I got my first 550 in the 1980's, over time I upgraded the rig to the RL 550 trim level. In the mid 1990's I got another 550, again over time that was also upgraded. My current setup uses one of...

From revolvers to semi auto pistols, bolt guns and semi auto rifles, I feel a need to shoot them all. Even the shotguns are a joy to use. I guess I am lucky, my wants and needs are the same.

My travel pistol is a Sig 229 in .40 S&W, concealed is a Walther PPK in .380.

1 pound can of Bullseye, used to load 38 specials in 1971. Still use the same load today, just buy 8 pounders when I can find them.
I found a large close knit net that is about 12*12, a couple of rocks on the corners and it lays flat. My Walther PP usually keeps a good pattern of ejected cases on the netting.
