teh pf9 has been out a bit, and i haven't seen a bad review. i'll look some up later. it's basicly a scaled down p11 from what i understand, and yeah, it's a single stack. again, IMO, a far better choice for someone just getting into shooting and carrying. the p3at is jsut too small, too hard to handle and not the right caliber for a primary gun. i agree though, the p3at is great when dress requires (or state laws, lol) a smaller weapon. i've carried my p3at to work many times, had cops pull me over and talk to me, and walked into several stores and noone is any the wiser. it's a niche gun, but it doesn't belong in the hands of a beginner, not for carry. sebasto..words like that will get you banned, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Yes, but the majority of people don't know the difference. Don't sell your BPX, you will regret it. Still heading in the Fusion direction? hush you. he's already considering keeping it, don't encourage such bad behavior!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

can a 3d modeling machine make me a 6ft blonde, bisexual and rich female with similiar female friend who crave to be with a 30something, tattoo'd biker? they have to want to throw money at me as well, and i'd prefer both to be 36c (or d),26,36. can they do that? i'll pay. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

all of it? like a certain crown amp that would be totally pimp in the mini?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

take the glass pack off, and go with a true performance muffler. i'd wager you don't have enough backpressure, causing a drop in mileage. samething (sorta) happened with my road king. took teh baffles out, alor more vroom and noise. but gas mileage dropped from 40 to around 30-32. put the baffles back in, i'm back up to 40. and it's an injected bike with intake work and aftermarket slipons (mufflers). wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I've noticed that as well. The northeast is quite lacking. water. the water is better, makes a better beer. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

cool thats wut i needed 2know. thanx, ill b deadening soon you won't always gain by deadening. sometimes it can hurt overall output. however, it will definitely sound better. and yes, deaden your trunk at the very least! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

so how do you wakeboard if the school won't allow a running boat? or did i miss something, lol? glad you're having a blast chris, sounds like fun. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well, the p3at si a purely defensive weapon. kinda why it's so small, so compact and cheap. it's a backup to a primary gun. polish the whole outside, to aide in reliability? so i guess the slide is just hanging up on all those machineing marks, correct? oh, and point out where you said how to in your previous post. and match grade barrels are more then just polished i'm afraid. but again, the OP is a gun newb, why recommend something that takes tweaking to make right? you think a gun that is fairly unreliable in untrained hands is always going to end up being carried by this same person? the frustration of many FTEs and FTFs won't make him want to stop shooting it? please explain how. and just how is he going to know the proper grip it to prevent those faliures? how is he even going to recgonize that it's his grip causing most of those failures? you can polish till the ramp and barrel are bright enough to shave in, still doesn't fix the grip and the failures caused by a bad one. and let's not talk about accuracy due to a bad grip. i never said you didn't know anything about firearms, i said that your opinion on the keltec being a perfect choice for a primary carry gun for a newb is wrong. and it is. and yes, i reload. so? not for everything, but then again, i'm not shooting for sub moa groups. but i'll gladly meet you at the range and we can bang plates all day. you might even be a better shot, i know for sure ryan2 is. but i'll still waste brass with him any day. you as well. this isn't personal. it's about bad advice, period. oh, if you want to recommend a keltec, why not the pf9? single stack 9mm, would be great for a primary cc gun. or the p11? both are far better for a newb, have shown better reliability and offer more firepower for the same money. and i'll wager that by having larger grip frames, they'll be easier to shoot, not too mention more fun as there should be less failures. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

what makes you think i have no idea how a motor functions. the wonders of SSA... if someone ask a question about something THEY MUST HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ANY INS AND OUTS> without trying to be an ass, he's basing his statement on your original question. just how do you think a regulator will aide in mpg? it's sole purpose is to make sure your carb/ efi is getting proper fuel pressure to run right, it honestly has nothing to do with the mpg your car gets. after a carb rebuild, if mpg still isn't where you want it, raise the rear gear. drop a 3.02 or something back there. acceleration with be pathetic, but even that will aide in overall mpg. and don't drive the car intown. highway only. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol, nice. i paid $500 for my 73cb. but with gas being what it is, 2-2.5 times what you paid isn't out of the park. if it's in good shape, and with only 8k on the odo, it should be, lol. keep looking matt, something will pop up. a bonnie or a bsa isn't an easy grab any time. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

