The Graco Ultra Quickshot seems reasonable at $1200, bu
I have a TC Pro cordless, solid and has done a great job on a number of projects over the years. If I was in the market again I would probably get the Ultra QuickShot II. I am already in the Dewalt ecosystem so I have lots of batteries.
You calling anyone else a mush head is hilarious. You are one of the least educated, dumbest posters on this site...:lol:
I have a SA Mil-spec, plain jane 1911 but that's what I wanted.

For heat to do work, it has to have quantity AND quality. A whole lot of low quality heat is basically worthless here. There's a lot of thermal energy dumped into the cooling system of a data center but it has to be concentrated to do useful work and concentrating it isn't really feasible. Things like heating and de-icing don't require that much concentrated heat but plumbing in that water would probably not be cost effective either. Maybe a couple of hydronic loops to de-ice some of the parking lot and sidewalks but not much beyond that.

I know most were, but some certainly weren't.

Smith & Wesson hasn’t been know for quality in many years, every gun they make is second or third fiddle to something else.
The M&P series have been pretty damned solid, the issues are found in their "traditional" product lines (which Colt, Ruger, and several others have had issues with too). I think that's a big reason why Ruger is putting those products on hiatus while they homogenize manufacturing with updated tools. You look at a Korth revolver, you don't see a forging that is later machined in various cells/manual machines with a different person along the way, you see something precision CNC milled from a solid billet in as few machines as possible. Kind of like Rolex, CNC everything where a CNC does it better than a human, humans where they still do it better than a computer (final hand fitting/assembly/QC). Much like what happened with Marlin when Remington acquired them, lots of old machines that could produce quality products when the operator had many years of experience both in what they were making but in the quirks of the machine itself. When that operator retired, a new guy had a steep learning curve, probably well beyond their capacity, while also having to produce quality parts.
Another option is to just use a portable inflator, I have a little Milwaukee M12 inflator for tires and such, so much easier and more convenient that using one of my compressors. I can have the inflator hooked up and running faster than I can hook up a hose, tire chuck, and wait for a compressor to cycle up. I can set the inflator to a target PSI and walk away while it runs, no need to run a separate tire pressure gauge.

He doesn't have to spoon feed the obvious solutions to morons like you. Unlike your pathetically underpowered intellect, lot of trade folks know to keep their own supply of TP/wet wipes/hand sanitizer and antibacterial hand wipes exist too. Not just people in the trades but military people know this stuff when going to the field too. Amazing how retards like you out yourselves...:lol:

Think there were some that said similar when Ruger bought Marlin. They were wrong too.

I had one in .30-06, put it in a Boyd's stock, stuck a Nikon optic on it, shot well with just about everything I fed it. Sold it a few years ago with the intent of getting something else or building something.

They don't get enough love, I got an 18" stainless version a little over 10 years ago, it has a Vortex scout optic on it now but the iron sights are excellent.

I have a GP100 Match Champion, a Red Label O/U, and a GSR...always like Ruger for their non-mainstream offerings.
