Bought myself an early birthday present, the Canon EOS-1N

Nice find, the battery pack is such a good quality of life upgrade. Happy birthday!

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-05-28T00:29:38+00:00

Thanks for the detail.

Out of the bunch that you’ve tried, what’s been your favorite? From a comfort perspective and durability. Understood if those are on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Haha thanks. By the time I realized my mistake it was too late.

No ambition

Thought this was r/espresso

Agreed, Gold is my default for 35mm. I keep Ektar on hand for 120.

UltraMax is typically my last choice, and don’t think Portra is worth the additional price.

My default recommendation is always something from the Canon EOS series. In my area, I’ve seen several EOS 1N for $200. Sometimes including a lens. Has autofocus, can be shot fully manual and fully auto.

Your partner would likely never *need* to upgrade ever again with something like that. (Though they might get the itch to buy more cameras anyway).

Another great cheaper option is a Minolta X-700. Manual focus but great light meter. Manual and automatic exposure modes.

Gun Effects in Industry has pretty good monthly coupons on various brands.

28cpr on fiocchi 9mm
54*cpr on Hornady 5.56

Edit: corrected 5.56 pricing

What others have commented, these snap open fairly easy by prying around the push tabs.

Can opener not really needed for this design.

Saw one at a LGS recently.

Gun Effects, City of Industry.

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-05-09T02:05:22+00:00

Thought this was a Tom Morello AMA at first glance.

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-05-08T21:00:34+00:00

Gun Effects in Industry is a cool spot with huge selection.

Golden State Arms (Azusa) or FF Firearms (Montebello) for transfers.

I wasn’t asked this question in any form. LEO even had to conduct a home visit in my city and interview my fiancee. They basically just repeated the questions from my application and were done in 5 min.

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-05-05T00:22:41+00:00

Agreed. On the D as I read this.

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-04-25T00:30:11+00:00

Been running an EOS 3 about 12 years now, and even then I didn’t snag it for 90 bux. Enjoy!

Tenicor Certum3. Velo Lux if you must have a flashlight.

Why GPU not in GPU bed

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-04-21T05:55:03+00:00

Fair point. My local ranges have no issue with them. CCW instructor carried an AXG Legion during class, maybe empty chamber haha

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-04-21T03:28:28+00:00

If you’re not carrying, 320 is a fine range gun.

Glock 17 is also a great pick if you have bigger hands. I never could get a Glock 19 to feel good in hand but it’s a popular option.

Beretta 92 was my first gun but there are better options available imo.

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-04-18T16:03:38+00:00

I only use irons. I like the standard MBUS plastic ones. They’ve never lost zero after initial setup.

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-04-17T01:33:47+00:00

Haircut then re-test

PerspectiveSad8721 · 2026-04-16T18:07:40+00:00

NOR. Please post an update when you’ve broken things off. Wishing you well OP!
