  1. When I get an apology wave I don't get upset... Just when they blatantly don't give a fuck or don't even realize is when I get upset... But I always let it go, shit like that is a daily occurrence, no use getting mad every time someone cuts me off on the bike... I just chalk it up as part of experience and pay extra attention
  2. All this ammo talk got me Googling my ass off lol... Everybody real world experience says the +P is fine, but I keep reading "better safe than sorry" kind of stuff.... Then I started seeing a lot of debate about just using FNFMJ ammo in 380 for the penetration. I don't mind setting the +P ammo aside if it's truly no good, but I keep seeing people say it's all they will carry and then others who act like you'll lose a hand on the first round... It's very confusing And then this whole FMJ debate thing is mixed in and people make good arguments for that also. About to just leave the FNFMJ rounds in it and call it a day... Then she'd at least be able practicing with what she carries So.. I'm kinda debating between using the +P rounds I ordered, or just shelving them and leaving it full of the flat nosed rounds Thoughts? I've never even fired a 380, I'm a total noob lol
  3. So per Google, ruger says no +P because there is no official rating for 380 +P and its for liability... Buffalo Bore claims extensive testing and online forums I see nothing but people who run it fine (even in LCP I)... Well shoot a little to function check it and then leave it in for carrying, but will keep in mind that Ruger doesn't suggest it... Thanks for the heads up, I didn't see anything convincing enough to swap it out for something else... Unless she hates the extra recoil, in which case I'll probably get her gold dots... Won't know until we get out to the range
  4. Interesting. Glad you checked for me, lmao I didn't think to check... Just saw someone mention low inertia so figured I'd get the snappiest rounds I know of... I carry Doubletap ammo in my 40 with Barnes tac-xp bullets and they shoot great and performed well in gel when I tested them, I ordered buffalo bore for my 40 too
  5. I ordered Buffalo Bore Tac-XP 80gr +P
  6. Dry firing, trigger feels very nice... Will report back once we shoot it
  7. Hold up now.... There's as many poor white people as all other races combined. Poverty rate may be high among black people, but it's not accurate to say most poor people are black.
  8. Good to know... Maybe I'll find some light snappy rounds like the Barnes copper
  9. Shawn link this explained a lot for me https://gundigest.com/handguns/concealed-carry/gun-review-ruger-lcp-ii-pistol
  10. It's a little big for what she's looking for... We looked at the LC9 too Is the glock that much better than the LCP to have her reconsider? I worry about the triggers on glocks too... Every ND I ever see comes from Glock... I know it's all gun safety and user error, but it still sticks out to me.

    LCP ll

    Anybody own an LCP II and have an opinion? Looking for something small that my gf can tuck in her purse or pocket (I know purse carry is not ideal, as does she... But sometimes it's require)... I'm about 95% sold on the LCP ll... The 9mm shield and LC9 are both slightly big for what we're looking for. Any recommendations for 380 self defense rounds? Same shit good as for bigger calibers like Speer or Federal? Never owned a 380
  12. Coming from the guy who is on vacation from work to either ride 1k miles or go on a cruise, like every month it seems ?
  13. You made a good choice. I assure you. lol
  14. I wish this bike was out when i got my Honda...congrats! I wanted an FZ1 but wanted a naked version, was too lazy to mess with the euro conversion crap so I got the Honda. Bad decision lol. Wanna trade?
  15. For some reason I'm not sure Iron Pony expected this thread to take this turn ?
  16. Why can't we edit posts anymore on this forum after like a minute? Lol **Google says low $30s estimated
  17. Subaru is pumped about this one... They're cranking out some programs to extend leases and stuff for their customers who are interested in getting one. Doing all they can to market them, supposed to be nice AF... I'm guessing expensive though, like 40s by the look of the thing lol I hadn't looked at anything about prices, just see the lease programs at work
  18. I'm losing weight still but pretty much stopped working out... Work, school, laziness prevents me from doing it... I'm down 6lb in 2wks though just from cleaner eating and portion control.... I'm hoping I can keep losing without working out, or else I'll have to start ? I'm down to 244... My all time high was 320 and I haven't been under 260 since high school until last year sometime... Goal is 220 then re-assess
  19. Coming in 6 months https://www.subaru.com/ascent
