I just got into this recently from a kit my sister gave me. The first batch was crappy (too sweet, not enough carbonation, needed at least another few days to ferment), and I just bottled the second batch. The second recipe is called "Novocaine", and it's pretty potent stuff! There was about a pint and a half left after bottling. So I decided to finish it off. Less than a pint into it, and I'm pretty buzzed! I think after about 80 days in the cellar, this stuff should be pretty good! Any other brewers out there?

I use 4. An Alti-Galaxy on my left hand, a Neptune on my right, an Optima in my ear and the all important MK-I Eyeball. I figure chances of all of these going out in a single jump is next to zero. Its always good too to know one of them doesnt need batteries to work either. So...your eyeballs are battery powered? My Alti-Galaxy doesn't take batteries, either.

That's not the story millertime24 told me. He said when his reserve came out, it looked like the pic in your avatar! Just kidding, thanks for saving my bro, I'd like to keep him around a while longer! The best things in life are dangerous.

Yup, I'll be there.

If I can tell that the makeup is there, that's one of the biggest turn offs for me. Like Lawrocket said, it just makes me think that she's hiding something. The best things in life are dangerous.

I started out on a Spectre 210 loaded at 1:1. Fantastic canopy, and you can learn anything you want with it. Just my $.02, and make sure to get instruction.

That debate will never end. There are upsides and downsides to .45/9mm. Basically stopping power vs. capacity. The best choice varies from person to person. It depends on several factors. My personal choice is 9mm. Let me explain why. Stopping power is worthless if you don't actually hit your target. Standing at the range, well lit, relaxed, with unlimited time is not the same as 3am, grabbing and aiming. The Glock 21 holds 13+1 rounds. My Glock 17 holds 19+1 rounds. 6 extra rounds is a lot of options. I can punch off rounds without worrying too much about running out. The rounds are cheaper, so for the same dollar, I can practice more. Lower recoil is nice. The new Grixxly Xtreme 9mm +P rounds have a tremendous amount of stopping power. Anyone that thinks the 9mm round isn't powerful enough should check into these rounds. One of these will stop someone cold. For a LEO on duty, the larger rounds may make more sense. For home defense or carry, I'll stick with 9mm. Derek V I took the middle road and got a .40 smith for my personal carry. Almost as much punch as a .45, and almost as much capacity as a 9mm. The gun I selected holds 12+1 of .40, but only 8+1 if it's the model chambered for .45. Someone once told me that capacity is for someone who can't hit what they're aiming at, but I disagree and I'd like to have options if the worst should ever happen and I have to use my weapon. I hand load the ammo, so practice isn't too expensive. I personally think that you should carry whatever you are comfortable with and can shoot well, regardless of caliber.

I like the weather, but holy crap, I think I'm just gonna go buy a yellow car to save time and money on all the car washes. Thank God I'm not allergic to pollen! Anyone else getting annoyed by this? The best things in life are dangerous.

I just picked up a USPc in .40SW today for concealed carry. No problem with concealability, and decent firepower with 12 rounds. I agree that the full-size USP is just too big for concealed, though. Heh, your short musket comment just gave me a mental image of somebody carrying concealed with a brace of flintlock musket pistols. Pull those out, and the bad guy won't be able to shoot you because he'll be laughing his ass off. The best things in life are dangerous.

Wow you just described the Church of the Holy SERE School Oh crap... I'm headed out there soon. The best things in life are dangerous.

I don't really mind the travel on the H&K triggers. I'm a big fan of H&K, I wish I could afford them all! Anyone have any experience with the new H&K 45? The best things in life are dangerous.

Glock 357 sig Might as well go for the 10mm auto! Hah! Had a guy try to sell me one last time I was in the gun store to pick up my Ruger. The price was very tempting, but I think the 10mm is kinda pointless. Oh yeah, my vote is for the Ruger, btw. Not to hijack the thread (ok, maybe a little!) what do you all think about the H&K MK23? I know it's pretty unnecessary, but I just want one! The best things in life are dangerous.

They work until about 9k then they don't work anymore. Wow, I really wish someone would have told me that before I called baseops mid-flight a few months ago to report a change in our flight plan...on my cell phone...from 22k feet...and had a conversation with them.

If you allowed the canopy to actually stall, that would just be pilot error. If you touched down (even on roller skates) before it stalled, it wouldn't stall because the WL would drop off dramaticly once your weight was on your skates. You would have to shift your focus from piloting the canopy to kiting the canopy. If you watch the videos of guys landing on the back of a truck or boat, any situation where the pilot stops moving but the canopy still has airspeed, you'll see that they imediately put the toggles all the way up and some times even apply just a touch of double front risers to keep the canopy flying and overhead. Ah, that makes sense. You learn something new every day! The best things in life are dangerous.

Interesting discussion, and if I may be allowed to throw my 2 cents in... Dave, you're right on the money. In my jet, we use both trailing and leading edge flaps to get the final approach and landing speed as low as possible. The reason for this is that, as heavy gross weights (analogous to high wing loadings on a canopy) we are concerned with tire placard speeds and the ability to land without damaging the gear and other aircraft components, as well as controllability issues (higher approach speeds = twitchier and higher probability of over controlling and ballooning in the flare). The same laws of physics apply for canopies. Sure, you could have a greater wing loading, but the question is what will your ground speed be in the flare when your wing runs out of flying airspeed? If it's faster than you can run, you're in trouble. Roller skates *might* work, but would you want to try it? I'd think that the drag from the stalled canopy would drop you on your ass as soon as you touched down, so no thanks!

Or just get one of these and be done with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CheyTac_Intervention The best things in life are dangerous.
