Funny, but even I recognise the `friend` - Some kind of special bloke isn`t he ?
Course his cover is blown the moment he pulls them .45s.

Arre Sir we can only dream of this list unless we travel to your neck of the woods. Tell me if the .455 webley revolver is even nicer to shoot. These pistols are actually almost like handcannons. But I suspect I'm becoming a recoil junkie .penpusher";p="34749 wrote: Dev,
Now fire the IOF .32 and you will realize how poorly it handles.Now that you have fired one classic firearm try to fire others,which you can find in India.I will give you a list:-
1.Webley .455(really makes a BIG hole)
2.WG .476(getting ammo for this is going to be problem.Personally have fired just 2 rounds from this)
3.Luger 9mm.The artillery luger with a stock and 32 round drum magazine is fun
4.Astra 900
5.Walther P 38
6. Mauser C96
7.Webley Fosbery
8.S&W .455
Hunter,
Delhi folks are not that lucky.You need a PB license to won a .45 pistol there.
Wish I could lay my hands on one of em.

Well Delhi has a really fine collection of nuts and in the collection is an armourer who cares more for his friends than the bottom line. So yes Sir, we are a blessed lot indeed.So may be either you mistaken about the price of the ammo or some nut sold it cheap to you.

I think I am going to puke at the brown nosing and duplicitous posts being made on this thread.
Hey, Art_Collector aka Rakesh Anand of Garg Armoury, give that precious act of yours a rest. It's been going on for sometime and it's begining to get on my nerves.
What's more, don't try and make these blokes feel obliged to you. You sold the ammo at the going rate and did not do them any favours.

Re: Just got an understanding of why Massad Ayyob is 45 craz
Hunter, where in Mumbai are you getting S&B at 100 to 110 per round; I'd like to get some too. The cheapest S&B I have access too costs 150; Winchesters are 290; MFS is 100. All are 230 gr FMJ. HPs are 300 bucks if you are lucky to find them. I just have 3 left with me.Hunter";p="34723 wrote:Hi Dev,Olly
That was a wonderfully described experience! I was of the opinion that only us Mumbai folk were the lucky ones who could get a 45 licence....dosent seem so now!
Hi AC ,
the cost of 45 ammo(Sellior & Bellot ) in Mumbai is now at about 100-110 per round.
Take care and happy shooting!

Aha my 45 pistoleros, welcome to the baaadest gun around. Been that way from a long time I'm told, plastics may come and go but blue steel and walnut, stoked with anything from 180grn PSP to Black Talons or the plainjane 230grn, rule!
Let me add to the heart burn, for 52 weekends, i let off 150-200 rounds of 45 through a 1911,mostly on sat nights, while in S Africa. Most times it was handloads, but around pay day, it was branded ammo-That was after my mandatory 100 with the CZ75 in 9mm-I came away, a devout devotee of the 'big 'un' and an undying faith in the ability of the CZ to belt out 16 of the best, unfailingly.

Hunter, are you sure? May be they have mixed the manufacturers around? MFS is 100 but S&B is 150. I will double check tomorrow again.Hunter";p="34848 wrote:Hi AMK,

Are there any good places to shoot in Pune or even Lonavla; ranges, but open spaces would be better?

Huh, I can beat that - I used to load 200-500 rounds of .45acp most weeks.
- And people wonder why I detest handloading !
Mack The Knife, you seem to resort to anal references when `ticked-off`....... I remember being subjected to something in that general nature myself when `crossing` your `line in the dirt`..................
You haven`t `gone off on one` for a while..........I wonder what I can say to provoke you ? It`s not healthy to bottle-up your frustrations you know.
