I finally picked up a little .25 acp. It has a fun little story unto itself. As most know, Gander Mt. is going under and selling off their current stock at a discount. I noticed this nickel plated little pearl handled number in the display case. I just love these little old school vest pistols. It's a Galesi 504 (I think) probably made in the late 50's. It had a red tag reading $59.99. As soon as I asked to see it, the clerk says "You don't want that thing, it's broken". I ask further, and he says the head of their firearms department has deemed it unsafe and it is for parts only. I check it over, and can't find a thing wrong with it. I was probably warned not to buy, it's dangerous, don't shoot it, at least 10 times. Almost like they didn't WANT me to buy it. Based on my limited knowledge, and knowing full well the deep insight most big box store gun clerks have, I choose to take a leap. I ask for the forms. They made me sign a form saying I would use it for parts or display only. Last night I went out to display......how well it would shoot. She ran like a friggin top! 75 rds of S&B and I had 2 light primer strikes, 75 rds of PPU and nary a issue. So much for "broken".
Anyway........I need a bullet mould. Only thing I've been able to find is a RCBS for over $130. Considering I'm a hardcore LEE man, that seems like a fortune. I almost even went to the dark side and looked for factory jacketed bullets, but they want $15-$17 per hundred! No way. Any ideas?
