I just purchased a Springfield XD-S 45 at Academy Sports. They price matched SMGW at $399 and beat it by 5%. They had the gun priced at $499 to start with. I got the gun and some ball ammo for $432 out the door.

Springfield is doing a "Gear Up" promotion till August 13. You get an additional 4 magazines, a magazine holder, and a owb paddle holster.

It's non magnified, but that can be rectified by picking up a 3X unit at a later point.

The RDS should be okay for your needs though.

Grand recommended that same red dot to me and I've enjoyed it. I have it affixed to my 300BO SBR. It's fun to shoot. I enjoy releasing some balloons and letting them drift along the ground and picking them off.

If you go with a 223 for deer make sure to use bullets intended for the purpose. I personally like the Barnes TSX line of bullets along with the Nosler Partition but there are a number of medium game loads that have come out in recent years in that caliber.

Update: Aimpoint PRO inbound, should arrive tomorrow. Streamlight TLR-1 next. Also Magpul flip-up MBUS. Then it's back to the range to get dialed in again. Looking at the stock. Broke for now.

Out of commission anyway after having been ejected from a boat during pursuit training. Separated shoulder and enough bruises to cover an elephants butt. FYI, typing left-handed is an exercise in frustration. Hopefully no surgery; at my age some scars never heal.

I'll let you know what I think when I finally get to test new gadgets.

Well taking my AR back to the gun shop I got it from. Jams after every 10-15 rounds during rapid fire. Every 3-4 rounds during non rapid fire. Tried different ammo and magazines. No change. ☹️

Hate to even ask but is it well lubed? ARs like to run wet.

Bought a Winchester SX3 (semi-auto shotgun) from Palmetto State Armory in a scratch and dent sale. Gun is absolutely flawless and was 600 bucks off retail. I'm pretty pleased with it!

Took it back to the gun shop. It broke it completely down. Everything looked perfect. He cleaned it and oiled it really well. We shot 100 rounds with no jams. Think I'm in the clear.

I put synthetic motor oil in a small spray bottle, and keep it in the bag, I take shooting with me..so I can keep them lubed up and shooting well

Enjoy it

Just picked up a Henry Mare's leg in .22. This thing shoots surprisingly well. It's not very practical but I got it on a trade for a tool box.
