Where is everyone #5

Here's a little more detail:

• "You can pay me now, or pay me later.": This slogan emphasizes the importance of regular oil filter replacement for engine health and longevity.
• The commercial often depicted a mechanic explaining that using a quality filter like Fram could save the customer money in the long run by preventing engine damage.
• While Fram also uses other slogans like "For Your Road Ahead", "Filtration for Total Vehicle Protection", and "Trusted Performance and Reliability Since 1934", the "pay me now or pay me later" slogan is the one most associated with the brand.
• The slogan was introduced in 1971 according to www.fram.com.

 

They are really reliable. The only time I had trouble with feeding was during Covid when I had to get some range time in to renew my CPL, and all they had were these steel cased local reloads to use since I didn't want to use my self-defense rounds since everything was in short supply back then. It could have been that I didn't pre-clean the gun before range time though I haven't pre-cleaned before any other rounds, so I think it was the loads themselves, but I did get some jam clearing training in with them.

Otherwise, I'm really happy with the time I spent researching before buying it in 2015. It's like me, the red-headed step child. That 4" barrel is kind of an anomaly stuck between the compact barrels(3.8") and the full size (5.0"). Even though I could probably conceal the fullsize, I was more concerned with keeping the gun as legal as possible with the 10 round concealable being legitimate in any state, limiting magazine sizes to 10 rounds.

I can carry extra mags, plenty of belt room.

 

Yeah, I was originally waiting for the genuine Colt to release their M-16 A1 retro, with the original triangle hand guards that I trained with, but even the gun shop guy laughed when I said I was waiting....then Springfield Armory announced the SA-16 which is the civilian version of the M-16 A2 with the same improvements on the military version but with the round handguards. Colt couldn't get it out, I own a Springfield Armory (the XD Compact) already and have been happy with their quality, so...snatched it up when it became available.


Edit: Correction, the SA-16 is patterened after the M-16 A2, not the A4.

 

We always had a phrase we applied to situations like that...
Phrase was: " Well, just write it on the wall." Meant you stuck the time or cash out expense in you memory and some day some way, there came an opportunity. The wall always "rounded "up, and had an amazing automatic calculation of any "inflation."

 

Yes Sir she is smiling now and actually saying a few words. She’s had people the world over praying for her…..

 

Best handgun for feel and just "sticklng out in front and balanced" was a 38-40 Colt single action my best friends dad had.
It just felt right when you gripped it. Not the best for todays world as a personal weapon, but a pleasure to shoot. I think the "plow handle "
grip design and its weight were effective counter balances to it's output.

A 38-40 Colt revolver refers to a Colt Single Action Army (also known as the Peacemaker) revolver chambered for the .38-40 Winchester Center Fire (WCF) cartridge. This cartridge, also known as .38 WCF, was initially designed for lever-action rifles before being adapted for use in revolvers. The .38-40 is a .40 caliber cartridge that shoots a 180-grain bullet at around 700-800 feet per second.

 

By chance, what do you mean by this? How is this a problem for MD?
