Baby Glock 26s are impressive performers. They run and track just like a full size G17. Reloads on the clock are a little clumsy due to the short magazine.
It is a 43X clone pretty sure.


I have two tubs on my work truck. One with random nuts, bolts and screws. The other has some specialty screws and other little parts from older equipment. About once a month I'll get a call from a service tech asking if I have XYZ for a system. I tell the young guys that they need to strip certain parts from old equipment when they replace it because they are now unobtainable.
I have a retired 4 drawer filing cabinet FULL of random nuts and bolts from my time in the dealership as the steering/suspension/alignment guy. Me and everyone I know calls it the “Magic Bolt Box”.
 
Agreed.

We need to get our shit straight on efficient nuclear power plants, preferably fusion which seems to be getting really close.
Done correctly, we should be able to step right off of coal and gas fired plants onto nukes.

If we could do that, we could concentrate on running our ICE vehicles off of hydrogen. Super clean and with the help of some rednecks in Alabama and Louisiana there should be options to give them toxically masculine exhaust noise if one wished.


At the same time, we need to dump serious $ into beefing up the current distribution/grid.
Closer than you think

When we were in our early 50’s, we felt the need to hire a financial planner, to help decide where we needed to go income/ employment/ and tax wise. He was not cheap. After giving up several lunches to provide him with information and hear out his ideas, we fired him and sadly took a big dollar loss

Why fire him? His financial plan….Purchase a very expensive life insurance policy, so expensive that we could only afford the bare basics of life, using every penny of expendable income to pay for the policy. Including sell everything we owned but one car and our home, again to afford the policy. Then when we turned 90 years of age, we would get a $500,000 payout.

My beloved Brenda, got even more aggressive with our savings and we retired with a nice pension and more in savings than his live like hermits in a hut life insurance policy would provide.

I complained to his company (American Express) to no avail.


I still have my father’s drill, same principle, different handle.
 
Runs great, about 850rds in.

LMAO! The stippling was far too aggressive for my tastes, hence the grip tape.

Yep, 43x clone. SCT frame, PSA slide, shield arms S15 G3 mags and release, all Glock internals.
If GG doesn’t bring out their 43x soon I will get a SCT frame for my next clone.

Sounds like it runs well!

I introduced my buddy Toni to guns and trained her to run her Glock and her AR. She has a G48mos, I bought her 4 PSA 15rd mags for Christmas 😊
 
ALL "green" and "alternative" energy production concepts have failed, or are on the verge of failure.

Nuclear produce 0 "Greenhouse Gasses" (I use quotes because everything is a greenhouse gas these days).

Nuclear is 100% successful proven Green Energy.

"Greenies" don't like it because "Nukes bad" and know dick about science.

There’s the Ford GT 40

Then there’s the Ford MK4

They Arn’t the Same. The MK 4 has a completely different chassis and body and was made by a completely different company. the GT40 was a developmental of the Lola by Eric Bradley in England and the MK 4 used a honey comb structure made by Kar Kraft a subsidiary of ford Motor Company and was entirely a US Ford product.

1) The carbon footprint of nuclear power is non-zero when construction, decommissioning, and post operational waste management are considered. Largest CO2 releases are probably from bureaucrats during permitting. Soup to nuts, eh?
2) The amount of radiation released by coal stockpiled onsite at big baseload electric plants and through stack emissions exceeds that released by nuclear plants, unless there's an accident.
3) Recycling fuel increases the benefits of nuclear power, but at the risk of proliferation/inventory loss, and different reactor designs are needed to deal with recyclable fuels.

It's a pretty complex equation...and expensive to solve. I believe that the US should definitely be leaning towards more micro/mini nuclear plants.

Got to tour the Byron nuke plant back in 2019; pretty cool.

A couple fun facts about nuclear power:

- A single uranium fuel pellet contains as much energy as a ton of coal.
- All the nuclear waste ever produced by all the nuclear plants could fit on a single football field.
- If someone says solar is better than nuclear, just tell them solar is nuclear at a distance.
