That’s why you have the capability of saving I think up to 4 fingerprints. Orrrrr buy a new iPhone. I’d have to lose my face to have a problem.
You know a photo of a face will get you access to a phone too!🤣🤣🤣

Incorrect.
They must have improved that feature because I tried that after my first wife braggingly said how secure her tablet was (circa 2011) so I grabbed her picture off the living room wall and successfully opened her tablet by using her picture for the facial recognition. She immediately changed to a pass code.

That should have all been my first hint of a red flag 🤷‍♂️

As the gun market becomes increasingly competitive, I think flashy guns are gonna become much more common, especially among younger adults.

Add to that high pressure ammo as new metal technology makes 50Kpsi a reality for many more calibers. Maybe even a return to bottle neck designs just to be different... Again.

Anyway, just a WAG.

I like the low bore axis. Speaking of chamber pressure, I wish I had the capability to measure it while I still develop my 9mm wildcat.

Won't one of those glue-on piezo things work?

I'd look up the details but I imagine you already have.

From what I've read and I could be wrong, they (Saami and CIP) although slightly different from one another, use a special barrel and chamber contraption to take measurements with. If would be awesome to be able to have something that adapts to individual firearms to use though.

That's one method. It's my understanding there is another way to do it, but I don't remember it.

I BELIEVE Gila may referring to the RSI Pressure Trace system, where you glued a strain gauge over the chamber then used factory ammo to "calibrate" it. You then compared your loads to the factory ones.
Unfortunately, they went out of business some time around 2022-23, and no one else is selling anything similar, that I can find
