    I’m a dummy so I went ahead and purchased a packaged deal for a Razor 1-6 BDC reticle and ADM recon mount.

    Only thing that was dumb was buying a scope with a BDC reticle, IMO!

    I found some 357 ammo in stock online for about $25 a box, so I ordered 4 boxes (200 rds). I inherited my dads S&W 357 along with a S&W 38 back in October when he passed. He had one box of 357 ammo, and five boxes of 38 ammo, so I just figured I'd even it out so I could have some fun with them.

    A new one runs $1999. I purchased the used one, throw-lever and a mount for $1155 so I figured it was a good compromise.

    Yes, they work great if you are shooting the same velocity and type / weight of bullet's that they were engineered for.
    Change any of those variable's, and that will change the POI.
    With some exceptions (like say 77gr being close to M80), 5.56 55gr and 62gr is kinda close.

    BDC's are meant for fighting. Not ultra long range precision

    On the TA-31, that reticle was designed to put a 62gr M855 projectile on a 5’10” tall, 18” wide target out to 800yds in either a 14.5” barrel or 20” barrel, depending on NSN suffix.

    There was a reason the guys shooting SMK were issued a different optic.

    Where did you find the .357 ammo so cheap?

    Worth it??
    I received my P938 back from the Sig Armorer with his 'carry action job'. Haven't had a range session with it yet but dry firing... OH WOW! The factory trigger was around 7 lbs and a with some very noticeable squish on the pull. It's now 4.5 pounds and has a near perfect (feels perfect) crisp break. Initial thoughts, very worth it.

    Finally located some extra mags for my CZ PCR. The Mec-Gar 15 rd have been unobtainum for months now with only the 10 rounders available, but just stumbled on some at Midway USA, albeit with a limit of 2. They should be here next week
    Yeah sometimes cz 75 mags are hard to come by. I've been seeing less metal framed czs in stores and see some are getting discontinued so I have been buying lot of mags over the past year.
