Hello tac

You must be a wealthy man? 118 Hand-Ins - that must have cost the Tax Payer?
I made a "profit" when I handed in my Model 29 and Woodsman - my only two "modern" guns at that time.

I keep/store my Heritage Pistols (Luger P '08 , Lahti M35, Walther PP RFV. Webley 25acp and S & W Model 52 among others) at the UK NRA Bisley Amory. The HBSA/NRA have kindly set up a reloading facility with Lee Turret presses at the Melville Range, where, using a Lee Turret with pre-set dies/die holder (that's what all the discussion was about as 9mm is far more critical than 38Spl HBWC) and with pre-primed cases it's suprising how quick you can assemble good quality target rounds. I used to buy various 9mm factory at Bisley but thought my 1917 Luger would appreciate some softer reloads - plus I now have a bucket load of 9mm Boxer brass.
I still buy 25acp and 32acp - it's just too small and fidderly to reload.

n.b. The Lahti is especially mentioned in Home Office docs of being of "Technical Interest" - you must have seen The List?

But join the HBSA and (UK)NRA and you too could be shooting a Luger, Lahti or even a S & W Model 52 again.
BTW - What's your primary club called?
