My unfired baby

[Conny]

Thanks for the kind words Ed. You got the money, you could own it..hahahaha

Rick, nice pistols. I think the North Hollywodd pistols are better quality with tighter tolerances. That's why they are the most accurate of the different manufactures. I keep the gun away from the foam by wrapping it in an oil cloth and placing bubble wrap between the foam and gun. My El Monte is pitted because the previous owner let it sit on the foam for years. The El Monte is my shooter. The Automag in the picture has never been fired but I do shoot my El Monte .44 with 6" barrel. The mexican ammo is very dirty. I shot with the mexican stuff and will never again. The new .44 ammo is by Corbon and it is very hot. I called them and they said the ammo is powered correct. I think if they look at their Automag bolt stop they would find it starting to mushroom. I only shoot reloads now and powder them down a bit. When I fired my pistol for the first time, it startled the hell out of me and shot a 3 foot flame. My wife thought the pistol blew up in my face. It really scared her bad.

The .357 has excellent muzzle velocity and would be great as a carbine for long distance varmint hunting.

Thanks again Ed, Rick.
