What is the oldest cartridge handgun you own that you still fire?,,,
Mine would be Margaux,,,
My Model 1892 8mm Lebel,,,
Date stamped on the barrel 1903.
So Margaux is eleventy one years old this year,,,
Last year I got real lucky and scored 550 rounds of new Fiocchi ammo,,,
So now I can actually shoot her on occasion and not use up my six rounds of original ammo.
I had been nursing a box of reloads I bought from Gad's Custom Ammo,,,
But the 550 rounds of new stuff I bought should last me a long time.
I ran three cylinders of six rounds through her,,,
I kept all of the shots on a 10" paper plate at 25 yards.
It's not like I want to shoot her too often,,,
I just really have no interest in owning wall-hangers,,,
If I can't find ammo and shoot a gun I really don't want to own it.
So, post some pics of your shootable senior citizens,,,
Let's see what our grandfathers used.
