Dear WLS

  • Thomas L – What training class/instructor would you like to take in 2026?

  • Kaleb K – What are the cast members’ opinions of revolvers chambered in traditionally semi-auto calibers? IE 9mm/45 ACP/10mm Is there a practical or tactical use case, or should they only be considered as a novelty?

  • Dustin S – Looking to buy my first carry pistol. Want a full-size, any recommendations? Thinking about a Canik TP9, do they last, and are they reliable?

  • Mike L – Looking to purchase a matching lever action and wheel gun in .357 to commemorate a family member. They won’t be safe queens, the lever will probably see regular use during deer season as most zones near me are shotgun or straight wall cartridge only. Should it be- Henry Big Boy/Roscoe Marlin 1894/Ruger SP101 S&W 1854/ Model 19 or 640 pro As you might imagine, trying before I buy isn’t much of an option. I’m leaning S&W because that’s my go-to. My second choice would likely be the Ruger built option, because I’m from NH. Jeremy, STFU about the 454 Casul Aaron, you just generally STFU. Thanks, Mike

  • whoever readsthisisgay – I was thinking of picking up a p365 but was hearing about issues of the trigger reset spring failing and causing the gun to go dead. Have you guys ever experienced this, or have a solution if it is a problem? I like the gun for its concealability but if the trigger doesn’t reset, it’s about as useful as a uvula in an anus.

  • Duke of Crude – Is shrt qstn ur fav? Duke

  • Brandon Y – Ordered the new Matador Arms Mat-9 roller delayed 9mm PCC in mid-July using the WLS coupon, but haven’t heard anything from Matador Arms beyond “order received and processing”. Reviewing redit and other forums, looks like long shipping delays from Matador Arms. Any insight on this matter? When ordered, the item was instock and there was no indication of long wait times or delayed shipping.P.S. I’m behind on episodes thanks to the Monster Hunter books, I’m on book 7 now.

  • Ryan K – Got any opinions on the S&W FPC? Jeremy SFMF

  • AndyMan NoCan – Hello Sir’s and Madam(Aaron) Thank you for the weekly entertainment. Awesome show. Just looking for a economical recommendation on a decent (budget) linear compensator for a AR-15 in 556. Its the last piece to this budget build PSA. I know I know …save my money and by a better AR. I’m a completionist though so once this os done i will buy another. Pretty sure you all have me talked into a Mitchell Defense next. Anyway ..WLS is lifeHave a good one!Thank You, Andy
