My Hexwasp came as part of the Hellcat RDP package. It's been replaced once after I dropped it and the glass cracked. Awesome, they replaced it. Last week it stopped working. I figured it was the battery. Took the battery out and a small metal part dropped onto the work surface. After...

No one here can't say they were never a newbie. My time was my first summer in Boy Scout camp using a single shot bolt action .22 rifle. That got me hooked...and an NRA marksman medal/award that summer Today, I was checking in at the range, and an exuberant older man comes to the range counter...

I dunno. I buy firearms for the firearms, not the promotionals. A promotional is an advertising gimmick to try to move inventory. 3 mags...those seem nice, but not a deal breaker for me. I've gotten those folios before (Springfield XDM Elite...I think?). I don't use them. They stay in the box...

Great discussion and good points. I was thinking about this problem from two points of view: First, the constitution. When someone owns real estate, they own it subject to: police power, eminent domain, taxation, and escheat. Police power mean the state has the power to regulate property use...

So their law forbids nonviolent misdemeanor offenders from purchasing a firearm?!?! So, lets say some 18 year old gets in trouble for drinking alcohol while underage (not DUI though). Or someone accidently bounces a check and is prosecuted. That person can't EVER buy a firearm in...

In the category of you can't make this stuff up: I got the same deal with eyeglass cleaner at Costco: 2 bottles of cleaner. Free refills in a dispenser in the eyeglass department. Refilled my bottles for years. Then all of the sudden, the dispensers vanish. Turns out someone tried to fill their...

I like that look. I've started browsing and will see what I might like.

Good interview.

When I was young, I had to hide my magazines from my mother. She told me I would go blind. And it had nothing to do shooting my eye out!

It's wearing on something in there, so probably check those areas as well to see if there are any obvious defects/damage.

Did you ever web search "spare parts for springfield hellcat"? Admittedly, a lot of what's out there are upgrades/mods, but if you look hard enough, I think you can find what you are looking for. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/springfield-armory-hellcat/parts.html

Why buy spare parts when Springfield gives you a warranty for the gun for as long as you own it?
