Okay..This is getting to be a Maillemaker admiration day.
What he said about the experience is spot on.
The BPR shooting experience has so many parts that do not involve actually shooting.
First of all, the pistols are inexpensive enough that it is possible to own more than one giving the shooter an opportunity at true comparison.
Second, you have the maintaining of the pistol which almost always brings out the best in us.
Third, All BPR shooters are handloaders.
Fourth, The requirement for scrupulous cleaning of the pistols brings the shooting experience into the kitchen.
Fifth, the inherent beauty of the pistol serves as a sort of common denominator for every activity associated with shooting it. It s the thread that bind it all together.
Its like owning a sailboat. You better enjoy owning a sailboat about ten times more than you enjoy sailing a sailboat.
