After I wrote that reply to you I did check around a bit online, and I agree, you’ll get conflicting opinions about it. I just wouldn’t bother with using it if I could help it. What you said in your reply to me makes it clearer as to why it might not be so easy to replace. That’s a different situation from mine. I guess in a worst case scenario, one would use whatever one had and hope it worked.
As to the rest of it, Katrina and more, yes, it was a mess and it was very revealing. People need to take stock and decide what they’ll do in troubled situations.
If you or anyone else is interested in a very good gun-focused forum, I would highly recommend the SIG forum: sigforum.com It is first and foremost a gun forum, but like here, there are lots of discussions about all sorts of things, and a great bunch of people as members. You can find information or help with anything you can imagine. I’m amals there, too. Along with the Oasis, they are my two favorite forums and I visit both just about every day.
