As they say, " a fool & his money are soon parted ".

I have a Walther PPS M2 w/ RSMc red dot. It works for me . I carry it everyday. Also, I have Mepro night sights as well. The RSMC will co-witness with the irons. So you can see both, day or night. Not a problem. From what I've read & heard, the Holosun would be a better choice than the RSMc. If my fails, I'm going with the 407K, which has the same footprint as the RSMC. Red dots are here to stay, like it or not. I heard a similar argument years ago when radial tires first came out. We know how that turned out.

Well, the gun show has not been canceled. Don't know what was up with the sign deal. I went this AM, Decent crowd, the usual fare of guns, knives, flea mkt stuff. Didn't see alot of folks walking around buy/sell/trading. I got there at 9, left about 10. Bought nothing. Masks are requires, Wilson Co. mandate. Didn't see anyone without one. Didn't have any issues.

Just checked R K Shows site, the Lebanon show is still on, but "masks required". FWIW

Lowes has a 20 ft, with flag for around $130. metal is thin, & won't hold up in strong wind with the flag attached. Speaking from experience.

Lee has a 4 die set with the carbide die included......if you an find them. Been using mine for years. They are not expensive & as good as anybody's, IMHO. Be sure to follow the setup directions for carbide, when screwing against the ram. It can crack if you set it too tight.

Speaking for myself, only, the 407K is the only one I know of that fits the footprint on my Wather PPS M2. It now has the Shield RSMc, which I recently got back from warranty ( took months ). As long as the Shield is working ok, I'll stick with it. If it goes belly up again, I will go with the 407 K. So, that's my reason, others, don't know. Hope that helped.

Just checked Kenzies' website. The 407K has been moved to August, back orders due Sept. Hope no one has been holding their breath, tho purple does look good on some people, LOL.

I finally got my RSMc back from Shieldsights. They sent a new one, which is working fine now, so far. If it fails again, I'm going to look at the 407k for a replacement, as it fits the footprint, with mods having to be made to the 4 mounting posts. Not a major thing. Thing is, Holosun keeps moving the release date up. Time will tell.

Hi power, Walther's C S has usually been good. I have no explanation for the above issue. I would love to get my paws on one of these I'll fitting plates & see why it wouldn't & why it couldn't be corrected. Guess we'll never know. I don't know if this was made in house, or outsourced. Oh, well......

Dennis, this may not be your situation, but, originally the PPS M2 RSMc, came with a plate, to replace the unit, if you chose to remove it for whatever reason. They stopped supplying it, including mine. I asked Walther about it, response was, because it never fit correctly . To me, this makes no sense. I worked in tool & die 15 yrs, and it would be easy to correct. That "may " be what happened with yours.

Wasn't aware of that, but makes sense now that I gave it some thought. They don't work well with iron sights either. I may go back to the old next time around . Thanks for the heads up.

There is one scheduled for Aug. In Lebanon,Tn , but under current circumstances, guess that's speculation as well. I agree, that will be one heck of a line. Last one at the 'boro was also. And, yeah, I'd probably go. LOL

When I was loading 223, I used CFE 223. Worked for me. Meters well too.

RK show @ the 'boro for June 20 has also been cancelled. No surprise.

Uhhh, no. LOL

When I saw the topic title " Teaching My Wife to back a trailer ", by Greg, I said,now this has got to be good, LOL. As others have advised, let someone else do it, and live a longer life. JMHO

Re: the attitude, etc. of clerks at Reloaders Bench. I had not seen much of that until lately, which I can't explain. Partly depends on the person you're dealing with. Seems like, since the Corona thing, they rather you didn't show up. Since I don't go to socialize, it doesn't really matter to me. I usually take care of myself. I go in get what I want, if it's there, pay & go. Mainly, on primers, powder, no Hazmat fee . Other than that. online.

Most, these days, I buy wherever I can find it. Some days, no problem, others, nothing. Mostly luck.

I've got 4 big trees on the ground now, already had one down. I'll be til frost getting this mess cleaned up. Of, course, I have to go shoot my Henry 45/70 now & then too, LOL

Finally got mine today. Doug, yours should show up soon.

No, Vets & SS all comes from the IRS. The content of my post came from the IRS & VA. If you receive compensation from the VA & are required to file with the IRS ( VA is not taxable but you still have to enter it on the from ), then the IRS has your #. That's it in a nutshell. Too long to put it all here. Google will take you there.

That article has a flaw. Vets will receive a stimulus check, same as SS. As usual, the VA is slow in getting their act together. I received an email from VA, explaining the situation. We were originally told ( everybody ), that low income would be first. Obviously, that is no where near the case. Apparently, this an overloaded, system, so who knows how long it will take. Take a looong nap & wait.

I've been looking at the 407K, for my PPSM2 w/ RSMc. Thing is, as another poster mentioned, there will have to be some mods involved, as in removing 2 of the posts & shortening the other 2 to accommodate to 407K. After this is done, the RSMc can still be used. ( all this according to the Shot Show spokes person. Price, will be approx. $219. I have an issue right now with Shield's warrant service, or rather the lack of it. The LED went out, sent Shield a claim. They had me send it to Valley Stream, NY. Haven't heard a peep from either. Messages, not answered. Not sure if maybe COVID-19 has them shut down, or what. Needless to say, I'm no where near happy with Shield, and have no intention of buying anything else from them. No way to do business. So, this has me looking for a replacement. The 407K "looks" good, but it's new, so, have to wait & see how the reviews go. Also, they're not supposed to hit the shelves 'til May.

Same here. Take the flu shot every year, haven't had the flu since. Yes, if there was a proven vaccine, I'd definitely take it. On a side note, not directly related, but I went to the VA in the 'boro this AM. Nobody at my clinic but me. weird.