whoa, slow down. i don't even know where to start. but i'll say again, the p3at is no weapon for a beginner. and the best carry for price? not even close. what good will it do him if after he misses with the first shot, and i'll wager most will with the p3at, it's jammed because of a FTE? throw it at the person? he'll limp wrist it. most, if not all newbs to the gun will. even keltec will tell you that teh p3at is a BACKUP, not a primary. and it's not designed for 15yds, or 7yds, but more like 7ft. polish the whole barrel? and just how in the hell am i supposed to do that? you polish the feed ramp, you can even take a lil aoff around the breech to aid in extraction/loading, but only if you know what the hell you are doing. get a washer for the recoil spring. that might help a bit in accuracy. but polish the whole barrel? what, the outside? and that does what? and for a total newb, nothing beats a simple as hell snub nose DAO revolver. something along the lines of a ruger sp101, with a spur hammer in 327 magnum. holds 6 and is stronger the .380. (similiar performance to the 357mag.) and around $350-400. one can even grab a rossi .357 snub for right at the cost of a keltec, and it needs no work to be reliable. so just where does this $1k price tag come in? i've only paid that much for one gun and i sure as hell don't carry my 6" 1961 vintage python. you want to bet your life on the keltec as a primary, that's fine. on occasion, in my fine state, i have to do the same. it's a great pocket gun, of that there is no doubt. but it's still just a backup, and it's sure as hell not intended for a beginner. regardless of price. it's your opinion, and i have no problem with that. but in this case, and yeah, i'm being an ass, your opinion is just flat wrong. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I love blockquotes He says a lot's been replaced in the last 1000mi, runs smooth, but is asking $1850 Which seems really steep for a Honda built in 1973, no matter what the condition is...I've got $900 free and clear right now, $1200 seems like a doable offer in a couple weeks.$1850 is a bit steep. he's banking on people wanting the better fuel mileage. $1200 sounds like a good offer, but $900 is roughly half his asking, and that's where i always start. good luck with that jim, that is a good bike to start on. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I'm going tomorrow to check out an '81 CB750 custom that the owner is willing to come down to my price...I guess I'll hear it first-hand to see how it runs (owner says it runs very well, and from the pictures I've seen does look extremely clean), but are there any tips for looking one over to be more sure of what I'm getting? Any places they like to leak, etc...where there are no fairings I'd imagine it's pretty hard or impossible to tell if it's ever been dropped over... Thanks for the input so far. It's been a big help to kinda know I'm on the right track here if it's been laid over, places to look are the pegs. for whatever reason, they'll replace levers, grips and panels, but hardly ever the pegs. look at the side/bottoms of them. you'll know. look at mirrors, or lack of too, that'll be a tell tale sign. if there are spots for mirrors, but none are there, it's probably kissed the pavement. and any outside bolt heads. axle bolts etc. turnsignals. anything that sticks out, look at. leaks? obvious spots. look under the frame, look at all side cases. it's air cooled, so that eliminates one protential problem, lol. look at the chain and where it's at on the adjustment. look at the rear sprocket. look for any signs of wear, and ask when the chain was last replaced. unless it's at the rear of the adjusters, then you'll want to be haggling a bit on the price. a bike really is no different then a car when giving it a once over for purchase. don't be afraid to nitpick on an older scoot like this, unless it is immaculate and he has service records. chances are, you'll be replacing something not long after purchase. sean, if yours is in really good shape, that $1850 range would be a good ball park. i'd ask $2k obo. $2.2k with fairing, probably. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hehe, the only way to roll!! this year i bought one of those big rolls of firecrackers, 1000 count, and a similiar sized saturn rocket firework. those were cool, lol. mini me wants to buy the 15000 count firecracker tube, the fuse is 1" in diameter. but it's also 150 damn dollars. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

