I’ll still get the AR-15 in the future. I’m just being gentle with my wife’s feelings. We’ve been happily married for 30 years so we give and take. She will get something she wants in return for me getting the AR-15.
As for the Wolf ammo, I haven’t actually tried it because I have also heard it is dirty. The last ammo I used in my S&W model 1911 .45 was Winchester White Box and I didn’t like it much - I only shot 50 rounds and it seemed dirty and smoky. I will probably sell or trade the rest of it.
It aint that smokey.
Its just that case tolerance thats an issue.
Put a brass bore brush on a drill and swab out that chamber and even that wont be an issue
dirty on a recoil operated semi auto(ie .45acp) really means nothing. you clean it when your done shooting.
in a gas operated semi auto, though you could crud up your gas cylinder/piston and that is an issue....
Amazingly (or not so) my Wife keeps looking at the AR style weapons at our local Academy. Dropping $1000 or more on a single gun would be hard for me to justify at this time.
Maybe a *zombie killing* Defender or two would be a better bet.
