Glad you were safe. I imagine it's a lot easier to say "it's just stuff" until you actually lose it all. I hadn't even thought about this until we bought our house and read the fine print on the homeowners insurance about the coverage not including jewelry and firearms, and it was on a separate...

This. If there's still Iron in it it can rust. Or at least *I* can rust it.

500 Internet sarcasm points, and you missed 'em.

The one I'm running is probably older than I am. I put a little oil on the ram piston, then wipe down anything I've touched and give it a shot of Remoil. If you run in Auto Index mode, you'll want to keep a few of the nylon index grommets handy. They wear out every thousand rounds or so.

How does the Primary Arms 1-6x compare to this? Has anyone here seen or used one? https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary-Arms-1-6X-Scope-with-Patented-ACSS-Reticle-p/paps1-6x.htm

Hoping and praying your mom beats cancer. Lost my father a year ago to cancer. I wouldn't wish any of it on anyone.

Any experience with the Winchester SuperX2 & SX3 models for 3-Gun use? Why'd they get away from the 300yd shots?

Exactly. My thinking would be that if you used a red dot in competition and had a lot of practice with it, and were *fast* with it there; why wouldn't you be able to be fast with it in your house? Conversely, I wouldn't put one on my HD gun if I had never run a red dot on a handgun.

As a Carry gun I could see it being a bit of a nuisance, but then people carry with tac lights too. As a Home Defense gun, it should be great.

That'd be a real turn on... Just as things get really going: "Uh, did you remember to lock the headboard?"

That's the one J-frame I want. That was a smoking deal. How long ago was that? Beautiful!

I have one of these on my AR. It is a nice scope. The magnification range is fantastic. I haven't tested it out to any distance yet though. I do wish it would have been Mil/Mil or moa/moa.

"the fluted barrels are lighter" Given all else constant (IE, metal alloy, length, profile); true. If you take a given barrel, and machine metal off, it will be lighter. However, weight reduction is probably a bad reason to flute. If you just want lighter weight, have the barrel turned down to a...

My first three handguns were all bought used off GunsAmerica.com (before gunbroker became big). I had no issues.

Love the CZ75 platform much?
