    So Which Is It? Amps Or Volts?

    High amp stuff scares me. Both of these setups were in the +200A range, lower unit is sketchy chinese shit. Think the top was 575V, lower 460V. eta: lower was 480v service stepped down to 220 now that I think about it. Enclosure just had a magnetic panel for a cover.

    Best 9mm Carry Round

    Back to the drawing board?

    Only sad part is I got like 500 cartridges loaded, and I’m just not motivated at all to pull all those rounds.

    Back to the drawing board?

    For those of you that run suppressed gas guns, have you had a tuned load for your rifle perform horribly once you mounted a can? I did load workup in 2020 for my .308 shooting a 155 scenar at 2726fps out of a 16” bbl, and it held pretty much 1 moa at 100. I had it doped out to 700, due to scope...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 22 Pistol?

    Odd man out, get a Ruger single-six. Pop that .22wmr cylinder in once in awhile. Nothing wrong with the ruger or browning offerings everyone has recommended already.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Springfield Hi-Power clone?

    Springfield’s webpage layout seems to hint at different variants being offered at some point or their web designer is just lazy. Handgun supply at my local shops is still very low and I’d be surprised to get one at or under msrp, so the jury is still out for me on this particular model. Waiting...
