Be careful about replacing springs on HS pistols.  On the older models if you "disassemble" it the wrong way you'll end up with a locked up paperweight that is extremely difficult to fix.  I think all of the hammer models (HB, HD, HD Military, etc.) are prone to this problem.  Good news is there's lots of info on how to do it the right way, mostly on rimfirecentral.com

Good luck.

If that happens, I’ll just give the gun to Inspector... 😳😝

I make sure to rotate my ammo.  All are less than 7 years old.  I did use a box of 100 Federal 22LR that was bought back in the 70s and only had 4 that did not go bang.

There’s some ammo in my dad’s stash that might be from when he was a kid. Shot some .38 and .357 where the boxes looked really old. All went bang. Just wished he has busted some of that out when I was taking him shooting. But back then he wanted to shoot more rifles. My rifles. Haha

I have some FA '59 match ammo for my Garand that shoots very, very well.  Properly stored, it can last many years.

About a year ago I found some 42-44 dated M2 ball on clips.  A couple of guys bought that ammo to shoot, one guy told me it all shot fine.  This stuff was in a ratty old cooler in some guy's garage for decades.

While I believe many of my close friends are in decent shape through this, I do have some that I know are hurting.  I try to check on them here and there.  I know many of them will hesitate to reach out for help and I try to remind them to reach out before it gets to the "too late" point.  One thing that I did agree with Ige is that we need to come together as a community to get through this.  2A community included.  I've already helped out some folks with ammo and other stuff as they got caught behind the curve. 

I sold all my .22 in order to move to the mainland. Then right before I move there is a huge run on .22 ammo. So I did what any red blooded American would do, I bought a shitload on line and had it shipped to a relatives house in AZ. I’ll pick it later this month when I am driving back from LA with my truck that I will pick up from Pasha. Land of the free.

Right after we crossed the state line from CA to AZ there was a sign that said welcome to freedom.

JR Hara had this in stock, don't remember if it was still there the last time I went and not been there for awhile.
