3/28/2023 0 Comments Hi point 9mm![]() ![]() Fine, let’s finish this magazine and see what happens. My first thought: the concussion I suffered five days previous has seriously distorted my shooting ability. At three yards, I have failed to put the round anywhere on the paper.įaced with the prospect of running the target “home” to confirm my suspicions of failure-and showing blank paper to the shooter’s to my left and right-I take aim again and turn my concentration inward. Lowering the pistol to low-ready, I peer downrange at my work. The sights remain on target throughout the entire epic. And while we’re waiting fo something to happen, please note that arthritic shooters need not apply the C9′s nine-pound plus trigger pull will likely break your finger before a bullet comes out the other end.Įventually, the C9 trigger breaks and round one travels down range. Squeeze … squeeze … squeeeeeeeze … SQUEEEEEEZE. My sights were perfectly aligned on the bull.Īs I took-up the trigger slack I felt a bit of side-to-side “wiggle.” Odd yet manageable. It’s a fine distance for putting FMJ rounds on paper and concentrating on the function of the pistol. I’d set a standard “bulls-eye” target at three yards. Click here for my previous range report]. Moving right along, let’s shoot the thing and see how it performs. When I fired this pistol for the first time, the action of the ZAMAK slide contacting, rubbing against, and trying to take off the skin on the top of my thumb, was a wee bit uncomfortable. In the picture below, you’ll see that there’s a significant amount of overlap. In the above picture, you’ll notice a slight overlap of the skin on my thumb and the bottom edge of the heavy slide, just aft of the safety-off indicator. ![]() The discomfort starts when you fire the pistol. Again, I’m not implying that the C9 is uncomfortable to hold. Here’s a comparison between the ergonomic and aesthetic similarities of the C9’s pot metal slide and a common mason’s brick. They must have been using technology from the future. Somehow, the folks at Colt had figured out how to make their blowback pistol slides not-so gianormous right around 1900 when they introduced the model 19 hammerless pistols. (The mass of the heavy slide keeps the breech closed until the round has exited the barrel, then the energy imparted by the fired round operates the slide and cycles the pistol.) The C9’s slide borders on behemoth. The Hi-Point rep told me the gun needs a beefy slide to compensate for both the single-action blowback design and the pistol’s light polymer frame. Worse, it can be left at any degree of on/off while you’re manipulating it.Įrgonomically, the Hi-Point C9 fits the hand decently enough. Flicking the thumb safety in a firing grip requires a good deal of effort it must be pressed firmly, like a square peg through a round hole. Hi-Point calls it the “quick on/off thumb safety.” Operating the switch is about as fast as a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter uphill. Too bad that extra bit of plastic wasn’t added to the nearly-impossible-to-operate-from-a-firing-grip safety. The Hi-Point C9 ships with a rear Ghost-ring sight (as well as an extra rear peep sight, FYI). At $155, that wouldn’t be hard to accomplish. I was ready for the C9 to exceed my expectations, expecting it to blow me away. ![]() ![]() Pistol in hand, it was finally time to get down to business. So imagine my surprise and delight when Manassas Guns and Ammo Warehouse called and told me “Your Hi-Point is here.” Hi-Point’s marketing mavens had decided to send us a C9 after all. If you want a Hi-Point to try to destroy you will need to run one down for yourself, to be honest we are so busy shipping c-9’s out I really don’t want to break a case of 10-and I don’t think its fair to send you one to destroy when I have customers wanting them to enjoy. They’d decided against sending us a pistol.Īfter further consideration, I am going to pass on sending you a c-9 to torture test, we have had many different writers and independent’s do this type of thing to several calibers of the Hi-point products, all have attained the same end…Hi-Points are built like a “TANK” they just keep running and are nearly indestructible ( just view the most recient You Tube hi-point attempted destruction test ). The candles at my dinner table burned to the nub with no one showing up to enjoy the cuisine I’d slaved over for hours on end. ![]()

![]() ![]() I wouldn't be desperately looking for a better implementation of tasks if Google had bothered to to implement some useful features such as reoccurring scheduling and the ability for a task to float beyond its scheduled due date. Third, implementing Googles implementation of tasks into your third party calendar app is a start but leaving your implementation of of tasks as featureless as Googles implementation of tasks is a waste of both yours and my time. This seems to be another thing that Android based calendar developers just do not understand. If the only way I can take advantage of this is through your third party Android based calendar app and there is no way I can show those tasks on my Windows based calendar, forget it.your implementation of tasks is useless to me. ![]() I don't care if it can schedule reoccurring tasks and even if it can make the tasks float beyond a scheduled due date. Secondly, implementing your own implementation of tasks that is only supported by your Android based app is not doing anyone any favors. ![]() Their inability to comprehend that is beyond my comprehension. I don't understand why developers can't seem to understand why it is important to see both your events and tasks laid out together in a monthly view. I want the events and the tasks to be color coded so that a glance at the widget not only tells me what I have coming up later in the day or week but will also give me a quick idea of where best to schedule another upcoming event or task. I am talking about how it implements tasks.