Level Of Difficulty at Work: 0.5 out of 10
Time During Lunch: Medium

With two bicycles out of commission, i ride the last of my 26"ers, the Downhill bike. As i ride, i remembered that i haven't replaced the bottom bracket yet. So the ride up was crunchy, which was ok by me.

I replaced two spokes on the Rolf Road wheel, but i think i need to replace a third one. Then the road bike will be back! I don't like the Rolf hub, it's this funky weird design that looks more fashion then function. I could see future episodes with broken spokes because of it.

My brother came over with his new toy, the FN FNP-9. He just picked it up monday and came over to clean it (the manual says so), then shoot it, then clean it again. Riiight. So he did. We shot 2 boxes off and its a decent gun. It shoots point-of-impact, so it's slightly low for me.
Pros:
-Single Action at 25 yards was pretty impressive, two handed or not.
-Recoil isn't that bad, it's a snap but not much kick.
-Takedown is super easy, alot like a sig. Comaes apart into 4 pieces.
-My brother likes the fact that it came with a bit of accessories that FN is having a promotion on.
-Single Action is pretty good and crisp
-Look from the top of the firearm and you can see brass! Oooo
-Double action is sig smooth, pretty good for a metal on plastic gun, but theres a few exceptions (see Cons).

Cons:
-Trigger Reset is a bit far away.
-Double Action is REAL far away and it's mad heavy! Try it one handed, all i was thinking was 'pull, pull, pull, pull, come on, pull, pull, what the!, pull pull, bang!'
-The Mag release is a bit too flush to the frame, which rises to meet it. Quick mag changes will be a well learned skill.
-When there is no mag in the gun, the mag release looks and feels like it's an ambidex one, but it's not.. =\
-i hit the decocker by accident, it's easy to do.
-Theres no groove or cut outs for pulling out the mag on double feeds, wassup with that?

We both figured that if you can master the mag changes as well as the double action, you can rule any other firearm. i wonder if theres mods for it.
