I would suggest a CZ shadow 2. The Springfield is a nicely made HiPower, but there isn’t as much support for parts or modes compared the the CZ.

I haven’t shot the SA35, but I’ve shot mk3 HiPowers. They are battle pistols, and aren’t very accurate compared to a target pistol.

Even if you could find a dealer that had capacity, it would be cost prohibitive.

E.g storage fees at $30 per gun per month would be $4,500.

How large is large?

Yeah I get that but people are stupid and don’t understand the implications of things.

Here’s an easy way to confirm - why don’t you email LRD instead of asking internet strangers?

It’s probably an admin/storage address check thing. Sometimes people end storing guns for mates and forget to update the permanent address, which is a no-no.

All good. The “don’t lie” part was more for the other guy. And also so you don’t get in trouble.

Yes. Obviously don’t lie because there’s a thing called the registry.

If you select no, it asks you to provide details of each individual firearm.

Why not just automate the lights to turn off when presence hasn’t been detected in x minutes?

I bought the GKS 18V-68 C last year at Bunnings in December for $185

He was gay, Bradley Cooper?

Which state?

I don’t understand your reasoning for buying a beater gun when the shadow 2 is already that.

These guns can take a lot of abuse and there’s just as much parts availability. Guns aren’t like cars, where theres a set “mileage” that comes with round count.

I’d take that $1000 budget and buy ammo to practice personally.

It is the usual. Counter clockwise = lefty loosy

I have this same pair from Amazon. The nut with two flats definitely unscrews counterclockwise.

If you’re asking the question, I think you know the answer…

Atomic Blondie. It had such momentum set in peak 80s Cold War Berlin, only for it to undermine the twist and fizzle out as a weak cliche. Laziest form of Hollywood writing.

Roo leather is cool and comfortable all day. I think everyone should try an Aussie brand with an Aussie leather.

Brass brushes will squash over time anyway. Use the .38 special one.

Shoot both if you can before you make a decision. That way you’ll understand peoples opinions.

For me, there’s one clear winner at that price range - CZ Shadow 2.

You’d think so, but my Tacsoras is really picky with target loads. Only found one brand that it likes.

I made a mistake. You are right - gas operated.

That being said, T2000 is way more reliable than a Sulun arms system.

I haven’t found any buckshot that doesn’t cycle well in a T2000 yet. It’s a recoil operated system, so you’ve got mass + speed to determine if it cycles.

Buckshot has heaps of mass (weight), so there’s no real need to look for “hot” loads.

If you want to stay on the safe side, look at what’s available in bulk and buy a single box of each offering to see if there’s any performance difference.

Cleavers will probably be your best value.

As mentioned, 250 shells is only 10 boxes and sold as a “slab”. Not exactly huge quantities.

T2000 has been super reliable, even with slower Winchester 7.5 28gm shot in my experience.

Choose the load based on what you’re shooting at (bunnies/foxes = BBs, #2 or #4. Clay targets #7-9).

If you can’t answer that question, do more research on shot size.

Are you asking if you can have one, or if a manufacturer makes one in those calibres?

Google is your friend for both answers.

Why not PRW2?
