TOTALLY COOL GUNS!

Rick,

I own one of the TDE .44amp guns that I bought new back in 1974 along with the forming and loading dies. Haven't shot it in years...

The foam lining of the plastic case rotted away a couple of years ago, and the handle on the case broke off the first year I owned it.

My best shot... 3 shots out of three on a piece of typing paper at a measured 100 yards over a sandbag rest... 240 grain jacketed hollow point over 22.5 grains of 2400...

The same power and maybe a little more but MUCH softer than shooting my S&W Model 29 (fire a box of factory loads in that and you feel like you have been shaking hands with King Kong!)

I will post a pic after I get my digital camera repaired... (One of my wife's students DROPPED it!)

One of my favorite guns.
