Wow, I'll tell you what, loading the Sig P365 mags is a chore. In fact, I'm not sure it's possible to get all the rounds loaded without a mag loading device. I ended up buying an Uplula Universal Mag loader based on some searches to see if anyone else found loading these mags to be as difficult as I was experiencing. Turns out that I'm not alone. Supposedly, they get easier after being loaded and allowed to sit, so the spring relaxes.

I'd rather struggle feeding a reliable mag than struggle clearing a FTF due to an unreliable mag that's easy to feed...

Watching a video of LEO's using dogs for work, and something caught my eye that I had to replay it and stop it to verify I was seeing what I was seeing.

Are they actually teaching this now? IF so, I'm getting too old LOL

I sent a can off to get repaired by the manufacturer. When I got it home, it went into the safe without much inspection. A friend wanted to know the thread size, so I got it and the gun it fits and measured it. Before I put it away, I glanced down the barrel and was surprised by what I saw. Anyone see one like this?
I took a borescope and went down the bore which shows several of the dividers with the same shape as the one pictured.

I can't tell from the photo, but is the center of the bore unobstructed? The baffles are usually "clipped" or "notched" and are not a round hole. When I first looked down my Dead Air Nomad, I thought a bullet had struck a baffle, but learned they actually have an oblong hole. I have some precision rods I bought from McMaster-Carr that fit snugly in various calibers to check suppressor alignment.

Edited to add this net search info:
Basic explanation but: clips force gas across the bore line disrupting the flow and pushing gasses into the baffle chambers instead of straight out the bore.

Well, it appears like an oblong hole, which is why I had to have it rebuilt. A bullet did tumble. or maybe several of them since the can is on a Ruger AC-556. They splattered and dents were in the outer housing, so I was surprised when they were able to repair it, and how well they did.
The borescope showed things I wasn't impressed with, such as the rough edges and hanging pieces that I thought a good machinist would have cleaned up, but since they did such a good job (and were actually able to save it), then I shouldn't complain too much!
Thanks for setting me straight about the oblong holes, as I didn't think it originally came that way.

That rough machining, swarf, will be blown off after 5 rounds.
