Ol' Red didn't come with an alarm. It does have however, a security system- with backup.

I've been a gun collector, instructor shooter and hunter for 35 years.
That 44mag is way to much. It would go through the bad guy, your walls, one of your loved ones and possibly into your neighbors house.
I use my PT99, 16 shots with Glaser bullets that won't do any damage to anything or anybody except the bad guy very effectively. If it hit a person or a wall it stops. It will do more damage to a human because it fragments and you have a better chance of doing deadly damage than a single large caliber bullet because of the extreme fragmentation that will more chance of hitting vital organs because of multiple projectiles than a single bullet. http://www.firearmstactical.com/briefs5.htm.
Be careful, everybody wants to be Dirty Harry but it puts other people in danger.
A shot gun is my second choice with very small dove shot that will make even the meanest bad guy play dead.
I have sold most of my collection because of a serious back injury and I am afraid of aggravating a nerve.
Bird I hope you get it fixed. I talked to you in this forum awhile back and I still need my new knob with the stem installed for my lights.
I tried again and just pulled the vacuum hoses off the switch and had a heck of a time putting them back on. It happened on the day AAA was coming over to give me a new classic car insurance for my 81 Vette.
Whenever you have time or I can have Coast or Mike's put it in.

True enough. I'll get it, but every time I take the dam door panels off, I swear it will be the last.
I really don't have any trouble with the car except stupid stuff. Usually directly tracible to inferior repop crap.

Join the club....I hate putting on even the new door insulation/weatherstrip, that A pillar forces the glass out so it no longer contacts the old convertible top weatherstrip....
:crap: yet again something else to week through...

Yep. Trim is a PITA. I would rather wrench anyday, and usually do. I fixed the A/C's in 3 different cars yesterday, and hate the idea of pulling even one door panel again.
I replaced the regulator in my Silverado a few days ago. Didn't even start till after dinner, and was done before dark. The new cars are "easy" in that department.

See Gene. That's the thing. I rebuilt both doors when I went thru the car. Stripped them down, rebuilt the regulators, installed new power actuators, new window motors, new lock cylinders, cleaned and lubed everything. Heat insulation, plastic water gurad, new door panels, arm rests, trim, the whole 9 yards. EVERTHING new or tip-top shape. Years of trouble free service, now this crap. Just burns me to no end.
All the mechanics of the car I did, no problems. Hell, the brakes are 10 years old or more.:bullshit:

Once again, join the club man, I stuck new Yogi Bear regulators in there on converting to p/w back when I replaced the interior and did a bunch of rebuilding...got the rear suspension totally replaced, must have dumped 5 grand into the car....within say 4 months of owning it....all the mechanicals...basically if it moved, it was replaced, except the heavy driver train parts...engine was essentially new...Muncie was great, so was diffy....
so suspension, belt drive, radiator, alternator a/c comp....brakes, and the p/w conversion....but of course that spring broke after me taking the glass out for my ill fated paint job....can't win...

Even bad ass Chuck knows his limitations. If a bad guy has a gun, Judo is useless. Hard to fight with a big hole in your chest.
Sorta like the guy that bring a knife to a gun fight.

big2bird,
Mine stick a little. I pulled the door panels and lubed up all the moving parts.
Doesn't work like new but is much better.
My car is just like your 81 and anything that old is bound to get a hitch in it's get along every once in awhile. I keep mine in the garage and just drive it on weekends and thank God after two years everything works well.

There was some stupid 'action flick' or other where one guy had a gun, and out comes this ninja type kicking and posing....he looks at the gun and blows the guy away.....
one of the funnier moments of movie history AFAIK.....
