I will second the LCR-22...

Polymer serves both technical and commercial purposes. Some will buy them because they are lighter and are less maintenance than steel. For total cost, polymer is cheaper as well...not because of material cost (steel is cheaper than polymer), but because polymer can be made...

1989 Yamaha Vmax 1200. Fastest stock bike made in those years. Scary bike...ran like a raped ape in a straight line, but handled corners like wet linguini...

M&P 9C or Ruger LC9S

I think you are kidding on this (in reference to fuel), but E85 means 85% ethanol. E100 is 100%, and cannot be used anywhere where cold starting is necessary (like here in Wisconsin). The 15% gasoline in E85 allows cold starting. Ethanol can absorb 10x as much water as gasoline, and one of...

In Wisconsin, the term "sip" is unknown. The rule of the game is to get that volume from the bottle to your belly.

Way cool! Another MMO guy...I use Marvel in the tank and in the crankcase, but once in awhile...not always. Also have used it to lube my guns, although my primary product is Frog Lube...auto lubricants, fuels and gun lube products are all interesting subjects...resulting in more opinions and...

Prayers from Wisconsin...

Now that is cruel and unusual punishment...on the intruder. If my wife got ahold of the bad guy, I may just feel sorry enough for him to help him escape.:eek:

How about Kato in The Green Hornet? Bruce Lee...never been a tougher sidekick.

Dogs are a great first line of defense. Burglars often won't bother a house with a dog. They will go down the street to the house without one. In this case, he was not a burglar, but I wonder if he would have been so intent on gaining entry if one or two dogs were making a ruckus on the other...

Glad I'm not the only sick one...I find something I like and my illness requires me to have two or more of the same.

I've found these big box stores are much higher in price than the LGS options. I stopped going to them.
