I love in video games where they re-rack the firearm everytime you equip it
LOL Imagine if it was realistic all the rounds would come out and in movies the guns never seem to Jam

That blue is a great color. Stick with it. Once you have it you won't regret it.

John Wick does a really good job of actual firearm usage. Have you seen Keanu doing 3 gun courses in preparation for the movie? He even does that sick left hand shell load in the video.

It's not red. Not that red is bad but if there's a 'pull-me-over' color, it's red. Just don't drive it like you stole it. lol

Okay those arnt that hard to do. I rather do those with a pistol and one hand at that close proximity or even a uzi. In real life a mac 10, uzi, or a p90 is more beneficial in a fight like that. But if your good with a pistol then a 44 or deagle

Bitch! My great grandmother used to put that blue tint in her grey.

Go ahead and laugh. You’re going to blink and you’ll be old too. It happens so fast. At least I’m not my grandmothers 58. And, above all, I’m not one of those old people driving a performance car wasting the horses .

Yeah, and he even press checks his handguns. I quite like!!!!! I like practicing left hand shell reloads with the SBS Remington 870 too. I practice pistol reloads with one hand disabled, racking the slide using my belt or the sole of my shoe. Much of it was taught in the academy, but I practice for the muscle memory/motor function.

Don't do it bro. It's not worth it. A little reminder….


….this is a DUI crash I handled a few months ago. The passenger lost both of her legs and the driver bailed out of the vehicle and left her there.

In 2009 my then 26yo son was hit and killed by a drunk driver. Think about not just what impact your actions may have on you, but those around you as well. I imagine it would be very challenging to go through life knowing that a poor decision you made to have a few drinks and drive caused someone else to lose their life.

Food for thought young sir. Carry on, though responsibly.

You are an idiot, but I suspect deep down you already realize that. You want to drive drunk? Get a job where you make a ton of money, buy land somewhere, pave it, and go drive as drunk as you'd like on your own land if no one else is on it. Then if you screw up, its only you that is hurting.

But going back to my first point, I think none of us see this in your future. So stop driving drunk.

Was out in the driveway wrapping up a front diff bearing install on my FJ. I was installing the wheel and tire and realized I've got a confession that's been kept secret for 30 years. I've literally told no-one....So here goes.....

Back when I was 16 and a new driver, I had a 1972 Datsun 510. Painted Guards Red, lowered, 2.0 liter L20B engine swap with a cam and dual carbs. It was sweet. I had the old American Racing style slot mag wheels on it. One day, I got the idea that the car would look a lot better if I lined up the wheels. So i jacked it up and carefully rotated the wheels around so that when you looked at each side the slots in the slot mags were all positioned in the same place rotationally. I was very proud of myself. Of course the first time I drove it after all my hard work went out the window. As if this wasnt embarrassing enough, it took me a couple days of hard, internal, thought process to figure out what had happened.
