Is that 32 guns you own, Ditzy.
That sure must be some shortcoming you're over compensating for.
How do y'all do it on a counterman's salary?
Don, you are so far out in left field that I doubt you could see the catcher even if
it were Harry.

And, have you considered the possibility that the #32 refers only to revolvers?
Perhaps

From where did you get the 'counterman' nonsense?

You should really consider thinking before you post.


Harry's narcissism is rubbing off on him. There are gun collectors out
there with hundreds of guns. I choose mine carefully with no intention
of ever selling them. The last gun I sold was a Beretta .25 a few years
ago and I regret that. I don't know where the "counterman" thing comes
from but I also don't know where he dreams up half of the crap he posts.

Don feels he must say something negative so Harry will 'like' him. He then concocts
off-the-wall bull**** with no thought whatsoever. I guess it must give him the same
kick as mispelling 'America'.

Define "quick". I am sure a guy who shoots one regularly could get
back down in far less than a second.
A guy who shoots one regularly probably wouldn't need to worry about 'quick followup
shots'.

[NB: Harry does not fall into that category.]
If you are going to buy commercial ammo, you won't be able to afford
to shoot this a lot. It looks like the ammo is $2 a round. OTOH the
bullets are about a quarter each in quantity of 500 (at Natchez) so
the reloaders really make out. Powder and primers add another nickel
or so.


I thought about that. I probably won't shoot it often but I will save
the brass. I've never reloaded but it's something I might try when I
retire and have more time. I paid a hair under $1.80/round for 100
rounds with shipping. Until now I didn't know reloading was that
economical. There are some very good reloaders at the local gun show.
Maybe I can trade them for ammo?

Reloading is all about time. Depending on the loader some can go
pretty fast. A turret press is basically a little ammo factory but
they are expensive. I have a single station press and when I was
loading, I could get about one a minute average, end to end, from
fired brass to loaded round. That is loading 50.
The more you load at once, the better you average because setup is
most of the time on a short run.
I used to just make primed brass until I had a shoe box full and then
it was pretty quick to select a load and bang out a bunch.
I was really just loading .38 and I had a whole lot of brass, still
have quite a bit. (1000?)

Thanks for the mention of Natchez earlier. Got 600rds of their .22LR.

I have shot a Barrett 50 at 100 yards. It's an interesting gun and
