    You can probably get the part from Charter, but if it were me I'd send it in to Charter.

    BTW, something's wrong with the ejector rod. The spring loaded collar should be snapped into a recess in...

    Used, I assume. I paid that for a 2010 vintage DAO Bulldog, last year.

    Bad years. Internet hearsay (YMMV) is, avoid the Charco years. See the second post here.

    I bought a Rock Island GI 3 years ago. The slide stop didn't always hold open after the last round. Replacing that part fixed the problem. Other than that, it's been extremely reliable. Total...

    I have a stainless 605 (same thing as the 85, in .357). Mine's never given me any trouble.

    Can you get a 3" Model 85 for the same price? That would be nice.

    (Had an Undercover, too, for a...

    It's been about 20 years. I think it was .303 British, to feed a No 4 Mk II I picked up. I know the .303 was the first of my own handloads I (with some apprehension) fired.

    Grip preference is very individual. I myself don't particularly like the factory boot grip that comes with that gun. I'd hit up ebay and look for an Uncle Mike's Boot Grip. Same thing, but (IMHO &...

    It works fine. I've had zero failures to feed, fire, eject, etc.

    I have a stainless 605 I picked up some years ago. (Whenever Heller was announced, that day I picked this gun up.)

    It's worked very well for me, for many hundreds of rounds.

    Yes. It works just fine.

    Take once fired 9x19 brass, size it, trim to length and deburr the case mouth. You'll probably want to mark them with a Sharpie marker, to distinguish them from 9x19...

    They're relatively inexpensive, and give you things like voltage, current draw, accumulated kilowatt hours. I've seen...

    The instructions make it look kind of complicated. It's really not. It's pretty trivial. (Hint, with the shellplate off, don't turn the shellplate holder over....)

    Thanks y-all for the replies. I tend to flare the minimum necessary -- perhaps I'll try a bit more. And start accumulating cash towards a lubri-sizer.
