Thing is way back eBay allowed firearms and whatever else goes with them. Because of public opinion following some of the school shootings and what have you eBay banned firearms and ammo sales. EBay...
I'm not a hunter but reading this thread with interest. I shoot both calibers though I'm more familiar with the 44. Just wanted to mention that the daddy of the 44, Elmer Keith, wrote that he began...

Those P-238s only came with one mag and the LGS didn't have spares for sale. My buddy loaned me the mustang mag so I would have two when I went to shoot. Worked spiffy, I've since bought a couple of...
