If anyone is contemplating a swiss M1889 rifle purchase the Simpson Ltd. site has

30% off listed prices. Just ordered a mate for my 1911 and K-31.

I have shot a lot of competition with K31s and like them a lot. However, AFAIK the 1889
is a different round and if you shoot GP11 in it (I THINK it might fit) you are way above
the rated pressure. I am not an expert on these older Swiss rifles by ANY measure, but
I think that you need to at minimum do your homework before you drop a GP11 round
into that chamber.
