Apple TV (the app) as opposed to Apple TV (the hardware) has been around for years.

My grandfather who farmed and logged in Minnesota swore by choppers mitts for really cold weather. The leather outers might not be the greatest for wet conditions.
I disagree. This was from a number of years ago at Front Sight.

I bought 2 750s last year and use the dies I already had. Lee, RCBS, Lyman and Hornady all work ok for me. I had to put the rings under the shell plate with a few of them.

Some things I might try:
Cutting a slot in the stub if you get to it.
Solder a stub to it (or just try to heat/cool cycle it with a soldering gun)

Eventually you find you’re squirreled away enough brass of a particular caliber that it just makes sense to go buy a new gun in that caliber.

I got the Frankford Platinum this summer and have cleaned a couple thousand 9mm and the same 5.56. Very happy with it. I don’t use the steel pins. Dawn and Lemishine work good enough for me.
I guess I kinda like ‘em. Got 5 of their 1911 in different sizes, models, and calibers.
Forum: Our Town
I have .22TCM and 9mm barrels for a 1911, which uses a .38 super mag. Doesn’t help you for Glock but just another datapoint.