mine's up in october, can upgrade all three in august and i'm already digusted with phone pricing. seriously thinking about buying three phones off ebay and not sweating a contract. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

same hole at 15yds? with a p3at? i call bullshit, even with a laser. i own one, have several hunderd rounds through it and at 15yds, with standard "sights", it's good to keep the full mag just in center mass. and yeah, i've polished the feed ramp as well, but that does nothing for accuracy. only reliability, and even then the gun is easy to jam by simply not holding it correctly. so you want to recommend a .380 sub-sub compact back-up, that even in second gen has had some issues, to a gun no0b to carry as a primary? and post your accuracy results on ktog.org, see how many people call you out, or offer to buy your p3at, lol. i'm not trying to stir anything, but comeon. i want video proof of what your are claiming. until then, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Perfect example of why the AR series rifles are not cartried with a round in the chamber. There is no spring on the firing pin and no block for it either. Impact the muzzle of the weapon hard enough and it will discharge from the inertia of the firing pin.Most autopistols are meant to be carried with one in the chamber. For a defensive weapon, you'd almost be stupid not to carry that way. You don't need to carry "cocked and locked" though many weapons are made to be carried that way as well. Whatever condition you carry in needs to be the condition that you practice from. Not just at the range, either. Practice drawing a cleared and empty weapon from your carry rig and readying it to fire (safety off, thumb cock a single action if you carry it hammer down, etc...) No amount of ammo is a replacement for training. If you are not willing to train with your weapon to the point that employing it is second nature, you probably shouldn't be carrying it. You're more a hazzard with it than a help. Your average cop is only marginally qualified to carry a gun. Too few departments empahsize adequate training and when the bullets start to fly that training is what you have to be able to fall back on. Everyone who uses a weapon regularly is scared at that moment. Training is what gets them through it. It's just the same as with any complex task that needs to be performed under stress, repetitve, regular training is essential. can i get an amen??? even in the state i am now, drunk, i trust the practice, teh training i do, will keep me and my family safe. i will dry run my firearm more times then i care to admit, and why? jus tin case i need to do it for real. i don't have to think about it, i just do it. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

the two i live most by are, it's only a stupid mistake if you don't learn from it life is too short to take it seriously regardless of what people might say, 100 years ain't shit in the long run, make the most of what you are given. and if you can't admit or can't see you are wrong, you'll never learn from that. i'll toss in, life's goal isn't to walk into heaven in a perfect body, but rather to slide in sideways yelling at the top of your lungs, damn that was one helluva ride!!! oh yeah, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i can't help myself, i gotta do something stupid at least once a year. it's pure entertainment, lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

that would be cool. especially if the scoots were brought down, as IIRC sanders rides and i know my sensai does. a little mini meet would be the bomb. j, oh i can't learn enough, lol. i so enjoy it it's unreal. i don't care if i win or lose, i just enjoy the compitetion and struggle of it. of course kicking ass is great, lol, but you don't always learn from it. as a corner judge told me after my loss, " sometimes it's better to lose in frustration then to win by destroying your opponet. you can't learn anything if the other person lays down". and he's right. i did learn a few things from it, and i'm already changing my style to suit tounament point fighting better. we'll see if it works, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

that's what i'm doing too!! well, we gotta set off quite a bit of fireworks too!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

and if no pics, bannage! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

great first scoot. i loved my 73 cb750k. easy to mod, easy to ride, though a little heavy and clumsy for the driving test if it's your first bike. though the 500 should be a bit lighter on it's feet. how much is he asking? in great shape, with that age, i'd expect somewhere in the $1200-1500 range. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

look into ssa's new line, it's coming out with an 18. otherwise the ICON would be a fine choice. mach5 spl series of subs. sundown nightshades. combine any of those with sundown power and your a winner! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
