Oh well, the G-friend is getting a little annoyed with the, "check it out! I'm really fast at this!" anyway. :wink:
Well, like you said, it's what you do with it, not the size of the pick... :twisted:

Haha, nice! What was it?

I'd suggest getting something like a Yale standard next. It's got 2 security pins in it, either in 2 & 4, or in 2 & 5, so it is a bit more challenging. You might want to pull it apart and take one out to start with. (Don't get an X5! Get an older one.)
