Never have. Not planning on it. Though I'll admit I've added a little water to open up some of the cask strengths that are mid to high 50% ABV. I find the 43-46% is the sweet spot for me. Like the Ardbeg 10, quite a number of Macallan's, etc.

Well, there we have it then - you are a sin against nature. And to compound things, you drink Chivas.

The biggest issue is the magazine springs are very weak and won’t feed the next round cleanly. Never tried to correct the issue as it wasn’t something that needed to be done. It was only about $75 new and said what hell and I took a chance on it. It’s somewhere in the back of one of my safes and haven’t used it in years.

The other is on the opposite side of the reliability spectrum. It’s a Beretta 21A in .22lr and hasn’t missed a beat in over 30 years of owning it. It shoots everything I feed it and it’s a fun little pistol that disappears in the pocket. It’s obviously not primary carry but a good back up and just a fun little pocket rocket to cheaply plink at the range or woods with.
Yeah it's not a term you hear much for a back up firearm. These littles arent known for long distance accuracy

I'm cheap. What do you want from me? At least it isn't Jim Beam. I'd rather spend my meager funds elsewhere.....something Rosso Corsa...

I guess I'll have to give you credit on the Jim Beam comment. I think you were looking at an exhaust and having some work done - what happened on that front?

Any sound clips if you put an exhaust on? Can link to fchat if you posted there.

Went on vacation and then work got busy. We just did a debt mod to the tune of about $561,000,000.

Exhaust is done. Capristo and and fabspeed headers. I probably need to do some sort of video, but havn't bothered.

Here is someone else's 360 with the same exhaust and headers. Sounds the same.

Little jelly to be honest. Happy for you though, that's awesome!

Cool! The 355-360 era is when I was working at Ultrasmith in Manhattan. I drove a lot of those. We used to put Tubi exhaust in every Ferrari. Your video sounds deeper than the systems we installed.

Here is a pic of a 360 i was working on literally on 9/11/01. I made these 10" sub enclosures and installed 2 McIntosh amplifiers without ever putting a single hole in the vehicle. I used all OEM mounting points. (Hope it's clear this in an image of the install unfinished)

Good luck with the horse!

Having said that the training was changed at the same time to a much more combat style and the ammunition we switched to was night and day.

I have a Glock 22, I missed my departmental issue when I retired so felt I needed one (kind of like my wobbie), but I got a 9mm barrel and mags for it. Mostly because it's easier to get 9mm non jacketed ammo (club where I shoot requires non-jacketed on the indoor range) and it's cheaper. Having said that I don't notice any difference between shooting the 9mm and .40 in terms of control, recoil and accuracy......

Sorry, got off topic from the meme.....which is on point and funny as shit.

Can anyone recommend a lockable safe/hard case that will fit under a bed for a single shotgun under $200? Preferably with some kind of quick access for emergencies, like a biometric scanner, or quick keycode. Padlock and combination are a no-go since I would like to retain quick access.

My gunsafe is in the office closet, but I'd like to put the shotgun under our master bed.
