    So I know I have a sig 1911 45 caliber

    Not positive what specific model you have but those slots on each side of the frame below the barrel/front of the slide are rails. Rails are mounting platforms you can mount things like lights, lasers etc.

    Liqui Moly ceratec engine oil additive any good?

    I concur, oil additives are snake oil. It’s marketing that sells them, it isn’t because they do anything for your engine. If you follow the owners manual and change your oil and filter at recommended intervals and use recommended viscosity oils you’ll get long engine life and there will be no...

    G sight users?

    In your case it sounds like a good alternative. Anyone who keeps a gun for self defense, home defense should practice and if you can’t go to the range your method sounds like the best alternative.

    G sight users?

    I think it’s a pretty good system for new and inexperienced shooters to get use to handling, shooting and aiming and to learn some basics. For experienced shooters go to the range. Im currently training a young woman in gun self defense and preparing her to get her ccw who is being stalked by a...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Your home owners or car insurance would not cover you if you are charged with a crime. That’s why people who conceal carry should have special insurance

    Gun ownership and permits.

    That is actually a tough question. Too many factors and unknowns to give you a definitive answer. I can tell you though if you just run over people you will be sued and you may be prosecuted. If you shoot someone even if justified and in self defense you will be sued and you also may be...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Ok here’s my 2 cents worth. I am a former NRA certified pistol instructor and a former hunter safety instructor. Haven’t instructed in over 20 years. I’m still an active range shooter, 1 to 2 times a month and still do some shotgun clay shooting.(these are some of my hobbies) All of my guns are...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Not sure why you figured that but my response is factual and truth. As far as I recall I’ve never expressed any politics or political views on this site but perhaps there is such a post I do not remember. I do not visit this site with the purpose of expressing political views.

    Gun ownership and permits.

    Read his publications and draw your own conclusions. Wikipedia is a left leaning and left biased . Multiple studies, including two from Harvard researchers, found a left-wing bias at Wikipedia in both article content and editor sanctioning. I have 2 friends that are well known and can be found...

    Gun ownership and permits.

    People use a gun in the US a couple hundred thousand times a year to stop and deter a crime. They seldom have to fire it but just displaying, showing, pointing is enough to stop or prevent a crime. This information comes from a book by John Lott titled More Guns, Less Crime. John Lott is an...

    Odyssey Battery

    I had a Costco battery in one of my boats that was still going strong at 11 years old. I had no idea it was that old. I installed a second battery to run an electric trolling battery and noticed the date on the old one was 11 years old. I replaced it the same day. I’m ordinarily a fanatic on my...

    Automotive Diagnostic Tool

    I’m thinking fuel not electrical. Without knowing anything else about the car or maintenance history, impossible to diagnose. But depending on last tuneup I would if due change the spark plugs. It could be dirty MAF. I’m going to bet the MAF has probably never been cleaned. That’s the first...

    Help Buying Boat

    Good decision! Most people buy older boats because they are cheap and it’s what they can afford. The problem is that an old cheap boat most often ends up being a very expensive boat because of all the money you have to sink into the boat and motor. You probably wouldn’t buy an automobile that...

    Mixing oil?

    I doubt any harm will be done to an old lawn mower engine by mixing the oils. But why would you want to do that? If it were me I’d just buy a quart of the appropriate oil. A quart of the manufacturers designated oil certainly doesn’t cost very much. Why take a chance?

    Need GPS/Fish Finder Recommendations For New Boat

    All the major brands are pretty good. I’ve had Lowrance and Garmin brands. Liked them both equally. The number one piece of advice I give when looking for a gps/fish finder is get one with the biggest screen you can afford. You will want to use it split screen at least 50% of the time. Using a...

    New Rescue Boat???

    For a shallow river it looks good. But for a 30 mile long deep lake maybe not. I assume the 30 mile long deep lake can get rough, large roller waves when windy. Doesn’t appear that would be the boat to handle rough conditions in a large body of water.

    Boat age vs financing.

    If you are a home owner look into a home equity loan.. Generally decent interest rates and you can deduct the interest from your income tax (If you have enough deductions to item). And with any loan plan to do what ever is necessary to pay it off early, as quickly as possible.
