          Nice! I would have bought two at that price.

            That whole "safe handgun roster" is nothing more than "backdoor gun control" (via extortion). It's hard to even find an early DE, let alone for anything resembling a good price.

            The .357 DE's are rumored to be more "ammo-sensitive", but I'm thinking (hoping) that since I reload that I should be able to work up a reliable load.

              If it has older mags you will prolly need to buy new ones. the follower was prone to feeding the ammo wrong. this is a mk1 so I am sure the magazines were not replaced. You also will need the right ammo.

              Everything you will want to know about this gun can be answered here. There is a wealth of knowledge on those forums and any perceived problems you think you are having will be answered.

              Good luck and congrats for a great piece and a great buy. I am sure the previous owner sold it so cheap because it did not 'work right'.

                    Great buy for sure. Is that gun store off Madison in North Highlands? I've driven by that place many times and it sure is a curiosity. Nice neighborhood too!

                            That's the store! It's small and doesn't have a huge selection, the prices I observed looked to be better than most places.

                            It did occur to me that the prior owner may have had difficulty finding the right ammo for it. As a reloader, I'm pretty optimistic that I'll find a pet load for it that runs like a charm.

                            There's still a couple jugs of IMR-4227 (extruded stick) and the stick powders have always burned FAR cleaner than any of the ball powders. We'll just have to see. In the mean time I should have plenty of time to get a few boxes of test ammo ready for it.

                              Nice score, a DE is a DE no matter what caliber it is.

                              I'm personally not a fan of them but I can sure appreciate it them.
