Sorry...I'm bored out of my fucking mind...the wife is watching the Bachelor, and my phone battery is about to die. Thank God the fucking show ends at 10. I can't believe the one armed girl got a rose...
Dry firing a 1911 is perfectly fine. Dropping the slide without chambering a round is not. If you're using snap caps, always chamber the snap cap via using the magazine. Without using the magazine, you risk damaging the extractor.
The V10 twin turbo diesel was available in the states for a few years...2008 being the last I believe. 550+ torques. I've driven one, and it was an absolute beast.
