I could probably load .45ACP cheaper than I can buy rimfire ammo and there is one huge benefit..... seeing a lumpy old .45 case being ejected over my right shoulder!! And because it'll be another one into the eye of the lying charlatan Gill Marshall-Andrews, that numpty North and any other half wit connected to GCN...

After careful consideration, I have decided that its just as ugly as an LBR or LBP. I'd sooner have a 9mm LR RIFLE although there is a rumour floating around that Bob has built a lever release 223.???

Imagine Jeff's face if the "Unicorn" had failed with .223 and not 9mm....?

You make some really good arguments as to why I should get one

My feelings exactly.
I don't pander to the government's social control legislation by fiddling with abortions like this & straight pull versions of semi automatic rifles.
Instead I damage the UK balance of trade by having two holidays a year in the US & shooting whatever I damn' well like.
In fact as I type, I'm sitting at a mate's kitchen table in Albuquerque, NM whilst taking a break from loading .357mag & .45ACP I expended up at the NRA Whittington Centre over the weekend.

Sim, the "we" was a general "we", not a specific we".
Talking of being on lists, I must see if you're still on mine...

However we are looking at it with the hindsight and experience of having owned and shot "proper" handguns however over the past 16 years since this country abused an innocent minority of its citizens for cheap political gain a whole new cohort of people have come into shooting who have no experience of "proper" handguns. To their new and unjaundiced eyes it is just another firearm to explore, learn to shoot and enjoy so to them I say good luck, if it gets people shooting and sharing a common interest around such anathemas then it has to be good and who are we to foist our prejudices on the up and coming generations of shooters? Is that our legacy?
I agree its an aberration but you've got to work with what you can get!

Well, yes you are, and IMHO in a worse way . This is a big 2 finger salute to the 1997 Firearms Act and everyone who supported it as it’s clearly a ‘get around’ gun razz
