1x Prism Optics
Looking for other's experiences and opinions here. First off, I like prism optics because I have an astigmatism. It's not terrible but I find the smear from a red dot pretty annoying. As such, I already have a Leupold Prismatic, which I love. It's true 1x, great eye relief, and excellent with both eyes open. Since they aren't easy to find anymore, for other hardware in the collection I have tried a Vortex Spitfire, which seems less than 1x and therefore not as great with both eyes open, and also a Swampfox Blade, which is almost/kinda 1x if you are close enough to the eyepiece and not far from the target, though at distance shooting with both eyes open didn't seem practical. I like the reticle which gives simple 5 and 10 yard holds but the fact that it's not as easy to use as the Leupold bugs me. Any other suggestions for a honest-and-for-true 1x prism that works with both eyes open? Or maybe it's me? Thanks!

Dopesick
Anyone who has the Hulus, have you watched Dopesick about the Oxy-created opiate crisis? I thought it was pretty interesting. If even half of what was show is true... wow. What an avoidable mess. So many victims. https://press.hulu.com/shows/dopesick/

HOLSTER alien gear?
Yes, you are correct! I use the IWB vent core mini. Very well made. https://stealthgearusa.com/ventcore-mini-holsters/

I like the Stealth Gear minituck for IWB and Safariland GLS for OWB. I had an Alien Gear but it's not as good as the Stealth Gear.

magpul 10/30 mags
Thanks! Interesting idea. Will give it a try. My guess is that manufacturers are playing it extra-safe so some joker doesn't get busted with 11 rounds in a mag...

I just bought a couple of these. Disappointed that you can't load them fully and insert on a closed bolt.

NJ AG Slams Growing 2A Sanctuary Movement In The State
Perhaps I should have been more specific in my previous post to this thread. I was simply asking for a news source of the image that you posted of the judiciary committee amendment regarding ICE notification of illegals trying to purchase firearms as it might prove useful in the future. I am well aware of what it is going on in our state.

Dang, I gotta try this. What else did you put in the crock pot (e.g., seasoning, broth, etc.), if anything?

Holosun L321 opinions
I'd like a carbine visible laser to start. Already have a light. One day down the road perhaps might get some NV, in which case the IR laser and illuminator would also be nice to have. Not an operator by any stretch, more thinking about gaps in the gear, nice-to-haves, and cool factor (flame suit on).

Holosun L321 opinions
For those that don't wanna spend DBAL dollars, does anyone have experience with the Holosun L321? From what I've read, it's a bit too tall for top-rail mounting and the IR illuminator only goes out to about 100 yards. Also sounds like there have been "out of the box" reliability issues but if it works at first, it generally doesn't have problems over time. https://holosun.com/index/product/detail/id/165.html

.22lr bolt conversion
I have the CMMG conversion kit and for the most part it has worked really well as long as it's properly lubed. I think I ran a few hundo down it the first day I used it without a single failure (I don't remember what brand of ammo). The follower on the mags tends to get dirty and sticky but cleans up ok and hasn't really been a problem. I agree with all the comments about accuracy. If you have 22 laying around and don't wanna send dollar bills downrange it's a great way to go.

Drywall advice?
Old school. I like it!!! When I was growing up my father was on a "navy shower" kick for a while. Something tells me if I did either of these I'd never be spoken to again.
