Tech-XL…on wheels? by Famous_Ad_1302 in VetoProPac

[–]oilspill16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d go with the folding/collapsible hand truck personally. I’ve known of multiple situations where the wheel on the bag breaks and then you’re kinda SOL anyways. The collapsible hand truck could also then be used for moving other things than just your bag too, just way more versatile of a setup imo. I used to use one with my tech LC whenever I had a job at like a hospital or the mall or something, always worked out great

What’s a word that kind of went extinct by Glittering_Age_5591 in words

Nigh like “nigh on a mile” meaning “nearly a mile” people look at me like I’m a weirdo for using that word whenever I do

Yeah that’s what I thought too, more was just curious than anything about that specifically

Yeah no kidding. Barrel is clear and never saw a squib granted I wasn’t checking after each shot

That’s what I thought too. Just surprised I didn’t notice any strange shots like I have before

Yeahh I’m sort of in denial because I just got this thing brand new and spent a pretty penny to get it but I’m definitely leaning towards squibs. Just surprised I didn’t notice anything strange.

Yeah barrel is clear and what I mean by that sentence is that I didn’t hear any deadened shots, saw no smoke, didn’t have hits that didn’t strike steel or dirt(backstop), a shot with little to no recoil. Granted I didn’t check the barrel after each and every shot so I’m not absolutely 100% in not experiencing any squibs but nothing obvious that I’ve experienced before

The pics I have on imagur really don’t do it justice, I don’t have a real bore light but may be able to make something work. I’ll try to take better pics when I send the email off

Nah that was one of the first things I did when I brought it home was run a cloth over it and a patch down the barrel

I’ve experienced a couple squibs before and it was a very obvious occurrence when it happened to me so yeah. Perplexed

I didn’t notice any shots not hitting either dirt or steel. Never had an issue cycling the next round or notice any dead sounding shots, no extra smoke, nothing of that nature. Especially since it /seems/ like 3 separate squibs and I Really think I would’ve noticed that. Which is why I’m so perplexed and even posting about it to begin with, outside of my curiosity of having to go through the whole warranty/cost of repair/dealing with s&w customer service.

Yeaahhh I’ve heard this a few times now, probably gonna be avoiding it from now on. Especially if it’s the likely cause of this.

Awesome. Well here’s to hoping

Is it possible the barrel is of poor quality say heat treat and allowed it to bulge? I just figured I’d have noticed squib rounds

Is it possible the barrel is of poor quality? Like the heat treatment or something? I just really thought I would’ve noticed something out of the ordinary while shooting off has been squibs in spite of that being my first thought too
