IMHO, the whole “invest in brass and lead” thingy is silly. Just plain silly.
I’m not sure what part of the world you live in, but where I live, there are probably 3.5 million people within 40 miles of me.
So even if you live near a town, let’s say a “small” town of 100,000 people, what you gonna do when your measly 500 rounds run out?
OK, so you have 1,000 rounds - same question.
Now I’ll got out on a limb and speculate that you have 10,000 rounds - what you gonna do when you break a firing pin?
In the interest of full disclosure, I have a couple guns and a few hundred rounds, but really, let’s be honest here.
Well...after expending 500 rounds and breaking a firing pin, assuming I'm still alive, there should be plenty of replacement weapons and ammo available for "pickup".
“Now I’ll got out on a limb and speculate that you have 10,000 rounds - what you gonna do when you break a firing pin?”
You remind me of the Argentina dude who lived through their economic meltdown. He tells people to leave the camo’s, rocket launchers, grenades, machine guns, etc. at home (after the meltdown). If you run out looking like Rambo (to get a quart of milk), you’ll be arrested and then institutionalized.
I agree with you.
We live in a silly world, FRiend. Crazy things happen, and it behooves us to prepare for those crazy things.
"I’m not sure what part of the world you live in, but where I live, there are probably 3.5 million people within 40 miles of me."
That is sad for you, but your poor decision on where to reside is not my problem.
"what you gonna do when you break a firing pin?"
My master plan includes having an extra firing pin on hand. problem solved.
