Well, the one great drawback on a metal frame is that you can't make it an extremely valuable and rare, custom one-of-a-kind stipple job with a soldering iron. :0)
That crossed cannon stamp on the right side of the buttstock looks like an add-on from somebody with a stamp. There doesn't appear to be an original cartouche acceptance stamp on the left side above the trigger assembly - odd, and no picture of acceptance P stamp on butt handle, and no...
I've been seeing sales advertised at LGSs and online.....even got some CCI subsonics and other suppressor rounds that I hadn't been able to get in the past. My local WM is pretty well stocked up, too.
It depends on what your domicile's free-fire distance looks like. In a trailer? Glock. On a farm with 100 yards cleared around the farm house? AR. But you're gonna have to be able to drag whoever you tag back to the front porch. :0)
Your mileage differed I guess. Mine did what I said. Springfield sometimes is just 'different'. Case in point for the 1911s..... on the front staked sights their tenon width is different than everybody else. It was true for a couple Springfield 1911s I owned.

They were tools that killed in combat. They shot bullets; they still do...
I've got a stock Mossberg Shockwave in 410. The only thing I'd like to modify on it is change over to all wood furniture - same configuration. The Shockwave fits into a kind of limited ATF category and any changes to the grip seems to me to pull it out of that category and potentially subjects...
I just finished two rounds of cataract removal. The right eye, in which I was legally blind was so clouded and blurred it was useless. All it required was an inter ocular lens after he sucked out the cloudy stuff (it was the worst of the whole day of procedures the doctor did).
The left eye...