įirst of all, for all of those calendar apps that ignore tasks altogether and insist that there are plenty of 3rd party task apps in the Play Store, I want to see all of my events and tasks in a month view widget on one of my launchers home screens. ![]() Yes, it has been around forever (still gets regular updates though) and the UI is a bit dated looking but Calengoo gives me something that no other Calendar app does and most Calendar app developers simply do not understand. There are various other calendars that can be imported and added to your schedule. There are seven different views to pick from, along with six different widgets to throw on your home screen.Īre you a fan of a couple of sports teams, but don't want to manually add the schedules? DigiCal makes it easy to import those schedules from the app, and they'll sync across your devices so you can figure out what time the game is tomorrow. DigiCal even provides notifications for events, or lets you know when you need to leave to make your appointment on time. That makes DigiCal that much easier to use.ĭigiCal gives you all the tools you need to keep track of what's on the agenda for the next week, month, year, or beyond. The look gives the app that Google feel, and it's a relief to not have a jarring or drastically different design. When you open DigiCal, it almost looks like a calendar app that Google designed. Source: Andrew Myrick / Android Central (Image credit: Source: Andrew Myrick / Android Central) Overall, if you've enjoyed using other Google products and apps, you'll be more than happy with everything that Google has included here. Google Calendar also works with Google Assistant, so you can ask your Assistant to add an item to your calendar and be done with it. If it didn't already come pre-loaded on your phone, you can get it for free. You can create events or set reminders right out of the notification bar, which is extremely convenient. It will also automatically scan your Gmail and add reservations for flights, restaurants, and more if you grant it permission. With the power of Google behind it, this app is smart enough to suggest titles, contacts, and places as you type in your event information. Google's calendar app is more than capable to handle all your scheduling needs while keeping things simple and clean. It's not just for Google stored calendars, either it's designed to support "all calendars on your phone, including Exchange." Google's own calendar app has been refined over the years and is now both elegant and functional. Sometimes the stock program is more than enough.

GC: We should have something later today, but it’ll only be a first impressions as Capcom had no way of sending the update early and so we’ve only just started.Īfter the reviews I hadn’t planned to play Atomic Heart even though it’s on Game Pass, but as my PlayStation VR2 hasn’t been dispatched yet I have a few days to try it. You joked in your review that maybe you should wait for the VR3 in seven years time, but I do wonder if that’s not the best idea really. I have a PlayStation VR but I haven’t pulled the trigger on the new one yet, in part because of the lack of games but also the fact that I’m not yet convinced that it, or any new headset, is enough of an advancement. From my experience third person games actually work better in VR, or at least have less bugs and glitches, but obviously you lose some immersion and that’s especially important for video games. I’m especially interested to know whether the VR mode for 4 will us third person or a new first person view. Very curious to hear about Resident Evil Village working in VR too, as I haven’t seen anything hand-on about that yet, which is a bit disappointing. Super pumped for Resident Evil 4 remake and very glad to hear that a VR mode is also in the works. The idea that there is a correct opinion, that some reviews fail to reach, is a very harmful concept on several levels. I thought the text of both reviews gave good reasoning for the score and I am very much in the GameCentral camp on this one, as I personally find Kirby games boring but it’s quite nice to see differing opinions on a game. Interesting to see GameCentral’s review of the Kirby Wii remaster, giving a 5/10, and Nintendo Life’s review giving a 9/10. I’m pretty sure we’ve had plenty of science fiction films warning us of the dangers of companies that are too big to say no to but, like most things lately, it all seems to be coming true anyway. I don’t even care about Call Of Duty, I just don’t like to see a mega corp like this throwing their money around and pulling wool over the eyes of people that are supposed to be experts. I mean, by that logic I’m the richest man in the country, as long as you don’t count anyone with more money than me. That whole pie chart thing with Sony and Microsoft was just ridiculous. ![]() Microsoft’s tactics seem super transparent to any gamer listening in but I think most of these regulators are just going to take it at face value. This whole Microsoft business is really getting unpleasant now. Which would actually explain Sony’s silence: why tell everyone you’ve got nothing coming out when you can still let them think there’s more to come. I’d imagine there’s probably a couple of smaller titles due, perhaps this Twisted Metal reboot that’s been rumoured, but I think Spider-Man 2 and The Last Of Us might be it for this year. ![]() 3/28/2023 0 Comments Damon ps2 bios usa![]() Furthermore, we do not host or link to any kind of copyrighted BIOS files.

