Quick question for anyone who has done a build with a SCT 19 frame. I'm thinking of going with a Strike 80 magwell, but I'm a little concerned about magazine compatibility. If anyone has this combination, do you know if Gen 5 magazines work, or would I be better off sticking with older ones?

Hi all. I used to be a welder and a jeweler (I still am a jeweler on the side), but I don't know if I'm up for a 76% P80 build for my first one. After digging through here and reading and googling for the last week, it looks like the Geisler Defense is the only unserialized 80% option left. Am I missing something? Is the v2 reliable? I saw issues with the first generation of them, and the slide gap is still there, but I'm unclear as to whether that is actually an issue or if it's just cosmetic.

Any advice?

I love my 2014 Jetta. I really do. But it's time. The DPF is toast, and now it's throwing P2015 and going into limp mode if I give it anything more than light throttle. I have a cheap scanner and can get it out of limp mode, but it'll go back in the next time I need to drive it. The shop is telling me that in addition to doing the DPF, I need a new intake manifold. I'm physically disabled, and can't do a delete myself, and can't find anyone here to help do it, so I think it's time to give up.

I didn't intend to end up this way, but I found myself with, at least for my XD Mod.3, having separate home/defense magazines and range magazines. Here's what happened. It came with one 16rd magazine, and I bought two more. Then I got a good deal on a pair of 10rd magazines. I ended up loading up the two 10rd magazines with my defensive hollowpoints, and using the three 16rd ones for going to the range, because in my head, it saves a little reloading time at the range (and honestly, if I need more than even 10 rounds in a defensive situation, given my mobility disability in my legs, the reality is that I'm likely already dead).

Anyone else find themselves doing something similar?

Honestly, I think this is my last time going. I remember coming out for the 50th in July of 2005. We did almost the same thing then as we are doing this time; 5 day park hoppers, 2 days at Universal Studios, and back then we did 1 day at Sea World and 3 free days, this time it's a day at the Aquarium of the Pacific and 4 free days. Both times were at the Homewood Maingate., then stopping in Las Vegas for a couple of nights on the way home (which I get the room comped through the Myvegas game).

Back then it was about $1000 per person (4 of us). This time it's about $4000 per person. I did the math, since I'm a teacher and was curious. $1000 in 2005, adjusted for inflation, is equal to $1700 today. So it's not an inflation issue; it's a greed issue. And I'm calling it. For that money I could fly to Japan and stay there for two weeks and go to Tokyo Disney, and still have money to spare. Which honestly sounds more tempting now anyway.

Anyone else feeling that way?
