124 and 115gr. all day long. So, I stick with buying the lighter bullets so I don't have to worry which gun I'm feeding what.

    Those in the snow belt: you use snow tires?

    First year after I bought my Grand Cherokee, I left the all-season tires on it. Got stuck in the ruts left by the snow plow in my driveway, which is flat and had to shovel it out. That spring, I put Cooper Discoverer STTs on it. Snow has never been an issue since.

    Shotgun slugs, what shoots best?

    I'm very satisfied with the Hornady SST sabots. I'm shooting probably 3" groups at 100yds out of a Mossy 500 w/ rifled barrel. The shots were completely flat when I moved from 50yds to 100yds when sighting in. Can't beat that when you're chucking a 300gr projectile downrange. Unfortunately...

    .22 decision

    Another vote here for the 10/22. Lots of aftermarket support if you want to deck it out to your liking. And a pretty decent gun right out of the box. Plus, if you think like me, you can always have multiple 10/22s set up in different ways that you can share mags and such between.

    Does anyone besides me love a good fire?

    A fire place, or wood burning stove (or both) are requirements for the next house. Being in suburbia, the best we can have is one of those above ground fire pits on wheels. It will hold about 5 fireplace sized logs, which is better than nothing, but it's just not the same...

    This little ruger has won me over...

    I've got the Walther P22, and dad's got the SR22. There's something about the way the P22 fits my hand that I prefer it, but the SR22 is a very nice shooting pistol. Only complaint my dad has about it is finding ammo right now...

    Smallest 9mm Pistol

    Kel-Tec PF9 weighs in at 12.7oz empty. It's pretty nice for carrying all day. I'll warn you it's a snappy little thing though.

    What have you shot in the last 24 hrs?

    Was shooting some trap last night with the Mossy 835. Didn't do too bad for my 3rd time out. 20/25 Then someone had to go and pull out the 10ga break action... 'Bout put me on my backside... But I hit the clay!

    Walther P22?

    I have one, and love it. Didn't take long to get everything broken in, maybe 100rds, and it's been flawless ever since. I've probably run 1000rds or more through it since I bought it in the fall. Pretty accurate for my standards. But, at the range it usually gets claimed by the fiancee...

    Any place online selling SD9/VE/Sigma mags?

    SW9VE mags are available at MidwayUSA as of about 2 minutes ago... From everything I've read on here, those should work in your SD. Can anyone confirm that??

    Jeep Wrangler owners...step in.

    I'm a fan of any Jeep with the 4.0L under the hood. You can beat on those all day, in the woods in July, and they might get warmer than the normal 210...

    Do You Like The Smell Of Hoppe's #9?

    I don't mind the smell of #9 at all. For a while though, I was sick of it. I had managed, while cleaning the guns one evening, to dump about 1/2 a bottle across the coffee table in my living room. I wiped up the mess right away, and removed the cleaning mat that I was using, but my living...

    Ammo Storage

    I use the .50cal surplus cans with random desiccant packs tossed in. I have a couple of the plastic ones, but to me they don't stack as well. I do like the paint can idea though. Might have to go shopping at Home Depot this evening...

    Chinese Food

    General Tso's, with a side of pork fried rice. Doesn't get any better than that!
