and been most disappointed by the offering of commercially available snap caps for the 500 nitro. The mfr says never to dry fire, and of course I never do anyway, but I wasn’t abut to even entertain pulling the trigger without the caps.

And I can’t find crap. Most of what I can find, IS crap, and everyone who has what I want is out of stock.

Winrot is a pain but it’s the price you have to pay to get a computer that will do the shit I need it to do.
