    I have a little .25 automatic pistol that I have had since a teenager, I'm 69 now.
    I purchased it from a dubious friend that trafficked in such articles (another story for another time).
    I paid $20 for it. ($15 for the owner and $5 "finders fee" for my dubious friend).
    It was missing the striker gismo. Being an industrious lad I fashioned a replacement out of an antique key.
    Fired a few rounds before the tip broke off of my makeshift striker.
    Ended up soldering a piece of a small nail on my "striker" to repair it, oh yes, I wound my own spring out of piano wire and made a guide from a small nail.
    I had no guides, no internet, just a teenagers ingenuity.
    I still have that little pistol with the same makeshift striker assembly, never fired since my teenage years.
    Funny thing is I have never really identified this pistol, on the left side of the slide is the following.
    "BREV-1922" then in an oval is "IAAG=Rr" then "PATENT"
    I have never found any information on it or a picture of it anywhere.

    I reload them because I got a bucket of brass and bullets at garage sale a few years ago. I made case holder out of plexiglass so they are spaced out 1/2-3/4 inches apart so I can grab them. I also weigh each brass on electronic scale and tare to zero then add powder and adjust to desired charge since I can not use powder measure.

    No such thing as heads in loading components,
    Spell check doesn't work in Chrome, so if something is spelled wrong, it's just a typo that I missed.
