A friend came to me at church this morning. “Umm… can we talk? Remember when I asked you about a gun a while ago? For home protection? I said I’d get back to you… Well, this business in Israel has got me thinking.”
I told him that, if he’s legal (he IS), I can’t stop him, but I won’t help unless he gets training, and will promise to practice. Just “having” isn’t good. Now, he’s an Iowa farm boy and grew up toting a 12 ga. around in corn fields, so he’s not a complete greenhorn. He wants to try different handguns- CCW size and full size- shotgun, possibly rifle and large format pistol. For my taste, CCW is easy- G43 or G19 category. Mossberg mod. 500 would be hard to beat for home protection.
There are as many answers as there people asked— plus two. If you were advising someone, what would be your advice?
For my walnut shell media. I tumbled a couple hundred 300bo after sizing them to get the lube off. Maybe 10 didn't have the flash holes jammed with media. Poke poke poke, grrr. I'm used to clearing a few cases, but never this big a percentage.