Pippen (three points on 0-7 shooting) and Olajuwon (eight points on 3-10 shooting) struggled mightily in the loss.įacing elimination, Houston received great performances from Pippen (37 points, 13 rebounds and four assists) and Barkley (30 points, 23 boards and five dimes) as they won easily 102-88 in Game Three. In the second game, the Lakers jumped out to an early lead and led by as much as 23 points in a 110-98 victory and a 2-0 series lead. Rockets guard Cuttino Mobley had his layup attempt blocked by Lakers center Shaquille O’Neal as time expired and the Lakers took Game One 101-100. In the latter stages of the first game, Lakers guard Kobe Bryant drew a foul on Rockets guard Sam Mack with 5.3 seconds left and nailed two free-throws to give the Lakers a one-point lead. The 1999 postseason saw the Rockets duel with the Los Angeles Lakers in the opening round. The Rockets also played a much slower pace than Pippen preferred. A career 32.8% shooter from beyond the arc, Pippen wasn’t the ideal perimeter threat to play off of Barkley and Olajuwon. ![]() Known for his time as a master ball-handler, cutter, passer and post up player in Chicago’s triangle offense, Pippen was relegated to a spot-up shooting role and a background role in Houston’s offense. Though Pippen was a capable post entry passer, that style of basketball clashed with his game. The Rockets’ goal was to force the opposition to double team the two future Hall of Famers who would subsequently kick the ball out to the open man. ![]() Houston’s offense was built around post-ups for Olajuwon and Barkley. He also shot 43.2% from the field, the lowest shooting percentage of his career up until that point. Pippen also managed 6.5 RPG, 5.9 APG, 2.0 SPG and 0.7 BPG in 50 games and 40.2 MPG. Pippen was slow to adjust to Houston’s offense, posting 14.9 PPG, his lowest scoring average since his second season in the league. However, Houston faltered down the stretch going 9-10 to finish 31-19 and in fifth place due to a tiebreaker loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. A nine-game winning streak in late-March got the Rockets to 22-9 and third in the West. Houston won five of their first six games during the 1998-99 season, but was inconsistent throughout. With rookies Michael Dickerson and Cuttino Mobley in the backcourt along with Pippen, Olajuwon and Barkley, the Rockets had a new-look team. A free agent at the same time, Barkley took a pay-cut so the Rockets could acquire Pippen. ![]() Pippen essentially replaced the recently retired Clyde Drexler in Houston’s veteran trio with Charles Barkley and Hakeem Olajuwon. Soon after the lockout ended, the Bulls signed Pippen to a five-year, $67 million deal and subsequently dealt their perennial All-Star forward to the Houston Rockets in a sign-and-trade deal for big man Roy Rogers. Longing for a new contract, Pippen finally got his wish, but on a new team. One key figure in Chicago’s dynasty was Scottie Pippen who had been in a toxic relationship with Bulls management. ![]() When the NBA lockout happened in 1998 and lasted up until January of 1999, no one knew if the Chicago Bulls would be able to make another run after their “Last Dance” championship run in 1998. On October 2nd, 1999, the Houston Rockets traded forward Scottie Pippen to the Portland Trail Blazers for forward-guard Stacey Augmon, center Kelvin Cato, forward Walt Williams, forward-center Carlos Rogers, and guards Brian Shaw and Ed Gray.
