recoil same,worse or not as bad as 357 revolver

Prices going up, up, up.....

Don't forget that expenses go up for business as well.Insurance,elec,wages,gas etc.Although I think some companies use this as an excuse to raise prices and do not spread the profits around. >:(

Pawn shop score - mags

what does keep shooting mean by the mags are the weak link in the p64?I have not trouble with my originals.Even though a mag may be "decades old" it does not mean they are bad.I think it's a scare tactic to make you buy.I have an 80 yr old spanish 380 pistol and the mag works fine.What do ...
