They want $366 to replace top radiator hose. $679 to replace front control arm bushings, plus $200 for alignment.

All parts are around $200 online and will take me couple of hours to install. I'll just take it back in to get alignment done

$679 for FCAB They're $100 online for OEM; Pelican has them for even cheaper I bet.

Was this all from 30 again? Looks like everything is left to upper left.
There is a little circular chart in the form of a bullseye that illustrates common mistakes for the corresponding area that your spread is in at the range I shoot at (ie anticipating recoil, breaking your wrists, ect).. If I wasn't on my phone id look for it on gooogle. Maybe other members know what in talking about. It helps me a bunch and is usually surprisingly accurate.

On another note: a buddy of mine just got his concealed permit here in ND. A one hour class and he's now running around with his handgun around his waist under his shirt.

This was about split between 5-15-20ish yards. Yea, I noticed I'm left for sure.

Also, my XD F2F'd again today with a brand new mag, and mid-mag while firing.

I'm working on Collins left issue. One hour is NOT enough for CCW IMO. I fully support it, but jeezus, one hour?

I fell the same way. From what I gather, there is some decently extensive testing/proficiency tests that you need to complete in addition to classroom time.

Still certainly way easier than most states

Heres that chart I was talking about

I bet he (assuming it was for your son) is stoked.

Practice makes perfect. Keep it up. If you are not doing this already, wherever you hit the target first, concentrate on putting all of your follow-up shots as close to the initial impact as possible.

On a side note . . .

Here is a little teaser :

If you're shooting left, its usually an issue with trigger pull of some kind, Sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze the trigger until the gun goes off, not pull the trigger to shoot.

I had to fight this for a long time, also comp triggers really help, but thats more of a band-aide then actually fixing the issue.

I bought some snap caps to do some dry fire work at home and build up some proper mucscle memory. Also if you really want to see what you are doing blind load one or two snap caps in your magazine at the range. The first time you hit one you will see what you have to work on.

This.

There should be no flinch when you hit the snap cap. I had a magazine that wasn't catching the slide when empty and i wasn't counting rounds as i shot. When i would hit the empty chamber i would still have a slight to the left flinch. I was still making 3" groups at 7yds shooting at a fairly quick pace but that group was about 1" high and to the left of where i was aiming.

Would like to get rid of the flinch.

Anyone have any experience shooting a pistol with this type of front & back strap? Mike....

I'm told that Ed Brown sells a ton of their special forces model with this type of treatment. So someone must like it i suppose. Just not sure as to what kind of grip this offers.
