u/tiger-93

Considering changing the hardlex to sapphire. I got a quote from a highly reviewed jeweler local to me in Kennesaw, Ga "starting at $65".

My question is: this seems like a fair price, should I be concerned about gasket changes or water resistance afterwards? It's a relatively newer watch

Hello, I've been looking at getting into competitive shooting. I'd like to try and just gain skills that I can maybe carry over to defensive carry and practical shooting. I'll likely start with my Tisas 1911 DS Duty with red dot and/or my Beretta 92xi irons only.

I plan on signing up on practiscore

I've got a few questions:

1. Where can I look to read/learn about different competitions/types/classes?

2. My local range does bowling pin challenges, is this something good to start with?

3. What do you wish you knew about competition shooting early on?

4. My biggest concern regarding cost: IF I really get into competitive shooting, what should I expect, or what do you, spend monthly on 9mm ammo if I train once per week (if that's even enough)? I currently go to the range 2-4 times per month. I'm sure this will depend on frequency of training and how much ammo you go through, etc.

5. Would you recommend AGAINST using one of my primary carry/defensive weapons (Beretta 92xi) for competition? I figured if I need to replace components from wear, it'd be easy and cheap enough. The tisas 1911 DS Duty is likely to become a range/competition gun and I can take the optic off if I didn't wanna shoot optics.

6. Open to any other/more info.

For those who've shot both, how's the recoil impulse and smoothness of each compared to each other? This would be for self defense conceal carry.

Thanks

I'm considering either Paper Mario TTYD or SMB Wonder.

I understand they're different genres, but I played the original Paper Mario TTYD many years ago when it released, and I loved it.

But having a 2d platformer as a pretty chill game as a break from silksong is really enticing, too.

Which one would you say has the best story and "charm" or "character"?

My co-worker is considering CCW, and is wanting to use a SW shield (1st Gen before the shield plus) her husband had but probably never shot. She says it was stored with the safety lock (locked back) that comes with firearms for years. I disassembled, wiped down (was pristine/dry), and lubed it.

We shot a combo of Fiocchi and Herters. The herters would have a primer strike but no bang every 8-10 rounds. No such issues with the fiocchi. It would also fail to go all the way forward into battery sometimes.

Is the failure to go forward into battery from the firearm being stored locked back for God knows how long?
