About 9mm casings, to go into a gun range and fire a pistol (assuming you don't own one, and very few of us do), you need to rent the weapon, buy the rounds (almost as hard to get a license for the ammo as the gun), then you need to hire a range marshal (assuming you don't have the qualifications to fire the weapon already, and I don't, you have to have an instructor there), and if you are going to all that trouble, you might as well bang off a lot of rounds.
The one time I've ever fired a hand gun, my brother and I went, so we used a lot of ammo, and we had a good time. Turns out I'm a very good shot with a pistol, something that surprised the heck out of me.
As for getting a 3/8 expansion plug, I am not on Baffin Island, but good on you for knowing it is part of Canada. I've tried NAPA, two machine shops, a transmission parts supplier, and another chain or auto parts. No one carries a plug that isn't in a kit. I happened to have an order in at Summit so thought I'd get them from Summit, but even Summit didn't have them in stock hence the long delay.
As it is, I've followed Jay's suggestion.
