second for red wings. ive worn iron rangers every day for nearly five years. they definitely need a resole, hard for me to do cause theyre my only shoes/boots. they fit like a slipper at this point.
Not true. Technical support varies hugely between brands. With some brands you'll be waiting 6 weeks for a part if you can get ahold of anybody at all, meanwhile other brands will straight up replace a unit for free if they can't get you a part immediately. They're also not all built equal. There's vast differences in quality, performance and efficiencies between different brands and models of systems.
Do they ever run sales? I don't know if I could justify paying nearly $50 for two pairs of socks.
I understand how you feel but I promise you its worth it. Deals can be found if you look for military surplus. A few places that you can search are:
CO2 is also an excellent way to get rid of trapped raccoons and other pests.
Great idea to check military surplus stores. Any other online retailers you'd recommend?
That's simply not the case. The bubble is impressive looking but you need to know what you're looking at. The darker color line in the middle of the 9mm and .45 tests is the permanent wound channel, which is the actual damage done. The lighter color is the temporary wound channel, which, in order to do serious damage, such as hemorrhaging, needs to be large enough to overcome the elasticity of the tissue it passes through. None of the 3 main service calibers do that. Rifle rounds do that, which is why 5.56x45mm, despite being a significantly smaller and lighter bullet, is far more lethal than any of the pistol calibers mentioned. The energy dumped into the target by a 5.56 is enough to cause the tissue to literally rip apart, causing often fatal internal hemorrhaging.
Tire hardness (ie longevity) and grip are an inherent tradeoff. Winter-only/snow tires tend to be much softer compounds since they'll only see cold weather.
I've been meaning to do this, do you have any tips?
Yes there have been. And in at least one study the average documented amount of rounds of 9mm necessary to kill is literally triple that of .45 ACP or 10mm. This is ignoring the reality that if you are concealed carrying you are going to have about 7 - 10 rounds anyway. The last thing you want is for the person robbing you to return to full health after a hospital visit and then testifying that you were actually the bad guy. Combine this with both Glock and Hi-Point producing cheap weapons chambered in fuddy-five now (something they would not realistically consider if 9mm was truly good enough) and there is no reason not to carry your grandpa's fat bullets, outside of you having weak girly wrists. Don't bring up P+ either because that just causes the same problems I just listed, where cops and lawyers will try to fuck you for using "murder bullets."
Do any of these account for hollow point? All the diagrams show completely linear tracks. I am wary of larger calibers because I want to bethe most reasonably certain that the bullet does not exit the target or penetrate the backdrop.
I like my Thuma bed frame but its pricy. You might be able to get their returns/rejects for cheaper.
