What have you bought firearms related in the last 48 hours?

Hi,

Well, I found a price I liked, with free shipping, and pulled the trigger on this.

Henry Big Boy, 20", 10 round, large loop, in .357 magnum. It will be a great match for my .22 Small Game Henry.

Now I must get a sling for it, plus a holster for my 686 Plus revolver. Should be a lot of fun at the range. ;)


Thank you for your indulgence,

Since Midwayusa.com had free shipping on orders of $100 or more, I decided to continue to increase my stockpile of personal defense ammo. I bought 4 boxes of 9mm, 124 gr, HST ammo. I like using Midwayusa.com because they are located in my state so the shipping is relatively fast.

Well that was faster than normal, the ammo was sitting on my porch the next day (Wednesday) at 4:00 PM.

Update
SRO 2.5moa arrived, I installed it withe the AOS plate and headed to the range. (Dawson plate had not arrived yet). Love the dot, Easy to shoot accurately. No issues.

Pic 1 is SRO/AOS plate , this plate retains rear sight but optic hangs over ejection port by a solid .25". Fired 250 rounds in this configuration WITHOUT a single "brass induced malfunction" due to hitting optic housing. I did however have a large amount of carbon to scrape off the bottom of the optic as well as constant need to wipe soot off of glass caused by LCI slot in top of barrel.

In the meantime the Dawson plate has arrived. As stated in original post, this plate deletes rear iron sight and moves optic behind the ejection port. Have not shot with this plate installed, that will happen tomorrow.

First observation was, this plate is made from aluminum. Nowhere in description was this stated. My concern is that the Prodigy plate to slide connection is less than ideal and will require the removal of optic Many times in the future to re mount plate to slide. Will the screw holes for optic eventually give way being aluminum? Plate cost $129.00.
Second observation was, plate fits nice and tight in slide cut and moves optic well behind ejection port and LCI slot, but has a reverse bevel causing a gap between plate and slide at the foward location. (see pic). I can live with the gap but at the price point expected better fit.

Am I being too picky? Thoughts or comments?

UPDATE...close to 4k on this setup, Plate to slide has been rock solid from day one (small dab of loctite blue on bottom threads of screws) when installed.
One of the screws (optic to plate) did loosen about 1/8 turn after around 2500 rounds. I am using Vibratite VC3 for optic to plate. I will call this a win for the Prodigy AOS system which is questionable at best.
As a comparison, SRO on both Staccato XC and XL were installed by me using same procedure and have not budged. Current round count on XC over 12k, XL is not far behind.
Thanks for reading. Peace.
