    • There is some appeal to the "Judge" I can not deny, but I have no idea what I would use it for. There is not much in my budget for expensive things without purpose. The last splurge was the carbine. I don't understand why pistol caliber carbines are dismissed. I thought about taking one to the range with a few practiced shooters: "Combat", competition, race gun boys. Sure, there are some drills that are all show and no go, in terms of real world application, but no denying, they can shoot. I do not and have not practiced enough to hang with them, but take the 5 yard (or is it 7) steel plate "heads" drill- one mag knock down/no reload. The world class shooters do it in seconds or less than, local matchwinners  do it almost as fast as they can pull the trigger practiced experienced shooters slow, just a bit, (acquire sight picture, squeeze move on) and everyone else goes down from there. The drill has the same number of heads as cartridges in mag, any missed head remains standing. In my once or twice a year practiced state, I don't leave heads standing, but creep into double digit seconds (slooooww) with the .45 1911 pistol. BUT, with the carbine I can hang with practiced experienced shooters and, as I have only put about 100rds through the carbine, with some practice, shooting at the same levels as local matchwinning (pistol) shooters appears very reachable. By contrast, the time and money it would take to become a shooter who wins (or even places) Idaho semi-auto pistol matches would be mammoth in comparison. (assuming this theoretical carbine/pistol match didn't include reloading, the carbine is reloadable as fast as the pistol, but reloading, especially under pressure, requires additional and consistent practice.) Like I said, some drills like "heads" do not have much direct real world application, but the ability to quickly and accurately engage a small target successfully is always a beneficial skill.  Since I don't practice much, yet still practice more than many I know, an easy to shoot, easy to be accurate, weapon for home/personal defense, the pistol caliber carbine has everything but ease of conceal-ability. It could be possible to swap barrels and convert a 1911 carbine back to a  1911 pistol, if needing conceal-ability, but the laws are vague in that regard, so mine is dedicated and remains converted. No matter, if you are a 1911 shooter, then more is always better and your carbine and carry gun utilize the same platform simplifying training.  Also, the J-frame S&W's are fantastic!
    • No, it doesn't run after the starter fluid stopped. 
    • Well so far so good with the ones I got..... they actually balanced better than the Yokohama I had on it before... I noticed a smaller weight,  and they even did it on the inside vs the outside like it was before..... Alignment Check Saturday and if all good then I'll probably order a second set for the rear....  The only semi issue was the paying through ebay for the install... I had to use my 2012 frontier on the paperwork.... the system wouldn't go back far enough and didn't like the older Vin...
    • I wonder if AOC is trying to imitate Marty Feldman?
