Dear WLS

• Kilo Meter – If I see a gun in Dealbro should I take that as an endorsement that it is good? Also, should I assume all those sites are good to go?

• Juan Ench-Johnson – “If yall were to go back in time and purchase your first gun again, what would you do differently. Personally my first purchase was a Kimber and I was back and forth between that and an HK P30L. I had issues with the Kimber and would probably still have the HK today if I had made that choice initially. Is there anything yall would change?”

• Mark B – I’m looking to purchase a Browning Hi Power clone in 9mm. A real Hi Power would be nice, but they are expensive for nice ones or are rough surplus models. Leaning toward the Springfield SA-35, but I know there are cheaper Turkish made clones. Do you have any experience with or a recommendation for a Hi Power clone?

• Alex W – Hey, y’all. I’ve seen videos of people shooting through their front door from the inside when someone is trying to break it down to force entry into the house. What are your thoughts on this? And I’m not talking about someone standing there knocking aggressively. I mean, if they’re actually trying to break the door open. Would you go ahead and shoot? Or would you hold fire until they actually forced the door open?

• Jason S – I got a Riley defense rak308. My 1st time shooting it i was using winchester white box m80 7.62×51 and i was getting popped primers and and buldged primers. Riley defense said it was from using 7.62×51 and not 308. i didn’t have any other ammo and haven’t had a chance to shoot 308 ammo yet. I put a hyperfire trigger hammer and hammer spring in it. I’m just wondering if it’s the ammo or something with the rifle?

• Joe J – What is a good flashlight that won’t come on in my pocket? I anm getting tire on the end cap button getting pushed and running my battery dead. If y’all ever come to SD, hmu.

• Readem Anweep – I recently purchased Sixguns by Elmer Keith after discussing shooting text in the Cult Discord chat. This reprint of the 1955 “Standard Reference Work” came to me in hard back, smelling of my old college textbooks and filled with pictures to help those who cannot yet read. This book has been fantastic to read through and made me wonder what physical media the cast recommends to have in your Library of End Times? I will keep this to firearm related as we all know a shelf full of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Tom Stranger will keep many cold nights warm. But what would the cast of WLS suggest to create a firearm library before all the yootoob influencers tell us the SIG p320 is the best gun of all time. #WLSISLIFE
